Jinx Holliday, a slender blonde teenage white girl, leaps out at the viewer with a determined look on her face and holding an electric guitar. Behind her stands her friend Danni Malloy, a tall slender white girl with long red hair, holding up her fists ready to fight, and Madam Satan, a brunette white woman with devil horns and gray streaks in her hair. Madam Satan is in a collar restraint with chains. Satan and various monsters stand behind them, and Satan holds a milkshake with gross body parts inside. Pictures from different Archie Horror comics fly around the figures, and Jinx shoots purple mystical energy from her fingertips.

THE CURSED LIBRARY #1 (of 3): ALPHA

This is it… this is the moment our horror one-shots have led to… THE CURSED LIBRARY!
When we last left off in MADAM SATAN: HELL ON EARTH, Jinx has the former Queen of the Underworld trapped in the mysterious library, as her father-bestowed demon powers have intensified. To stop Jinx from becoming like her father, her best friend Danni Malloy must rescue and convince Madam Satan to guide her through Hell itself to find the one thing that can possibly save her friend’s soul––Jinx’s mom. Along the way, they’ll also discover a number of faces they’ve seen before, though only in the pages of the terrifying tomes within the cursed library. This three-issue limited series horror event tells a story about the bonds that tie us together and how the only thing that can save the world from evil is radical love. It’s Riverdale’s Return of the Jedi meets Dante’s Inferno. A three-part event that will close the door on the Cursed Library and usher in a whole new chapter of horror stories.
