“Black Kiss Book Six”

In "Black Kiss Book Six," Howard Chaykin crafts a dark, surreal descent as Pollack follows a lead from the eerily identical Laine and Grove to uncover the location of a mysterious reel. His trail leads through the occult bookshop "The Oath of Incannabulata," where he steals a tome on the enigmatic "Order of Bonniface," then into the unsettling confines of the funeral home "Tanas," where celebrity mourners perform strange, ritualistic acts. With Chaykin handling both the story and art—joined by Ella Vine’s distinctive interiors and Ken Bruzenak’s sharp lettering—this issue pulses with eerie atmosphere, all rendered in bold, striking style. The cover, also by Chaykin, captures the story’s brooding intensity.

Laine and Grove (who look virtually identical) provide Pollack with a lead as to where the reel is after the death of Father Murtaugh. This takes Pollack first of all to an occult bookshop called "The Oath of Incannabulata" where he steals a copy of a book about the mysterious "Order of Bonniface". After the bookshop he ends up in a funeral home called "Tanas" where he finds a number of celebrities indulging in bizarre rituals.
