Kolchak: The Night Stalker is an American television series that aired on ABC during the 1974 – 1975 season. Kolchak: The Night Stalker was created by Jeff Rice. It featured a fictional Chicago newspaper reporter – Carl Kolchak, played by Darren McGavin – who investigated mysterious crimes with unlikely causes, particularly those that law enforcement authorities would not follow up. These often involved the supernatural or science fiction, including fantastic creatures. The series was preceded by two television movies, The Night Stalker (1972) and The Night Strangler (1973). Although the series lasted only a single season, it garnered a world-wide fan following and is considered a cult classic in horror television. Subsequent novels and comic books later followed. And it later influenced the creation of the X-Files, which is in the same vein as Kolchak: The Night Stalker.

In 2002, Moonstone began publishing Prestige Format one-shots that pick up where the television show left off in 1975. Moonstone continues the creepy horror anthology that is: “Kolchak: The Night Stalker” in various comic book related projects. Cue the “Kolchak: The Night Stalker” intro theme music and be prepared to get totally spooked out…

And Now, Moonstone Presents, “Kolchak: Night Stalker – Lambs to the Slaughter”, This book tells an old story: wide-eyed, hopeful teens come to Hollywood in pursuit of their dreams of fame and fortune, and they’re led astray and eaten alive. What a string of seemingly typical missing persons cases are far more than they appear to be, and the tale is actually older than the usual Tinsel Town sob story. It’s ancient. Mythological, even… and Carl Kolchak is in dangerously deep… all to get the story.

Story/Spoilers
Investigating a spate of missing teenagers, Kolchak learns of a possible connection with wealthy businessman Marcus Polk. But his attempts to gain information are continually met with resistance, and he is roughed up by Polk’s heavies. Bruised and battered, Kolchak meets Theresa Termini, a hospital receptionist; using Theresa’s computer skills they gain access to Polk’s personal files, which reveal his involvement in a project concerning genetic manipulation. Kolchak realises that the abducted youths are being sacrificed to a special clone that Polk has financed. Breaking into the disused prison where the clone is being kept Kolchak discovers that the creature is a man-made Minotaur – and then finds himself in the role of Theseus…
