Buried in 1827, Robert Lovett had rested in peace until grave-robbers break into his tomb. Lovett now rises from the dead and finds he has some startling powers –and deaths follow.

As the walking dead-man moves through the war torn streets of London a determined Scotland Yard detective sets out to track down the mysterious killer at large and confronting that killer ….could mean certain death!

Be prepared for some rather surreal humour to break up the grim story.

William McCail’s 1940 classic is reprinted for the first time in 60 years. The original printing was not what we might consider even middling quality these days but Gerald Swan (the original publisher) had to make do with war time restrictions.  The pages have been scanned, cleaned and where necessary text cleaned up.

If you are into British Golden Age comics or early comics in general this is for you. And it has a nifty atmospheric cover!
