This Wednesday October 6, AHOY Comics will begin a brand new season of their Poe-tacular horror comedy series, now entitled EDGAR ALLAN POE'S SNIFTER OF DEATH. The first issue kicks off with the latest incredible installment of Mark Russell and Peter Snejbjerg's "Monster Serials"—in which the Marquis de Cocoa, under fire from angry townspeople, finds himself in the company of a rather unusual advocate: an oat-loving Quaker—and also includes a story by AHOY veterans Stuart Moore and Frank Cammuso, in which we meet Poe as a boy and learn—well, why he's like this...

Stuart Moore: "Edgar Allan Poe has been around for...decades, I think? He's known for these crazy spooky stories and stuff—but nobody's ever told his ORIGIN before. When I found that out, I couldn't believe it. I said 'Frank, Frank!* We gotta tell Poe's ORIGIN. You know, so the continuity will make sense!' Tom Peyer decided to give us six pages to shut us up, and the rest is retroactive history. So enjoy!"

*Frank Cammuso, of course. He draws great!

Tom Peyer: "To think about Poe at all is morbid. To think about him as a child is... I can't even face the end of that sentence."

Mark Russell: "Edgar Allan Poe is the quintessential American writer. And not just because he died alone in a ditch."
