Rourke the Hexbuster is a horror-fantasy series of graphic novels set in Ireland, and teeming with demons, magic, witches, and other supernatural horrors. Rourke, the protagonist, is a dark antihero created in the great mind of Italian writer Federico Memola. He is a troubled, stubborn, and often inebriated hero who shoulders a great burden - he has the ability to take on curses bestowed upon others onto himself, so that he might save the victims from their suffering. It is good business, but he also has to look after his young daughter, Kylie. Or rather, she has to look after him. In the first episode, Moon Worshippers, the dysfunctional pair trailblazes through Ireland to the town of Kilkenny, to help Fiona: a young girl hit by a curse. Unfortunately, a mysterious ecclesiastical sect is also interested in Fiona for unknown reasons.
