ROTLAND DREADFULS VOL.2 NO.2 BY BEN JONES

The ROTLAND DREADFULS series is an homage to the cheaply-produced 19th century English pamphlets known as"Penny Dreadfuls"— so named because the original cost was one penny and they contained stories considered shocking and sensational. "On the Way Down" presents "four cautionary tales intended to deter the corruption of mass capitalism."
