JULY-DECEMBER 2011 HIGHLIGHTS
JULY - DECEMBER 2011 CATALOG
Welcome to the DBD
New Releases 2011 Catalog!
2010 was an amazing year for graphic novels in terms of both
quality and sales, and with 2011 in full swing, we’re looking to
continue the trend!
DBD proudly represents over 50 comic book, graphic novel, and pop
culture publishers, and in this catalog you’ll find the items being released in the second half
of this year.
Dark Horse brings the real-life story behind the investigation and apprehension of one of
the country’s worst serial killers with Green River Killer: A True Detective Story, while
making manga fans happy with Gate 7, a brand-new series from CLAMP. Plus, the all-ages
action continues with new volumes in the Star Wars Adventures and Star Wars: Clone
Wars series.
With the new Transformers sequel hitting theaters this summer, interest in the shape-shifting
robots will be high, and IDW helps fill that need with the Transformers: Dark of the Moon
prequels and adaptation. They also expand their range – and readers’ knowledge – with
the Book of Extreme Facts, featuring lessons not found in most textbooks.
Image’s award-winning Walking Dead returns, along with the superheroism of Invincible,
while 27: First Set investigates the mystery of why so many good musicians don’t see
age 28.
Dynamite revives another classic pulp character for the modern age with their Warlord of
Mars, while bringing more of Charlaine Harris’ macabre tales to comics with the second
volume of the Grave Sight series. The Wimpy Kid phenomenon takes a turn for the undead
with Antarctic Press’ Diary of a Zombie Kid, while Zenescope’s imprint Silver Dragon
continues its line of Discovery Channel graphic novels with Dinosaurs and Prehistoric
Predators.
This is proving to be a great time to be a fan of graphic novels, and these releases will help
you not only satisfy your current customers, but help entice new ones as well.
All my best,

AMNESIA
• One of the most feared terror attack scenarios involves the det-
onation of a weapon that generates a powerful electromagnetic
pulse (EMP) that immediately renders power circuits, computers, even automobiles useless. But what if a weapon was discharged that, in addition to all the above, also erased people’s
memories? Would mankind, given a fresh start, continue on its
path to self-destruction? Or would it, free of its preconceptions,
usher in a new age of peace? Amnesia explores what might happen if someone were to push the restart button on the human race.
KAGAGI: THE RAVEN
• Matthew Carver is an average 16-year-old kid dealing with normal teenage stuff: high school drama, teenage angst, and a huge
crush. Or, at least, he was yesterday. Today he found out that he
has inherited an ancient power and responsibility — the age-old
evil known as the Windigo has returned, and Matthew Carver
must defeat it! He is Kagagi: The Raven!
JUL-DEC 2011
• Vampires, Aliens, Ghosts and Zombies… BEWARE! There’s a
new hero in town and his name is Ralph Filmore! Ralph Filmore
is just your average, everyday 13-year-old Paranormal
Investigator. He may be the youngest, and possibly the world’s
greatest paranormal private eye. Ralph hunts down and challenges all things strange and bizarre on a daily basis. He unwittingly solves “out of this world” mysteries (literally). But he’s
still the shortest kid in the 8th grade, still gets picked on by bullies, and still has to be in bed by 9 PM. More often than not,
Ralph’s serious obsession for paranormal phenomena gets him
into heaps of trouble. With his best friends and partners in slime,
Booker and Tav, his trusty robotic supercomputer Z, and his
ghostly canine companion Specter, Ralph protects the people of
Earth from extraterrestrial and supernatural threats.
AWAKENINGS GN
• Set in the year 2062, New York City detective Spencer Straight
is hot on the trail of a gruesome serial killer with a peculiar
trademark, only to find himself on the run when every lead
points to the one person he never would have suspected —himself! Forced underground, Spencer discovers a secretive presence may be the culprit behind the seemingly senseless killings.
A force many have tried to stop without success. A force that’s
chosen its next victim: Spencer’s son!
BLAM!
• Elon Soloman started cancer treatment and soon began to see
invisible, evil creatures called Echos. How does a man struggle
with helping others while dealing with his own mortality?

