The gang from the hit horror podcast The Last Podcast on the Left are partnering with DC on a six-part comic book series called DC Horror Presents: Soul Plumber. This series, the second in the recently-launched DC Horror imprint, harkens back to the classic horror comics of DC’s past.
“Edgar Wiggins, a disgraced former seminary student, is desperate to find a way to answer what he believes is his higher calling,” reads DC’s description of Soul Plumber #1. “He thinks he’s found it in a seminar hosted in a hotel conference room by the Soul Plumbers, who have a machine that could be the secret to delivering souls from Satan.
“Edgar’s too broke to buy in, but that’s not enough to stop this true devotee: he steals the blueprints and builds a pirated version with what components he can afford on his gas station attendant salary. Then he goes after a demon, misses… and ends up pulling out something much worse.”
DC Horror Presents: Soul Plumber is written by The Last Podcast on the Left’s trio of comedians Ben Kissel and Henry Zebrowski, alongside researcher Marcus Parks.
John McCrea is drawing the six-issue series, after a string of horror comics such as The Athiest, Cruel and Unusual, and even an installment of Bart Simpson’s Treehouse of Horror.
