DEXTER LIMITED EDITION BUST
On sale Aug 18
7" on base
Numbered, limited edition, certificate of authenticity $69.99
Dexter Morgan, Miami Metro Police Department blood-spatter analyst, has a double life. When he’s not helping the homicide division solve murders, he spends his time hunting and killing bad guys who slip through the justice system.
In bringing the character, brilliantly portrayed by Michael C. Hall, into a sculpture, we wanted to capture both “sides” of everyone’s favorite serial killer. With Dexter in his signature henley-style shirt, in front he is examining a blood-spatter slide, but danger lurks hidden behind his back.
The likeness is spot on, and we couldn’t be more excited to make what we feel is the ultimate Dexter collectible. Sculpted by Gentle Giant Studios.

FREAKANGELS VOLUME 4 TPB

Volume Four of award-winning author Warren Ellis' ongoing web comic, FREAKANGELS, is here! This installment collects the entire fourth arc of the post-apocalyptic saga into 144 gorgeous, full-color pages. Twenty-three years ago, twelve strange children were born in England at exactly the same moment. Six years ago, the world ended. Today, eleven strange 23-year-olds are living in and defending Whitechapel, maybe the last real settlement in flooded London. They've made a new friend, and together they successfully defended their home from raiders--but the post-apocalyptic drowned London that the eleven Freakangels survive in is never a safe place, and never surrounded by friends. In fact, there's a serial killer stalking in their midst, and one of their own has broken their most valued rule. In FREAKANGELS: VOLUME FOUR, as the clan faces danger from nearly every direction, it's time to really take a look at what happened six years ago. Back when there were twelve FREAKANGELS. Back when they were all running for their lives. Because a lot of things have changed, but maybe not as many as they thought... Ellis' ongoing story of a flooded London is beautifully illustrated in jaw-dropping detail by Paul Duffield, and every page is as much a work of art as it is a compelling and multi-layered story. This fourth collection is also available as a Hardcover edition with an all-new cover by series artist Paul Duffield that is limited to just 2,000 copies, and a Dual-Signed Hardcover edition, limited to only 1,000 copies, signed by both Warren Ellis and Paul Duffield!

For one thing, York's newest guest, well, she ain't no lady. And the whispered accusations of the crew aren't very nice, but they are true: York never goes above deck in the daylight. But maybe Marsh's imagination is just getting the best of him. Surely a simple lunch with York should put all of his fears -- and those of the crew -- to rest, right? Each issue of this stunning full-color epic is illustrated by Rafa Lopez, an artist whose skilled line captures every moonlit drop of blood in delicious detail. Adapted by the Hugo-nominated author Daniel Abraham, this version of FEVRE DREAM stays faithful to Martin's original dark vision, while bringing the torture and joy of his vampires to almost-human life. This haunting series is available with Regular and Wraparound painted covers by Felipe Massafera and a very limited Nightmare retailer incentive.

(C) Paliarani, Juan Jose Ryp, Felipe Massafera
Before history was recorded in stone and ink, some men wrote it in blood! Ellis and Wolfer, the writing team on Gravel, unveil the next six-issue barbaric epic of Wolfskin, this time joined by Gianluca Pagliarani, the star artist of Ignition City! One of the most graphic and meticulously detailed battle epics in comic book history is unveiled! As the village of Va is besieged by a gigantic, smoke-belching fire demon, Wolfskin and his fellow rescuers battle for their lives against the legendary beast which towers above them, crushing all in its path. And the earth-shaking terror has not arrived alone, ushering forth an overwhelming horde of demon warriors striking down all before them in a horrific orgy of blind fury and murder. But as long as a war hammer and sword remain in Wolfskin's iron-like grip, a glimmer of victory remains, even in the face of the apocalyptic End Times which have been foretold by the prophets of this ancient world. This all-new, full-color six issue series is available with several historic covers. Series artist Pagliarani provides the Regular and Wraparound covers, maestro Felipe Massafera delivers the lush Painted cover, super-star artist Juan Jose Ryp serves up the violent Blood Thirst cover, and retailers are able to order a super-limited Bronze & Blood edition.