• Killing Machine tells the tale of Franklyn J. Hurt, an undercover
agent for the Global Crime Task Force sent to infiltrate the criminal organization known as The Syndicate Six. When his cover
is blown, his wife taken, and daughter murdered before his eyes,
Frank wakes up barely a man, a torso with an unrecognizable
face, hanging in a warehouse and used as an example for those
who betray The Syndicate Six. However, Frank is rescued by
Special Forces and taken to a secret installation where in its
depths a massive facility of alien technology awaits. There Frank
is given the bionic treatment! After rejecting his new duties,
Frank seizes an opportunity to escape and go rogue to find his
missing wife and seek revenge for the murder of his daughter
using a new body that gives him the means to track down and
destroy the killers!
• Kord & Harley is a supernatural buddy book set in the here and
now. The Catholic church has set up a secret order to deal with
demonic activity and possession. Led by Father Merrick, a man
with a long, secretive past and his ever-watchful assistant, Sister
Margaret Day, together they oversee and advise their unique
charges: Kord, an 11th century stone golem that has converted
from the Kabbalic teachings to Catholicism, and Harley, a
teenaged genetic experiment wherein scientists spliced human
DNA with that of several reptiles. The first seven-issue story arc
pits the unlikely duo against the demonic forces of Hell —
namely, the Seven Deadly Sins!
MWUMBA
• Mwumba is the story about a little girl named Cassandra, the ruler
of the jungle Mwumba. Everything in Cassandra’s world centers
on her and that’s just the way she likes it! For the first time, a
mysterious monster has come into her jungle and is not only
breaking sacred Mwumban law by eating vegetables, but worse
yet, is taking all of the attention that rightfully belongs to her!
JUL-DEC 2011
• Theophilus embodies the archetypal noble warrior. When the
•
lines are clear in a just cause, he fights as your greatest champion. But, life rarely remains clear. Theophilus refuses to
believe that breeding and sacrificing innocent children is necessary for his race’s survival. Unfortunately, his president and
former military colleagues believe otherwise. And both sides
are about to put the force of their convictions to the ultimate
test!
Scionic tells an epic tale about a father figure and the children
who look up to him. It explores the moral lines in war that any
human society might cross when it feels under constant threat.
THE WINGMAN GN
• Wingman follows the adventures of two best friends, Hank and
Max, whose main mission in life is picking up women. Hank,
more confident and good looking than Max, is the stud of the
two, while Max is mostly relegated to wingman status. One day,
lightning (literally) strikes and alters Hank’s chemistry such that
he’s no longer able to pick up women. However, women now
find any man within a few feet of Hank irresistible — thus, Max
instantly goes from Wingman to Cassanova!
TROUT GN
• Trout is the story of a nine-year-old boy — and the monster sent
to protect him! It centers on a virus created to eradicate the
monster gene, and has the power to turn man to monster, and
monster to man. Under attack, the scientist who created this
Final Solution injects it into his son in order to hide it. Now,
everyone wants it and will do anything to get their hands on it!

• Nelson Mandela of South Africa is one of the most important

under European control, but he chose a different route. He
became a successful lawyer, political activist, national leader,
fugitive guerrilla, and finally a prisoner of South Africa’s brutal
white supremacist apartheid regime. After 25 years in prison,
Mandela walked free to become the first black president in
South Africa’s first multi-racial election. He has since gone on
to become a beloved international figure, like a 90-year-old

even finds a small circle of friends. All too soon, her world is
again turned upside down when one of them is murdered. When
a handsome, young Otherseer from the castle promises to teach
her, she eagerly embraces the prospects of luxury beyond what
she can imagine and safety from a killer who stalks girls by
night. Little does she know that he will soon draw her into a
web of murder, treachery, and obsessive desire that will threaten the people and land she holds dear, and that she will soon
learn the harshest of lessons: that being able to predict the future
has nothing to do with being able to prevent it.

PISTOL-WHIPPED: THE BEST
OF CRIME DOES NOT PAY
Gangsters, kidnappers, maniacal killers, and thugs of all
stripes had their lurid stories recounted in Crime Does
Not Pay, a seminal forties comic-book series. Bob
Wood, its editor, brutally murdered his girlfriend, did
prison time, and was then murdered himself! This fascinating sidebar is described in an essay by cartoonist,
historian, and co-editor Denis Kitchen.
Featuring thrilling, brutal tales and despicable characters, Crime Does Not Pay enthralled a nation. With a
claimed readership of over five million, it was the most
popular comic book of its day. The series was a favorite
target of Dr. Fredric Wertham and other censors and is
partially responsible for the creation of the Comics
Code Authority, yet it was an inspiration for Harvey
Kurtzman’s reality-based EC Comics. See why this
series was revered and reviled!

moment of death to fight aliens living on earth, but
unseen by humanity. The battles seemed to take place
outside of human sight. Our reluctant hero, Kei, has
lived through many of these battles, but now something
strange is happening. People can see the Gantz and their
alien adversaries! Will the civilians believe what they
see, or are their lives so full of media that they think it’s
just fantastic 3-D entertainment? With a recently
released live-action film in Japan, Gantz is a series on a
serious upswing, with a whole lot of story still to come.

and other distractions to better reveal the delicious
details that are usually hidden from admiring eyes. And,
as fans have come to expect from the gentleman genius
behind the brush, Silke adorns his intoxicating imagery
with sage insight and cunning wit, as he recounts his
long and exceedingly happy career flirting with fine art
and foxy women.

