Thought dead since the events of Grasscutter, the demon Jei—the Black Soul—has been inhabiting the body of the swordswoman Inazuma, intent on destroying the evil he claims to see in Usagi!

Meanwhile, Boss Bakuchi, shamed by his inability to avenge his son’s death, doubles the bounty on the killer—Inazuma. The money brings out scores of bounty hunters, unaware that they are merely a flock of sparrows intent on bringing down an eagle.

On sale July 7

FC, 224 pages $49.99

HC, 6 5/8" x 10 3/16"

Frank Frazetta is widely renowned as one of the greatest fantasy illustrators of all time. But he didn’t hone his skills in study at the fabled galleries of Paris or Milan; his legendary talents flourished as he worked for hire during the Golden Age of comics!

In the early 1950s, Frazetta set up shop at bustling comics publisher Magazine Enterprises, contributing beautiful cover illustrations and comics pages. There, he also created his first mighty adventurer: the lost-world-jungle hero Thun’da! Though Frazetta left Magazine Enterprises shortly after the first issue of Thun’da was released, and the series was ultimately short lived despite the talented care of collaborators Gardner Fox and Bob Powell, to this day the Thun’da, King of the Congo comics series is held in high regard both as an exciting adventure title and as the only comics series ever to include a cover-to-cover, all-Frazetta issue!

TRIAD: GHOST 12" FIGURE

On sale July 14 $99.99

One of the most popular Dark Horse characters is surely Ghost. Introduced in Comics’ Greatest World in 1993, Ghost won her own title and continued for many issues, drawn by some of the industry’s best artists. The tale of Elisa Cameron and her search for the truth surrounding her apparent death struck a chord with readers, and we are happy to see her returning from her natural state of unbeing into our physical plane with this lovingly detailed 12" articulated figure produced by Triad Toys.

Triad has paid attention to every detail: from her fatal .45s, her fitted gloves, her flowing white cape and cowl, and her luxurious, realistic hair. This is the ultimate Ghost collector’s item.

THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY POCKET WATCH AND STATUE SET

On sale July 14

Limited to 500, numbered with a certificate of authenticity

$129.99

For the discerning Umbrella Academy fan and collector, we are proud to introduce a distinguished pocket watch, featuring artwork from the wildly popular The Umbrella Academy, paired with a 5.5" statuette of 00.05, also known as The Boy, whose character is often seen glancing at a similar timepiece in the saga of his reluctant superhero family.

Encapsulating the designs and stylistic ideas of Umbrella Academy writer Gerard Way and artist Gabriel Bá, Dark Horse has created a high-end watch. Measuring 2.18" in diameter, this state-of-the-art timepiece combines with a sturdy 12" chain so you can carry your watch in style. The watch comes in a deluxe faux-leather, velveteen-lined box with a numbered metal certificate of authenticity. A sleek outer sleeve, designed by Gabriel Bá, holds it all together in one classy, modern package.

The statuette is a limited edition in its own right, and the two items together make an unusual but oddly fitting and well-executed package— which, come to think of it, is just like The Umbrella Academy itself.

On sale July 14

Limited to 950 numbered pieces

Packaged in a full-color, litho-printed tin box, with a character booklet and a vintage-style pinback button $49.95

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

We are going forward with a new series, based on specific cover images by Barks, and starting with one of the most famous of all Scrooge as depicted on “Back to the Klondike.” Other will feature Scrooge, Donald Duck, and the nephews.

60TH ANNIVERSARY CLASSIC PEANUTS: CHARLIE BROWN

On sale June 2

Packaged in its own tin box, with a pin-back button and a character booklet

$49.95

Welcome to what promises to be a 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. We were lucky enough to be able to give the cast the Syroco-style treatment previously.

In an unprecedented move, 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 60th anniversary limited-edition series of the five main characters. Sculpted by Yoe! Studio.

March really has it all: the pinchcentric St. Patrick’s Day, the day they discovered Uranus, National Frozen Food Month . . . In honor of these diverse testaments to the human spirit, MySpace Dark Horse Presents has it all this month, too!

