• Young expert assassin Suzume Satsujin is finally finding a purpose with her new friend
Dawn Brown, a grim reaper. Together, they take on the Joyless, violent spirits that threaten
the living. But when Suzume's killing rage gets the best of her, more than evil spirits may be
threatened. Meanwhile, Ricky Feeple is finding it difficult to deal with his new girlfriend,
fun-loving thief Sora Wakahishi, but when her "Grandpa Rumpy", actually the goblin
Rumplestiltskin, comes to claim her, things go from difficult to impossible. And when
Ricky's newest rival, the reincarnated master ninja Yuudai, attempts to tap four Celestial
Beasts for fantastic power, it conflicts with Rumplestiltskin's spell, turning all of Quagmire
into an RPG nightmare!

BRUCE CAMPBELL 12-INCH FIGURE
One of the most anticipated genre movie releases of the year is My Name Is Bruce, starring the
cult hero (or is that anti-hero?) Bruce Campbell. Campbell is abducted from his trailer-park home
to fight against Guan Di, a Chinese war deity. Thinking it all a joke, although thinking clearly is
not one of his strong suits in this picture, Mr. Campbell discovers that it all is real, much to his
shock and dismay. Mayhem ensues. The fully articulated doll is formed from a 3-D scan of
Campbell himself. Besides a custom fabric miniature version of his actual Hawaiian shirt, which
was loaned to us by Mr. Campbell, proving that he's the kind of partner who would "give you the
shirt off his back," an array of movie-specific accessories are included: Two miniature "angel" and
"devil" versions of Mr. Campbell that attach to his shoulders using hidden magnets; Shemps Olde
Tyme Whiskey; A Bruce collectible toy in melted package; Refreshing Lemon Drink bottle; A
miniature Chins book; and A big honkin' gun with price tag still attached.

CAGES
Best known for his collaborations with Neil Gaiman, Dave McKean defied expectations with his
stunning debut as writer and artist with Cages, the winner of multiple awards for Best Graphic
Album. Filled with complex characters, intriguing flights of fancy, and all the beautiful visuals
you'd expect from the director of MirrorMask, Cages is McKean's magnum opus. It chronicles the
intersecting lives of a painter, a writer, and a musician living in the same apartment building, and
is a profound rumination on art, God, cats, and the cages we build for ourselves.
Out of print for years, Cages is finally available in an affordable, new, softcover edition,
remastered and newly redesigned, with a brand-new cover by McKean.
KEY SELLING POINTS:
• Dave McKean lives and works in Kent, England. Since leaving the Berkshire College of Art and
Design (1982 to 1986) he has illustrated several award-winning comics (Arkham Asylum, Mr.
Punch, Signal to Noise, Sandman), written and illustrated an award-winning comic novel
(Cages), designed, illustrated, and photographed over 150 CD covers, and created imagery and
designs for major ad campaigns and magazines.
• "One of the most important works of comic art in the last decade." —The Comics Journal
• "[Cages] is compulsively readable, with a lyrical tone that moves the reader through the rougher,
more elusive passages as it strives at the very edge of the form's limitation." —Comic Foundry
Magazine
• "The finest comic being created today. Get it and see what heights narrative graphic art can
achieve." —The Fine Print

Ripped from the pages of Hellboy! Where greed and the occult walk hand-in-hand, where
mobsters and monsters prowl the streets, none escape the justice of Lobster Johnson! In the years
before World War II, Jonas Chapel was a respected physician, until his appetite for vice got the
best of him and he found himself on the run from one of New York's most powerful mob bosses.
On the lam in Mexico, Chapel stumbles across a powerful witch and a cursed skeleton — and the
power to transform men into monsters. Now, he's back in New York, selling his creations to the

the Lobster's resolve be enough to shut down Chapel's twisted Satan Factory — before New York
itself is consumed?

SOLOMON KANE VOLUME 1: THE CASTLE
OF THE DEVIL
Robert E. Howard's vengeance-obsessed adventurer begins his supernatural adventures in the
haunted Black Forest of Germany in this adaptation of Howard's "The Castle of the Devil." When
Solomon Kane stumbles upon the body of a boy hanged from a rickety gallows, he goes after the
man responsible — a baron feared by the peasants from miles around. Something far worse than
the devilish baron or the terrible, intelligent wolf that prowls the woods lies hidden in the ruined
monastery beneath the baron's castle, where a devil-worshiping priest died in chains centuries ago.
KEY SELLING POINTS:
• This team's debut Solomon Kane story is available for free at MySpace.com/DarkHorsePresents.