But she can’t abandon the mission or the colony that the

and Lord Daiman!

Axe Cop isn’t an ordinary cop—in fact, he might not
even be a “real” cop, at least according to the authorities! But he’s the best crime-fighter the world has ever
known, thanks to his amazing team of partners—
Dinosaur Soldier, Sockarang, and his pet T. rex, Wexter!
Since its online debut in January of 2010, this hilarious
comic-book series has exploded with popularity and
critical acclaim, winning over readers and reviewers
with every turn of the page.
But discerning comics fans and fancy news blogs aren’t
the only ones to take notice of Axe Cop; now the socalled “real” police know about him, too. And if there’s
one thing police don’t like, it’s a guy with an axe who’s
better than they are at catching and dispatching criminals! Now Axe Cop and his partner Dinosaur Soldier
are being treated like bad guys, not only by the police,
but by the president and the army, too! But when a pair
of psychic brothers barge in from outer space and turn
the army into bad guys, who gets the call to set things
right? Axe Cop!
• Upon its debut as a webcomic, Axe Cop was instantly
hailed by the entertainment press as a hit!

GREEN RIVER KILLER:
A TRUE DETECTIVE STORY
Acclaimed entertainment writer Jeff Jensen presents the
ultimate insider’s account of America’s most prolific
serial killer in Green River Killer: A Detective Story.
In 1984, finding the murderer of dozens of women

at least forty-eight, the case was left in the hands of a

with DNA technology, Jensen spent 180 days
interviewing Gary Leon Ridgway in an effort to learn

with evil that proved as disturbing and surreal as can
be imagined.

a look of intense melancholy upon his face. Finding his heart
unexpectedly moved, Ban discovers that sometimes irritation
can be a symptom of something besides anger, but what is it?

EDGE OF DOOM GN
• Collecting EVERY issue of the hit 90s indy comic book CreeD
into one massive volume, CreeD: Omnichronos tells the story
of an outcast teenage boy... but this is no ordinary boy. You see,
Mark Farley can travel to another world — a dreamworld where
he once had the power to create anything he could imagine. In
reality, he is powerless, and not even really very well liked. But
in this other dimension he faces off against his most sinister of
dark nightmarish demons as the powerful CREED! Morphing
dreamfrog dragons as protectors, talking trees, and floating
islands await him, but at the center of it all lies a massive hurricane of a VOID that threatens to destroy both the dreamworld
AND reality. Only the true creator of the Dreamworld can save
both... but not if he gets caught napping in class again!
• Discover
the true meaning of terror as fright-masters Steve
Niles and Kelley Jones bring you five frightening tales of stark
raving horror! In one tale we watch a very sad and lonely man
reaching the end of his rope, only to discover he’s in way deeper
than he ever imagined. It seems there’s an army of little demons
in his garden and he’s their next sacrifice! Or another, of a brave
space explorer left to roam a strange planet all alone as a result
of an engine malfunction, with his only companion, a weather
droid. And yet another, as we witness a husband & wife who
thought the toughest challenge before them was their impending
divorce, until a terrible car “accident” makes them unwitting
subjects in a bizarre scientific experiment.

Milton Arthur Caniff, the creator of Terry and the Pirates, Male Call,

reprinted, until now, the immense talent behind them has never been

Produced with full access to Caniff’s extensive personal archives at The

oversized book reproduces from the original artwork hundreds of
comics, illustrations, pencil sketches, and drawings — including many
not previously reprinted. In addition to the three famous comic strips,
represented are his childhood drawings, the beginnings of his career as
a newspaper cartoonist, his significant contributions to the 1940s war
effort, as well as his continuing relationship with the Air Force, Boy
Scouts, and other organizations.

public, to net over $100 million for himself. And it all began
with a hot dog stand, as Jonas relates in this effervescent
account of how he became the milionaire nextdoor.

