• Johnny Mo has quit his job at the paper clip factory to fight giant, mutant chickens in a "cool

their baby. Even with the "help" of his decidedly un-cool ex-boss, Johnny's managed to take
out some of the top cocks of the walk... but soon enough it'll be time for the final showdown
with their leader, Clucky. Then the feathers are gonna fly!

DARK AXIS: RISE OF THE OVERMEN TP
• Dark Axis charts the secret conflicts of World War II and the rise of cutting-edge
technology that each of the Axis powers created to swing the balance of the war in their
favor. As Allied forces move deep into occupied Germany, Sgt. Bill Bryce leads a squad of
rookie soldiers on a scouting mission across an isolated mountain range, but soon discovers
all is not as it seems. The squad is quickly swept up in events as they engage an enemy
creating weapons that could change the course of human history forever if allowed to enter
the war... weapons that would surely put a crushing victory in the grasp of the Axis powers!
• From the twisted mind of horror director Greg Mclean, comes Dark Axis — a WWII action
adventure that tastes like a cross between Saving Private Ryan and Evil Dead featuring
secret Nazi weapons, terrifying monsters and machines, and the history of a sprawling, evil
conspiracy that almost changed the course of the war.

• Marlow is an ex-Marine caught in a dilemma impossible to solve: commit atrocious acts for
a global corporation in order to receive medicine that keeps him from reverting to a zombie
state, or walk away and suffer the fate of becoming some terrible creature. Struggling with
his fears of his affliction and the monster he might become, Marlow abandoned his wife and
young daughter, losing his dignity and freedom as he chose a nihilistic life. It is only during
this journey that Marlow realizes that perhaps by avoiding suffering he has become like the
zombies he so fears to become and that the only way out is to suffer his fate and become
one.
• Marlow is a zombie story inspired by Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness". It's about one
man's journey into the darkness of his soul, and his discovery that perhaps we're all zombies.

AFRIKA
Dark Horse proudly presents this gorgeously illustrated masterpiece by Belgian comics creator
Hermann, available in English for the first time!
A misanthropic European expatriate, Dario Ferrer, acts as guardian of a Tanzanian wildlife
preserve. Accompanied by Charlotte, a naive European journalist, Ferrer discovers a village under
fire from mysterious agents of the foreign-backed government. Ferrer and Charlotte must fight not
only to protect the preserve, but to expose government corruption — and survive to see another
day.
Born in 1938, Hermanns childhood was marked by WWII and the early need to earn a living on
his own. He tried various professions and studied fine arts in Belgium, but he didn't get into comic
books until later in life when his first story was published in a magazine. In 1979 he started his
first solo volume, Jeremiah, which he continues publishing today. He is known to be a
hard-working, demanding writer constantly attempting new things. His works include Comanche
and Towers of Bois-Maury among others.
KEY SELLING POINTS:
• Action and intrigue from award-winning creator Hermann.
• Hermann's works are international bestsellers.
• Gorgeous watercolor art and a fast-paced, violent story appeal to enthusiasts of European
graphic storytelling.
• Dario Ferrer is unlike any action hero you've ever seen before!

ART OF MOLLY CRABAPPLE VOLUME 1:
WEEK IN HELL
• In September 2011 artist and firebrand, Molly Crabapple, locked herself in a hotel room,
covered the walls in paper, and filled 270 square feet of wall with art. The project, called
"Molly Crabapple's Week in Hell," is a wild ride through the imagination of an artist
stretching herself to the limits of her endurance. Gorgeous photographs by Steve Prue show
Ms. Crabapple's sheer talent, audacity, and ambition at work. From the first stroke of pen
upon paper to the glorious 360-degree view of a room full of art, this book chronicles the
trials and joys of the Week in Hell, including visits from some of New York City's artistic
luminaries, absinthe parties, live models, and musical accompaniment. The project was
funded by a successful Kickstarter campaign which garnered 745 backers who watched the
whole week unfold in live webcasts with the artist, following Molly Crabapple into the
madness of art.

FRAZETTA — FUNNY STUFF
• Frank Frazetta! He's been rightfully called "The Grand Master of Fantasy Art"! But, it's little
known that Frazetta also conquered other worlds in the Golden Age of Comics, as shown in
his Donald Duck-ish funny animal and hilarious hillbilly comic book stories. Even those
aware of this wonderful Frazetta art don't know the extent — this book is a whopping 256,
large-format pages! Did we mention ferocious, terrifying wolves and swampland creatures
in the plethora of animal stories illustrations as only Frazetta could draw them? There's also
lions and tigers and bears — oh my! — before Frazetta's famous paintings captured the same
subjects. But wait, there's more! You'll see the roots of the Frazetta Girl in the sexy Kathy
teenage girl adventures and the hot Daisy Mae-look-alike, Clarabelle, in the hillbilly hi-jinks
stories of her beau, Looey Lazybones (Holy Li'l Abner!).
• The introduction is by famed cartoon director Ralph Bakshi, who closely worked with
Frazetta when they co-produced the animated feature film, Fire and Ice. Bakshi shares rare
insights, anecdotes, photos, and Frazetta drawings, and created a special painting of Frazetta
and himself as funny animals for this beautiful hardcover, full-color coffee table book!

