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?

scribe Matt Spradlin, co-creator of True Believer for the Sci-Fi Channel and visual effects

EXURBIA
Gage Wallace's life falls apart when, after breaking up with his girlfriend and having a
heart-to-heart with his television set, he finds himself framed for blowing up his apartment
building — the latest in a string of deadly bombings in this doomed suburb. Neighboring Fat City
fell into the river during an earthquake eight years ago, and ever since, these hapless ex-urbanites
have been waiting for their own town to sink. But now their hopes are renewed by a talking rat,
whose drunken ramblings are taken as prophecy of a better time ahead. Gage finds himself
pursued by well-intentioned friends, bored kids who see Gage's plight as an extension of their
video-game fantasies, and the bloodthirsty Bald Suzie, a local firearms enthusiast whose brother
was killed in a recent explosion. Meanwhile, Gage's girlfriend uncovers the secret that plunged the
once-idealistic teen into his apathetic twenties, involving an anarchist cable-access show and its
mutant host — the hero and mentor that Gage betrayed and left to die at the hands of an angry mob.

effective, dramatic, and satisfying climax. It's like Scorsese's After Hours, reimagined by Terry
Gilliam — thoughtful, funny, involving, and human, all in its own off-kilter way." — Kurt Busiek

HARLEQUIN VALENTINE (2ND PRINTING)
In this modern hardcover retelling of a classic commedia dell'arte legend of tomfoolery and
hopeless, fawning love, creators Neil Gaiman (The Sandman, the Newbery Medal-winning The
Graveyard Book) and John Bolton (Evil Dead) update the relationship of Harlequin and
Columbine. A buffoon burdened with a brimming heart, Harlequin chases his sensible, oblivious
Columbine around the city streets, having given his heart freely. Consumed with love, the
impulsive clown sees his heart dragged about town, with a charming surprise to bend the tale in a
modern direction.
Gaiman's writing is poetic and as heartfelt as the subject matter. Bolton's art, a combination of
digitally enhanced photorealism and dynamic painting, provides sensational depth with bright
characters over fittingly muted backgrounds. Those who have spent Valentine's Day alone are
aware that the cold February holiday can be hard to swallow. Gaiman and Bolton want you to
know that all it takes is a steak knife, a fork, and a bottle of quality ketchup!
KEY SELLING POINTS:
• Neil Gaiman and John Bolton's romance classic is finally back in print!
• Neil Gaiman's Coraline was the basis of the hit motion picture of the same name
• According to BookScan figures, Neil Gaiman has sold over 3.5 million books in America, and
this doesn't even include the hundreds of thousands sold in the direct comics market!

HELLBOY LIBRARY EDITION VOLUME 3:
CONQUEROR WORM AND STRANGE
PLACES
Hellboy Library Edition Volume 3 collects three pivotal stories of Hellboy's journey, as he leaves
behind the world of men and journeys into the unknown: the award-winning Conqueror Worm,
which brings back some of Hellboy's earliest foes, in the story that ends his career with the
B.P.R.D., and marks his first run-in with the fan-favorite masked hero Lobster Johnson; the
haunting fairy tale The Third Wish; and The Island, a dark and surreal glimpse into the true origin
of the Right Hand of Doom and Hellboy's own destiny; along with a new, expanded sketchbook of
never-before-seen Mignola artwork.

collected in deluxe hardcover editions.

HELLBOY: THE ICE WOLVES
In Cancun, Mexico, police investigate a slaughter at a wedding ceremony. In Dublin, Ireland, the
clientele of a backstreet pub are found dead. In Kyoto, Japan, the bullet train pulls into the station
with blood-spattered windows. It is the time of the Black Sun. Across the world, the wolves are
calling to each other. Locked in bodies that had no idea they were there, they rise from the depths
of the unconscious and turn towards America! For Hellboy, it's a race against time to prevent a
devastating wave of primal savagery washing across the land. And so he is drawn to Boston's
Beacon Hill and the Grant Mansion, believed to be the most haunted house in New England,
where the truth may lie buried.

The stories are legendary, the characters unforgettable, the world horrible and disturbing. Howard
Phillips Lovecraft may have been a writer for only a short time, but the creations he left behind

centuries: the shambling god Cthulhu, and the other deities of the Elder Things, the Outer Gods,
and the Great Old Ones, and Herbert West, Reanimator, a doctor who unlocked the secrets of life
and death at a terrible cost. In Lovecraft Unbound, more than twenty of today's most prominent
writers of literature and dark fantasy tell stories set in or inspired by the works of H. P. Lovecraft.

MISERY OBSCURA: THE PHOTOGRAPHY OF
EERIE VON (1981-2006)
From the deepest depths of punk rock's 1970s primordial wastelands, through the stygian goth
swamps of the 1980s, and on into the bloodstained arenas of 1990s heavy metal, Eerie Von
witnessed it all. Beginning as the unofficial photographer for punk legends The Misfits and later
taking charge of the bass guitar as a founding member of underground pioneers Samhain and
metal gods Danzig, the evil eye of Eerie Von's camera captured the dark heart of rock's most vital
and bleeding-edge period, a time when rock and roll was not only dangerous, but downright
menacing. Eerie Von's lens has documented everything from The Misfits' humble beginnings in
Lodi, New Jersey, to the heights of Danzig's stadium-rock glory alongside metal superstars
Metallica. As well as an essential visual document of music history, Eerie's road stories of triumph
and damnation bring to life an era the likes of which will never again be seen.
KEY SELLING POINTS:
• An essential historical photographic document of some of the most influential bands of punk,
goth, and rock by Eerie Von.

rulers.

over nearly three decades. If you've ever wondered what this Groo character is all about, tried to

does for this book, wait no longer! Look upon Groo's works, ye mighty, and despair!

books of all-time. Next in line is The Arabian Nights!

on telling her tales incessantly. Endless tales, that start over and over again, words that flow
like a marvellous stream from the lips of Scheherazade. “But the caliph, or so it seemed,
wanted nothing more than to hear them, so she continued without awaiting his command.”

