From critically acclaimed authors and artistic visionaries, to blockbuster properties and chart-topping media, the prospects shine from DBD’s impressive array of publishers! With Nickelodeon’s The Legend of Korra — the animated follow-up to the wildly popular Avatar: The Last Airbender — topping the rating’s charts, Dark Horse further taps into this thriving property with Avatar: The Last Airbender Volume 2 — The Promise Parts 2 & 3. And, in the wake of Dark Horse’s successful re-launch of the Buffy The Vampire Slayer franchise with Season 8, Joss Whedon takes the Scoobies to frightening new heights with Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 9 Volume 1: Freefall. Also, experience the Star Wars of 25,000 years ago in Dawn of the Jedi Volume 1: Force Storm and enter the post-apocalyptic nightmare world of master musician Tom Morello in Orchid Volume 1. IDW drags you (kicking & screaming) back into a brutal, gritty world of criminals, thugs, and grifters in The Hunter, Darwyn Cooke’s third installment of the award-winning graphic adaptation of Richard Stark’s Parker series. Chris Ryall’s Road Rage paves the way to asphalt-ridden terror, adapting acclaimed novelists Joe Hill and Stephen King’s first collaborative venture, Throttle, paying tribute to Richard Matheson’s classic tales, Duel. And, James O’Barr returns to his tale of grief, reincarnation, and long-sought vengeance with The Crow Midnight Legends Volume 1: Dead Time. Image’s The Walking Dead shambles on, further breathing life into the horror genre with Volume 16 of Robert Kirkman’s zombie opus. Also, artist Ben Templesmith grabs you by the throat with Choker Volume 1, as a bitter ex-cop is thrust back into Shotgun City’s despicable underworld, and Jackie Estacado tries (and fails) to puts his house in order in the final volume of Image/Top Cow’s The Darkness: Origins Volume 4. Acclaimed filmmaker Barry Sonnenfeld (Men In Black) and writer extraordinaire Grant Morrison chronicle a prehistoric clash with an extraterrestrial twist in Dynamite Entertainment’s Dinosaurs Vs. Aliens. Scott Pilgrim’s Precious Little Life is turned upside-down in a brand-new, remastered, full-color edition of Oni Press and Bryan Lee O’Malley’s epic tale of dueling bands, sociopathic ex’s, and unrequited love. Plus, it’s twisted teenage angst in Antarctic Press’ Zombie Kid Diaries Volumes 1 & 2, Top Shelf Publishing and Jeff Lemire (Essex County) take us deep into the dark, turbulent waters of the human psyche in The Underwater Welder, and Green Ronin navigates the perilous waters of Westeros’ politics and intrigue with the A Game of Thrones Edition of A Song of Ice & Fire RPG. Be it the latest craze, in vogue, or a la mode, if it’s trending in 2012 you’ll find it in DBD’s Summer-Fall catalog! Wear it well!

It follows the adventures of the title character and his companions — Dale Arden and Dr. Zarkov — as they leave Earth to discover the source of meteors that are threatening the planet, and get waylaid on the planet Mongo, where they battle the evil Ming the Merciless. The three Earthlings encounter one strange race after another, from the water-breathing Shark-Men of the Undersea Kingdom, to the winged Hawkmen, to the ferocious Tusk-Men. All the while, Flash finds himself in the arms of one beautiful woman after another — much to Dale Arden’s chagrin. • Flash Gordon gained greater fame through several KEY SELLING POINTS: • • film serials in 1936 starring Buster Crabbe in the lead role. The serial followed the progression of the strip closely and was one of the primary inspirations for Star Wars many years later. The Flash Gordon strip has been the basis for films for over seventy years, with the latest airing in 2008. Jungle Jim was created as a strip topper for Flash Gordon, and followed the life of Jim Bradley, who fought pirates, slave traders, and assorted villains in the exotic Southeast Asia of the 1930s. This neglected Raymond classic also features Jim’s native cohort Kolu and femme fatale Lille DeVrille. Raymond illustrated both series from 1934 through 1944.

Cartoonist Mike Rosen has adapted this warm and uplifting tome which fueled a wave of witch-hunting that lasted for nearly two centuries and cost nearly 60,000 people (mostly women) their lives. The adaptation’s tongue-in-cheek tone exposes a kind of paranoid thinking which exists to this day in some circles and answeres all of those nagging eternal questions; Do witches kill newborn babies for use in their rituals? Can they turn men into beasts? Can they steal mens’ penises, collecting them in great numbers, to hide in, say, a bird’s nest up in a tree, where they then move around like squiggly phallic snakes and eat corn and oats? Finally, most importantly, do witches have sexual relations with devils? How do they have sexual relations with devils? And could we hear some more about these sexual relations with devils?

Award-winning graphic novelist Eddie Campbell (From Hell, Alec) presents a fascinating journey into the wilderness of personal finance. With his trademark blend of research, anecdote, autobiography, and fantasy, Campbell explores how money underwrites human relationships, flowing all around us like the air we breathe — or the water we drown in. The result is a whimsical graphic essay, deeply grounded in Eddie’s personal experiences with “the lovely horrible stuff,” ranging from the imaginary wealth of Ponzi schemes and television pilots to the all-too-tangible stone currency of the Micronesian island of Yap. In a world where drawing corporate superheroes requires literally transforming oneself into a corporation (which is kept in a shoebox under the bed), we are in strange territory, indeed.

