BRIEF STORY SYNOPSIS (SPACEBASS):
Tristram Gantry was a prospector that headed out West to try and find
a fortune so that he could build a life for his love, Clara. He traveled for many years without
luck, and finally ended up in the ghost town of Perdition while the 'Circus of Souls' was there.
SPACEBASS SAYS:
If you love westerns, you'll love this one shot issue. 'Perdition Blues' is
set in the Nevada territory circa 1863 and it's a creepy little yarn. (the creepier the better,
in my book) Crain mixes it up in this issue- one page will be a splash, and then the next page will
have a ton of frames with great details. My only quibble is that on some of the pages, I was left
wondering if some of the frames were left out by accident. Longtime inker Kevin Conrad was
helped by Jonathan Glapion on this issue probably due to the fact that Kevin's mother passed
away as seen on the Psycho Babble page. Kevin has been working on Kiss Psycho Circus since the
beginning, and I have long suspected that he is the 'glue' of the creative team. Our condolences
to the Conrad family.
We work long & hard on many of the pictures found on this site. Please do us a favor: don't
rationalize stealing ANYTHING. If you can't create an original web site, don't do one!
Real simple, right? Anyway, if you do, I'll let my boys Nicky & Mickey pay you a visit. I may
even go as far as getting the Nightmare King to resurrect Deuce! This could get ugly...