ON A ROLL
• An enterprising kid from the Bronx, Howard had one simple — but smart — idea that
revolutionized
telecommunications.
He
pioneered
what
is
now
an
over-a-billion-dollar-a-year-industry, successfully fought off AT&T's aggressive attempts to
pull the plug on his operation — then took his own start-up company public, to net over $100
million for himself. And it all began with a hot dog stand, as Jonas relates in this
effervescent account of how he became the milionaire nextdoor.

• "The living haunt the dead..." These fifteen genre-bending stories are set against a backdrop
of sudden violence and profound regret, populated by characters whose circumstances and
longings drive them to the point of no return... and sometimes even further. A young girl
takes a journey to see what is really hidden within the belly of an ancient water tower. A
high school senior learns about defiance on a school bus and witnesses a tragedy that he
won't soon forget. Six survivors in an underground bunker discuss the possibility of
Armageddon being an elaborate hoax. Two brothers take a walk on the dark side of the
wheat field and discover that some bonds are stronger than death. And in the title story, a
former train conductor must confront the ghosts of his past while learning that it's not the
dead who haunt the living, but the other way around.
• Traversing the back roads of the south and beyond, these stories probe the boundaries of
imagination, taking the reader to the fringes of a society where the world looks different,
and once you visit, you won't ever be the same.

SHOEBOX TRAIN WRECK
• The sultan Bokhari Al-Bokhari of Bessa has 365 concubines — until a violent coup puts the
city in the hands of the religious zealot Hakkim Mehdad. Hakkim has no use for the
pleasures of the flesh: he condemns the women first to exile — and then to death! Cast into
the desert, the concubines must rely on themselves and each other to escape from the new
sultan's fanatical pursuit. But their goals go beyond mere survival: with the aid of the
champions who emerge from among them, they intend to topple the usurper and retake
Bessa from the repressive power that now controls it. The assassin, Zuleika, whose hands
are weapons. The seer, Rem, whose tears are ink. The wise Gursoon, who was the dead
sultan's canniest advisor. The camel-thief, Anwar Das, who offers his lying tongue to the
concubines' cause. Together, they must forge the women of the harem into an army, a
seraglio of steel, and use it to conquer a city. But even if they succeed, their troubles will
just be beginning — because their most dangerous enemy is within their own number...

THE SPIDER: SLAUGHTER, INC.
AND BLUE SKIES FROM PAIN
• It's November of 1977: The punk rock movement is a year old and the brutal thirty-year war
referred to as “The Troubles” is escalating. According to Irish tradition, the month of
November is a time for remembrance of the dead. Liam Kelly, in particular, wishes it were
otherwise. Born a Catholic in Londonderry/Derry, Northern Ireland, Liam, a former
wheelman for the Provisional IRA, is only half mortal. His father is Bran, a puca — a
shape-shifting, ghostlike creature — and a member of the ancient Fíanna. Liam must dodge
both the Royal Ulster Constabulary, who want him for the car bombing that killed Constable
Haddock, and the Provisional IRA, who want him for the deaths of Éamon Walsh and
several others found ripped apart in a burned down farmhouse in Armagh. Fortunately for
Liam, both the Ulster Constabulary and the Provisional IRA think he's dead. On the other
hand, the Militis Dei — a group of Roman Catholic priest-assassins, whose sole purpose is to
dispose of fallen angels and demons found living on this earth — is very aware that Liam is
alive, and very aware of his preternatural parentage. With the help of his unlikely ally Father
Murray — a Militis Dei operative who has known Liam since childhood — he must convince
the Church that he and his fey brethren aren't demonic in origin, and aren't allied with The
Fallen.

her favorite biker bar, she first had to ditch her beloved Harley in a swimming pool, and
then the weird, glowing gadget she found in the cave in which she decided to hide appears to
have transported her to another planet... a planet with a Tidy Bowl-blue sky, a fat orange
sun, and bizarre blue shrubbery. A planet where Jane encounters a gang of nearly naked
purple men in gold cloaks beating the crap out of a bunch of other nearly naked purple men
in red cloaks. A planet rife with slavery, feudalism, monsters, pirates, and priests. What's a

Lugorix and Matthias, smuggle a Persian noblewoman out of Alexander's clutches and help
her escape to Athens, where they ally with the legendary orator Demosthenes. Alexander
has become convinced by the Oracle at Siwah that he is the son of Zeus — a demigod — and
he plots to destroy the Athenian Empire, whose capital is an impregnable fortress protected
by ship-patrolled moats, steam-driven catapults, and flamethrowers. But Alexander has his
own magicians who harness all manner of strange devices of war — powered by fire, water,
and gears — in the pursuit of victory. And now the philosopher-scientist Aristotle has made a
discovery that could determine the course of the war: the location of the magical artifacts
that were sunk beyond the Pillars of Hercules more than a thousand years before, in the lost
city of Atlantis. But the secret that Atlantis holds was buried for a reason...

THE BEST SCIENCE FICTION AND
FANTASY OF THE YEAR VOLUME 6
• Surrounded by the aura of magic, witches have captured our imagination for millennia and
fascinate us now more than ever. No longer confined to the image of a hexing old crone,
witches can be kindly healers and protectors, tough modern urban heroines, holders of
forbidden knowledge, sweetly domestic spellcasters, darkly domineering, sexy
enchantresses, ancient sorceresses, modern Wiccans, empowered or persecuted, possessors
of supernatural abilities that can be used for good or evil — or perhaps only perceived as
such. Welcome to the world of witchery in many guises: wicked, wild, and wonderful!
