GRAPHIC NOVELS & TRADE PAPERBACKS
We’re halfway through another exciting year ripe with promise and prosperity! 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!
Enjoy!,

music superstar Trace Adkins is “Luke
McBain”, a man who returns to his small Southern
hometown after 14 years in prison for a crime he did
not commit. Luke’s brother, Paul, is running the
McBain family business that controls the town.
Paul’s made himself rich, but local shops have closed
and jobs are gone; people are angry and scared. And
no one can do anything to stop it! Except Luke, the
only one who knows Paul’s secret! Reunited with his
beautiful ex-love, Callie, Luke McBain does what
he’s always done — make the hard choices and fight
for what’s right — even if it means he may go back
to prison! Introducing an action hero who won’t stop
until the job gets done, Luke McBain pits brother
against brother for the soul of an American small
town.

Now, one year later, the merciless aliens have crushed the planet’s armed forces and annihilated all freedom fighters. All but
one: SGT Coleman is Earth’s last hope. If he can find Sf-92 then
maybe, just maybe, he can use it against the alien conquerors
and win mankind’s freedom. His search brings him to Clay

subjugation by an alien army. Together with the unlikely allies

Coleman sets out to find Sf-92 before the Earth’s otherworldly
overlords, save mankind, and drink a few cold ones along the
way!

• A group of high school outcasts, each alienated for a different
reason, are thrown together as the staff of the school paper. But
these kids just happen to live in Creepsville: a small retroAmerican town where monsters, humans, aliens, superheroes,
robots, and mad scientists all live and work together.
• Imagine for a moment, turning on the television as you get ready
for work. On it, you see a man throwing a car at a helicopter, or
a girl flying through the sky. Imagine knowing that overnight,
without warning, thousands of people all across the planet
obtained super powers. Some of these people may have their
heart in the right place, but the majority of them view their new
gifts as a way to selfishly improve their situation in life. By
doing so, they put the rest of the world in jeopardy. As the people of the planet that have not been granted powers deal with
one catastrophe after another, an ancient Atlantean evil that was
kept at bay with the combined power is now loose upon the
world.

MIDNIGHT TO DAYLIGHT
• No army has ever marched into battle thinking they were the
bad guys. And it’s up to the reader to decide who is the hero...
and who is the villain?
THE ASSASSIN GN
• Students from one of the top International Schools in the coun-
try will have to face two of the most challenging issues of their
lives: murder and bigotry. It is said that the recent deaths around
the school have been assassinations and, intriguingly, a geisha’s
kanzashi is always left behind at the scene. Maika is an unfortunate student who has entered the wrong school at the wrong
time. Her Japanese heritage makes her an immediate target for
the hatred and suspicions of her peers. Will Maika be able to
unravel the mystery in time before she becomes the next target
of The Assassin?
THE ELIXER
• Legend claims that in God’s Shrine rests the Elixir of Eternity,
a liquid granting immortality to whoever drinks it. King Hector
is stricken with illness and doesn’t see why he should die —
he’s a bloody king, after all! Thus, he offers the hand of his only
daughter, Diane, in marriage to anyone who brings him the
elixir, an offer which angers the princess but which is of great
interest to the ruthless and ambitious “hero” Roland Morgaine.
But Roland hasn’t taken into account the plans of Frank Timber
and Dwight Theseus, the thief and assassin who intend to
become rich men at King Hector’s expense. On a collision
course, these four people will learn that you should always go
around a haunted fort, that monsters named William should be
fed regularly, and that immortality can get you killed!
JUL-DEC 2012
• Victor Campbell, an undercover cop, enters an old warehouse to
meet with “The Fixer”, the muscle bound vigilante who has
been independently and aggressively taking drug dealers off the
streets. Victor is shocked to see former fellow SWAT officer,
Kent Dawning, who had been assumed dead for over five years.
Not only is Kent alive, he is The Fixer! Victor is now forced to
make a choice on which drug, and which ‘fix’, is worse?
WAR’S CHOSEN
• To save the life of his granddaughter, retired superhero James
Cummings must face not only the mistakes of his past, but also
a rogue government agency called Black Messiah that’s determined to preserve their own perverted version of the American
Dream — a dream that may explain why so many mutilated
men, women, and children are turning up on the United
States/Mexico border!
THE PRAETORIAN
• The island kingdom of Desperian has long been ruled under the
iron heel of a dark wizard and his ruling class of loyalists. The
nobles of the land have long held to an imperative law: blood in
the arena keeps blood out of the streets. Cadres of celebrated
gladiators entertain the masses in hallowed stadiums — temples
of slaughter where sacrifices appease the populace. And through
this control, the wizard Zoranthar continues his timeless dominance of the island. But now, slavers have delivered a stranger
in chains to the shores of the desert wasteland. A broken,
wounded, lost woman. Valoriss Bladesong does not appear to be
a warrior of destiny, but her path will bring her to the doorstep
of Emperor Zoranthar and a challenge for the destiny of
Desperian!

