COMPANY HISTORY
Dark Horse Comics
Twenty-three Years of Illustrated Storytelling
“The comics that Dark Horse publishes directly reflect Richardson’s vision;
there’s no company in comics that more closely adheres to the personal
philosophy of the guy running it.” —Wizard Magazine
darkhorse.com
COMPANY HISTORY
“By nurturing and backing a quirky, brooding and inventive stable of writers
and artists, Dark Horse has spent the last 20 years carving out and maintaining
its place as a scrappy comic book franchise in an industry dominated by
Marvel Entertainment and DC Comics” —New York Times
Dark Horse Comics is a solid example of how integrity and innovation combined with a dedication to success can
help grow a unique medium and establish a small, homegrown company as an industry giant.
By the mid-1980s, Mike Richardson had already established himself as a business leader in the Portland, Oregon
metropolitan area with the successful chain of retail comic-book shops he founded after graduating from college.
However, amongst the racks, he found very few books that were up to the standards he believed the comics medium
was capable of maintaining. For an industry that was half a century old, even the best comics his stores carried
lacked the kind of spirit and innovation that had drawn him in as a young boy. Richardson knew if he expected
anything to change, he’d have to do it himself. In 1986, he invested profits from his chain of bookstores and started
Dark Horse Comics out of a stockroom.
With this dedicated approach, Dark Horse lured sought-after creators to their stable, and began publishing some
of the most popular and groundbreaking comics ever to hit the market. One of the first titles published by Dark
Horse—Paul Chadwick’s Concrete—went on to earn an unprecedented 26 awards and nominations within two years
of its debut. Many others followed, with Dark Horse gaining respect from the industry and praise from the critics.
Dark Horse became one of the first companies to offer top talent the chance to retain ownership of their own
works.
In addition to publishing comics from the likes of Frank Miller, Mike Mignola, Stan Sakai, Sergio Aragonés, Neil
Gaiman, and comics legend Will Eisner, Dark Horse is also recognized as the world’s leading publisher of licensed
comics. Their highly successful line of comics based on popular properties includes Star Wars, Buffy the Vampire
Slayer, Aliens, Conan, and most recently the highly anticipated video game, Hellgate: London.
Dark Horse was also one of the first publishers to bring traditional Japanese manga to the English-speaking world.
Dark Horse has a rich history of publishing some of the greatest Japanese works going all the way back to the
release of Godzilla in 1987. From the widely revered works of Kazuo Koike, such as Lone Wolf and Cub, Samurai
Executioner, and Path of the Assassin, to the incredibly successful Vampire Hunter D novels, Dark Horse remains a
force to be reckoned with outside the world of traditional American comics.
Richardson determined early on that great stories were great stories no matter the medium in which they’re told.
This belief led the publisher to explore the world of filmmaking and he established his own filmmaking company,
Dark Horse Entertainment, in 1992. The company’s first major film—The Mask, starring Jim Carrey and Cameron
Diaz was a huge smash. Recent film projects include the smash hit Hellboy, as well as the successful Dark Horse
Indie line of home entertainment. Projects in that line include the campy sci-fi romp, Monarch of the Moon, and
the upcoming fan-centric Bruce Campbell flick, My Name Is Bruce. Other Dark Horse properties have found their
way onto the silver screen in the last few year, including the star studded and wildly successful adaptation of Frank
Miller’s Sin City.
Since it’s inception in 1986, Dark Horse has gone from being the little publisher that could to the big publisher that
does, and has branched out into the world of movies, toys, and most recently, traditional prose novels. The works
of Dark Horse are published in over 40 different countries; in over 30 different languages.
Today Dark Horse Comics is the third largest comic-book publisher in the U.S. and is recognized as the world's
leading publisher of licensed comics material.

WHAT IS MANGA?
Graphic storytelling is a respected and centuries-old art form in Japan. Since the
end of World War II, comic books—known in Japan as manga—have remained one
of the country’s most popular forms of entertainment. Over the last twenty years,
manga has become increasingly popular with international audiences, especially
American.
CATALOG INFORMATION
darkhorse.com
One of the most attractive features of manga for Japanese readers is the wide variety of topics the medium embraces. At newsstands throughout Japan, readers
can find manga based on popular sports, historic events, racy adult fun, thoughtprovoking science fiction—literally anything imaginable. With such a competitive
market, international publishers are wise to choose their manga carefully. In the
case of Dark Horse, only the highest-quality manga are acquired for translation and
distribution to American audiences. From the award-winning Blade of the Immortal
to the best-selling Oh My Goddess! to the vastly influential works of Ghost in the
Shell creator Shirow Masamune and the renowned Lone Wolf and Cub from Kazuo
Koike and Goseki Kojima, Dark Horse offers an impressive and tantalizing array of
gorgeous, compelling manga titles for discriminating readers.
MEDIA TIE-INS
As the top publisher of licensed comics, Dark Horse produces many titles with
media tie-ins to film, television, video games, and more! From Star Wars to Conan,
Buffy the Vampire Slayer to Astro Boy, media tie-in properties provide bookstores
and retailers with an opportunity to take advantage of national exposure and
cross-promotions. Also, many of Dark Horse’s original titles have made their
way to the television or movie screen, such as The Mask, Mysterymen, Hellboy,
Sin City, and 300.
Denotes a Dark Horse title with a media tie-in!
SUBLICENSING
Dark Horse Comics, Inc., continues to develop the international marketplace by providing publishers access to some of the greatest content in the industry. Currently,
Dark Horse publications are available in over forty countries. This is made possible
in partnership with various premier publishers from around the world. With international-smash-hit movies like Star Wars, Sin City, and 300, the possibilities are
endless. From Hellboy to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the choice is yours.