In the world of phone phreaks, hackers, and scammers, he’s a legend. His exploits are hotly debated: could he really get free long-distance calls by whistling into a pay phone? Did his video-game piracy scheme accidentally trigger the first computer virus? And did he really dodge the FBI by using their own wiretapping software against them? Is he even a real person? And if he’s ever caught, what would happen to a geek like him in federal prison? Inspired by the incredible stories of real-life hackers, Wizzygig is the thrilling tale of a master manipulator — his journey from precocious child scammer to federally-wanted fugitive, and beyond. In a world transformed by social networks and data leaks, Ed Piskor’s debut graphic novel reminds us how much power can rest in the hands of an audacious kid with a keyboard. DIY releases of chapters of Wizzygig have already garnered substantial accolades and a cult fan base, and Top Shelf is eager to share this book with the world. “Extremely pleasurable...

But it wasn’t the color of his skin which made him such a significant figure in the history of the medium — it was his innate ability to draw gorgeous, exciting women and handsome, dynamic men in a fluid, graceful style. Imagine Dave Stevens or Adam Hughes working in the ’40s, drawing a new story every month, and you’ll have a good idea of Matt Baker’s place in the industry throughout his career. Yet, few of today’s comic book fans know of the artist or his work, because he died in 1959 at the young age of 38, just as the Silver Age of Comics was blossoming and bringing in a new generation of readers. Edited by Jim Amash and Eric Nolen-Weathington, Matt Baker: The Art of Glamour presents an impressive career cut tragically short. It features a wealth of essays, interviews with Baker’s friends, family, and co-workers, and a treasure trove of his finest artwork, including several complete stories, at last giving the wonderfully talented artist his full due.

Yet despite being the oldest child, Luma gets little respect — perhaps due to her half-elven heritage. When a job gone wrong lands Luma in the fearsome prison called the Hells, it’s only the start of Luma’s problems. For a new web of bloody power politics is growing in Magnimar, and it may be that those Luma trusts most have become her deadliest enemies! From visionary game designer and author Robin D. Laws comes a new urban fantasy adventure of murder, betrayal, and political intrigue set in the award-winning world of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. • Blood of the City is the tenth novel in the new Pathfinder Tales KEY SELLING POINTS: fiction line. JUL-DEC 2012 POWERS • Albert Johannson lives off the grid. He’s forgotten more than he remembers about his past, but those snippets he’s retained tell him two things: he’s lived a long, looong time and he doesn’t trust anyone, particularly gods. He’s not any too fond of demons either, particularly the one that materializes in his kitchen wanting to hire him for a special mission. It’s as deadly to cross a demon as to deal with him, so Albert reluctantly agrees to investigate, putting him in the path of a prickly arson detective named Melissa el Hajj with trust issues of her own. Clashing at a crime scene, they uncover a broken seal that seems ancient enough to have been forged by Solomon himself. The seal cries out to Albert that he must mend it or something dark and dire will happen. Albert, who has a special affinity for metal, must first discover exactly what that will do to his kind — and he’s only just beginning to understand who and what he really is.

TEMPTING THE GODS: THE SELECTED STORIES OF TANITH LEE VOLUME 1 • Tempting the Gods collects some of Tanith Lee’s fiction from the late 80s to the present, from a variety of venues (Asimovs’, Weird Tales, and Realms of Fantasy). They range in tone from the dark (“Cain”) and Arthurian Legend (“The Kingdoms of the Air”), to Arabian Nights adventure (“These Beasts”) and the just plain weird (“Tiger I”). All stories feature Lee’s carefully crafted language, tight plotting, vivid imagination, and matchless evocation of atmosphere. Not all tales are dark — there’s even some humor, such as the new to this collection “God and the Pig.” Like Bradbury and Vance, Lee is a unique stylist. This collection — the first part of a two part series — is a perfect introduction to her work, some of the best writing in the weird fiction category. JUL-DEC 2012 THE MYSTERIOUS WU FANG: THE CASE OF THE SUICIDE TOMB • The ancient Indian tomb had been sealed for a thousand years; its discovery was an archaeological find.

THE THRILL BOOK, SEPT. 1, 1919 • The Thrill Book is a legendary magazine, one of the holy grails of pulp collecting. Original copies sell for thousands of dollars — if you can find them. Running for sixteen issues in 1919, it was a magazine of “strange, bizzare, occult, mysterious tales,” but not quite a fantastic-fiction magazine, mixing various types of adventure stories with often outstanding fantasy, horror, and science fiction by Murray Leinster, Seabury Quinn, Francis Stevens, Perley Moore Sheehan, Tod Robbins, Edward Lucas White, Greye La Spina, and other giants of the pulp era. While sheer scarcity may have once added something to the lustre of The Thrill Book, now that an issue is finally made available at an affordable price, the reader may appreciate that this truly was a pioneering — and supremely entertaining — publication.

PATHFINDER ADVENTURE PATH: SHATTERED STAR PART 2 - CURSE OF THE LADY’S LIGHT • Varisia’s newest heroes have stumbled across a powerful relic from the • JUL-DEC 2012 ancient empire of Thassilon — yet the artifact has been sundered into seven fragments. The third of these fragments lies in the swampy Mushfens south of the city of Magnimar, hidden within an ancient, towering lighthouse known as the Lady’s Light. With squabbling boggards, troglodytes, and other swamp monsters dwelling in the region around the Light, approaching the ruins will require either stealth or bravado. But the threats posed by slimy and scaly humanoids pales in comparison to the exiled Gray Maidens who have claimed the interior of the Light as their new headquarters — or to the sinister curse that afflicts the powerful, ancient caretaker of the ruin. Continuing the Shattered Star Adventure Path, Curse of the Lady’s Light is a Pathfinder Roleplaying Game adventure for 4th-level characters. This volume offers additional details on the Mushfens swamps of Varisia and a thorough investigation of the Gray Maidens. New monsters fill the Pathfinder Bestiary, while Bill Ward’s Pathfinder Journal fiction explores the seedy underbelly of the scoundrel haven of Riddleport!