life...” For half-Native American Minx, this is not
superstition — it is reality. Once a struggling young
artist in New York City, Minx’s life is changed forever after suffering a vicious attack and slipping into
a coma. But she doesn’t wake in the same world she
left; rather, she finds herself in Dreamtime, the alternate reality that humans inhabit when they sleep.
With this transition comes great revelation and profound responsibility as Minx evolves into a sophisticated warrior, charged with protecting people from a
complex agenda that seeks to transform nightmares
into realities, and realities into nightmares. But
Minx’s role as vigilante is not born from random
coincidence: it is the result of an elaborate conspiracy, an ancient prophecy, and devastating betrayal.
Featuring the full Minx storyline, plus tons of extras
and an exclusive Minx sketch by David Mack.

Amane ages no more. Amane learns of another with a
similar oni — one that requires its host to kill — which
leads Amane to the realization that the “other” is the
man who murdered his sister years ago. But when his
decades-long quest for the murderer causes him to cross
paths with a maniacal serial killer intent on murdering
the woman Amane loves, the only one who can help
him is the man who killed his sister.

from the fields of ancient Japan, to the streets of modern New York City — and to dimensions beyond human

Crime Does Not Pay is one of the comic books that
inspired the following quote: “The comic books, in
intent and effect, are demoralizing the morals of
youth… They make violence alluring and cruelty
heroic. They are not educational but stultifying.” —
Dr. Fredric Wertham, author of The Seduction of the
Innocent
Not only did this comic rip stories from the headlines, it actually made headlines… when its own editor committed murder!

blood spatter is infectious. This “Crime” pays, with

On the planet Tython, a group of beings — scientists, philosophers, and warriors — strive to maintain peace and to balance the

one who will disrupt the balance with his arrival and his own connection to the Force. Everything in their system is about to

from the stars in “The Call of Cthulhu,” to “The Haunter of
the Dark,” and the hidden horrors lurking within “The
Shunned House” and “The Diary of Alonzo Typer.” Also
includes “The Shadow Over Innsmouth” and “The

he is now regarded as one of the most influential horror
writers of the 20th century. According to Joyce Carol Oates,

artist, as well as a noted animator. Very much in the school of
Milton Caniff and Alex Toth, Wildley was an artist’s artist, a
storyteller of the highest order, and one with remarkable depth.
While not known for any specific character (very much like
Toth), Wildey worked in many genres — with western stories
being some of his most memorable.
In 1987 Wildey began one of his most personal works, Rio —
the story of an aging cowboy and gunfighter, as well as special
agent for the President of the United States, Ulysses S. Grant.
This volume collects the entire Rio saga in one handsome collection, including the final, unfinished and unpublished Rio
story.

Art of Molly Crabapple

(ISBN 1-61377-154-1)
• Fine
•
artist, illustrator, and comics creator Molly
Crabapple captures the absurdity of modern life in
intricate, theatrical detail in her fine art work, drawing inspiration from politics, polite (and not-sopolite) society, and hundreds of years of literature.
Her work is burlesque-inspired in the broadest definition of the word — deftly satirizing the powerful
with adorably sinister animals, steampunk-tinged
machinery, and of course, beautiful girls. But it’s not
all fantastical — when Occupy Wall Street broke out,
Molly was there, capturing the immediacy of the revolutionary feeling in pen and ink.
In a new 48-page book from IDW, you can get
Molly’s art in gorgeous full-color, work that’s decorated glamorous nightclubs, museums and galleries,
and protest signs and occupied spaces around the
country. Comedian Margaret Cho contributes the
Foreward.
• Featured in six solo art exhibitions & dozens of group
exhibitions from 2003 to 2011.
• Molly has worked on a number of comics (often with

• The Definitive Flash Gordon & Jungle Jim will pres-
ent every Sunday strip by Raymond from both classic strips together for the first time, in the oversized
12” x 16” champagne edition format. Created by
Raymond in 1934, Flash Gordon is arguably the
most famous science fiction comic strip of all time. 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

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.

