When four teenagers with haunted pasts enroll in Blackwood College—a school that trains students in the occult—their desire to enhance their supernatural abilities and bond with others is hampered by an undead dean's curse, ghosts in their dorm, a mischievous two-headed mummy-chimp, a plague of mutant insects, and the discovery of an ancient evil that forces our heroes to undergo a crash course in the occult for the sake of the world.

Collects the first two volumes of Blackwood in a deluxe, hardcover, and oversized format with a new cover, a bonus sketchbook section, pinups by Peach Momoko, Becky Cloonan, Andrew MacLean, Tyler Crook, and many more!

Review of Blackwood Library Edition by Evan Dorkin

4 stars

Secret schools are among my favorite tropes. Blackwood is a secret school for actual witchcraft inside a school for the study of witchcraft. The scholarship students (read: misfits and outsiders) aren't quite as lucky to be there as they thought, since they were recruited for the secret school whose multiple hundreds of years old Dean just tried to kill one of them.

Ultimately, this is a love story. (What?!) And that's why I think you should read it. It's everything I told you and nothing you'd expect. Also there's a curse and a very angry chimp. Delightful.
