Our favorite barbarian has been living as a thief for some time, and his crimes are catching up with him. Becoming enmeshed in the plans of a treacherous nobleman and a dark priest, Conan finds himself making some strange allies in order to free himself from the labyrinthine, booby-trapped halls in the Red Priest’s stronghold. Stalked by a mysterious, hulking horror that’s grown out of control, Conan and the nobleman make a wary alliance with the Red Priest himself! Cover art by Frank Frazetta!

Dark Horse continues its yearlong celebration of Charles Schulz's masterpiece, Peanuts. Peanuts premiered on October 2, 1950, in eight newspapers. As we all know, it grew to become probably the most popular comic strip ever.

United Media is letting us go back to the original look of the characters from 1950, which was considerably different than today’s look, and sculpt statues in a special sixtieth anniversary limited-edition series of the five main characters. Sculpted by Yoe! Studio.

Now you can celebrate the anniversary with the addition of, the world’s greatest fuss-budget, the bossy, Lucy to your collection!

One of our best-received Syroco-style statuette series ever has been of the characters from Carl Barks’s Uncle Scrooge stories.

We’re continuing our line of statues with a new series, based on specific cover images by Barks, and our third statue is inspired by, “Cash N’ Carry.” This particular pose of Uncle Scrooge was taken from Dell #22 from June 1958.

The Uncle Scrooge series depicts the characters as they were originally presented in the comics. Sculpted by Yoe! Studio.

One of most critically acclaimed recent superhero stories is finally collected along with all-new material! All seven of the original issues of ABSOLUTION are here as well as a huge cover gallery and an all-new Crime Files segment with additional information on John Dusk’s allies and most feared villains! You've seen Christos Gage's work for Marvel, WildStorm, IDW and others, but you've never seen his imagination unleashed with absolutely no restrictions...until now. ABSOLUTION introduces John Dusk, a superhero in a world where they're a sanctioned arm of law enforcement. But this veteran hero has been scarred by his exposure to man's infinite capacity for evil, and he's seen one too many perpetrators escape justice. One day he crosses the line...lets a murderer die...and discovers it feels good. Surrounded by sociopaths, both human and superhuman, who he knows will prey on others if they're not stopped--permanently-- how far will he go, knowing every step he takes puts him further on a collision course with his teammates Alpha and The Servant, not to mention his homicide detective girlfriend? Drawing on his experience writing for TV crime dramas like Law & Order: SVU, and his years of acclaimed work on comics like G.I. Joe: Cobra, StormWatch: PHD, and Avengers: The Initiative, Gage and artist Roberto Viacava bring you a riveting, no-punches-pulled saga that fans of shows like The Shield and Dexter, or comics such as Powers and Sleeper, won't be able to put down.

WIDOW WARRIORS #1

(W) Lloyd Chao, Christine Chi-Long To

(C) Pat Lee

BOOK 1: FAMILY HONOR—Over a thousand years ago, the great kingdom of China was under constant threat of invasion by powerful tribes and warring states along its rugged western border. For generations, one fiercely-patriotic clan of warriors — the “Yang” — battled bravely in the nation’s defense. The widows of the clan pleaded with the Emperor, whose own court had become weakened by corruption and greed, to send reinforcements. But none came. Soon, the last remaining Yang soldiers were overwhelmed by a sea of bloodthirsty invaders. Distraught and incensed, the Yang widows – a few hundred strong and many of whom also seasoned warriors — took arms and set off to the western border.

But even before reaching the enemy, the journey itself would be fraught with peril. In their determination to avenge the deaths of loved ones, the Widow Warriors would face the full fury of nature’s most destructive forces, a vast enemy army with sorcery and monsters on its side, and perhaps most powerful of all, the demons within themselves.

THE ARTIST HIMSELF: A RAND HOLMES RETROSPECTIVE

(W) Patrick Rosenkranz

$39.99 / SC / 328 pgs / FC

This book is an intimate and expansive account of a very private man who expressed his deepest feelings in the then disreputable medium of comix. His hippie hero, Harold Hedd, became the spokesman of the emerging 1970s counterculture. The Adventures of Harold Hedd spread across the globe in the wave of underground comix and newspapers of the era. While his comic character was bold and blatant, the artist was shy and quiet, well on his way to becoming a complete hermit. This unique collection of art documents a lifetime of work by one of the most talented artists of his generation.

WILLIE AND JOE: BACK HOME

(W/A) Bill Mauldin

$29.99 / HC / 288 pgs / BW

In 1945, a great tide of battered soldiers began flowing back to the United States. Though victorious, these exhausted men were nevertheless too grief-stricken over the loss of comrades, too guilt-ridden that they had survived, and too numbed by trauma to share in the country’s euphoria. Most never saw a ticker-tape parade, or stole a Times Square kiss. All they wanted was to settle back into quiet workaday lives without fear. How tragic that the forces unleashed by WWII made this simple wish impossible. Bill Mauldin brilliantly chronicles these early postwar years and tells his own story of his journey home to a wife he barely knew and a son he had only seen in pictures.

PRIEST: PURGATORY #1

Created by Min-Woo Hyung

(W) Dan Jolley (A) Diego Yapur

A Previews Exclusive! Inspired the Major Motion Picture! Four young Priests and a Priestess (XLX-33, CXV-75, VI-16 and XV-45) are assigned a treacherous mission: to locate and recover a holy relic (the “Domas Porada”) in a recently discovered vampire nesting ground. So treacherous in fact, that a first team of Priests (led by DC-66) had been sent on the same mission six months prior but never seen again. The Priests (and the regular soldiers they command) begin their long journey/battle through vampire-infested lands. During the course of the journey the personality/dynamics/conflict of the four Priests are revealed as the intensity and action of the journey escalates. By the time they discover the cave in which the relic is hidden, VI-16 and most of the platoon are dead. Inside the cave they discover the Domas Porada and a now-insane DC-66 defending it. He warns them of the danger that is inside the relic — a fallen angel named Temozarela that originated the vampires and seeks to wipe out the human race. DC-66 is killed and the remaining Priests dutifully obey their orders and deliver the relic to the Church. With the power harnessed from the Domas Porada, the Church hopes to be able to defeat the vampires in one fail swoop — but little do they know they may actually bring forth the destruction of the world by doing so.

SHONEN JUMP VOL. 8 #9, SEPTEMBER 2010

Why are Japanese animation, toys and video games so popular around the world? Because they're based on manga — Japanese comics. The most popular manga magazine in Japan is Weekly Shonen Jump, the birthplace of the greatest artists and stories. Weekly Shonen Jump sells over 3.5 million copies every week, to ages ranging from elementary school students to adults — in a country with half the population of the U.S.

Now, VIZ has brought SHONEN JUMP to the U.S., featuring the most popular comics from the original Japanese edition. Each issue of SHONEN JUMP contains over 300 pages of manga, plus artist interviews, card games, videogames, toys and anime information for just $4.95. Plus, the comics in SHONEN JUMP are printed in the right-to-left Japanese-reading format to preserve the original artwork--but with English sound effects to make them as easy to read in America as they were in Japan. Produced with the cooperation of the original artists and editors, SHONEN JUMP is the new language of manga. RATING: T