CROSSED: FAMILY VALUES #2
(W) David Lapham (A) Javier Barreno
(C) Jacen Burrows
Nothing is sacred as Crossed returns! The biggest hit horror series of the year returns with an all-new six-issue series written by David (Stray Bullets) Lapham! Set right at the start of the Crossed outbreak, this epic tale of depravity promises to shock and disturb you with even more intensity than the first series! The Pratt family was torn apart by the sudden strike of the infected masses. The survivors think they have found a safe place to start over. A place the Crossed won’t find them and can be well defended. But those are only the external threat as evil lurks in the hearts of some men and those terrors aren’t as easy to see as a Crossed rash. Imagine, for a moment, the worst crimes against humanity. Picture the cruelest affronts to decency. Conjure your darkest nightmares... and then realize it could all be so much worse. When civilization crumbles in one terrifying moment; when people are gleefully breaking into unthinkable acts of violence all around you; when everyone you love has died screaming in agony: What do you do? There is no help. There is no hope. There is no escape. There are only the Crossed. Crossed: Family Values #2 is available with a Regular and Wraparound cover by Jacen Burrows, a Torture cover by Paul (Freakangels) Duffield, and a special rare Red Crossed retailer incentive.

Part rollicking adventure, part maritime ballad; Set to Sea chronicles what can happen when an aspiring poet is shanghaied aboard a clipper bound for Hong Kong, and finds the sailor’s life a bit rougher than his romantic nautical fantasies. He helps rebuff a pirate assault, survives a gunshot to the eye, and learns to live a Conradian life on the sea, all the while writing poetry about pirates, bad food, unceremonial funerals, foreign ports, and unexpected epiphanies.

NORMAN PETTINGILL: BACKWOODS HUMORIST
(E) Gary Groth (A) Norman Pettingill
$39.99 / HC / 144 pgs / PC
Introduction by R. Crumb; Afterword by Johnny Ryan
Norman Pettingill was an avid trapper and fisherman from Northern Wisconsin. In 1947, at the age of 51, he created hundreds of pen-and-ink drawings. By merging his fascination with nature and backwoods culture with his wild sense of humor, he depicted an out-ofcontrol hillbilly wonderland of talking grizzlies, dancing morons, giant mosquitoes, pipe smoking grannies, hilarious hunting mishaps and moonshine-soaked fishermen! Reminiscent of Al Capp’s Li’l Abner, Pettingill’s hillbilly heaven is made grittier and more real by his obsessive penwork and the attention he gives to each teetering outhouse, every overflowing spittoon, and each wiry hair growing out of a mountain man’s warty face.

Where the heck is Puppy Boy? What's that shovel for? Why all the terrified eyes glassily staring off into nothingness? You may or may not find out in Sammy the Mouse #3.

Executed in Gipi's stunning watercolor duotones, The Hooligans is a fitting conclusion to the Wish You Were Here series, a triptych of all-too-true stories misspent youth.

Here is a kaleidoscopic analysis of Jewish humor as seen through Funnyman, a little-known super-heroic invention by the creators of Superman, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. Following the completion of their 10-year-long contract with DC writing and drawing their first creation, Superman, Siegel and Shuster were determined to create a new superhero; one that would prove that justice, fair-play, and zany craftsmanship were the true "American way", and would lead to their ultimate victory. This book tells the back-story of the unsuccessful strip and Siegel and Shuster’s ambition to have their funny Jewish superhero trump the Man of Steel. Included are complete comic-book stories and daily and Sunday newspaper panels from this lost classic. (C: 0-1-2)

THE PLAYWRIGHT HC
(W) Eddie Campbell (A) Daren White
The Playwright enjoys a quiet moment in the local park where he can mentally sort his ideas and is often frequented by young ladies. Once he saw a pigeon defecate onto a businessman's shoulder; it struck him as absurd that such an event is considered lucky. Surely the luck lies with passers-by who, statistically, are far less likely to be similarly soiled at that precise moment. Similarly, the Playwright derived an almost perverse sense of relief upon receiving news that an old friend has developed prostate cancer. Statistically, he reasons, such news significantly reduces the chances of him being similarly afflicted. And to be honest, at his age, his prostate needs all the statistical support he can muster. The Playwright: a dark comedy about the sex life of a celibate middle-aged man. Co-Published by Top Shelf Productions and Knockabout. (C: 0-0-3)

SERENITY RPG HC
Here’s How It Is. The Earth got used up, and we found a new solar system and used terraforming technology to create hundreds of new Earths. The central planets formed the Alliance and decided that all worlds should unite under their rule. There was some disagreement on that point. After the Unification War, many of the Independents who had fought and lost drifted to the edges of the system, far from Alliance control. Out here, people struggled to get by with the most basic technologies. A ship would bring you work, a gun would help you keep it. A captain’s goal was simple: find a crew, find a job, keep flying.
