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.

HOWARD LOVECRAFT AND
THE UNDERSEA KINGDOM
• Howard Lovecraft’s family has been imprisoned on a far-flung
alien planet, and Spot’s hopelessly captured, slowly becoming a
mindless Fishman. Accompanied by his insane father, a pistolpacking constable, and his hungry cat, they must face the allpowerful ruler of the Outer Gods, a vengeful ancient enemy, an

JAN-JUN 2012
• 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.
NIEVES

Malkoth’s corrupting influence forces the ice elves to free him.
The only one that stands against him is Nieves!
REDFOOT
• Saturday mornings spent watching cartoons with a bowl of
Choco Puffs are history — now that Jake has superpowers!

former best friend and ex-girlfriend are less-than-pleased to see
him. But his day takes a turn for the apocalyptic when everyone

For
half-Native American Minx, this is not superstition — it is reality. Once a struggling young artist in New York City, Minx’s life
is changed forever after suffering a vicious attack and slipping
into a coma. But she doesn’t wake in the same world she left;
rather, she finds herself in Dreamtime, the alternate reality that
humans inhabit when they sleep. With this transition comes
great revelation and profound responsibility as Minx evolves
into a sophisticated warrior, charged with protecting people
from a complex agenda that seeks to transform nightmares into
realities, and realities into nightmares. But Minx’s role as vigilante is not born from random coincidence: it is the result of an
elaborate conspiracy, an ancient prophecy, and devastating
betrayal.
Featuring the full Minx storyline, plus tons of extras and an
exclusive Minx sketch by David Mack.

ALIENS: FAST TRACK TO HEAVEN
Deep beneath the ice of Jupiter’s moon Europa, life
teems in the depths of dark oceans fed by belching,
chemical-rich volcanic vents. But more spectacular discoveries of life elsewhere in the cosmos have left
Europa little more than another commercial stopover
with an orbital station and a decaying space elevator
ferrying cargo and personnel to and from the moon. But
when one of the massive elevators stops midway with
no communication from the crew aboard, a rescue team
soon discovers that the stranded elevator is transporting
a deadly cargo from another world — a savage organism that threatens life on Europa and, ultimately, life on
planet Earth!

the souls of Hell have escaped to possess the living,

return them to the fires of Hell!

the city and the fate of its masked savior.

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, Hermann’s 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.

the explorer; Eno Orez, the Man of 1,000 Faces, and
Cosmo Quinn, the human fly — were each disgraced or
disappeared into obscurity. Now a series of strange

skywriter brings the four men together once again,
some on the side of the law, some involved in shady
business, with explosive results!

acclaimed filmmakers John Moore (Max

John Doe.
It’s the last days of World War One — the Great War.
On an obscure patch of mud, a small company of
American soldiers fights to the last man against a
powerful German offensive. John Doe is the only
American survivor of the attack. He wanders alone
for days amongst the maze of trenches and blast
holes. Shellshocked, badly wounded, and without
food or medicine, he is lost. Through a twist of
events, Donner is transformed into a creature of
unthinkable power, a monster that pledges he will
avenge the deaths of his fallen comrades, not only on
the muddy battlefields of WWI, but across the generations to the slaughter-fields of the “War on Terror.”
But Donner’s actions have not gone unnoticed, and
he will soon face an enemy from a place he could
never have contemplated.

Robbins’ masterpiece, one of the all-time greatest
action/adventure newspaper comic strips, Johnny Hazard, is
back! When Johnny Hazard first saw newsprint it was near the
end of the Second World War. The first storyline in the feature
finds Johnny escaping from a Japanese prisoner of war camp by
stealing an enemy airplane. From there his adventures were
packed with never-ending action, Veronica Lake-esque women,
and classic bad guys. Now you can see it all from the beginning,
complemented by the work of one of the master artists of the
comic strip medium, Frank Robbins.

of a life like the movies meets the world’s greatest
secret agent, he’ll discover the reality of spycraft is
far deadlier and more explosive than any movie he
could imagine — and he now has a starring role!

