Uncle Alice Presents is a shock-rock, genre-bending comic book series,
graphic novel, and television pilot featuring Alice Cooper. Each issue
tells a story of the grim and macabre seen through the eyes of Uncle
Alice, the gatekeeper of the netherworld between heaven and hell. The
things Uncle Alice will share are just plain creepy…like, they really
creep him out.
