Conan: The Frazetta Cover Series #4

Conan: The Frazetta Cover Series features Frank Frazetta’s stunning painting, “The Destroyer,” and
includes an adaptation of “The Hall of the Dead”-an unfinished tale
left by Robert E. Howard and fleshed out by Mike Mignola, Cary
Nord, and Dave Stewart.

Pursued by a small army, Conan heads for shelter in the ancient
ruins of a forgotten city, lured by a flimsy rumor of treasure.
Instead, he finds the fallen idols of twisted gods and a lot of
croaking creatures. Luckily, frogs are no match for an armed
Cimmerian . . . right? Conan soon finds himself battling a
slithering monstrosity and an onslaught of undead warriors!
Retainers to a lord long forgotten awaken to protect a treasure so
sizable even the dead can’t bear to see it stolen. Can a cunning
Cimmerian and a foe-turned-ally withstand the power of such dark
sorceries long enough to escape with some loot and their lives?

Solomon Kane: Death’s Black Riders #3

When you’re trapped inside an inn that’s been the scene of multiple
murders and is now surrounded by a pack of evil, gruesome demons,
the last thing you want to find out is that there’s something
equally gruesome trapped inside with you! Solomon Kane and a frightened priest may not live
through the night! One will rely on his guts and guile, while the
other will feel that consecrating the building with prayer will be
enough to protect them. The Cleft Skull tavern seems to attract the
deadliest sort of troubles Germany’s Black Forest can offer-and the
dangers found within and without the Cleft Skull threaten to
destroy our strange hero and his frightened, new companion! Scott
Allie (The Devil’s Footprints, Exurbia) expands upon Robert E. Howard’s classic Solomon Kane tale “Rattle
of Bones” and the unfinished “Death’s Black Riders” fragment, as
Mario Guevara (Lone Ranger and Tonto) and Juan Ferreyra (Rex Mundi, Small Gods) join him to illustrate another horror-tinged adventure.

* Covers by Darick Robertson!

“Solomon Kane is a welcome addition to the other excellent Howard
properties produced by Dark Horse. . . ” -Comics Bulletin

Alices Adventures in Wonderland: The POP Wonderland Series HC

Lewis Carroll’s universally known story of a little girl who falls
down a rabbit hole into a magical wonderland is given a new spin in
this lushly illustrated version of the classic tale.

Alice was sitting in a field reading when a white rabbit scampered
by. She didn’t know what was odder: that the rabbit was running on
its hind legs, wearing a jacket, and carrying a pocket watch, or
that it was talking, shouting, “I’m late! I’m late!” From the
moment she decided to follow the rabbit into his rabbit hole, Alice
was transported to a fantastical place called Wonderland, where
anything was possible. All of the familiar characters are here: the
Hatter, the March Hare, the Cheshire Cat, the Caterpillar, and the
wicked Queen of Hearts.

* A new line of children’s storybooks, the POP Wonderland series is
rendered in a friendly pastel palette, with engaging art that
brings familiar fairy tales to life in a
brand-new way.

* Parents know their children love anime and manga, and the art
style in these books will connect with moms and dads looking to get
their child a book drawn in a modern style, yet telling a story
they can identify with from their own childhoods.

Creepy Trading Cards

We have kicked open the crypt door with the archival hardcover
collections of macabre and unusual stories from Creepy, where the only “shaggy dog tale” to be found involves a werewolf
or two.

Long esteemed by comics and horror fans for their deft art and
twist endings, perhaps the single most stunning element of any
issue of Creepy was its cover. Starting out with a memorable first-issue cover by
Jack Davis, the magazine quickly found itself with none other than
Frank Frazetta as its main cover artist, which was a move everyone
found exciting. But Frazetta wasn’t the only great cover painter –
he was followed by a host of others, such as Richard Corben and Ken
Kelly, to name just two.

Another fun component to any issue of Creepy was the mail-order ads for odd merchandise from a variety of
sources. These goofy ads still give one a nostalgic chuckle.

Gantz Volume 9 TPB

Sometimes big things come in small packages. And our Gantz hero, Kei, might want to consider that in this volume of the
frantic and weird, angsty and sexy manga by Hiroya Oku.

Gantz’s cross between the real world of teenage complications and the
totally sci-fi concept of aliens occupying an unwitting Earth is a
hit with a cross section of comics and manga readers. Each volume
brings new challenges and frustrations, and plenty of sex and
violence.

* Gantz has proven to be one of the most popular adult anime in recent
years, with over 190,000 copies sold in the U.S. alone!

* Each volume of Gantz comes shrink-wrapped and carries an 18+ content advisory.