Wm. Kaluta has been creating beautiful
imagery for more than 40 years. Highlights of his
career include what many consider to be the definitive version of The Shadow, the still in-progress
Starstruck, and a myriad of stunning covers illustrated for nearly every comics publisher — as well as
being part of the legendary STUDIO (along with
Jeffery Catherine Jones, Barry Windsor-Smith, and
Bernie Wrightson). This sketchbook is the first in a

spark to more finished concepts and nearly completed works. Each image has been scanned from
Kaluta’s personal sketchbooks and archives, and is

TRANSFORMERS : EVOLUTIONS HEARTS OF STEEL (2012 EDITION)
• Long before finding the AllSpark on Earth, or defeating the
•
Fallen, or being discovered in the Dark of the Moon, the
Autobots and Decepticons were influencing the American
Industrial Revolution. Or, at least, that’s what writer Chuck
Dixon and artist Guido Guidi would have you believe in
Evolutions: Hearts of Steel.
Young inventor Tobias Muldoon didn’t impress Mr. Twain or
Mr. Verne with his submarine prototype, but his dreams of finding financing and support to build fantastic machines comes to
pass with the help from some unlikely supporters —
Starscream, Shockwave, and a host of Decepticons. Meanwhile,
Bumblebee is the lone Autobot roused from stasis by a small
group of combatants hidden below ground for millennia. But
time has greatly changed the surface of the planet they once
waged war upon, and the wheels of progress have brought
industry. Soon Bumblebee will befriend a human — a man
named John Henry — and begin a frantic lesson in living
amongst humans during the Industrial Revolution. A lesson that
will teach both Autobots and Decepticons not to underestimate
the power of man.

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! 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! Frazetta

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 adventures of the Starship Enterprise continue in this new
story that picks up where the blockbuster 2009 film left off!
Featuring the new cast of the film, these missions re-imagine
the stories from the original series in the alternate timeline created by the film, along with new threats and characters never
seen before! With creative collaboration from Star Trek
writer/producer Roberto Orci, this new series begins the countdown to the much-anticipated movie sequel premiering in 2012!
• The historic comic book roots of The Transformers are re-pre•
sented for maximum Cybertronian enjoyment. Collecting issues
from the original run, rejoin Optimus Prime, Megatron, and
their competing factions as their war stretches across the cosmos.

after retiring Bloom County — and at the peak of its

Outland continues on in the same traditions set forth

than 280 Sunday pages, all in fully remastered color,

an added bonus, this volume will have a selection of
the extremely rare Academia Waltz, the college strip
Breathed did as a precursor to Bloom County!

• The sheen of Hollywood’s Rome is blasted away for
•
this gritty, unflinching tale of an unsung commander
in Caesar’s Legions. In 52 BCE Gaul, Caesar’s
forces lay siege to the barbarian stronghold of Alesia
in one of the biggest battles in history; nearby, another barbarian army prepares to attack the Romans
from behind, led by the rebel Cammius, who once
fought for Rome. Caesar dispatches his greatest general, Caius Rodius, to track through the untamed
countryside and bring back the rebel’s head. Who
better to hunt Cammius than the man who taught him
the very skills he now uses to defy Rome? Torn
between duty and friendship, Rodius questions
whether the Roman “road of stone and blood” is a
path he still wants to follow.

• It’s not easy drawing Dojin manga to make money on the side,
and that’s exactly what Najimi is learning...and she’s not alone.
There are literally thousands of artists trying to make a buck,
and many of them suck just as bad as Najimi. Enter Kaneru —
a rival artist who’s so deluded she thinks she’s better than
Najimi...unfortunately she’s awful, too! They have to find a way
to bring attention to their books...but what could possibly draw
the Otaku in?
DOUJIN WORK VOLUME 3
• It takes a lot of work and dedication to make dojinshi manga —
•
unfortunately, Najimi is in denial and decides to go to the beach
and blow off all her deadlines. She’s in her own world and is
undeservedly acting like a diva. But it takes a lot more than selling 30 copies to become a manga superstar!
Read all about the seedy, scary, nerdy underworld of fan-made
comics in Volume 3 of Dojin Work!
DOUJIN WORK VOLUME 4
• Inside her heart, Najimi is confident that she can make money
with manga. Perhaps if she just prints enough copies, her enthusiasm and spirit, alone, will sell the books. She’ll do it, and with
her friends at her side — Justice, Sora, Kaneru and Hoshi —
she’ll succeed…or, at least, she’ll be surrounded by friends
when she fails!

