EDGAR ALLAN POE`S SNIFTER OF DEATH #5 (OF 6) (MR)

Two compete, Poe-inflected comedies from new comics writer Kirk Vanderbeek. In "A Pound of Flesh," a man guiltily obsesses over a debt to a friend who's died. "Postal" introduces Augie Doobin, a consulting detective who won't let a dose of LSD interfere with solving a murder case. PLUS: Prose, pictures, and possibly poetry!