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.

balance of life and death for all creatures. But an ideological dispute pitted the noble
brotherhood against itself, where they destroyed themselves in a vicious civil war. Chaos

bringing anarchy to the night world of the Shadow Time. Karic soon learns of an ancient

his enemies, and a tool to be exploited by those seeking to use the savior of all for their own
schemes. And thus begins the first chapter in an extraordinary adventure of magic and
wonder, faith and valor, and of one small mouse whose destiny might change the entire
world.

DJURDJEVIC COVER
• In September, 1939 a new voice hit the newsstands and changed the comic-book world
forever: Marvel Comics #1, with its blazing Human Torch cover, had arrived! And this
64-page pulp package wasn't your typical assortment of super-powered, straight-laced,
do-gooders — this was something completely new. The amazing android creation of Dr.
Phineas Horton, the Human Torch was neither man nor hero — he was a blazing force of
nature that shocked and unsettled mankind. Prince Namor, the Sub-Mariner, the
half-human/half-Atlantean, ventures from his undersea kingdom into the world of man — not
with a mind set on peace, but towards vengeance! These two characters would form the
foundation for the style of conflicted hero that defines Marvel to this day, and you'll see
them evolve across twelve full issues from their raw forms into the battling fire and water
mega-hits of the Golden Age! Featuring an extensive essay on Marvel's pulp magazine
pre-history, publisher Martin Goodman, and the birth of Marvel Comics by noted historian
Will Murray, and topped off with special bonus features including original artwork and
items never seen since 1939, this collection forms the cornerstone of Marvel history
essential for every comic book fan, collector and historian!

things are stirring in England. In the service of Queen Elizabeth, court magician Dr. Stephen
Strange senses that the bizarre weather plaguing the skies above is not of natural origin. Her

to these unusual happenings before the whole world ends?

X-MEN NOIR GN
• "The coroner's men flipped the redheaded corpse over so Dukes and Magnus from Homicide
could get a better look at her. 'Better' being a relative term in this case, with the claw marks
that slashed her face into a featureless, bloody mask and turned her guts into a butcher shop
explosion." But the tattoo — the simple, encircled 'X' above the left shoulder blade —
remained intact, and Dukes pointed it out with the toe of his wingtip once Peter the rookie
was done heaving up lunch. "See this ink?" he said. "Means she did time at this reform
school upstate, run by this shrink, Xavier..."

HC
• The feral X-Man and the ragin' Cajun — as interpreted by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale, the
award-winning creators of Daredevil: Yellow, Superman: For All Seasons, and Batman:
Dark Victory!
• Warrior. Ronin. Soldier. Mutant. Logan knows little of his past, save that it was fraught with
pain and loss. Today, Wolverine is an X-Man — using his animal-keen senses, accelerated
healing factor, and razor-sharp claws to help protect a world that fears and hates mutants!
Always an outsider, Gambit was shunned as a youth because of his strange, burning-red
eyes. Eventually, Remy LeBeau realized he was a mutant, possessed of the ability to charge
inanimate objects with explosively released biokinetic energy. A reformed thief and
charming scoundrel, the ragin' Cajun always has a card up his sleeve! Now, these two
outlaw heroes have been drawn together by a string of brutal slayings that may mark the
return of the 19th-century serial killer called Jack the Ripper! Is it merely coincidence that
finds Remy and Logan in London, or does one of these enigmatic outsiders have an ulterior
motive?

FANTASY
THE TORCHWOOD ENCYCLOPEDIA
• Founded by Queen Victoria in 1879, the Torchwood Institute has been defending Great
Britain from the alien hordes for 130 years. Though London's Torchwood One was
destroyed during the Battle of Canary Wharf, the small team at Torchwood Three have
continued to monitor the space-time Rift that runs through Cardiff, saving the world and
battling for the future of the human race.
• Now you can discover every fact and figure, explore every crack in time, and encounter
every creature that Torchwood have dealt with. Included here are details of: The secret of
the Children of Earth; Operatives from Alice Guppy to Gwen Cooper; Extraterrestrial
visitors from Arcateenians to Weevils; The life and deaths of Captain Jack Harkness, and
much more. Illustrated throughout with photos and artwork from all three series, this A-Z
guide provides everything you need to know about Torchwood.

TORCHWOOD: CONSEQUENCES
• Agnes Haversham is awake, and Jack is worried (and not a little afraid). The Torchwood
Assessor is roused from her sleep in only the worst of times — it's happened just four times
in the last 100 years. Can the situation really be so bad? Someone, somewhere, is fighting a
war, and they're losing badly. The coffins of the dead are coming through the Rift. With
thousands of alien bodies floating in the Bristol Channel, it's down to Torchwood to round
them all up before a lethal plague breaks out. And now they'll have to do it by the book — the
1901 edition!
