Shuck Unmasked Graphic Novel
Shuck is a devil trying to retire peacefully in a small town - but keeps getting pulled back into the troubles of hell.
This 168 page trade paperback collects the first four issues (plus covers) of Shuck Comics AND includes 48 pages of new material (originally slated for issues #5 and #6). With an introduction by Jeff Smith, creator of Bone!
Chris Allen describes Shuck in his Breakdowns column: 'It’s like Promethea meets Little Lulu, and quite beguiling.' Shuck is a demon who used to be in the business of guarding souls. Wearing an old man mask to hide his goat-faced nature and to fit into his new retired lifestyle, Shuck lives in a house next door to little Thursday Friday, her mom and her talking cat Jamara. The mask doesn't help him hide and Shuck is drawn into the netherworld he thought he had left behind. Adventure ensues.
A Glowing Review

Dave Sim (Cerebus) writes:
"I don't think any explanation could do it justice, but how about: What if Seth and Alan Moore decided to do a ghost story with a George Herriman feel to it?"