epic retelling of history’s supreme moment of battlefield valor is finally collected in a glorious hardcover volume in its intended format—each two-page spread from the original comic book is presented as a single, undivided page.

Steel Harbor is a hell of a town, with the emphasis on hell, an urban wasteland of shuttered factories,
decaying neighborhoods, and broken dreams. Crime and street violence are the soup of the day every
day, but if you’re a bounty hunter, every day in “Metal City” can be Christmas—assuming you survive,
since the worst of the Harbor’s most wanted can fly, summon up tornadoes, or tear cars in half with
their bare hands. But a skip’s a skip, and manhunter Barb Wire is the best tracker in the business, and
no super-gangster is too tough—as long as there’s a fat price on his, her, or its head.

THE CHRONICLES OF CONAN
by Roy Thomas, Barry Windsor-Smith, John Buscema, and others
In the early 1970s, Robert E. Howard’s Conan the Barbarian exploded onto the comics scene. Writer
Roy Thomas teamed with a young artist named Barry Smith, and together the two mapped out some
of the most stirring and memorable Conan adventures to come along since those written by Howard
himself. Over the course of their twenty-four-issue run together, Thomas and Smith defined Conan for
a generation of comics readers, and now those stories are collected here in a series of trade paperbacks. Featuring completely remastered color and text corrections, and containing material not
available for nearly thirty years.

The Cimmerian finds himself ensnared in the dark intrigues of a city-state where the powerful will
stoop to any depths to keep what they have stolen. When a young, idealistic noble offers Conan a
ticket to freedom in exchange for a favor, Conan leaps at the opportunity—and into a labyrinth where
he must fight to keep not only his word, but his very life. A favorite of fans and critics alike, the seminal
Conan story “Rogues in the House” first appeared in Weird Tales.

A mysterious curse lingers, following Conan as he attempts to return to his homeland, and a great
darkness looms ahead in the doomed city of Yaralet. This latest collection in Dark Horse’s smart, innovative Conan series finds the cunning Cimmerian chased by both unfinished business from his past
and a strange novice magician who seeks to deliver a dire warning to the wandering barbarian. A great
evil moves ever closer while unfathomable terrors awaken and come into view. Conan is, of course,
eager to meet both head on!

Not only is costumed crimefighter “Empowered” saddled with a less-than-ideal superhero name,
but she wears a skintight and cruelly revealing “supersuit” that only magnifies her body-image insecurities. Worse yet, the suit’s unreliable powers are prone to failure, repeatedly leaving her in
appallingly distressing situations . . . and giving her a shameful reputation as the lamest “cape” in
the masks-and-tights business. Nonetheless, she pluckily braves the ordeals of her bottom-rung
superheroic life with the help of her “thugalicious” boyfriend (and former Witless Minion) and her
hard-drinking ninja girlfriend, not to mention the super villainous advice from the caged alien
demonlord watching DVDs from atop her coffee table . . .

Gordon work by Raboy. Beginning his comics career in 1940, after taking government-funded
drawing classes, Emanuel “Mac” Raboy drew comics for the Harry “A” Chesler Studio and for
Fawcett Publications. He’s perhaps best known for his work on Captain Marvel, Jr. and the Green
Lama in the 1940s. In the spring of 1948 he signed on with King Features to illustrate the “Flash
Gordon” Sunday page, following in the footsteps of his idol, Alex Raymond, and drawing the strip
until his death in December of 1967.

by Richard E. Hughes, Pete Costanza, Chic Stone, Kurt Schaffenberger, and Scott Shaw
Steve Flint was a crusading private detective—no crime was too small or too big for him to take on,
and the criminal underworld quaked in fear at the very mention of his name. But when FBI Director J.
Edgar Hoover asked Flint to investigate the Mafia’s connections to sabotage in the race to the moon,
the crusading detective took on more than he expected and was murdered by the mob. For most men
the story would end there . . . but Steve Flint is sent back from the great Unknown as a spirit empowered by the Grim Reaper, charged with capturing his killers and striking a blow for justice as the
ghostly hero Nemesis!

