Cincinnati Cabinet of Curiosities Issue #1
Keeping the Queen City weird one comic at a time
Cincinnati Cabinet of Curiosities is a 36-page comic anthology exploring the paranormal lore of 6 locations in the
Cincinnati region.
The stories range from hauntings and cryptids to urban legends. The comic about Sedamsville
Rectory is based on actual paranormal experiences that editor Kat Klockow had investigating there!
Take a tour through the Tri-State’s most notable creepy stories and urban legends, visiting the ghostly Sir Harry at the Loveland Castle, searching for the Loveland Frogman at the banks of the Little Miami River or go swimming with the Ohio River Mermaids. Get lost in the ghostly hymns sung from the Cincinnati Music Hall, or come face-to-face with the poltergists of Sedamsville Rectory. Finally, encounter a ghostly floating skull or two at Satan’s Hallow.

Cincinnati Cabinet of Curiosities Issue #2: Trails, Trains, and Terror
This year’s offerings of stories prove to be as spine-tingling and astonishing as last year’s, with new and returning Tri-State artists. Some stories are personal encounters such as the specters at the Sorg Opera House and the ethereal editor of the Chillicothe Gazette. The weird side of the Queen City is highlighted with the urban legend of the Screaming Bridge at Maud Hughes Road who haunts these pages with its dark apparitions, while the weird history is highlighted with the Magic 8-ball and its connection to Price Hill Medium Laura Pruden. Finally, the anthology holds fantastical takes on the strange snake creature who stalked the citizens of Crosswick.
Our goal with this yearly anthology series is to shine a spotlight on the superb local talents of Tri-State area artists.
Once again, the book is edited by Kat Klockow.
