82. THE MAMMY (Kickstarter) Phil Elliott
This is the final strip collaboration between Eddie Campbell and Phil Elliott and they went out with a bang. The basic plot is "The Mammy" and her children, Lucifer (returning from a cameo in RODNEY, and next appearing in the Trident miniseries also by Campbell/Elliott), Hubert the royal vampire, Blobber, and later in the series Spook. I can't even begin to describe what the "plot" of this insanity would be! My favorite sequence (below) is when Lucifer turns into a werewolf and chases Paul Hooper: Dole Snooper (the villain of the strip) out of Mammy's house before being set upon himself by The Melton Mowbray Hunting Association. What the...?
As a bonus in this collection Eddie Campbell writes a long introduction and includes two versions of his script for Phil Elliott for one of the above strips.
Also, when the strip was cancelled by SOUNDS it was unfinished. Campbell writes in the introduction that he and Elliott completed thirteen more strips after the above sequence for it's reprinting in HONK #5.
