Dare you step within the sinister halls of The Electric Black? A doomed ship infested with demonic rats, an elixir of life that devolves people into blood craving monsters, and a nefarious necklace with apocalyptic properties all await you inside. The cursed antique shop calls out, appearing in any time or space, soliciting new customers that it hungers to corrupt or devour. The poor souls that enter never leave empty handed. Its dark light will shine on macabre mysteries, grisly murders, and other frightful occurrences. This inaugural volume collects the first four issues of the quarterly, ongoing series, containing exclusive bonus artwork and a special cover gallery. We've combined aspects of the three different business models (comic books, gift cards, and trading cards) to form a hybrid concept/company called Comic Tags. A Comic Tag is a gift card/credit card shaped plastic card that has a unique scratch off code that allows the user to download a PDF copy of the graphic novel pictured on the card. These cards are attached to a mini comic book shaped hangable backers that open and close just like a mini comic book.
