In Joe Golem Occult Detective #3 witches are being targeted by a clay monster in 15th century Slavonia, whilst five hundred years later Joe Golem tries to save the Drowning City’s missing children from an amphibious creature that has them down as his main course. Or does he?

What Joe Golem discovers in the watery depths makes Joe and his partner Simon Church question the origins and motives of the water breathing nasty. And just what is that potion that Church keeps giving Joe?

Two issues of Joe Golem Occult Detective to go before all the loose ends are tied up so don’t expect any answers in the meantime. However, it does look like Joe Golem is going to get to go on a date with the cute schoolteacher so it’s not all doom and gloom. Supernatural noir from a first class writing and art team

Joe Golem Occult Detective #3 is supernatural noir from a first class writing and art team makes for a slow burn tension builder at the mid-way point of this engrossing saga.
