FALL 2009 CATALOG
Products with Release Date from September – December 2009
Welcome to the
DBD Fall 2009 Catalog!
Since 2001, Diamond Book Distributors has been dedicated to making
a wide selection of graphic novels and other pop culture collectibles
available to the mainstream book market. Since joining DBD, it has been
my pleasure to witness the tremendous growth of the graphic novel market—and we continue
to flourish even in these challenging economic times.
This past year has seen increased exposure for graphic novels in the literary world, with the
New York Times introducing a new Graphic Books Bestsellers list and one of our very own
titles, TOON Books’ Stinky, receiving a prestigious Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor. We are seeing
graphic novels with a variety of subjects and styles emerge to suit the diverse tastes of an
expanding audience. We have seen tremendous growth in graphic novels for children, while
the range of material for adults has never been better. What a great time to be selling graphic
novels!
This fall’s offerings represent an exciting array of new titles and projects. Upcoming titles to
watch out for include the continuation of Dark Horse Comics’ hit series The Umbrella
Academy with Volume 2: Dallas by Gerard Way, lead singer of My Chemical Romance, and
fan favorite artist Gabriel Bá. IDW is releasing the first volume of Bloom County Complete
Library, an ambitious project to collect the entire run of Berkley Breathed’s immensely popular
newspaper strip in a series of beautifully designed hardcover books. Marvel Comics will be
following the success of the widely anticipated movie X-Men Origins: Wolverine with
Wolverine: Old Man Logan, collecting the hit series by Mark Millar and Steve McNiven. Fans
who have long wondered after the iconic mutant’s mysterious past will thrill to the story of his
equally mysterious and action-packed future.
We invite you to take a look at these, and many other titles to suit all tastes, in the pages that

BAD KIDS GO TO HELL
• A construction crew unearths a primal, supernatural force when they

break ground for a new, commemorative library for Crestview
Academy, a prestigious Midwestern prep-school and home to the
spoiled offspring of the city’s social elite. Three years later, six of
Crestview’s richest (and hottest) students are brought together early one
Saturday for detention inside the newly completed library. Bored, the
kids talk about their school’s infamous “dark presence,” and goad one
another into a half-hearted seance. However, the joke turns deadly when
they rouse an angry spirit, and start to die, one-by-one, in horrible accidents! Yet, as the kids drop like flies, are the murders really the work of
an evil phantom, or has one of these six spoiled brats secretly conspired
to bring them all together for detention in order to “level” the social
playing field and do away with the competition?
The Breakfast Club meets The Grudge in this sexy, dark, comedythriller mini-series from scribe Matt Spradlin, co-creator of True
Believer for the Sci-Fi Channel and visual effects coordinator for X-Men
2 and Beowulf, and hot new comic artist Anthony Vargas!

finally musters up the courage to present him with a love letter,
though, Naoki outright refuses it, telling her point blank — with
a look of disgust and boredom — that he doesn’t like “stupid
girls.” Poor Kotoko’s worst nightmare!

across the old west. Traveling by moonlight they rip criminals
screaming for mercy from their hiding places, but none is ever
given. The Irons are the most feared bounty hunting killers in the
west, but that fear isn’t based on them being the fastest with a pistol or rifle. It’s because they’re the Walking Dead! A lone, tortured soul tracks them with vengeance and salvation driving him
to end the curse upon his family. Those who he rescues call him
savior but those who look upon his twisted and scarred face call
him monster. Silas Irons is the only hope his brothers and sister
have of salvation from the abominations they’ve become. But
even the purity of his heart can’t stop the unnatural rage and
bloodlust building in his diseased soul. A black curse turned these
siblings into monsters but deep rooted and twisted family history
made them into the worst kind of horrors.
This year’s biggest supernatural western tale begins here!
Written by James Kuhoric (Freddy vs Jason vs Ash), illustrated
by Jason Alexander (BPRD), and based on character designs
and covers by Jae Lee (The Dark Tower).

DESPERATE TIMES

GROOM LAKE
• The truth is out… er, under there? In the remote
•
Nevada desert there sits a dry lakebed called Groom
Lake, and under that land resides a secret base that
holds all the secrets of the world. Not this world,
either. Karl Bauer’s father disappeared on him a year
ago, but he didn’t just “go out for cigarettes” in the
usual way of abandoning his kid. Turns out his father
was an alien abductee who was sent back with
altered DNA that has forever changed Karl’s life, too.
Karl is drawn — okay, taken — to a secret base
under Groom Lake in Nevada where he’s drawn into
a plot to weaponize alien technology in the form of a
new Manhattan Project. Karl, who is befriended by a
cynical female worker and a group of unpredictable
aliens, leads an escape from the base even while
closely pursued by a worldwide organization that
will kill to preserve the greatest secret in (in-)human
history. There’s nowhere on the planet to hide and
beyond even that, Karl faces the twin threats of his
altered DNA and a group of aliens whose true motivations are otherworldly, to say the least.
Writer Chris Ryall and artist Ben Templesmith
present a tale of abductions and probings, conspiracies and secrets.

campaign whose purpose is an enigma to him?
Crogan won’t have much time to consider his options
as he’s besieged by the armies of the infamous
Tuaregs, under attack from desert raiders, beat down
by the relentless heat, and trapped in a cave with a
mysterious and terrible creature who is picking off
the people in his party, one-by-one. Luckily, he won’t
have to go it alone! He’s but one man in a rag-tag
group of hardened fighters, all under the command of
a brutally strict sergeant and a dashing captain who
may be too brave for his own good…
Return to the adventure-prone exploits of Chris
Schweizer’s not-so-famous fictional family with this