When the Internet bubble burst and the smoke cleared, few of

something to do with Jonas. His quirky personality is anything

• As popular and influential as Bram Stoker’s classic
tale of nocturnal menace is, this 1897 novel did not
invent vampire fiction, nor was it alone in feeding the
Gothic fantasies of the Victorian period. IDW
Publishing presents an expertly selected menu of outstanding vampire stories that either informed or benefited from Bram Stoker’s hugely popular creation.
These eerie tales of the undead — some 22 in all —
form the core cannon of classic vampire literature.
Chosen and introduced by celebrated literary scholar
and author Leslie S. Klinger (The New Annotated
Dracula), with illustrations by an array of noted horror artists, In the Shadow of Dracula brings to adventuresome readers stories of nocturnal terror that have
lived in Stoker’s shadow for too long. Authors
include M.R. James, Algernon Blackwood, and Bram
Stoker himself. Included are what’s considered the
first true vampire story 1816, as well the classic
novella Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu, the first vampire tale with a lesbian theme (it’s been adapted to
comics and film several times), and “The Family of
the Vourdalak” by Aleksei Tolstoy (he’s the cousin of
the famous one), which gave Boris Karloff one of his

• Fed up with receiving poorly-written “Twilight” knockoffs, edi-
tor Shannon Wade did what any reasonable person would: she
started killing the worst of the would-be authors sending them
to her! Meanwhile, a stuttering, overweight vampire has targeted those who portray vampires in a light he deems unrealistic.
Not exactly novel but terribly graphic, Done To Death follows
Andy and Shannon’s paths towards a collision as darkly funny
as it is ridiculously violent.
• The concluding volume to the first major story arc in IDW’s
critically acclaimed relaunch of the G.I. JOE mythos! Snake
Eyes and Agent Helix battle alone in a snake pit of COBRA
agents deep in the heart of the arctic. The Baroness and Destro
finish their work on the M.A.S.S. Device, making COBRA a
dominant force on Earth. And General Hawk, Duke, and
Scarlett battle for their lives in the final chapter of M.A.S.S.

times are upon us, but to be honest, Heaven and Hell have lost
all enthusiasm for anything resembling a Final Judgment.
Earth’s guardian angel, in an act of cosmic negligence, selects
Golly Munhollen, part-time race car driver, part-time carny, and
full-time dumbass to become humanity’s defender against the
remaining elements of Hell still bent on starting some trouble
come Judgment Day. By day Golly repairs rides on the midway,
by night he stumbles ass-backwards into the weird menaces that
seem to pop up in every town on the carnival’s tour. Golly is
aided in his quest by his carny pals: Vaughn, the 6’6” tattooed
man; Pig, former freak show fat lady turned strong woman;
Miguel, the genius, dog-faced boy-acrobat; and Satan, former
monarch of Hell now down on his luck and working the midway for cigarette money.
Catching Hell collects the first five issues of the critically
acclaimed, groundbreaking Image series, and includes the tale
of Golly’s origin and his subsequent hapless encounters with a
preacher-turned-werehog and a trailer park stalking vampire.
It’s southern-fried horror fat-packed with high-octane adventure
and low-brow humor!

Two takes place in the psychedelic daze of
Swinging London during 1969, a place where Tadukic Acid
Diethylamide 26 is the drug of choice, and where different

accompaniment of sit-ins and sitars. The vicious gangster
bosses of London’s East End find themselves brought into

of psychological disintegration and a developing taste for
Satanism. Alerted to a threat concerning the same magic
order that she and her colleagues were investigating during
1910, a thoroughly modern Mina Murray and her dwindling
league of comrades attempt to navigate the perilous rapids
of London’s hippy and criminal subculture, as well as the

The Forsaken Isles are on the brink of revolution.
Three individuals are about to push it over the edge
and trigger events that will lead to a final showdown
between ancient forces and the new overlords of the
land. Spaeth Dobrin is destined to life as a ritual healer — but as the dhotamar of the tiny, isolated island of
Yora, she will be caught in a perpetual bond between
herself and the people she has cured. Is it slavery, or is
it love? Meanwhile, Harg, the troubled and rebellious
veteran, returns to find his home transformed by conquest. And Nathaway, the well-intentioned imperialist,
arrives to teach Spaeth’s people “civilization,” only to
become an explorer in the strange realm of the
Forsakens. These two men will propel Spaeth into a
vortex of war, temptation, and — just possibly — freedom!

