RODRIGO BURIED LONG LONG AGO #1 Writer: Anthony Cleveland Artist: Alex Cormack Publisher: Mad Cave Studios Cover Price: $4.99 Release Date: April 16, 2025 Based on true events, from 1901-1908 Belle Gunness lured dozens of lonely men to her Indiana farm and savagely murdered them for their money.

This is a fairy-tale retelling of her brutal crimes from the perspective of her three young children…who soon discover there is something far worse, and far more evil, than their mother on the farm. Something Buried Long, Long Ago. [rating: 4/5]