She’s never been particularly attracted to the boys at
her school, no matter how much her best friend, Vee,
pushes them at her. Not until Patch came along. With
his easy smile and eyes that seem to see inside her,
Nora is drawn to him against her better judgment.
But after a series of terrifying encounters, Nora’s not
sure who to trust. Patch seems to be everywhere she
is, and to know more about her than her closest
friends. She can’t decide whether she should fall into
his arms or run and hide. And when she tries to seek
some answers, she finds herself near a truth that is
way more unsettling than anything Patch makes her
feel. For Nora is right in the middle of an ancient battle between the immortal and those that have fallen
— and, when it comes to choosing sides, the wrong
choice will cost her life!

• In 1487, Heinrich Kramer and Jacob Sprenger wrote
•
the Malleus Maleficarum, the premiere manual for
exposing, capturing, prosecuting, and burning witches used by every right-thinking European magistrate
of the late middle ages. Cartoonist Mike Rosen has
adapted this warm and uplifting tome which fueled a
wave of witch-hunting that lasted for nearly two centuries and cost nearly 60,000 people (mostly women)
their lives.
The adaptation’s tongue-in-cheek tone exposes a
kind of paranoid thinking which exists to this day in
some circles and answeres all of those nagging eternal questions; Do witches kill newborn babies for use
in their rituals? Can they turn men into beasts? Can
they steal mens’ penises, collecting them in great
numbers, to hide in, say, a bird’s nest up in a tree,
where they then move around like squiggly phallic
snakes and eat corn and oats? Finally, most importantly, do witches have sexual relations with devils?
How do they have sexual relations with devils? And
could we hear some more about these sexual relations with devils? Nothing makes for a fun read like
torture, murder, infanticide, and disembodied penises! Always fun and educational.

Yet, few of today’s comic book fans know of the

look at the prolific Golden Age publisher which
spawned a treasure trove of beautiful art and classic
characters, including the modern-day “Freedom
Fighters” — Uncle Sam, Phantom Lady, Black
Condor, The Ray, Human Bomb, and Doll Man — as
well as Plastic Man, the Blackhawks, and others now
under the DC Comics umbrella. It provides the firstever A-Z, in-depth character profile of every Quality
costumed hero, many of whom were superbly-produced but are now long-forgotten. It also reprints, in
full-color, several 1940s key stories of these characters from such rare 1940s collector’s items as Smash
Comics, Police Comics, National Comics, Feature
Comics, and Crack Comics, and features Golden Age
art by the top artistic talents of that era, including
Lou Fine, Reed Crandall, Jack Cole, Chuck Cuidera,
Matt Baker, Will Eisner, and others! Creators who
were instrumental in the revival of the Quality characters from the 1970s to today are also interviewed,
including Roy Thomas, Len Wein, and Jimmy
Palmiotti.

• “The living haunt the dead...” These fifteen genre-bend-
•
ing 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.

• The sultan Bokhari Al-Bokhari of Bessa has 365 concu-
bines — 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...

ISON OF THE ISLES
• Revolution has broken out in the Forsaken Isles. The
•
islanders have risen up to drive out the Inning
Empire, but still they have no one to unite them.
Only an Ison can do that — a leader whose heart has
been cleansed by the curing of dhota-nur. The power
to create an Ison lies in the hands of three people, and
none of them are heroes. Spaeth has the ancient
Lashnura heritage, but does she have the stature?
Harg has the military genius, but he utterly rejects the
price of dhota-nur. And Nathaway, the Inning outsider, finds himself unexpectedly holding the key to
the future of the Isles. Perilously poised between
Inning conquest and the savage powers of ancient
forces, the Forsakens need them to decide. But for an
Ison to rise, each of them must betray one of the others.
Ison of the Isles continues the story started in Isles of
the Forsaken.