USAGI YOJIMBO
by Stan Sakai
Stan Sakai received a Fine Arts degree from the University of Hawaii and furthered his studies at
Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. His creation, Usagi Yojimbo, first appeared
in comics in 1984. Since then, Usagi has been on television as a guest of the Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles and has been made into toys, seen on clothing, and featured in a series of tradepaperback collections. Stan is also an award-winning letterer for his work on Sergio Aragonés’
Groo the Wanderer, the Spider-Man Sunday newspaper strips, and Usagi Yojimbo. Stan is a recipient of a Parents’ Choice Award, an Inkpot Award, and multiple Eisner Awards.
The tale of Usagi Yojimbo is a masterful adaptation of samurai legend to sequential art, and a
parable of sixteenth-century Japan told with characters that are all anthropomorphized animals.
Young or old, male or female, if you enjoy stories of high adventure and high honor, you will thrill
at the saga of Usagi Yojimbo! Written and illustrated by Stan Sakai.

ROBOTS AND DONUTS
by Eric Joyner
In the years following World War II, the major export from Japan wasn’t electronic equipment, but toys,
specifically tin toys. Crafted in the shapes of submarines, planes, trains, cars, and horses, one of the
most popular motifs was toy robots. Constructed in virtually every shape imaginable from the 1940s
throughout the 1960s, they ranged in appearance from horror to science fiction characters. Today,
these toys are not only fondly remembered by collectors but are being re-created for a whole new
generation! Capturing this period in history became a passion of painter Eric Joyner and in Robots and
Donuts he celebrates this forgotten era with images marrying the metal creations with images plucked
from his imagination.

In 1936, a twenty-year-old artist using the name Willis B. Rensie jump-started the comic-book medium. Writing and illustrating an action-packed weekly serial called “Hawks of the Seas”—a pirate
adventure series set in the 18th-century Caribbean, that artist was none other than comics’ grand
master Will Eisner! From 1936 to 1938, Eisner’s “Hawks of the Seas” weekly stories were translated
into several different languages and distributed all over the world, and now they’re collected here
in this handsome hardcover edition. The stories themselves stand the test of time, as thrilling and
exciting now as they were almost seventy years ago. Featuring an introduction by comics veteran Al
Williamson and a new foreword by Eisner himself.

Kane, Joe Kubert, Jack Davis, Neal Adams, C. C. Beck, Milton Caniff, Gill Fox, Harvey Kurtzman,

for each of the eleven different sections. From his observations of his friends and loved ones hustling

particularly during the many field trips he made for P.S. Magazine, he observed camp life at close

an eerie old tale of a foundling girl who was left—with an owl pellet—as a newborn on the steps of the
Dymton Church. She was soon cloistered away in a local convent, but by her fourteenth year word of
her beauty had spread—and those who would prey upon her faced unforeseen consequences.

of the approach, every creator involved poured heart and soul into the work, and the results are
astounding.

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER
Buffy the Vampire Slayer was one of the hottest cult TV shows in recent history, and
it’s easy to see why. The scrappy, sassy Buffy kicks vampire butt night after blood-sucking night,
and the stories capture the heart of the various horrors of high-school life, even when voracious
vampires aren’t the biggest problem. In keeping with the fun and feisty tradition of the hit television show, Dark Horse Comics licensed the rights to Buffy comic books and graphic novels in
1998, and the series has proven to be one of the most successful for the company.
Follow the adventures of Buffy the Vampire Slayer with the Dark Horse collection of graphic novels.

just within his grasp—until his body became fused with an experimental robot suit during a routine
testing session. Trapped inside a powerful, high-tech body that’s as mysterious as it is cool, and suddenly the unwilling pawn in a deadly struggle between obsessive egos and misguided military forces

The Goon and Franky have been best friends ever since they was tykes. Find out how the two little ankle-biters became best pals, and how they muscled their way into the rackets of big-time crime-boss, Labrazio—
who, incidentally, nobody’s seen in a while. This trip down memory lane ain’t gonna be no joyride, neither.
Franky and the Goon are going to have to take on a horde of zombies, an army of hoboes, a couple of
grave-robbin’ mongoloids, a guy with a gold head and his killer robot, a pie-crazed skunk ape, one homely,
man-crazy sea hag, and whole lot of other things that smell just as bad if not worse. Pick up a copy, because
those uptown rich people may have the cops and their G-men, but down here all we got is the Goon!

