Soulsearchers and Company #37

Soulsearchers and Company was a long-running independent comic book series created, written, and illustrated by Peter David, first appearing in the mid-1990s. The series was produced by Claypool Comics, an imprint known for its niche, humorous, and supernatural-themed titles that often subverted traditional superhero tropes. Issue number 37 represents a later installment in the series' tenure, during which the narrative focused on a ragtag group of paranormal investigators navigating eccentric and often satirical adventures within a modern-day fantasy setting.

The aesthetic of the series was defined by Peter David’s signature conversational writing style and character-driven humor, paired with an art style that leaned into the expressive, lighthearted traditions of independent nineties comics. The series served as a cult favorite for readers who enjoyed the blend of horror-comedy and meta-commentary, though as a Claypool publication, it remained a specialty item primarily distributed through direct-market comic shops. The creative intent was to maintain a consistent, lighthearted tone that poked fun at the serious nature of other occult-themed literature of the era.