ALEC: THE YEARS HAVE PANTS
(A LIFE-SIZE OMNIBUS)
• For the first time ever, the pioneering autobiographical comics
•
•
•
of master cartoonist Eddie Campbell (From Hell) are collected
in a single volume!
Brilliantly observed and profoundly expressed, the ALEC stories present a version of Campbell’s own life, filtered through
the alter ego of “Alec MacGarry.” Over many years, we witness
Alec’s (and Eddie’s) progression “from beer to wine” — wild
nights at the pub, existential despair, the hunt for love, the quest
for art, becoming a “responsible breadwinner,” feeling lost at
his own movie premiere, and much more! Eddie’s outlandish
fantasies and metafictional tricks convert life into art, while
staying fully grounded in his own absurdity.
This Life-Size Omnibus edition of ALEC includes all the stories
from The King Canute Crowd, Three-Piece Suit, How to be an
Artist, and After the Snooter, as well as the very early, out-ofprint ALEC stories and a staggering amount of bonus material.

• Top Shelf is proud to welcome Kathryn and Stuart Immonen to
the Top Shelf family with this very intimate story set in World
War II while the Nazis were pillaging much of Europe’s great
art collections. Moving Pictures is the story of curator Ila
Gardner and officer Rolf Hauptmann’s disconcerting and dangerous private relationship that plays out in a public power
struggle in which both are obligated by their jobs and their
natures to participate. It unfolds along two timelines which collide with the revelation of a terrible secret, an enigmatic decision
that not many would make and the realization for both characters
that sometimes the only choice left is the refusal to choose.
THE MARSHAL LAW OMNIBUS
• “Some of them think ‘cause they’re superheroes they’re above the law.
•
It’s my job to change their thinking. Sometimes this can prove fatal.” In
a twisted, decadent future not so far away, the city once called San
Francisco is now a war zone. The government has commissioned living
weapons of mass destruction to wage war on terror. The survivors return
home broken, bitter, insane — and almost unstoppable! Some form
gangs, some go psycho. Some turn into A-list celebrities with A-bomb
fists. Only one man knows the dark secrets these so-called “heroes” are
hiding. Only one man has the power to take on America’s best and
brightest and bring them to justice. His eyes will reflect the rocket’s red
glare. He is the twilight’s last gleaming. He is… MARSHAL LAW!
At long last, Top Shelf presents a revolutionary epic over twenty years in
the making: The Marshal Law Omnibus, a super-deluxe, one-volume,
full-color, 512-page definitive collection of the groundbreaking series by
British comics legends Pat Mills (Judge Dredd) and Kevin O’Neill

Heaney is a man well acquainted with
demons. Not his broken family — his wife has left
him for a celebrity chef, his snobbish teenaged son
despises him, and his daughter’s new boyfriend
resembles Nosferatu — nor his drinking problem,
nor his unfulfilling government job, but real demons.
For demons are real, and William has identified one
thousand five hundred and sixty-seven smoky figures, dwelling on the shadowy fringes of human life,
influencing our decisions with their sweet and poisoned voices.
After a series of seemingly unconnected personal
encounters — with a beautiful and captivating
woman met in the company of an infuriating poet, a
troubled and damaged veteran of Desert Storm with
demons of his own, and an old school acquaintance
with whom he shared a mystical occult ritual —
William Heaney’s life is thrown into a direction he
does not fully comprehend. Past and present collide.
Long-dormant choices and forgotten deceptions surface. Secrets threaten to become exposed. To weather the changes, William Heaney must learn one thing:
how to make friends with demons.

QUEEN OF HEARTS
• One question remains: Did it begin or end in theft? His mother,
taken before memory, his father, disappeared in the Manor
where Asriael rules, home of the Great Game, where lives are
antes and countries divided by mere hands, where the deed to
the Slants was bet and lost so many years ago. The underground
wizards of the Slants had trained Renue in the high arts, as an
expert in disguise, a deadly fighter, a daring card player. His
mission was to infiltrate the Manor and win back the deed so
that Asriael’s dark magic could finally be unraveled and the
people freed. But inside the Manor, Renue meets a mysterious
young woman called the Queen of Hearts who seems to hold the
secrets to his parents’ fate. When Asriael is murdered and the
mission betrayed, Renue and the Queen must flee the Manor,
the Black Thing on their trail. As the other great lords vie for
power, amid chaos and war, Renue must protect the Queen
while they search for an ancient magic to end the nightmare of
Asriael’s black revenge.

• Dark horror stalks the streets of Carrion Hill, the strangest and
•
most debased city in the star-crossed gothic horror kingdom of
Ustalav. Following the once-forgotten instructions of an ancient
eldritch ritual, a cabal of villains conjured up a creature of terrible power in the ruined catacombs of the city. Putting a stop to
the abomination means dealing with the cabal one by one, from
its weakest devotee to its most potent dark master.
A dark urban horror adventure for 5th-level Pathfinder
Roleplaying Game characters, Carrion Hill brings Lovecraftian
horror to the game table and irreparable psychic damage to your
player characters.
• Carrion
Hill is the second official adventure for the new
Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, the next evolution in fantasy
gaming that featured more than 50,000 playtesters and is the
most hotly anticipated tabletop RPG release of 2009.
