Issue 16
"Sodd, We Hardly Knew Ye"
Pity poor Sodd, the Thing Called It. The former Herbert Moss was turned into a
vegetative creature in a freak accident. Arrested for damaging public property,
he has achieved notoriety and fame (his autobiography is being turned into a
T.V. movie, and he's even successfully defended a paternity suit) as his case
has slowly made it's way through the courts. When the day of his trial finally
arrives, Sodd interrupts his attorney's opening statement to make an impassioned
plea for the environment -- then flees the courtroom to join forces with the
Terra-ists, a radical environmental group. Now, he's a wanted fugitive, and
what's worse, his attorney's are displeased with him!
Wolff and Byrd have been handling Sodd's case since the first issue of their
comic book (April, 1994). Now, in issue 16, Sodd's story is finally coming to an
end. Will he find true love with activist Fern Levine? Or will he end up
withering on the vine in jail? And will he make enough money from his book and
TV movie to pay for his legal fees?
To help wrap up the Sodd saga, cartoonist Batton Lash has enlisted the talents
of several popular artists (many of them known for their association with
vegetative creatures). Steve Bissette's portrayal of Sodd is featured on the
special wraparound cover, while Rick Veitch has supplied a comic strip page.
Other cartoonists contributing to the issue include Bernie Wrightson, Charles
Vess, Sean McManus, Phil Hester, and Jeff Smith.
Lash plans to donate the original art for the cover as well as the guest
interior art to the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund for a future auction.

Issue 14
"Bad Blood"
The Big Easy Gets a Little Tough for Wolff & Byrd
Attorneys Alanna Wolff and Jeff Byrd acquired the one and only Count Dracula as
a client back in issue #6 of Wolff & Byrd, Counselors of the Macabre.
Now the ancient vampire once again has need of their services -- it seems some young
upstart vampires in New Orleans are raising his blood pressure.
In issue #14 of Wolff & Byrd, Alanna and Jeff accompany the Count to the
Crescent City, a place that abounds with monsters, witches, and spirits -- and not
just during Mardi Gras!
The new generation of vampires are headquartered in an eerie old mansion, once a
gothic church, that is owned by a mysterious woman, Ayn Wryce. These young
creatures of the night are more than just roommates -- they're "Fiends."
Readers will find this a comic they can really sink their teeth into. During the
course of the issue, gris gris is performed, gumbo is consumed, secrets are
revealed, and writs are filed.
Says Batton Lash, writer/artist of Wolff & Byrd, "Setting the story in New
Orleans provides some visual treats, and the undead are always good for a few
laughs. I get in my digs at goths, annoying sitcoms, old world thinking, popular
novelists, relationships, and, of course, our favorite bloodsuckers: vampires
and lawyers."

Wolff & Byrd, Counselors of the Macabre: Case Files, Vol. 4.