The tide has turned in Goon’s war against the undead hordes of the Zombie Priest—or has it? With
Buzzard now preventing the harvest of any fresh corpses from the cemetery, the Priest grows desperate. So desperate, that he unleashes incantations of previously unseen power to create a whole new
breed of minion—one that may be beyond even the strength of the Goon to contain. But one pays a
price for conjuring such evil into the world, and the Zombie Priest quickly discovers that the cost of
such power may be far more than he bargained for.

HELLBOY
by Mike Mignola
Mike Mignola is among the most highly regarded writers of horror comics today, which is a
unique distinction for someone whose work can be as humorous as it is frightening. Mignola
had long entertained the idea of writing and drawing his own comic book, inspired by classic
folk tales, pulp magazines from the twenties and thirties, and Victorian ghost stories. Soon the
idea for Hellboy was born. Today Hellboy is published in six languages throughout the world, and
Mignola’s audience is growing every day. Mignola has won numerous best writer/artist awards
for his contributions to the comics industry, and he was awarded last year’s prestigious Eisner
Award for Best Anthology.
In 2004 Mike Mignola’s award-winning Hellboy became a major motion picture starring Ron
Perlman, John Hurt, and Selma Blair with direction by Guillermo del Toro (Mimic, Blade II, The
Devil’s Backbone) and 2008 will see the sequel Hellboy II: The Golden Army.
Moviegoers nationwide can now enjoy Mignola’s award-winning character in his motion picture
debut, now available on DVD.
You can enjoy the expanded adventures of your favorite characters from Hellboy in Abe Sapian,
Lobster Johnson, and B.P.R.D.

Dark Horse Comics and Playboy Enterprises are proud to present for the first time ever the more
than four hundred pages of the late, great Harvey Kurtzman’s “Little Annie Fanny,” to be collected
in two deluxe volumes. Kurtzman, creator of Mad magazine and godfather of underground
comix, teamed with longtime EC Comics collaborator Will Elder (and sometimes Frank Frazetta,
Russ Heath, and Jack Davis!) to create a Playboy icon second only to the bunny and a risqué comics
icon second to none! Each volume showcases over two hundred pages of stunningly rendered
stories from the sexy strip’s twenty-five-year run. Trendsetting in its use of color, irreverent in its
satirical look at the changing face of America, and a masterpiece of technique, this definitive
collection of one of the world’s most controversial comic strips is long overdue. This first volume
takes us through the Swinging Sixties with the Beatles, Civil Rights, and the beginning of the
Sexual Revolution.

this collection follows the strip through to its end in 1988. Ralph Nader, the women’s movement,
Star Wars, and Arnold Schwarzenegger all fall victim to the merciless and masterful satire of Kurtzman
and Elder. The first volume was a smash hit, and the second includes all the same goodies, with neverbefore-seen production art and behind-the-scenes info about Hefner, Kurtzman, Elder, and the host of
cartoonists who contributed to this revolutionary comic.

youthful awkwardness, we get to experience Tokyo through many unique—and drastically
different points of view. New discoverers of the series may find familiar emotions and a dialogue that is freakishly similar to their own. Megatokyo is a graphic story that speaks
directly to the hordes of manga/anime and gaming fans in America, and it’s a long overdue

Veteran motion picture storyboard artist Pete Von Sholly has created a groundbreaking publication
that goes further than any previous attempt to blur the line between cinema and comic books.
While employing the time-honored European “fumetti” format, this book goes light years beyond
that simple approach. Custom-sculpted models, costumed actors, and mind-boggling computergenerated “special effects” come together to create a dynamic visual storytelling format heretofore
unseen in graphic novels. The stories themselves run the gamut from tongue-in-cheek lampoons of
fifties drive-in movies to gut-wrenching horror in the Lovecraft tradition.

Question accesses his darker side, serving up this caustic collection of comical cautionary
chronicles. What Beg the Question was to sex and romance, You Deserved It is to wanton violence

CANNON GOD EXAXXION
by Kenichi Sonoda
From the creator of Gunsmith Cats!
You’d be in shock, too! Let’s say you’re Hoichi Kano, typical high school student. Earth has been
taken over by what seems to be a kindly, co-existing race of aliens. Your brilliant—and depraved—
grandfather shows up to deliver a sexy android AND an integrated, armored, nearly indestructible
gun-suit for your personal use. And just in time, because a ball-shaped robot with razor blade arms
has just sliced through a wall like soft butter. Guess those alien friends aren’t quite as friendly as
we thought and that this mechanical monstrosity is just the tip of the invasion iceberg.

it’s reanimated . . . by some kind of alien orb with a nasty message: “Your lives are over. What you
do with your new lives is up to me!” And what this orb called “Gantz” intends to do with their lives
is make them play games of death, hunting all kinds of odd aliens, along with a bunch of other
ordinary citizens who’ve recently met a tragic semiend. The missions they embark upon are often
dangerous. Many die—and die again.
Gantz has been one of the most popular adult anime in recent years!

