Evil walks the Earth in many forms, but so do those who oppose it. Protecting the innocent & seeking justice, they fight to beat back the darkness. Their names are legend or soon shall be. Welcome To Murphy's Lore After Hours.

Doing what's right and beating back the darkness. That's the Mug Life.

In this latest volume, Murphy tries to help a father find a better end to his pain then joins forces with a gremlin to disarm a bomb in a lingerie shop; the NYPD arrests Hex when he's framed by a cannibal granny; hitman Vince Argus plays hide and seek with a target who's in jail; Sir Dagonet awaits execution yet still stands between a town and a dragon that threatens to drown them all; Daye the Daemor learns that not every assassination is easy; the Pink Reaper must find if the King of Killers is back or if there is a deadly new heir apparent; Agent Karver of the DMA has a very bad Christmas and a deadly New Year; Bambi the succubus is sent to capture a rogue demon loose on Earth; the Phoenixian enters into a very unusual relationship with a serial killer; Edgar Tonic and Tommy the jinn even things up with Edgar's ex-wife; Terrorbelle searches for her father during the alternate future of the Mystacaust then faces off against a bovine C-Rex before heading to Hollywood to stop a blackmailer; and Moni the Graveyard Angel confronts an unusual graverobber.