name humanity has given to the unknown, seemingly
invincible alien ship that has begun to harass the newly
emergent Commonwealth. 300 years earlier, the same
ship destroyed the Sakhran Empire, allowing the
Commonwealth to expand its sphere of influence. But
now Faith has returned! The ship is as devastating as
before, and its attacks leave some Commonwealth solar
systems in chaos. Eventually it reaches Sakhra, now an
important Commonwealth possession, and it seems like
history is about to repeat itself. But this time, something
is waiting: an Outsider, one of the Commonwealth’s ultimate warships. Slender silver ships, full of functionality
and crewed by people of unusual abilities, often
sociopaths or psychopaths, Outsiders were conceived in
back alleys, built and launched in secret, and commissioned without ceremony. One system away from earth,
the Outsider ship Charles Manson makes a stand.
Commander Foord waits with his crew of miscreants
and sociopath, hoping to accomplish what no other
human has been able to do — to destroy Faith!

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.

Alexander the Great’s victorious forces bear down
upon the Nile delta. At the behest of a Zoroastrian
witch, two soldiers of fortune, 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 shippatrolled 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...
Action, conquest, and steam-powered war machines
come to life in Pillars of Hercules, the epic alternatesteampunk-history novel from David Constantine.

AGATHA H. AND
THE CLOCKWORK PRINCESS
• Intrigue! Subterfuge! Circus Folk! In a time when the
•
•
Industrial Revolution has escalated into all-out warfare, mad science rules the world… with mixed success.
With the help of Krosp, Emperor of All Cats, Agatha
has escaped from the massive airship known as
Castle Wulfenbach. After crashing their escape dirigible, Agatha and Krosp fall in with Master Payne’s
Circus of Adventure, a traveling troupe of performers
dedicated to staging Heterodyne shows — dramatizations of the exploits of Bill and Barry Heterodyne
and their allies — who are unaware of Agatha’s connection to the Heterodyne line.
Pursued by the ruthless Baron Klaus Wulfenbach, his
handsome son Gil, and their minions (not to mention
Othar Tryggvassen, Gentleman Adventurer), Agatha
hides in plain sight among the circus folk, servicing
their clanks and proving herself adept in performing
the role of Lucrezia Mongfish, nemesis to — and
later wife of — Barry Heterodyne. She also begins
training under Zeetha, swordmistress and princess of
the lost city of Skifander. Together, Agatha, Krosp,
and the performers travel across the treacherous
wasteland
of
war-torn
Europa,
towards
Mechanicsburg, and the ancestral home of the
Heterodynes — Castle Heterodyne. But with many
perils standing in her way — including Wulfenbach’s
crack troops, mysterious Geisterdamen, savage
Jägermonsters, and the fabled Storm King — it’s
going to take more than a spark of Mad Science for
Agatha to get through.

• In a world where vampires have taken every humble
chapel, defiled every grand cathedral, subdued most
nations, and treated every human as cattle, Dumas’
hero musketeers rise to a greater challenge than they
ever met in their original adventures. Athos has spent
a decade fighting vampires in the king’s musketeers.
He never expected to see his wife again — he’d discovered Charlotte was a vampiric servant, hanged
and left for dead ten years before — yet it is she who
turns Athos into a vampire. Or does she? Despite the
craving for blood and overwhelming sexual hunger,
Athos walks the fine line between the worlds,
remaining human enough to fight vampires. Only his
commitment and loyalty to his friends — fellow
musketeers Porthos and Aramis — and a young
Gascon named D’Artagnan, allows him to keep his
soul through an adventure that tests the heights of his
heroism and the depth of his darkest desires.

• Tempting the Gods collects some of Tanith Lee’s fic-

venues (Asimovs’, Weird Tales, and Realms of
Fantasy). They range in tone from the dark (“Cain”)
and Arthurian Legend (“The Kingdoms of the Air”),
to Arabian Nights adventure (“These Beasts”) and
the just plain weird (“Tiger I”). All stories feature
Lee’s carefully crafted language, tight plotting, vivid
imagination, and matchless evocation of atmosphere.
Not all tales are dark — there’s even some humor,
such as the new to this collection “God and the Pig.”
Like Bradbury and Vance, Lee is a unique stylist.
This collection — the first part of a two part series —
is a perfect introduction to her work, some of the best
writing in the weird fiction category.