GUNSMITH CATS
by Kenichi Sonoda
Manga artist Kenichi Sonoda has enjoyed a long and distinguished career in animation and
science-fiction manga, but the Tokyo-based artist hit his true stride as a creative force when he
dreamed up a single illustration of two women for a friend’s manga fanzine. So was born the idea
for Sonoda’s influential manga series Gunsmith Cats, which launched in Japan’s Afternoon
magazine in 1991.
Gunsmith Cats chronicles the misadventures of two women who run a gun shop in modern-day
Chicago. Rally Vincent is a bounty hunter and master of any weapon that fires a bullet, while her
diminutive sidekick Minnie-May Hopkins is an explosives expert extraordinaire! Manga/anime
fan-favorite Sonoda’s detailed illustrations of cars and guns are lovingly rendered, and his action
scenes are downright cinematic!

their trail. But now the agents of Cygnat Owari have captured Itto, hoping to extract from him through

ROMAN ALBUM: SAMURAI CHAMPLOO
Edited by Tokuma Champloos
This hip-hop anime sensation from the creators of the phenomenal Cowboy Bebop series took Cartoon
Network’s [Adult Swim] audience by storm. Dark Horse is pleased to present the very first Samurai
Champloo art book to English-reading fans as directly translated from the original Roman Album edition—a volume published in a prestigious line of Japanese art books! Main characters Mugen, Jin, and
Fuu are each profiled at length, all twenty-six episodes are summarized and illustrated with screen
captures, and the “Backstage Champloo” chapter features interviews with famed director Shinichiro
Watanabe, character designer and chief animator Kazuto Nakazawa, and art director Takeshi Waki.

SAMURAI EXECUTIONER
From the creators of Lone Wolf and Cub comes Samurai Executioner. It’s true! Before Koike and
Kojima created Itto Ogami, they created Kubikiri Asa, better known to Lone Wolf readers as
Decapitator Asaemon. He was the equal to Itto, bearer of the sword Onibocho, the man charged
with the duty of testing the swords for the shogun. Samurai Executioner is based on the decapitator himself, in life before his fatal duel with Lone Wolf. Expect the same legendary drama,
frantic action, and stoic samurai stature, combined with the exemplary art and storytelling that
made Lone Wolf and Cub one of the most popular and influential comic books in the world!

SATSUMA GISHIDEN
by Hiroshi Hirata
Controversial, tough, angry, highly skilled, and lost in a time of peace, the characters of Satsuma
Gishiden tell a quasi-historical tale of social caste and brutal reprisal. Readers with a taste for
Kazuo Koike’s gritty Lone Wolf and Cub will go nuts for master gekiga artist Hiroshi Hirata’s tome
of samurai struggle.

VAMPIRE HUNTER D
by Hideyuki Kikuchi and Yoshitaka Amano
12,090 A.D. It is a dark time for the world. Humanity is just crawling out from under three hundred
years of domination by the race of vampires known as the Nobility. The war against the vampires
has taken its toll; cities lie in ruin, the countryside is fragmented into small villages and fiefdoms
that still struggle against nightly raids by the fallen vampires—and the remnants of their genetically manufactured demons and werewolves.
Every village wants a Hunter, but some Hunters are better than others, and some bring their own
kind of danger with them . . .

WHO FIGHTER WITH HEART OF DARKNESS
by Seiho Takizawa
The first story in this anthology, “Who Fighter,” is a play on the legendary “Foo Fighters,” the nickname
given to the mysterious, UFO-like fireballs that were sighted by World War II pilots. An ace Japanese
pilot manages to shoot one of the fireballs down . . . or does he? The second story, “Heart of Darkness,” is Takizawa’s unique take on the Joseph Conrad novel that inspired the film Apocalypse Now.
A Japanese war hero, Colonel Kurutsu, has gone rogue, setting up his own private kingdom deep
upriver in the jungles of Burma. Finally, a short piece, “Tanks,” closes out the collection with a surreal voyage through one hundred years of armored vehicle battles!

Several decades after the events in the popular Blood: The Last Vampire anime film, amnesiac Saya
Otonashi lives as a seemingly normal high-school student with her adoptive family in Okinawa.
Horrible nightmares are the only hints at the violent life she once led, but her past is about to
catch up with her and awaken the merciless warrior within. Chiropterans—powerful, shape-changing
creatures who need and crave blood—threaten humanity once more, and a mysterious organization called the Red Shield needs Saya’s deadly sword skills and mysterious powers to aid in the
fight against these beasts. Asuka Katsura’s manga series successfully expands upon the original
Production I.G/Aniplex feature, delivering moments of jarring violence and thrilling action in a
tale that spans several centuries.