ILLUSTRATED MASQUES
• “Scare me!” From 1984 through 2006, such writers as Stephen
King, Robert R. McCammon, Robert Bloch, Charles Beaumont,
Ray Russell, F. Paul Wilson, Richard Matheson, and Ray
Bradburry did just that in five volumes of Masques, creating
classics for the darkest nights of the darkest souls. Now, Editors
Mort Castle and David Campiti bring Masques tales to haunting
and memorable life in graphic story format in J.N. Williamson’s
Illustrated Masques.
• A Masques story offers something beyond the transitory horror,
KEY SELLING POINTS:
the cheap thrill, the soon-forgotten fright… it’s horror fiction
that says something about the way people are, at heart. The
masque was an elaborate dramatic performance popular in
England during the 16th and 17th centuries; the subject was of
such concerns as terror, revenge, and horror, probing the roots
of all evil. As do we!” — J.N. Williamson
INFESTATION 2 VOLUME 2
• The
Lovecraftian monsters invade the worlds of The
Transformers and G.I. JOE in Infestation 2! It’s a steam-punk
world in the grips of panic as terrifying beings from the depths
of the ocean corrupt both humans and Decepticons! Meanwhile,
Cobra has always had a penchant for dark experiments. This
time they’ve gone too far and opened a portal to a realm of violence and madness! As squadron after squadron of Cobra Vipers
falls under the thrall of the Elder Gods there seems no way to
stop the hideous transformations that are taking place. Can
Snake Eyes stop it?

• The year 1964 was a momentous one in the history of
Gasoline Alley — it’s when Frank King officially
handed the baton to Dick Moores. King continued to
help plot the strip but it’s Dick Moores who takes
center stage. More so than any other newspaper strip,
Gasoline Alley is renowned for its strict continuity
and this is our chance to see Moores — who continued writing and drawing the strip until 1986 — make
it his own. Forty-plus years earlier, Walt Wallet
found baby Skeezix in a basket on his doorstep and
in the 1964-1966 strips reproduced in this volume.
Skeezix is now middle-aged and has a family of his
own. For the first time since they appeared in newspapers fifty years ago, readers can enjoy these classic
strips featuring Walt and his wife Phyllis, Skeezix
and his wife Nina, Corky, Clovia, Slim, Avery, Mr.
Pert, Joel, Rufus, and a whole cast of familiar characters.
• The Gasoline Alley strip inspired a radio show
(1941–49) and a pair of films (1951).
• Gasoline Alley is the second longest running comic
strip in the US.

INFESTATION 2 VOLUME 3
• Infestation 2 entangles the worlds of Dungeons &
Dragons and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
Introducing the D&D campaign Eberron to comics,
this collection reveals the strange history it shares
with the threat of Infestation 2. Also, one of the
Turtles has been taken by something in the dark
depths of the sewers, and it’s up to the brothers to
save him. It all comes down to the final battle. C.V.O.
is scattered across America, and one of their own may
be the key to stopping the threat once and for all —
but not without a tremendous sacrifice. Danger Girl
and others are on hand to help, but will it be enough?

