harming humans; and it always comes at a great personal expense, taking
everything and everyone he’s ever owned or cared about. Now he’s being set up by
the cops and a vengeful D.A. to take the fall for a pile of bad news. There’s no
way he’s getting out of this one without serving some time at the graybar hotel.

through lately, but forces both human and monster alike are lining up to make
sure Cal’s trip to the slammer is the last trip he ever takes.

the guy who died in the car before Cal bought it has no intention of leaving!

Editing and charting Conan’s course in the influential Savage Sword of Conan
magazine, Roy Thomas led a phenomenal assemblage of talented illustrators boldly
through the end of the seventies and into the eighties, unfettered by page
counts and the limiting thumb of the Comics Code. Thomas scripted the continuing
adventures of Conan, drawing from Robert E. Howard’s original tales—along with
other Conan adventures—and working with such esteemed artists as John Buscema,
Sal Buscema, Ernie Colon, Klaus Janson, and the amazing Gil Kane! The Savage
Sword of Conan brought the world thrilling adaptations of “Sons of the White
Wolf,” “The Legions of the Dead,” and “The Treasure of Tranicos.” The real
treasure in this massive tome, however, is the sprawling, ambitious adaptation
of the Conan the Buccaneer novel by the powerhouse team of Roy Thomas, John
Buscema, and Tony DeZuniga! This volume is sure to deliver brutal barbarian
violence as well as horrific, chilling surprises. This volume collects Savage
Sword of Conan the Barbarian issues 37 to 48.

Steel Harbor is a hell of a town, with the emphasis on hell, an urban wasteland
of shuttered factories, decaying neighborhoods, and broken dreams. Crime and
street violence are the soup of the day every day, but if you’re a bounty
hunter, every day in “Metal City” can be Christmas—assuming you survive, since
the worst of the Harbor’s most wanted can fly, summon up tornadoes, or tear cars
in half with their bare hands. But a skip’s a skip, and manhunter Barb Wire is
the best tracker in the business, and no super-gangster is too tough—as long as
there’s a fat price on his, her, or its head. Beautiful as she is lethal, Barb
Wire really puts the “drop dead” in drop-dead gorgeous. Her boots may be made
for walking, but they kick butt real pretty too. Barb Wire Omnibus collects all
the original Dark Horse Barb Wire tales, including the never-before-collected

that’s left to do is minibike his sorry, thirty-year-old (and freshly
unemployed!) butt back home to his mom’s basement and drown his sorrows in a
bucket of extra crispy chicken while contemplating where his life went wrong.
On the way home, Matt decides to quiet his aching heart with a brief detour to a
garage sale. When an ancient-looking helmet calls to him as “the Chosen One,”
exhorting him to don the mantle of the “Valhalladrim,” Matt touches it with
trembling fingers—and is jolted by raw magical power. Holy crap! Is he going to
be a superhero? Is this why he always felt special even when everyone else
thought he was a loser? Then the helm gets a sense of whom it’s dealing with.
Suddenly, it changes its tune: “I was mistaken. You are not the chosen one. Good
day.”
But for once in his life, Matt’s not taking no for an answer. Not today.

Guts the Black Swordsman just can’t seem to find a little peace. On his way to

and his companions, at the behest of a local witch, assist a village beset by a
plague of hideous and deadly trolls. Assisted by the witch’s disciple, Schierke,
the warrior band manages to turn the tide against the beasts, but when a
monstrous ogre hits town, a tide of another kind is needed, a mystic flood to
wash the town clean. But when Casca and Farnese are carried away by the flood,
they become prisoners in the trolls, den, where a fate far worse than any
imaginable death awaits!

latest faces of horror as Kurosagi continues its eternal struggle to turn
corpses into cash! Yet with Kuro trapped in a coma and seeing visions of the

b&w, 304 pages $9.95
TPB, 4 1/8" x 6"
In the politics, struggles, and battles that lead to the birth of a nation,
sometimes even good people must die at the hands of allies. And now it’s down to
only a few warlords of Edo-era Japan. History already tells the story of the
victor, but the real guts of Path of the Assassin lie in the characters behind
the scenes—the ninja warriors doing the dirty work. Theirs is a story of
families and war and intrigue, only far more mysterious and untold.

Several months after surviving the “Ghost Condo Massacre,” our favorite multiple

possibly under the control of his unhinged, murderous Shinji Nishizono
personality. While faithfully waiting for Amamiya to return, Machi Isono is
invited to witness an unusual presentation hosted by Japan’s Minister of
Justice, who then threatens to shut down Machi’s Criminal Research Lab. While
Machi finds herself getting closer and closer to the heart of the Gakuso
Society, Detective Sasayama’s career is in trouble. Miwa, Machi’s younger
sister, bumps into the downtrodden, bumbling Sasayama right after having eye
surgery she takes him shopping, and a strange relationship begins to form.

VAMPIRE HUNTER D BUST
On sale Nov 19
8.5" tall
Packaged in a deluxe full color box $74.99
Based on the character by Japanese author Hideyuki Kikuchi and visualized in the
revered illustrations of Yoshitaka Amano, this original bust of Vampire Hunter D
captures the beauty, grace, and cloaked mystery of the futuristic avenger.
Possibly immortal, his origin uncertain but twined between vampire and human, he
protects his pale skin with flowing hair, cloak, and a distinctive wide-brimmed
hat.
Sculptor Tim Bruckner has put much effort into getting this piece just right. As
you can see, the time was well spent! He said that bringing Amano’s art forward
in three dimensions was “the assignment of a lifetime.”

THE SPIRIT
On sale Sept 17
THE CLASSIC THE SPIRIT PVC SET – WITH BONUS FIGURE!
3 figures plus special fourth bonus figure
Approx. 4.5" tall $24.99
CLASSIC THE SPIRIT SCULPTED MAGNET
Approx. 3" tall x 2.25" wide $7.99
The PVC set features three characters: The Spirit, crusty old Commissioner
Dolan, and sultry siren Sand Saref. Sculpted by Tony Cipriano, of course! Tony
has really “nailed” Will Eisner’s style in interpreting it as 3-D, and the
result is a set of figures that any true Spirit fan will embrace.
But that’s not all! We have created a fourth figure from the classic comics, and
are including it as part of the set in specially designed packaging. Who will it
be?
Joining the PVC set in our growing classic Spirit line is a sculptural
refrigerator magnet. Crafted by Gentle Giant Studios, this fun item will liven
up any collector’s refrigerator or bookshelf. Inspired by an unpublished Will
Eisner sketch, the image is a nifty throwback to the good old days.
The Spirit feature film is due out January 2009, directed by Frank Miller!
