Through a veritable kaleidoscope of sensory overload — a visual feast for the eyes, mind, and spirit — these graphic treasures paint an enduring and endearing picture of what might have been, what presently is, and what the future may be. Dark Horse begins our time-tripping tour with a showcase of the best and brightest in the industry, past and present, starting with writer Brian Wood (the Massive, DMZ, conan the Barbarian) as he warps readers back to the classic era of a Galaxy Far, Far Away… with star Wars adventure for today in In the shadow of Yavin. Meanwhile, comics legend and luminary Will Eisner takes on literary giant Charles Dickens in Fagin the Jew, a fascinating retelling of the life of Oliver Twist’s Fagin, and superhero maestro and Spider-Man co-creator Steve Ditko strays from the mainstream into darker territories in creepy Presents steve Ditko. IDW dishes up pulp thrills as the Rocketeer blasts-off against a brand-new adversary in the Hollywood Horror! Then, Superman co-creator Jerry Siegel and Curt Swan guide the Man of Steel through high-flying heroics with the classic adventures featured in superman: the silver Age Dailies Volume 1 — 1958-1961! And, take a chronological trip with a Time Lord in Doctor Who series 3 Volume 2. From the dark days of the depression, to the middle ages and the old west, Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips weave tales of horror, myth, and mystery as a fatal beauty endures throughout the ages in Image Comics’ Fatale Volume 3. Hack/slash comes to a brutal, bloody end in this final collection of Tim Seeley’s acclaimed series! And, the epic tale of star-crossed lovers, lethal assassins, rampaging armies, and alien monstrosities continues in Brian K. Vaughan’s saga Volume 2. Gemstone Publishing rolls out the latest edition of the comic collector’s “Bible” with the overstreet comic Book Price Guide #43, featuring updated pricing and historical data on the approximately 300,000 comics!

When the school bullies convince Wendell to venture into the forest around their neighborhood and explore the long-abandoned Renaissance Faire grounds they all believe to be haunted, Wendell is surprised to find a man living in the barn — and even more surprised by the man himself. His new acquaintance seems the definition of crackpot, believing himself to be a medieval knight named Sir Habersham, tasked with the duty of slaying the dragon he insists is wandering the woods.

FELDSTEIN: The Mad Life and Fantastic Art of Al Feldstein! takes a long-overdue look at the entire remarkable career of this legendary artist, writer, and editor. Both a full biography and a coffee-table art book, we begin with the earliest surviving Feldstein artwork from the High School of Music and Art, present his very earliest comic book work, and follow his development from the 1940s Victor Fox shop (including the titillating “headlight” comics Junior, Sunny, and Meet Corliss Archer). And we examine his highly visceral work for the classic E.C. comic book line. Along with rare and previously unpublished photographs, the book pictures every E.C. Feldstein comic book cover (many placed alongside the original artwork), presents several complete E.C. stories, plus nearly every splash page and house ad Feldstein did for E.C. We trace his thirty-year career as the editor of MAD, and present his post-retirement work as a “fine” artist, including his prize-winning Western canvases and his many commissioned paintings “revisiting” his classic cover images from the 1950s. We examine every aspect of Feldstein’s long career and fascinating personal life, not all of it sweetness and light.

