Poe Creators Featured at GEM
|
Writer J. Barton Mitchell and artist Dean Kotz, creators of Boom! Studios' mini-series Poe were the featured guests at a signing at Geppi's Entertainment Muesum (GEM) on Saturday, October 17, 2009.
GEM and many other places in the region have participated in the city's year-long celebration of author Edgar Allan Poe and his work.
For those who have yet to discover it, Poe is set fter the death of his wife, when the author teeters on the precipice of complete madness. Visions of those who met untimely ends torture him, as does the memory of his deceased bride. His brother, a Baltimore police officer, struggles with what to do with him. Then the third in a suspicious string of killings pulls Poe out of his despair by giving him focus. Detecting a supernatural component to the crimes, the author of the world’s first detective story, “The Murders in the Rue Morgue,” turns his considerable mind to solving them alongside his brother. Can he crack the case and save his own sanity as well?
