Doc Voodoo: Aces & Eights

Harlem, 1926.


As the West Indies and the Harlem Knights wage a bloody turf war, the Irish, Italian and Jewish mobs circle like sharks and a helpless community bleeds. But one of Harlem's darkest denizens has been called by the old gods in answer to the people's prayers for help. He stalks Harlem's night as a skull-faced, gun-toting, voodoo-powered avenger that the people call the Cemetery Man... the Witch Doctor... the Dread Baron...
??But you can just call him Doc Voodoo.

Navigating a minefield of gang rivalries, political corruption, and black magic, Doc Voodoo lays down a new law in Harlem, dispensing two-fisted justice with a heaping helping of hot lead!