Polly debuted in 1912 as one of the earliest “pretty girl” strips, but it was in 1925 that Sterrett entered his peak period, developing a new style replete with Art Deco decorations, abstract backgrounds, and distinctive surreal perspectives — all within the context of a down-right hilarious situation comedy. Sterrett’s Sunday pages (also being published by The Library of American Comics) have long been hailed as individual masterpieces, but his daily strips — due to their rarity — have eluded archivists for the past ninety years. The discovery by The Library of American Comics of syndicate proofs for some early 1930s dailies — plus new in Formation about Sterrett’s involvement with a Maine-based artist colony — fills a major hole in comics history. The strips reprinted here — the complete year of 1933 dailies — show Sterrett at his most inventive, building gags upon gags within one- and two-week continuities, culminating in a spectacular holiday story in which the entire cast — Polly, Maw and Paw Perkins, cousin Ashur, Neewah, and the rest of the outrageous Perkins household — is transfigured into living, breathing Christmas dolls. writer: Cliff Sterrett artist: Cliff Sterrett Format: Hardcover, Black & White size: 11.5 x 4.25 Page Count: 336 Recommended age: Mature Readers (ages 16 and up) Genre: Comic Strip Collections Publisher: IDW Publishing Imprint: Library of American Comics IsBN: 1-61377-698-5 IsBN-13: 978-1-61377-698-8 Price: $24.99 (CAN: $27.50, £18.99) Release Date: 8/13/2013 selected Previous Volumes: LOAC Essentials 2: The Gumps - The Saga of Mary Gold (ISBN 1-61377-573-3), LOAC Essentials 1: Baron Bean (ISBN 1-61377-442-7) KEY SELLING POINTS: • Art Spiegelman calls Polly and Her Pals, “a glorious composition…a happy pop synthesis of Art Deco, Futurism, Surrealism, Dada, and Pure Cartoon.” New Releases July - Dec 2013 76 IDW Publishing MICHAEL RECYCLE MEETS BOOTLEG PEG It’s the new installment of Michael Recycle!

GOD IS DISAPPOINTED IN YOU God Is Disappointed in You is for people who would like to read the Bible... if it would just cut to the chase. Stripped of its arcane language and its interminable passages of poetry, genealogy, and law, every book of the Bible is condensed down to its core message, in no more than a few pages each. Written by Mark Russell with cartoons by New Yorker cartoonist Shannon Wheeler, God Is Disappointed in You is a frequently hilarious, often shocking, but always accurate retelling of the Bible, including the parts selectively left out by Sunday School teachers and church sermons. Irreverent yet faithful, this book is a must-read for anyone who wants to see past the fog of religious agendas and cultural debates to discover what the Bible really says.

But now he must play the part of reluctant hero, as an angel comes to him for help finding the Mona Lisa — the real Mona Lisa that inspired the painting. Cross’s quest takes him into a secret world within our own, populated by characters just as strange and wondrous as he is: gorgons and dead gods hidden away in museums; faeries that live in countryside pubs, trapping and enslaving unwary travellers; and super-rich collectors who trade magical artifacts among themselves. He’s haunted by memories of Penelope, the only woman he truly loved, and he wants to avenge her death at the hands of his ancient enemy, Judas, a forgotten god from an ancient time. The angel promises to deliver Judas to Cross, but nothing is ever what it seems when Judas is involved, and when a group of renegade angels looking for a new holy war show up, things truly go to hell. writer: Peter Roman Format: Softcover, Black & White size: 6 x 9 Page Count: 300 Recommended age: Mature Readers (ages 16 and up) Genre: Fantasy, Action/Adventure Publisher: ChiZine Publications IsBN: 1-77148-145-5 IsBN-13: 978-1-77148-145-8 Carton Qty: 40 Price: $16.95 (CAN: $18.95) Release Date: 6/18/2013 KEY SELLING POINTS: • Peter Roman is the alter ego of Peter Darbyshire, a reknowned Canadian writer and author of the novels The Warhol Gang and Please, which won Canada’s ReLit Award for best alternative novel.

New Releases July - Dec 2013 113 ChiZine Publications IMAGINARIUM 2013: THE BEST CANADIAN SPECULATIVE WRITING Imaginarium 2013: The Best Canadian Speculative Writing is a reprint anthology collecting speculative short fiction and poetry (science fiction, fantasy, horror, magic realism, etc.) that represents the best work produced by Canadian writers. Canadian speculative fiction has been increasingly recognized internationally for the calibre of its authors and their insight into the nature of social and religious identities, the implications of new technologies, and the relationship between humankind and its environments. We use the term “speculative fiction” in order to free ourselves from the associations of terms like “science fiction,” “horror,” and “fantasy.” At their best, these stories disrupt habits, overcome barriers of cultural perception to make the familiar strange through the use of speculative elements such as magic and technology. They provide glimpses of alternate realities and possible futures and pasts that provoke an ethical, social, political, environmental, and biological inquiry into what it means to be human.

