Purple Claw #8
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeDr. Gool, a mad scientist who commands an army of the living dead, encounters his nemesis Dr. Weir and reveals plans for a radioactive fluid that can animate corpses. The Purple Claw pursues Dr. Gool through sewers and eventually to the lair of Brima, Queen of the Undead. A man named Señor Weir investigates the haunted house of the deceased Don Carlo, discovering a skeleton costume and learning that Don Carlo's restless spirit may be seeking eternal peace, with the implication that he has claimed another victim.
In 1943, Dr. Weir’s act of kindness toward an African witch doctor earns him the mysterious Purple Claw—a gift that will prove vital decades later. When Dr. Gool unleashes a deadly experiment with radioactive fluid, raising the dead to serve his global conquest, the Purple Claw stands as the only force capable of stopping him.
In "The Devil Is a Dame," Brima Stone, a she-devil wielding an enchanted gun and aided by her demonic minions, unleashes chaos across the city. When her crimes grow too bold, the mysterious Doctor Jonathan Weir—known as The Purple Claw—steps in to bring her down.
In "null," Jonathan’s holiday in the eerie town of Zocalo takes a dark turn when a series of murders begin, each marked by the chime of midnight and whispered rumors of the ghost of Don Carlo. As the clock tolls, Jonathan finds himself drawn into a mystery where the line between past and present blurs, and the town’s secrets run deeper than anyone expected.