JU-ON
by Kei Ohishi
In Japan, ju-on is a deadly curse that takes on a life of its own. Always seeking new victims, it's a
grudge that doesn't stop—it can't be stopped. Anyone unfortunate enough to meet up with a ghost
killed by the grudge is then killed—and so it spreads . . . When a senior citizen outreach volunteer
goes to work in a house in a quiet residential area, she soon starts to hear odd noises. As the strange
events get more and more ominous, she discovers that some acts of violence can attach themselves
to a house and that some evils can reach out and touch you—even after death.

THE KUROSAGI CORPSE DELIVERY SERVICE
by Eiji Otsuka and Housui Yamazaki
Your body is their business! Five young students at a Buddhist university, three guys and two girls, find
little call for their job skills in today’s Tokyo . . . among the living, that is! But all that stuff in college they
were told would never pay off—you know, channeling, dowsing, ESP—gives them a direct line to the
dead . . . the dead who are still trapped in their corpses and can’t move on to the next reincarnation.

LULLABIES FROM HELL
by Hideshi Hino
Welcome to one of the most disturbing minds in Japanese manga! Hideshi Hino has long been considered a master of the horror manga genre since his coming out in the late seventies. And the four
stories in Lullabies from Hell will show you how demented the man can be. The self-titled first chapter
introduces you to the author himself, a horror quasi-biography of sorts. The second story tells of
Hino’s having willed his pregnant wife into birthing a horrible, planet-devastating reptile baby that
eats puppies and children! And you can imagine how the stories progress from there.

MAIL
by Housui Yamazaki
Private detective Reiji Akiba has a theory about those awkward moments and weird coincidences
we all encounter in life. They are actually encounters with the dead—their way of sending us a
message. But you may not want to open such strange mail from beyond—not unless you can see
the ghostly attachment, like Akiba can. And not unless you carry a gun that can kill what isn’t
alive, like Akiba’s aptly named Kagutsuchi, “the tool between God and earth” . . . digging a divine
grave to lay to rest the evil dead.

THE RING
by Hiroshi Takahashi and Misao Inagaki
The Ring, a Japanese multi-media frenzy based on the best-selling horror novels by Koji Suzuki,
has already made its way to America in both a Western adaptation of the film, and an equally
popular dubbed Japanese version. Now Dark Horse Comics presents the equally fantastic manga,
and it will be published, respectfully, in the increasingly popular “non-Western” format, meaning
you get a kick out of reading from the back of the book to the front. For those of you who love your
media in comic-book form, you’ll love seeing this creepy tidbit panel to panel. The fabulously
horrific story of The Ring takes a side step from the plot of the original Japanese film, taking the
reader into life after all that tragedy and mystery. Co-published with Digital Manga Publishing.

Keiichi Morisato was a typical college student, a failure with women, struggling to get through his
classes, and in general living a pretty nondescript life. That is, until he dialed the wrong number and
accidentally summoned the Norse goddess Belldandy. Not believing Belldandy was a goddess and
that she could grant his every wish, Keiichi wished for her to stay with him forever. As they say: Be
careful what you wish for! Now bound to Earth and at Keiichi’s side for life, the lives of this most unnormal goddess and most lucky human will never be the same again.

Functional simplicity, structural complexity: the best life for all. That’s the maxim of Olympus,
the utopian city that sprung from the ashes of World War III. But Deunan and Bri, a young woman
and her cyborg companion just entering the rose-tinted society, find that so long as there are
different kinds of people there will be differences among them. Such is the story of Appleseed,
the masterwork of manga storyteller Shirow Masamune. Beautiful art and a complex and fully
realized future world rank this title among the best comics available.

THE TWO FACES OF TOMORROW
by James P. Hogan and Yukinobu Hoshino
Midway through the twenty-first century, an integrated global computer network manages much of
the world’s affairs. A proposed major software upgrade—an artificial intelligence—will give the system
an unprecedented degree of independent decision-making power, but serious questions are raised
in regard to how much control can safely be given to a non-human intelligence. In order to more fully
assess the system, a new space-station habitat—a world in miniature—is developed for deployment
of the fully operational system, named Spartacus. This mini-world can then be “attacked” in a series
of escalating tests to assess the system’s responses and capabilities. If Spartacus gets out of hand,
the system can be shut down and the station destroyed . . . unless Spartacus decides to take matters
into its own hands and take the fight to Earth.

Manhwa is the Korean term for comics. Actually, manhwa has been published in the U.S. for several years under the incorrect term manga. Dark Horse is proud to bring you the very best that
Korea has to offer—something which, up until now, couldn’t be done because many U.S. companies
insisted on calling Korean works manga—which precluded them from licensing some of Korea’s
best-selling titles! In a recent article, BusinessWeek stated: “According to one manhwa publisher,
comics account for about 25% of all book sales in South Korea, while more than 3 million Korean
users access paid online manhwa and 10 million read free webcomics.”