Scott Allie and Mario Guevara have done a stunning job. Unsettling, moody and eerily beautiful,
their Kane is absolutely worthy of his creator." — Kurt Busiek
• "With art and writing that perfectly captures the pulp weirdness of his birth, Solomon Kane
officially becomes the only Puritan I've ever been a fan of. Don't miss out on these weird tales,
you'll regret it." —Ed Brubaker Incognito

festered within the forest for many years. The Goon himself was drawn by the power of the curse,
but his soul is not consumed by this bleak place, and he discovers that he is the only hope for his
town. Goon's greatest foe, the dead mobster Labrazio, mounts his assault from a macabre

THE LIFE AND TIMES OF MARTHA
WASHINGTON IN THE TWENTY-FIRST
CENTURY
A masterpiece nearly twenty years in the making, this archival, oversized, and slipcased hardcover
volume contains the complete life story of Martha Washington, the twenty-first century freedom
fighter created by comic-book megastars Frank Miller (Sin City, 300) and Dave Gibbons
(Watchmen).
Our story begins in the squalid corridors of a maximum-security housing project, where a young
girl will rise from the war-torn streets of Chicago to battle injustice in a world insane with
corruption. Her fight will take her far, from the frontlines of the second American Civil War, to
the cold, unforgiving reaches of space. She will be called a hero, a traitor, and nearly everything in
between, but all along the way, her courage, her integrity, and her unwavering commitment to that
most valuable of rights — liberty — will inspire a movement that will never surrender!
KEY SELLING POINTS:
• Collecting meticulously remastered versions of every Martha Washington story, and featuring an
extensive behind-the-scenes section, a new introduction by Frank Miller and extensive
commentary by Dave Gibbons, this is the ultimate edition of a modern comics epic crafted by

TUROK TRADING CARDS
From ancient times to the present, we have been mystified, frightened, and inspired by dinosaurs.
Our fascination was perfectly captured in Dell's Turok: Son of Stone cover paintings, which
teamed American Indian warrior Turok with a variety of saurian adversaries. While these
renderings of dinosaurs were considered to be accurate in the 1950s and '60s, modern
paleontology has given us a new understanding of the reptile denizens of prehistory. Veteran
illustrator and dinosaur expert Pete Von Sholly has created an absolutely stunning series of trading
cards depicting the weirdest and most mysterious covers, with scientifically accurate dinosaurs,
effectively updating this classic genre with fifty new pieces. Text on the back of the card tells
details of the dinosaurs. This set will amaze and inform casual observers and serious Turok or
dinosaur buffs alike.

USAGI YOJIMBO VOLUME 23: BRIDGE OF
TEARS
The wandering life of a ronin is often a lonely one, and Usagi has been on that path a long time. A
temporary peace, staying with the merchant Endo and his daughter Hanaka, is interrupted by the
deadly League of Assassins, setting Usagi back on the road, but with the uncomfortable sensation
that he is being followed. Usagi's travels next take him to a town torn apart by street gangs
searching for a dead gang boss's stash of gold. While in town, Usagi meets Mayumi, who longs
for a new life away from the village and convinces Usagi to take her with him. As attraction
grows between them, Usagi faces a dilemma: can another join him on his path, or is the lifestyle
of a ronin too dangerous for Mayumi, especially as signs point to the return of Jei, the Black Soul?

nowhere, are trying to conquer it. King Attila has already pillaged and burned dozens of
planets without any legion being able to stop him or even slow him down. And
unfortunately for Rome — Kerka, the Hun's goddess of chaos herself — is back. But the Gods
have a taste for tragedy: Kerka has been reincarnated in the body of Flavia Aetia, a young
Roman girl. Is Flavia truly this macabre divinity? Is she the by-product of a terrifying plot?
Or is she only the victim of a terrible destiny?
• A free adaptation of Hun king Attila and the Roman general Flavius Aetius's confrontation,
Scourge of the Gods replays the eternal struggle between order and chaos on the galactic
level.

you have to look into Bishop's past — which actually means jumping 50 years into the future,
when his parents barely escaped a nuclear holocaust, only to land in the most brutal "mutant
relocation" camp in the world. There, a young Bishop first heard the horror stories about the
"green-eyed monster" that ushered in the downfall of mutantkind, and swore vengeance —
embarking on a life-long, time-hopping mission. Then, follow Cable and the seven-year-old
mutant messiah as they go deep into the future and find themselves in the middle of
humanity's last stand. Cable is forced to timeslide into an uncertain future, hoping to find
survivors, or food, or water... anything. But the longer Cable and the girl wander, the greater
the devastation. As they fight to survive out in the barren wastelands, the girl starts to ask
Cable the tough questions he's been dreading, namely: who am I, and why do some people
want me dead?