• Introducing a new series that will reprint early daily newspaper strips that are essential to the histo•
ry of comics. Each volume will contain a full year of dailies. By reproducing the strips one per page
in an oblong format, it allows us to have the experience of reading the comics one day at a time. The
inaugural volume of LOAC Essentials features Baron Bean by one of the greatest of all comic strip
stars: George Herriman. The creator of Krazy Kat drew Baron Bean for three years beginning in
1916. Included in this volume is the first year. Two additional books will complete the series. Future
LOAC Essentials titles include The Gumps and Polly and Her Pals.
The Library of American Comics is the world’s #1 publisher of classic newspaper comic strips, with
14 Eisner Award nominations and three wins for best book. LOAC has become “the gold standard
for archival comic strip reprints…The research and articles provide insight and context, and most
importantly the glorious reproduction of the material has preserved these strips for those who knew
them and offers a new gateway to adventure for those discovering them for the first time.” — Scoop
• From the very popular George Herriman, creator of Krazy & Ignatz.

with art by Rich Ellis. Memorial is the story of Em, a young
woman who arrives at a hospital in Portland, Oregon, with no

• It’s not easy drawing Dojin manga to make money on the side,
and that’s exactly what Najimi is learning...and she’s not alone.
There are literally thousands of artists trying to make a buck,
and many of them suck just as bad as Najimi. Enter Kaneru —
a rival artist who’s so deluded she thinks she’s better than
Najimi...unfortunately she’s awful, too! They have to find a way
to bring attention to their books...but what could possibly draw
the Otaku in?
• Inside her heart, Najimi is confident that she can make money
with manga. Perhaps if she just prints enough copies, her enthusiasm and spirit, alone, will sell the books. She’ll do it, and with
her friends at her side — Justice, Sora, Kaneru and Hoshi —
she’ll succeed…or, at least, she’ll be surrounded by friends
when she fails!

him than the war he’s been sent to fight, but is this squad of
chain-smoking chimps the most dangerous force in the jungle,
or are they merely a distraction from the larger evil growing in
the wild?

• Ten-year-old
Jake is a chronic daydreamer.
Constantly drifting off in class, at home, and even
during Little League, Jake has become the outcast of
the 4th grade. That is, until the night he dreams he
saves the neighbor’s kid from a monster and, the next
day, the little boy actually thanks him. Jake soon
learns he is this generation’s “Dreaming” — the chosen one who can enter people’s dreams and save their
souls from the evil creature known only as
Nocturnus. Now, Jake must master the ways of the
Dreaming World and defeat Nocturnus before he
gains enough power to cross over to the Waking
World and put us all to sleep forever!

at the end of time, these 100 objects tell the story of
the universe and the most important man in it: the
Doctor. Along the way, civilizations will rise at the
stroke of a match and fall to a sneeze. Scarves will be
knitted by the wives of prophets, and ray guns will be

of the Loch Ness Monster legend in the 1930s to how
long it would really take to send a message of universal domination. It uncovers the hidden history of
the Time Lords, presents an illustrated guide to invisible monsters, and explores the Rani’s wardrobe.

• In 1487, Heinrich Kramer and Jacob Sprenger wrote
•
the Malleus Maleficarum, the premiere manual for
exposing, capturing, prosecuting, and burning witches used by every right-thinking European magistrate
of the late middle ages. 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? Nothing makes for a fun read like
torture, murder, infanticide, and disembodied penises! Always fun and educational.

HOW, exactly? 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. Fortunately,
Campbell’s wry eye and vivid full-color artwork
imbue the proceedings with real humanity, making
The Lovely Horrible Stuff an investment that’s worth
every penny.

Hollywood, releases a GameBoy album, travels to
France, creates his own video game, considers quitting the strip, plays everything from Lego Star Wars

Kevin “Boingthump” Phenicle could always see
more than most people. 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... A gripping story with lots
of good, meaty forbidden knowledge and insight into
the hacker mindset.” — Cory Doctorow, Boing

MATT BAKER: THE ART OF GLAMOUR
•
liest African-American comic book artists. 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.

• They were the beautiful dreamers. From a hidden city
deep in the Ural mountains, they walked the world as
the coldest of Cold Warriors, under the command of
the Kremlin and under the power of their own expansive minds. They slipped into the minds of Russia‘s
enemies with diabolical ease, and drove their human
puppets to murder — and worse. They moved as
Gods. And as Gods, they might have remade the
world. But like the mad holy man Rasputin, who
destroyed Russia through his own powerful influence, in the end, the psychic spies for the Motherland
were only in it for themselves. It is the 1990s. The
Cold War is long finished. From a suite in an unseen
hotel in the heart of Manhattan, an old warrior named
Kolyokov sets out with an open heart, to gather
together the youngest members of his immense, and
immensely talented, family. They are more beautiful
— and more terrible — than any who came before
them. They are Rasputin’s bastards. And they will
remake the world!