Dr. Caspar Nordling is developing a micro-organism that is deadly to Aliens, but not to people. He’s had
a lot of luck engineering selective viruses to kill rats and weevils, but this is something altogether different. Highly speculative. Highly volatile. Just like the doctor himself. In a remote sector of the galaxy,
on an isolated Grant-Corp space station, the thin line between science and horror is narrowing, and
Philip and Joy Strunk, two company employees, are finding themselves on the short end of the cut.

In 1979, science fiction and horror were brought together in director Ridley Scott’s classic film Alien.
The film follows the crew of a space cargo-ship, the Nostromo, who land on a hostile planet in response
to a faint SOS only to discover an abandoned ship with a ravenous alien on board. Alien inspired
movie sequels, and now Aliens: Original Sin expands further on this classic story, bringing back
characters like Ripley 8, the clone of Lt. Ellen Ripley, and android Call. It also sorts out unanswered
questions from the movies and raises entirely new ones. Was it just coincidence that the Nostromo
happened to pass by the desolate planet? Why was the alien on the crashed ship in the first place?

AL WILLIAMSON: HIDDEN LANDS
THE AMERICAN
CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON: TIME'S BLACK LAGOON
by Thomas Yeates, Mark Schultz, Steve Ringgenberg, and Al Williamson
Al Williamson stands in rarified air, among the titans of the development of comics as an art form.
Drawing from the tradition of the heyday of book, advertising, and comic-strip illustration, Williamson
brought a command of craft and dynamics rarely seen, before or since, to a field that had largely valued
speed over skill. As part of an amazing stable of young artists at E.C. in the 1950s, Williamson helped
change the industry forever, but much of his work of the era has remained hidden. Al Williamson:
Hidden Lands at last uncovers these gems, most of which have never been reprinted. Covered in depth
by writers Mark Schultz, Thomas Yeates, and Steve Ringgenberg and gathered from extensive, lively
interviews with Williamson, Al Williamson: Hidden Lands is an essential volume for any fan of this giant
of graphic fiction as well as for those interested in comics history.

STAR WARS: EMPIRE VOLUME 1
by Scott Allie and Ryan Benjamin
In the weeks before the events in Star Wars: A New Hope, as the Death Star is readied for its fateful first
mission, a power-hungry cabal of Grand Mofs and Imperial Officers embark on a dangerous plan to kill
Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader and seize control of the Empire! When word that a “Jedi” has made
an appearance on a backwater world lures Vader away from his master, the cabal makes its move.
But even the galaxy isn’t enough of a prize to sate the ambitions of some of the conspirators, and before
long the would-be assassins are turning on one another. Their plans are further complicated by the
actions of bounty hunter Boba Fett. And, of course, they may have fatally underestimated the cunning
of their primary target: Emperor Palpatine!

She was the catalyst that helped to turn a rag-tag rebellion into the Rebel Alliance. She provided
the impetus for the “Heroes of Yavin” in their attack on the Death Star. And she was the spark that
ignited the flames of passion in one of the galaxy’s most notorious rogues. “She,” of course, is
Princess Leia, the leader—and heart—of the Rebellion against Palpatine’s galactic Empire. The four
stories in this volume follow Leia from the weeks just before the events in A New Hope, to the time
just before The Empire Strikes Back—from her first transforming experience with armed rebellion,
to facing the ramifications of consequences of the destruction of her home planet, to the beginnings
of true love.

Luke Skywalker fights side-by-side with a shipwrecked veteran from the Clone Wars, Han Solo’s flirtations with an old flame land him in the fire, and BoShek (the galaxy's second-coolest smuggler) attracts

unexpected stories in the era of the Empire! Whether it’s BoShek transporting an innocent-enough

a Rebel Intelligence team on a supposedly deserted planet, these adventures may start as routine
missions, but their endings are anything but predictable!

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away . . . The events and players are very familiar but something
isn’t quite right. Luke Skywalker valiantly attacks the Death Star, fires his torpedoes—and they miss
their mark! Welcome to a Star Wars you never imagined, a Star Wars shattered, a Star Wars where
the possibilities are ENDLESS! Dark Horse Comics is proud to introduce Star Wars: Infinities—A New

Take the events and characters from one of the classic Star Wars films, throw in one happenstance,

Infinities (A New Hope), Luke Skywalker’s valiant torpedo attack on the Death Star failed due to a
faulty detonator and the Rebellion was dealt a debilitating setback. In Infinities—The Empire Strikes
Back, Han Solo’s desperate attempt to locate his friend Luke in the icy wastes of the planet Hoth is
thwarted when the tauntaun he’s riding succumbs to the cold while Han is still a mile from Luke’s
location. Han arrives too late, barely in time to hear Luke’s dying words about Jedi training and the

