THE ART OF MODESTY BLAISE SC

(W) Peter O'donnell (A) Jim Holdaway & Various (CA) Jim Holdaway

Modesty Blaise, the tough and enigmatic character created by Peter O'Donnell, made her international debut on May 13, 1963 in a newspaper strip story illustrated by Jim Holdaway. On Jim Holdaway's sudden death in 1970 the artwork was taken up by Enric Badia Romero. In 1978 John Burns drew the strip for a year then Pat Wright for nine months. In May 1980 the fifth artist was introduced, Neville Colvin, who produced over 1500 strips. Colvin retired in 1986 and Romero continued again until the very last strip in 2001. This marvelous catalogue showcases over 160 original artworks reproduced here in the finest detail. Each individual scan of the original art shown in this book was carefully taken to optimise its reproduction on the printed page and to retain the look and feel of the artist's detailed pen (STK651051) (C: 0-1-1)

Sleepy Hollow #1 (of 4)

(W) Marguerite Bennett (A) Jorge Coelho (CA) Phil Noto



WHY WE LOVE IT

As fans of the Sleepy Hollow television series (now entering its second season on Fox), we knew we had to make a comic just as haunting, engaging and visually gorgeous as the show itself. Featuring multi-layered characters, intense visuals, and creepy storylines, Sleepy Hollow is perfect for comics.



WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT

One of the most exciting young writers working today, Scott Snyder protégé Marguerite Bennett is currently writing Archaia’s Butterfly and has worked on DC’s Lobo, Superman: Lois Lane, and Batman: Joker’s Daughter. Even if you don’t watch the show, Sleepy Hollow is perfect for fans of The X-Files, American Vampire, or Supernatural. Includes all-new back-up stories from Noelle Stevenson (Lumberjanes).



WHAT IT’S ABOUT

After dying on the battlefield during the Revolutionary War, Ichabod Crane awakes in present-day sleepy Hollow, New York. His resurrection is tied to the reappearance of the Headless Horseman, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Realizing it is his mission to help stop the end of the world, Ichabod teams with Lt. Abbie Mills to meet each evil threat head-on. When minor miracles start to sweep the town, they’re glad something good seems to be happening for once. No decapitations, no headless horseman, no worries, right? But as one by one the miracles start to backfire, more and more violently, Abbie and ichabod must find time between saving the world to save the citizens of Sleepy Hollow...

HiT: pen & ink #1

(W) Bryce Carlson (A/CA) Vanesa R. Del Rey

WHY WE LOVE IT

After the first two Pen & Ink books focused on Brian Stelfreeze and Humberto Ramos, we wanted to shine the light on one of our new discoveries, the vastly talented and Russ Manning “Most Promising Newcomer” Award-nominated Vanesa R. Del Rey (The Empty Man, Zero). This edition takes a closer look at her beautifully horrific artwork on Hit, her comics debut.



WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT

Our Pen& Ink line is catnip for process junkies and for folks who just love “making of” stuff. This volume collects issues #1-2 of the Hit miniseries, presenting Vanesa’s original line work at the true art board dimensions of 11” x 17”, complete with creative, behind-the-scenes commentary from both Vanesa and writer Bryce Carlson.



WHAT IT’S ABOUT

Gain a whole new appreciation of Hit, our critically acclaimed detective noir series set in 1955 Los Angeles. While infamous gangster Mickey Cohen rots in a prison cell, clandestine groups of LAPD detectives moonlight as sanctioned hit-men known as “Hit Squads.” Get a deeper understanding of the creative decisions that went into this series with insightful commentary by writer Bryce Carlson and artist Vanesa R. Del Rey.

MeMeTiC #1 (of 3)

(W) Jamestynion Iv (A/CA) Eryk Donovan

WHY WE LOVE IT

After launching James tynion iv’s THe wooDSto much acclaim, we were eager to see what other ideas he had. When James—one of our favorite new voices in comics—pitched us MeMeTiCas a tale of the apocalypse in three parts, we were sold!



WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT

Memetic is truly an event comic—three oversized 48-page issues detailing the end of the world over the course of three days, and a wholly unique take on the disaster genre. Much like his work on The Woods, James Tynion IV and fantastic newcomer Eryk Donovan (The House in the Wall)will bring horror to a whole new generation and fans of J-horror films like Uzumaki and The Ring.

WHAT IT’S ABOUT

A meme is an idea that starts with an individual, and then spreads throughout multiple persons and potentially entire societies. Richard Dawkins suggests a meme’s success comes from its effectiveness to the host. But history shows that destructive memes can spread just as rapidly through society. Memetic shows the progression of a weaponized meme that leads to the utter annihilation of the human race within 72 hours. The root of this apocalypse is a single image on the internet. A “meme” in the popular sense; a meme that changes everything.

(CA) A: Ramon Bachs (90%); B: Michael Dialynas (10%)

WHY WE LOVE IT

After publishing Fairy Quest, we kinda have a thing for Fablewood, where all fairy tales and bedtime stories live side-byside. So when Paul Jenkins came up with a mystery and fantasy mash-up adventure set there and enlisted his Civil War: Front Line artist Ramon Bachs, we hopped aboard faster than Alice went down the rabbit hole!



WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT

In Fiction Squad, every nursery rhyme is a crime scene in the making. If you like your mystery mashed up with fantasy, this has got you covered. Fans of Fables and Once Upon A Time will find a lot to love. And if you enjoyed Humberto Ramos’ art on Fairy Quest, then you will not be disappointed when you see Ramon Bachs’ gorgeous line work. Plus, the project has hundreds of Kickstarter co-publishers like you!



WHAT IT’S ABOUT

Fablewood is a pretty dangerous place, but no area is more dangerous than the City of Rimes, deep in the heart of the Children’s Realm.
