The Underworld Railroad

Publisher by: Viper Comics

While many of the stories that surround the Underground Railroad are well documented, its origins are not. If history has taught us anything it’s that for every great idea, there is a greater source of inspiration. For as long as civilized man has walked the Earth, another form of the railroad has existed. The Underworld Railroad, although not unlike its sister version in terms of concept, was put into place for a very different reason. When a human being dies, its spirit is either called to Heaven or escorted to Hell based on the sins the person commits while alive. For those spirits forced to enter Hell as the wrongly accused - - there is hope. A system of safe houses has been established around the globe, offering refuge for the confused and bewildered spirits who attempt to outrun the devil. This is their story.

“Jason M. Burns, master of the high concept, strikes again with THE UNDERWORLD RAILROAD!  Conceptually, RAILROAD is a solid book. With books like this and THE EXPENDABLE ONE, Burns has really shown himself to be one of the best high-concept guys working in comics today.”