The captain is all blond hair, boots, and ego... and Alana can’t keep her eyes off her.

PATHFINDER CAMPAIGN SETTING: THE WORLDWOUND This rift is known as the Worldwound, and through it, the demon horde has infested an entire region. While the demon armies have been held in check by barbarians and crusaders alike, the region within that was once Sarkoris is now ruled by fiends. Worse, the Worldwound itself is slowly growing — if something isn’t done to halt this blight, it and the demons it spawns may one day swallow all of Golarion! This Pathfinder sourcebook explores the demon-blighted land of the Worldwound (site of the new Wrath of the Righteous Adventure Path) in great detail. Ruined cities (such as the shattered capital city of Iz, the frozen city of Dyinglight, and the river city of Undarin), key historical sites (like the Circle of the Hierophants — birthplace of the druidic sect known as the Green Faith), and more are presented, along with an exhaustive examination of the strange and otherworldly hazards of the region. The book also includes several adventure sites ready for exploration, along with a few locations like the holdout town of Gundrun, which can serve heroes as (relatively) safe harbor in a deadly land. Finally, an extensive bestiary presents more than a dozen new monsters and demons and enemy NPCs along with two new monster templates, ensuring your PCs will never lack for foes in this devastated realm.

PATHFINDER ADVENTURE PATH: WRATH OF THE RIGHTEOUS PART 1 THE WORLDWOUND INCURSION For over a hundred years, the demon-infested Worldwound has warred against humanity, their Abyssal armies clashing with crusaders, barbarians, mercenaries, and heroes along the border of lost Sarkoris. But when one of the magical wardstones that helps hedge the demons into their savage realm is sabotaged, the border city of Kenabres is attacked and devastated by a demonic army. Can a small band of heroes, destined for mythic greatness, survive long enough to hold back the forces of chaos and evil until the cavalry arrives, or will they become the latest in a long line of victims of the minions of Deskari, the demon lord of the Locust Host? A Pathfinder Roleplaying Game adventure for 1st-level characters, The Worldwound Incursion begins the Wrath of the Righteous Adventure Path, utilizing rules from the new Mythic Adventures hardcover rulebook to portray a campaign of truly legendary potential.

The citadel and city of Drezen was once the pride and joy of the crusaders, a symbol of their triumph in the First Crusade against the Worldwound. Yet this triumph was short-lived, for when a larger horde of demons attacked, they shattered Drezen’s defenses and captured the citadel and the Crusaders’ symbol of power — the Sword of Valor. Can the adventurers and an allied team of specialists lead an army north to reclaim Drezen and recover the Sword of Valor, or are they marching their friends and followers into certain death? Continuing the Wrath of the Righteous Adventure Path, Sword of Valor is a Pathfinder Roleplaying Game adventure for 6th-level characters who have gained one mythic tier.

PATHFINDER CAMPAIGN SETTING: DEMONS REVISITED Demons have plagued heroes since the dawn of time; their brutality and ferocity matched by few foes, and their capacity for cruelty and destruction seemingly without end. They are legion, as varied as the countless mortal sins that give them birth and ever eager for new opportunities to destroy the works of humanity, if only as a prelude to the lingering, painful deaths they so love to visit upon the flesh. Yet despite the danger, arrogant mortals remain fascinated by demons, and work tirelessly to conjure and subjugate them to their will. To the demon host, these mortals are their favorites, for they are the key by which these fiends shall inherit the world! Demons Revisited presents 10 of the game’s most infamous and notorious demons, providing details on the sins that spawn each type, what roles they play on the Abyss, and what particular devastations they prefer to wreak on the mortal realm, given the chance.