Jabba the Hutt lives to negotiate, and the art of the deal is his only discipline. But the goods he trades
are the lives of others, and in that line of business you can’t lose your head. These stories hold a
valuable lesson: In a deal with the devil, you can always refuse. In a deal with Jabba, it’s not advised.
Follow his adventures into the seediest corners of the galaxy as he encounters vile gangsters, hungry
princesses, and back-stabbing opportunists. You’ve seen how Jabba handles negotiations—but how
will he handle betrayal?
by Haden Blackman, Ramon Bachs, and Raul Fernandez
He was born a poor farm boy on a forgotten planet in the galaxy’s Outer Rim. Taken under the wing of
a wise mentor after the violent death of his family, he would rise up to lead a band of fighters struggling

final maneuvering in their quest to take over the galaxy and are looking for the perfect specimen to take

In the eight years since the fall of the Empire, Luke Skywalker has trained a new group of Jedi Knights,
among them the warrior woman Kirana Ti, the sky-hermit Streen, the scholar and lore-master Tionne,
and Luke’s greatest student, the brash Kyp Durron. Once trained, a Jedi must go where he is needed,
to defend the New Republic and use the Force to help those in need. And on the harsh world of Corbos,
help is desperately needed after mining excavations awaken something ancient, powerful . . .

the alleged murder of his fellow Jedi-in-training brings him head to head with the galaxy’s most feared
fighting force—the Mandalorians! Along with a petty crook named Gryph and Elbee the grouchy droid,
Zayne is a passenger aboard the Last Resort, a renegade ship piloted by the senile genius Camper and
his fierce protector Jarael. Together, this motley crew will face kidnappings, hijackings, maniacal
scientists, Mandalorian traitors, bumbling bounty-hunting brothers, and a few really big explosions.
DAYS OF FEAR, NIGHTS OF ANGER
by John Jackson Miller, Brian Ching, Dustin Weaver, Harvey Tolibao, Michael Atiyeh, and Colin Wilson
Con artist Gryph sees the Mandalorian Wars as a chance to make a quick credit, but Zayne sees a
terrible tragedy on the horizon—one where only an act of self-sacrifice can save the ungrateful Republic! But the real key to the future of the galaxy may lie with none other than Zayne’s fellow fugitives,
the genius Camper and the beautiful Jarael, who have just fallen prey to the forces they’ve spent a
lifetime running from!

Mandalorians hostage, offering a weapon of unrivaled power to the highest bidder, and not even Zayne
and his former Master Lucien Draay can stop Adasca from unleashing unthinkable devastation in
pursuit of profit. Then, back on Taris, Zayne finds himself allied with Master Raana Tey in a mission
against the marauding Mandalorians—but Tey may be more interested in destroying Zayne than she
is in saving the planet!

both Imperial and New Republican will be raised to stop the marriage—at any cost! Written by
acclaimed Star Wars novelist Michael A. Stackpole (X-Wing Rogue Squadron; I, Jedi) and illustrated with photographic realism by Robert Teranishi, Union spotlights a monumental event in the

in a galaxy far, far away!
By Darko Macan, Dave Gibbons, and Angus McKie
With the destruction of the Death Star, the Rebel Alliance has struck a critical blow against
the forces of the Emperor. After Darth Vader’s narrow escape from the doomed battle station,
the Dark Lord is consumed with a desire to find the identity of the Force-strong young pilot who
fired the fatal shot. Vader’s Quest is a key, never-before-revealed link between A New Hope and
The Empire Strikes Back and features the first face-to-face encounter between Darth Vader and
Luke Skywalker.
by Iain McCaig, Warren Fu, Derek Thompson, and more
They’ve been responsible for some of the most dazzling and awe-inspiring visuals ever put to film,
and now the concept artists behind the Star Wars prequels are bringing their considerable talents to
comics. Just in time for Star Wars: Episode III, the wildly gifted minds of the Lucasfilm art department
and visual effects powerhouse Industrial Light & Magic come together to tell their own Star Wars tales
in this compilation of short stories. Given free reign to explore any and every aspect of the Star Wars
universe, each artist offers a new twist or a deeper view into that galaxy far, far away. Nowhere else
will you find a more pure or more different look at George Lucas’ enduring creation than through the
eyes of the Star Wars: Visionaries.

STAR WARS: ZAM WESELL
by Ron Marz and Ted Naifeh
Zam Wesell is everything you’d want in a girl: beauty, intelligence, style, the ability to strip and
assemble an EE-3 blaster rifle in less than six seconds . . . She really does have it all. It’s no wonder
that she has caught the eye of fellow bounty hunter, Jango Fett. Jango is going to need her help in
finding and destroying a powerful artifact that could prove to be very destructive if it fell into the wrong
hands. Though he isn’t usually this sentimental, he wants to make sure the galaxy is safe for his young
son. However, Zam’s motivations are not so noble.
