Runoff

Locally produced comic book by Tom Manning. Includes issues 1-4. These were reprinted in graphic novel form in 2015. Publisher's description: "Mysterious things are happening in Range, a small town in the shadow of Mount Rainier. The lives of the inhabitants are at risk. Ghosts are running cars off the roads. Wolves are roaming the streets. Before long deformed and savaged bodies turn up in the woods. Runoff is dark, stylish, funny, visceral, and more than anything else: Unpredictable. Before the narrative reaches its powerful conclusion there will be force-fields, ghosts, werewolves, tesseracts, talking animals, vampires, mummies, a dissertation on the fourth dimension, government conspiracies, comic strips, and, naturally, a municipal election."
