Lord of Gore

The Headsman. Medieval executioner. Horror franchise star. Slasher icon. For nearly thirty years, the Headsman has been terrifying moviegoers, and steadily building a body count. He carried the torch, when Freddy, Jason, and Michael faded from the spotlight. For screenwriter Danny Graves, it was a career-making assignment. Little did he know that it would end with a madman in a mask threatening to destroy his life, and murder everyone he's ever loved.

Decades ago scandal propelled the Lord of Gore B-movie franchise to mainstream success. In 1989 the film's costumed slasher actor murdered a young actress in ways worse than his on-screen character, creating a media frenzy. Now on the cusp of a modern reboot, a struggling screenwriter learns that the deranged star wasn't the only guilty party that night, but before he can share the information, the film's slasher seems to have stepped from the screen into real life to stop him.

Lord of Gore collects all 5 issues of the series.
