'Orrible Murders

The David Lloyd bibliography (here) has a one line mention of a comic from September 1992 called 'Orrible Murders! The question is though...what is this comic? Until just the other day I had no idea what it was, the good news is that I'm much clearer about that...

Published by the Society for Strip Illustration as a limited edition (of 200) the issue I've picked up has been signed by a number of the creators involved - specifically David Lloyd, Nick Vince, Duncan Fegredo, Hilary Robinson, Dave King, Ian Ellery, Brad! Brooks and Roger Langridge...
Neil Gaiman's plot is set in Deathwatch manor and sees a number of characters attempting to survive 3 nights at the manor in order to inherit the estate of the recently deceased, eccentric millionaire owner, Silas Gore.

Here's the list of creators involved...


Here's Sean Phillips and Duncan Fegredo (whatever happened to them?) contribution...

  1. Would really like to know how much you paid as I too have a copy. The whole thing was created from scratch over the course of a weekend during a London Comic Convention in 1992.
