This 76-page 12 x 9 trade paperback collects 14 stories from the weekly comic strip 'Wolff &amp; 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.

Sonovawitch!: And Other Tales of Supernatural Law

Batton Lash

"The straight-faced adventures of a couple of lawyers practicing in defense of supernatural creatures is more than unique: It is an idea whose time has come. With hysterically funny situations and smart, fluid dialogue, Wolff and Byrd, a really cool team of lawyers, defend vampires, monsters, and creatures from the nether world. And the stories are cunningly set in an ambience of no-kidding realism.

Vampire Brat: And Other Tales of Supernatural Law

In 1979, Lash created the comic strip "Wolff &amp; Byrd, Counselors of the Macabre," about two attorneys specializing in cases dealing with supernatural matters. Unlike Wolfram &amp; Hart, the law firm with a similar clientele on the TV show Angel, Alanna Wolff and her partner, Jeff Byrd, have always been on the good guys' side, and their exploits are comedies. Over time, Wolff and Byrd have migrated from one comics venue to another, and now star in their own comic book, Supernatural Law, from which the stories were collected for this paperback. The stories aren't laugh-out-loud funny, but instead deal in quiet, gentle whimsy. The appealingly cartoony art maintains a light tone even in the more morbid scenes; the firm's secretary looks as if she grew up in Archie's Riverdale. Lash is overly fond of some of comics' and soap opera's kitschier clichEs. His characterizations tend to be one-dimensional; Wolff and Byrd have little personality and function as the straight men to a supporting cast of eccentrics. What's most impressive about this book are the inventive concepts. In the title story, a man with an obsessively negative attitude visually transforms into a "photo-negative" version of himself. Lash parodies pop culture targets ranging from Stephen King and Harry Potter to other comics. The high point is a satire on Dave Sim's Cerebus comics, which should delight even readers unfamiliar with the target. After a full quarter century, it's remarkable that Wolff and Byrd's saga still demonstrates such imaginative vitality.
