Wolff & Byrd, Counselors of the Macabre: Supernatural Law

This 76-page 12 x 9 trade paperback collects 14 stories from the weekly comic strip 'Wolff & Byrd, Counselors of the Macabre,' which has been appearing in the National Law Journal since 1983. The stories feature attorneys Alanna Wolff and Jeff Byrd, who specialize in a unique clientele: vampires, werewolves, and things that go bump in the night. This mix of humor and horror has created quite a national following for the strip. Among stories included in this collection are parodies of the 'Beauty and the Beast' TV series and 'Prairie Home Companion'; an excursion to visit a client in hell; and a case involving a cartoon cat accidentally brought to life.