THE SURROGATES VOLUME 2: FLESH &
BONE
• In a dark, downtown alley in Central Georgia Metropolis, a juvenile prank goes too far and a
homeless man is killed. When the ensuing investigation reveals that the attackers aren't who
they appeared to be, justice depends on the testimony of a single missing witness — a street
snitch with a history of providing information to a cop named Harvey Greer. Harvey is
placed on special assignment to track down the informant, but others have their own
designs, including a wealthy socialite and an ex-con turned religious leader known to his
followers as The Prophet. As days pass and anger among the anti-surrogate population
grows, the city stands on a razor's edge. Will punishment be exacted in a courtroom or on
the streets?
• Set fifteen years prior to the events of the original Surrogates graphic novel, Flesh & Bone
sheds light on the past that binds the cast together. From the streets of Central Georgia
Metropolis to the boardroom of Virtual Self, Inc., Flesh & Bone takes us on a journey
through a city struggling to come to grips with its present. Not only a suspenseful thriller but
also a cautionary tale, this book reminds us that tomorrow will be determined by the choices
we make today.

CAPTAIN ACTION: THE ORIGINAL
SUPER-HERO ACTION FIGURE
• Captain Action, the original super-hero action figure, was introduced in 1966 in the wake of
the Batman TV show craze, and later received his own DC comic book with art by Wally
Wood and Gil Kane. Able to assume the identities of 13 famous super-heroes, his initial
career was short-lived, but continuing interest in the hero has led to two different returns to
toy-store shelves.
• Lavishly illustrated with over 200 toy photos, this second edition of the critically acclaimed
volume by author Michael Eury chronicles the history of this quick-changing champion,
including photos of virtually every Captain Action product ever released, spotlights on his
allies Action Boy and the Super Queens and his arch enemy Dr. Evil, an examination of his
comic-book appearances, and "Action facts" that even the most-diehard Captain Action fan
won't know!
• Features a foreword, cover image, and previously unseen package illustrations by Murphy
Anderson, as well as historical anecdotes by the late Gil Kane, Jim Shooter, Stan Weston
(co-creator of G.I. Joe, Captain Action, and Mego's World's Greatest Super-Heroes), and
Larry Reiner and Larry O'Daly, formerly of Ideal Toys, plus never-before-published and
classic Captain Action artwork by Gil Kane, Joe Staton, Carmine Infantino, Jerry Ordway,
Paul Gulacy, Mark Sparacio, Ruben Procopio, and Tom Yeates.
• This revised second edition also includes behind-the-scenes material covering Captain
Action's triumphant 2008 return to comics shelves in his new series from Moonstone Books,
and spotlights on the new wave of Captain Action collectibles.

MARVEL COMICS IN THE 1960S: AN
ISSUE-BY-ISSUE FIELD GUIDE TO A POP
CULTURE PHENOMENON
• After being relegated to the realm of children's literature for the first 25 years of its history,
the comic book industry experienced an unexpected flowering in the early 1960s. A
celebration of that emergence, Marvel Comics in the 1960s: An Issue-by-Issue Field Guide
to a Pop Culture Phenomenon presents a step-by-step look at how a company that had the
reputation of being one of the least creative in a generally moribund industry, emerged as
one of the most dynamic, slightly irreverent, and downright original contributions to an era
when pop-culture, from Tom Wolfe to Andy Warhol, emerged as the dominant force in the
artistic life of America.
• In scores of handy, easy-to-reference entries, Marvel Comics in the 1960s takes the reader
from the legendary company's first fumbling beginnings as helmed by savvy editor/writer
Stan Lee (aided by such artists as Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko), to the full maturity of its
wild, colorful, offbeat grandiosity. With the history of Marvel Comics in the 1960s divided
into four distinct phases, author Pierre Comtois explains just how Lee, Kirby, Ditko, et. al.
created a line of comic books that, while grounded in the traditional elements of
panel-to-panel storytelling, broke through the juvenile mindset of a low brow industry and
provided a tapestry of full-blown, pop-culture icons.
