From the creator of "Marilyn" comes a fairly odd couple . . .
Meet Randall M. Doom and Henry Gloom!
Henry is an vigorous ten year old boy who loves to play drums and is greatly fascinated with magic and the supernatural; mostly because he has the unnatural ability to see and hear supernatural creatures like ghosts, goblins, and so on. But when Henry tries to tell his family and friends of their existence, they don't believe him. When his long lost uncle sets up shop in his hometown of Dreadsville, his mother encourages him to visit his shop since none of his other family members have no interest in his work, thinking it's all nonsense.
Randall is the proud owner of the antique shop known as "The Wandering Eye" where he sells magical items like crystal balls, shrunken heads, voodoo dolls, spell books, magic wands, etc. which has been in business for over 200 years. He's also a skilled guitarist and loves jam out now and then on his beloved guitar which he names Bessie. But for the most part, Randall takes his work seriously and becomes very hesitant when things don't go according to plan.
At first, Randall is aggravated by his presence as he messes around with his inventory, but is awestruck when he discovers a strange eye-shaped birthmark on the boy's right hand. He reveals that he also has the exact same birthmark on his left hand. After a moment in his studies, Randall reveals that the eye-shaped birthmark grants the two of them the ability to see supernatural beings and that Henry is the next in line to inherit his family's magic business and that he shall become Henry's caretaker who will teach him the ways of magic and sorcery.
Though the two of them don't always see eye to eye, Henry and Randall manage to keep the realms of reality and supernatural in balance and prevent utter global destruction . . . for the most part.