First, MDHP goes big with a new, untold tale from the secret history of Craig “3 Story” Pressgang in “The Giant Man in the Philippines” by Matt Kindt (3 Story, Super Spy). Jackie Kessler (Hell’s Belles, Black and White) and Paul Lee (Buffy, Conan) wrap up their peek into Buffy Season 8’s post-Harmony world in the conclusion of “Tales of the Vampires: Carpe Noctem.” The supernatural action adventure continues in part three of MDHP’s biggest story ever, Brody’s Ghost, by Mark Crilley (Akiko, Miki Falls), leading into the upcoming series. (And don’t forget: the earlier chapters of those two stories are still online—and still free—if you missed them!)

Finally, Larry Marder rounds out the month with an all-new Beanworld tale.

The ten-issue vampire epic on the bayou from the writer of the A Song of Ice and Fire novels continues in issue three! From the New York Times Best-selling author, George R. R. Martin, comes a tale of vampire clans, death and debauchery, legendary blood masters, and even a few epic steamboat races on the muddy Mississippi. This is Martin's FEVRE DREAM, an antebellum story of power, loss, and the fever of bloodlust. Abner is hearing strange rumors about his partner, and it's getting harder for him to defend Joshua after some of the things he's seen himself. It's one thing to have odd sleeping habits -- but to *never* leave his cabin during the day? Marsh made a promise not to push for answers... but when he goes looking, anyway, what he finds is only going to leave him with more bone-chilling questions! And the dangerous Damon Julian continues to maneuver his brood like chess pieces on a board, but what game is he really playing, and how high are the stakes? 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.

DRAWING FRANCE: FRENCH COMICS & THE REPUBLIC HC

(W) Joel E. Vessels

In France, Belgium, and other Francophone countries, comic strips, called bande dessinee or "BD" in French, have long been considered a major art form capable of addressing a host of contemporary issues. Among French-speaking intelligentsia, graphic narratives were deemed worthy of canonization and critical study decades before the academy and the press in the United States embraced comics. Author Joel E. Vessels examines the trek of BD from it being considered a fomenter of rebellion, to a medium suitable only for semi-literates, to an impediment to education, and most recently to an art capable of addressing social concerns.

MANGA AND PHILOSOPHY SC

(E) Josef Steiff, Adam Barkman

Arguably the most important pop culture import from the East to the West, manga is a phenomenon that can no longer be ignored. Yet just as much as it is a source of visual splendor and riveting storylines, manga stimulates intense philosophical interest. This, coupled with the incredible-but-true fact that no complete book in the West has yet engaged with manga's philosophical side, makes this book, Manga and Philosophy, all but indispensable for fans and scholars alike. Because manga isn't restricted to a single genre much less to a single series or a single author, the possibility for stories and ideas are endless. (C: 0-1-2)

A KOTOBUKIYA Japanese import! Bugs Beware! The popular Japanese manga series One-Shot Bug Killer!! depicts a world in which insects have become immune to ordinary extermination. In response, two competing companies create tiny bug-killing robots, both in the form of cute girls.

After he resigned from Maazu Pharmaceuticals, inventor Furuyashiki moved to America and created the advanced Pest-X Interceptor Doll. Unleashed upon the world, the new Doll considers Combat-san its enemy and employs a transforming motorcycle. Unlike the cute Hoihoi-San, Pest-X wears a striking leather-inspired black outfit complete with silver zippers, thigh-high boots, and fingerless gloves. Her face is covered by a long white scarf while her bright red hair is held in place by an intricate mechanical device. Ready for miniature battle, Pest-X wields dual knives that can be stored in sheaths on her back. While the little robot’s huge blue eyes look cute, pull down her scarf to reveal a wicked grin. Sculpted by Ryouichi Ito, Pest-X stands 5” tall, and is comprised of approximately 100 pieces. She has 25 points of articulation for excellent posing, and can be painted in any way you’d like (only her eyes and eyebrows are pre-painted)!
