The Damned

The Damned is a horror-noir American comic book created by Cullen Bunn and Brian Hurtt, and published by Oni Press. Plot synopsis The Damned is set in prohibition era in a city where demonic crime families vie for human souls. The narrator, Eddie Tamblyn, is a man cursed to return from the dead—whoever touches Eddie while he's dead, assumes his fatal wounds and Eddie's resurrected. Because of his unique abilities, Eddie often finds himself being used by the crime families for their own ends. Three Days Dead The Aligheri and Roarke crime families are coming to a "mutually beneficial" agreement set to put an end to their territorial squabbles, but the demon sent to broker the truce has gone missing. Eddie agrees to find the missing broker for Alphonse Aligheri in exchange for wiping his debts. Ill-Gotten Pauly Bones, an old double dealer from Eddie's past, seeks refuge at the Gehenna Room now that Eddie's got a "no demons allowed" policy. The demons want something from Pauly, something that might just be enough to trade for a few souls.
