Episodio 8 - Voodoo - copertina

Copertina "vintage" di Voodoo, l'avventura che rivela le origini segrete di Karnifex: alla fine degli anni 1960, qualcuno riuscì a uccidere un assassino seriale...con il risultato di scatenare, anni dopo, una minaccia persino peggiore!

Chi è veramente Karnifex, e perchè la sua maledizione si sposta da un ospite a un altro, bruciandoli spietatamente?

La risposta può giungere solo da colui che diede inizio alla stirpe: un sinistro personaggio che indossa perennemente una maschera da teschio!

In the final pages of Episode 8 - Voodoo, Giovanni finds himself wearing a powerless suit-- he may be masked like Karnifex, but the Karnifex powers are gone!

And who is the mysterious witch whose voodoo rituals are forcing Giovanni to kill his own partners of the company board?

Answers won't be found until Giovanni faces another masked killer from the 1960s-- is he the original Karnifex, and does he know the true origin of the Karnifex curse?

All will be revealed in this nightmarish and deadly conclusion-- but will someone get out of here alive?

WHO IS KARNIFEX?

Karnifex is the supernatural masked killer whose appearance is constantly changing, as his curse moves from one man to another.

Whoever receives the Karnifex uniform cannot avoid donning it: the gasmask, the gloves, the catsuit, the boots.

The host is transformed, as their most secret and inhuman urges are brought to the surface, turning the man into the remorseless killer!

From that moment on, the gasmask and the uniform become the only real identity of the host, who begins a second life made of blood, sex and theft.

But the Karnifex Suit is a curse, and as such, will ultimately spell doom for the host and anyone whose life has been touched by Karnifex's deadly touch.

Wild West Karnifex

Karnifex is the supernatural masked killer whose appearance is constantly changing, as his curse moves from one man to another.

Wild West Karnifex (also known as KowBoy Karnifex) took possession of the young son of a Federal Marshal (or a Ranger?) and a Native American woman, turning the friendly kid into a deadly gunner.
Raping the same women that his father and his uncle swore to protect from the abuse of the white men, Wild West Karnifex is just waiting for the chance to challenge his own father in a quickest-draw contest.
For the moment, though, the kid is just happy to wait for the night, sneak out of the firecamp, don the leather mask of Karnifex and have his actual clothes transformed into the Karnifex suit. That's when the slaughter begins.
Yes, the everyday clothes of the kid are actually a disguised version of the Karnifex suit: in the Wild West, there was just no way to carry around a backpack for the full Karnifex suit without rising suspicions.
How the kid manages to remain so sunny and charming, even if he spends the whole day wrapped in the Karnifex curse, is truly a mystery of its own.