is the mega-conglomerate food supplier for City, populated with rabidly bureaucratic superiors, antagonistic and sexually deviant tour guides dressed in chicken and duck suits, and farm animals illegally engineered for silence. City is sprawling, technocratic,
and rests hundreds of feet above the coastline on the
creaking shoulders of a giant wooden pier. When the
narrator’s single mother, whom he left behind in City,
falls out of contact, he fears the worst: his mother is
homeless and subsequently to be deported under City
to the Pier. On his desperate search to find his mother, he encounters ecoterrorists wearing plush animal
suits, an election that hangs in the balance as the
City’s all-powerful Mayor is infatuated with magic
refrigerators and outlaw campaigns, and a wisecracking, over-sexed priest who may or may not have
ESP, but who is most certainly his deadbeat dad.
Whether rebelling against the regimented and ridiculous nature of Farm life, exploring the all-too-familiar

all-too-real suffering of the homeless in Pier, or confronting the secrets of his own childhood, Swallowing

Yet when the fast-talking scoundrel gets caught stealing from
one of the most powerful prophets of Kalistrade, the only option

• Luma is a cobblestone druid, a canny fighter and spellcaster

who can read the chaos of Magnimar’s city streets like a scholar reads books. Together, she and her siblings in the powerful
Derexhi family form one of the most infamous and effective
mercenary companies in the city, solving problems for the city’s
wealthy elite. 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

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.

GHOSTS: RECENT HAUNTINGS
• Introducing stories of circuses traditional and bizarre, futuristic
and steeped in tradition, joyful and heart-breaking! And among
the actors you will find old friends, be they sad clowns or freespirited gymnasts, as well as new ones — mammoths, mechanical piano men, and things best not described at all. Come in,
come all, and enjoy the literary show unfolding!
• The spirits of the dead have walked among our legends, myths,
•
and stories since before recorded history. Ghostly visitations,
hauntings, unquiet souls seeking the living, vengeful wraiths,
the possibility of life beyond the grave that can somehow reach
out and touch us are some of literature’s most enduring icons.
Now, in the twenty-first century, we are no less fascinated with
phantoms than our cave-dwelling ancestors or our Victorian-age
forebears.
Thirty modern masters of fright and fantasy fill this anthology
with shivers, chills, and spooky explorations of both sides of the
veil. Be prepared to keep a light on all night!

offer of a piece of the rock, literally, when he invests in a
scheme to build pyramids. He is so enthusiastic about the concept that he ropes in everyone else he knows to invest — in
tombs lower down than his, of course. But all is not perfect:
along with the prospect of being remembered for eternity and
the best view in the valley of Zyx comes a run of unbelievable
bad luck! It’s up to Skeeve to figure out why the deal is running
sour even before the ink’s dry on the papyrus.

TEMPTING THE GODS: THE SELECTED
STORIES OF TANITH LEE VOLUME 1
• Tempting the Gods collects some of Tanith Lee’s fiction from

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.

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.

definitive sourcebook for the Pathfinder
Roleplaying Game provides tons of new character
options for all seven “core” player character races,
from archetypes that allow elf characters to explore
their connection to nature and magic, to feats and
spells that let a dwarf character carry on the legacy of
his multi-generational clan, or a gnome explore her
connection to the First World or delve deep into her
weird obsessions. Additionally, the Advanced Race
Guide offers meaty sections on a dozen “spotlight”
races that make interesting and exciting player character options, such as goblins, aasimar, tieflings,
dhampyrs, drow, the elemental races from Bestiary 2,
and several others, and, for the first time, allows
players to create and play characters like merfolk,
grippli, duergar, stryx, and every other appropriate
monster currently in the Pathfinder game. Lastly, the
Advanced Race Guide includes an extensive section
that allows players and GMs to build their own custom races, either to emulate more powerful creatures
that already exist in the game or to create wholly
original characters unique to their campaign.

become pirates in their own right, but they must first
rename and refit their stolen ship. But to be considered equals by the pirates of the Shackles, they have

If found, they’ll have enough plunder to return to the
Shackles as true Free Captains!