• Darrin’s life has been going downhill ever since his
girlfriend Bridget walked out on him without a word
of explanation six months ago. Soon after losing her,
he lost his job, and his car, and eventually his enthusiasm for life. He can’t imagine things getting worse
— until he sees Bridget again, for the first time since
she walked out, just moments before she leaps to her
death from a bridge. In his quest to find out why
Bridget took her own life, he encounters a depressive
(and possibly immortal) cult leader; a man with a car
that can drive out of this world and into others; a
beautiful psychotic with a chrome shotgun; and a
bridge that, maybe, leads to heaven. Darrin’s journey
leads him into a place called the Briarpatch, which is
either the crawlspace of the universe, or a series of
ambitious building projects abandoned by god, or a
tangle of alternative universes, depending on who
you ask. Somewhere in that disorderly snarl of
worlds, he hopes to find Bridget again... or at least a

THE BOOK OF CTHULHU
• The Cthulhu Mythos is one of the 20th century’s
most singularly recognizable literary creations.
Initially created by H. P. Lovecraft and a group of his
amorphous contemporaries (the so-called “Lovecraft
Circle”), The Cthulhu Mythos story cycle has taken
on a convoluted, cyclopean life of its own. Some of
the most prodigious writers of the 20th century, and
some of the most astounding writers of the 21st century have planted their seeds in this fertile soil. The
Book of Cthulhu harvests the weirdest and most corpulent crop of these modern mythos tales. From
weird fiction masters to enigmatic rising stars, The
Book of Cthulhu demonstrates how Mythos fiction
has been a major cultural meme throughout the 20th
century, and how this type of story is still salient, and
terribly powerful today.

NIGHT SHADE BOOKS
THE PANAMA LAUGH
• Ex-mercenary,
pirate, and gun-runner Dante Bogart
knows he’s screwed the pooch after he hands one of his
shady employers a biological weapon that made the
dead rise from their graves, laugh like hyenas, and feast
upon the living. Dante tried to blow the whistle via a
tell-all video that went viral — but that was before the
black ops boys deep-sixed him at a secret interrogation
site on the Panama-Colombia border. When Dante
wakes up in the jungle with the five intervening years
missing from his memory, he knows he’s got to do
something about the laughing sickness that has caused a
world-wide slaughter. The resulting journey leads him
across the nightmare that was the Panama Canal, around
Cape Horn in a hijacked nuclear warship, to San
Francisco’s mission district, where a crew of survivalist
hackers have holed up in the pseudo-Moorish-castle
turned porn-studio known as The Armory. This mixed
band of anti-social rejects has taken Dante’s whistle
blowing video as an underground gospel, leading the
fight against the laughing corpses and the corporate
stooges who’ve tried to profit from the slaughter. Can
Dante find redemption and save civilization?

HEART OF IRON
• In a Russia where the Decembrists’ rebellion was suc-
cessful and the Trans-Siberian railroad was completed
before 1854, Sasha Trubetskaya wants nothing more
than to have a decent debut ball in St. Petersburg. But
her aunt’s feud with the emperor lands Sasha at university, where she becomes one of its first female students — an experiment, she suspects, designed more
to prove female unsuitability for such pursuits than
offer them education. The pressure intensifies when
Sasha’s only friends — Chinese students — start disappearing, and she begins to realize that her new
British companion, Jack, has bigger secrets than she
can imagine! Sasha and Jack find themselves trying to
stop a war brewing between the three empires. The
only place they can turn to for help is the Heavenly
Kingdom of Great Peace, newly founded by the
Taiping rebels. Pursued by the terrifying Dame
Florence Nightingale of the British Secret Service,
Sasha and Jack escape across Siberia via train to
China. Sasha discovers that Jack is not quite the person she thought he was...but then again, neither is she.

A savvy scientist, a handsome dreadlocked time-traveler, an ancient shaman, a noble Mayan couple, a

• Magic has suffused the Inner Sea region for thou-
sands of years. This Pathfinder sourcebook takes a
detailed look at the magical traditions of the Inner
Sea, including rules for magic variants (from hideous
fleshwarping rituals to the wild and unpredictable
surges of primal magic), examinations of how magic
is taught (be it in schools, temples, guilds, or secret
societies), and how the spellcasters of the region
have chosen to specialize in various forms of magic.
Additionally, this book presents two, new oracle
mysteries, 18 new archetypes for spellcasting classes, a pair of prestige classes (the cypher mage and the
divine scion), and a wide selection of unique, unusual, and exciting new spells for all who would seek to
master the art of magic.

THE FEAST OF RAVENMOOR
• Hidden away in the remote uplands of Varisia, the

remote village of Ravenmoor has never been eager to
attract visitors. The citizens of Ravenmoor have their
own ways, their own traditions, their own methods of
celebrating the turn of seasons. But when a tax collector vanishes on a trip into the remote town to collect on several years of taxes that have, apparently,
slipped through the cracks, Ravenmoor suddenly
becomes a spotlight of attention. What strange surprises await those chosen to investigate the tax collector’s disappearances, and does the vanishing have
anything to do with Ravenmoor’s upcoming seasonal feast?
Feast of Ravenmoor is a horror/mystery-themed
Pathfinder Module for 3rd-level characters, and also
features a brand-new monster and a regional
