Return to Voodoo Island #1
In "The Dark Island," John Blackburn launches a haunting, atmospheric return to Voodoo Island, where Coley reunites with old allies and faces new dangers. With Kit, Harry, and Lon in tow, he recounts his past ordeal with Rev. Swinborne while navigating the island’s eerie rhythms, only to be warned by the enigmatic Lulu about a mysterious new threat—the Black Widow. Blackburn’s deeply personal art and storytelling, from pencils to inks, bring the island’s secrets to life in a story that’s equal parts memory, mystery, and menace.

To get away from it all, Coley returns to Voodoo Island, with Kit, Harry & Lon in tow. Coley tells Kit the full story of what happened when he was kidnapped by Rev. Swinborne. He meets up with Maria, whom he knew from his previous trip, and asks her to dance with him for the tourists. Lulu, the voodoo priestess, warns him of "The Black Widow," a new sorceress on the island who's an "evil beetch." Coley saves Kit & Lon from a shark, almost at the cost of his own life.