PATHFINDER CAMPAIGN SETTING:
MAGNIMAR, CITY OF MONUMENTS
• Known as the City of Monuments for its jaw-dropping sky-
•
line of ancient ruins, magnificent towers, and stunning
sculptures, Magnimar embodies the spirit of Varisia more
than any other great city. Yet with Magnimar’s explosive
growth over the last century, life in the City of Monuments
has become an adventure in and of itself. With strange monsters lurking amid the ancient ruins that form the city’s foundation, roving bands of thieves, smugglers, and murderers
battling for control over the city’s alleys, and the increasingly decadent attitudes of its oldest families, Magnimar lies at
a crossroads. Will it succeed despite the obstacles thrown in
its path, or is the City of Monuments doomed to crumble
under the pressure of its own runaway success?
This Pathfinder sourcebook explores the city of Magnimar
(first featured in the now classic Rise of the Runelords
Adventure Path) in great detail. Each city district has its own
unique flavor and role, and comes with pages of details on
industries and institutions, leisure and markets, and politics
and entertainment. Dozens of shops, taverns, guildhalls, and
more await discovery, many of which are presented with
additional adventure hooks, memorable NPCs, and inspirational bits of lore. Examinations of regions ripe for adventuring or sinister groups worthy of defeat, along with a
robust bestiary featuring commonly encountered NPCs or
monsters closely associated with the City of Monuments
completes this book, which will be an invaluable addition to
your upcoming Shattered Star Adventure Path.

•
a time of festive joy and exotic entertainment, this
normally wondrous event instead heralds a sudden
rash of violent murders. The victims bear the unmistakable mark of talons on their savaged bodies —
and it just so happens that this circus has among its

such wounds, not the least of which a mysterious
sphinx. Desperate for aid in a town that’s forbidden
them to leave before an opportunity for justice presents itself, the carnies turn to adventurers for aid —
can they find the culprit before the murderer finds
them?
This Pathfinder adventure is designed for a group of
four 1st-level characters, and takes place in the heartland of Varisia, a region featured in many beloved

ancestors the greatest forces of good throughout the
Great Beyond. They are the descendants of majestic
angels, beatific celestials, and mysterious but kindly

life, nor does it ensure a kindly soul — few villains

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!

• In
•
Varisia’s bustling frontier town of Magnimar, the
Pathfinder Society’s newest lodge recruits a team of rookie
Pathfinder agents to track down rogue agent Natayla
Vancaskerkin — who also happens to be a member of the
Varisian criminals known as the Sczarni. Yet, when
Magnimar’s newest heroes track down the missing woman,
they find far more than a Pathfinder on the run, becoming
embroiled in a quickly expanding hunt for a fragmented
artifact from the height of the ancient empire of Thassilon
that will take them to some of the most dangerous corners
of Varisia!
Shards of Sin is a Pathfinder Roleplaying Game adventure
for 1st-level characters. This volume begins the Shattered
Star Adventure Path, outlining the fabulous powers of the
Sihedron artifact and its seven fragments that form the basis
of an epic new campaign. New monsters from the wilds of
Varisia fill the Pathfinder Bestiary, while Bill Ward (Return
of the Sword) begins a new novella in the Pathfinder’s
Journal.

BROKEN CHAINS
• Slavery is legal in the sprawling city of Katapesh, but
•
some slavers are worse than others. Somewhere
below Golarion’s darkest markets sprawls a hidden
warren of particularly vile gnoll “traders” who must
be stopped! When a Twilight Talon of the Eagle
Knights goes missing, the adventurers are granted
leave by Katapesh’s eerie masters to take up arms
against what would otherwise be “legal business” in
the unforgiving city. But more than mere slavery is
taking place in the deep, dark chambers below the
sandy streets — for those captured and sold by the
gnolls are destined for an altogether more sinister
fate than simple servitude.
Broken Chains is an adventure for 6th-level characters, written for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game
and compatible with the 3.5 edition of the world’s
oldest RPG. In addition to the adventure, this volume
also features a brand-new monster and a fully
detailed slave auction (suitable for destruction) that
can be used in any fantasy campaign.
