"Bad Idea is at it again, the publisher that brought you the “invisible” slabbed comic has been hard at work in the lab, and now they can finally announce CUL-DE-SAC #1 Impaled Edition. A CGC-graded, ultra-limited comic book impaled with a handcrafted wooden stake. A 3-person team of engineers spent 7 months figuring out the right combination of repetitive heating and cooling to puncture a CGG holder without cracking the case or shattering it into a million pieces. A 30-year veteran wood maker has handcrafted stakes that puncture the comics. And a big-budget Hollywood special effects wizard created the blood splatter. New York Times bestseller Mike Carey and illustrator Jonathan Wayshak are joining forces to give us a new horror title, CUL-DE-SAC #1, arriving at your local comic store on August 6." -Javier Perez, The Beat
"Only Bad Idea would dream up a way to destroy a comic and increase its value. Only CGC would help them pull it off. This is what happens when creative insanity meets professional enabling. I’m just glad no one lost a finger. We’re not afraid to ruin a comic book in the name of vanquishing all that is unholy." - Mike Carey, Writer
