CONAN AND THE DEMONS OF KHITAI #1 (of 4)
AKIRA YOSHIDA (W), PAUL LEE (A), and PAT LEE (Cover)
On sale October 5, FC, 32pg, $2.99
King Conan travels to the exotic land of Khitai, only to run afoul of an evil sorcerer and 
his demonic retainers in this tale of silent shadow warriors and ghastly monsters in the 
Far East. When Conan receives an invitation from the Eastern Kingdom of Khitai to open 
trade in precious jewels and spices, he decides that he will travel into this long-
mysterious land.  Yet, to do so is perilous, as those who have requested his company may 
have far more devious intentions, and beasts unseen by Western eyes lurk amidst the 
shadows. With words by fan-favorite scribe Akira Yoshida (X-Men/Fantastic Four; 
Wolverine: Soultaker; Elektra: The Hand) and pictures by the exquisite Paul Lee 
(Detective Comics; Buffy: The Vampire Slayer; Lurid) the entire series is topped off with 
covers by Pat Lee (Transformers; Darkminds; Warlands).

Conan, at the side of Taurus, Prince of Thieves, assaults the dreaded Elephant Tower—
but deadly peril awaits at every turn, from hungry lions to giant spiders, and it’ll take all 
his barbarian skill merely to stay alive long enough to make it inside. Yet, once inside, 
the tower holds secrets far stranger and darker than anything Conan could have prepared 
for.

On the distant moon of Ylum, an enigmatic man is plagued by nightmares. He is forced

done. And then he finds them, and kills them. The year is 2841, and this man is Nexus, a 
godlike figure who acts as judge, jury, and executioner for the vile criminals who appear 
in his dreams. He claims to kill in self-defense, but why? Where do the visions come 
from, and where did he get his powers? Though a hero to many, does he have any real 
moral code? These are but some of the questions that reporter Sundra Peale hopes to have 
answered. Collecting Nexus #1-3 (Capital Comics) and Nexus #1-4 (First Comics).

THE 13TH SON: WORSE THING WAITING #1 (of 4)
KELLEY JONES (W/A) and MICHELLE STEWART (C)
On sale October 19, FC, 32pg, $2.99
Monsters fighting monsters! Monsters eating monsters! Monsters tearing monsters into 
little monster pieces! From one of comics’ best and weirdest talents comes the creepiest 
new offering from Dark Horse’s horror line—The 13th Son. Created, written, and drawn 
by Kelley Jones, The 13th Son is the story of the world’s ultimate monster, how he came 
to exist, and what this hideous creature has in store for our ill-fated world. Born to a 
young woman driven to insanity and black magic by the deaths of her previous children, 
the 13th Son is a creature like nothing this world has seen before. Humans are not his 
target. It’s the other monsters who walk this world—the Wendigo, werewolves, ghouls, 
zombies, and vampires—who live in fear of his enormous and terrifying powers. And 
what those powers are setting into motion is a horror beyond your deepest, darkest 
nightmares.

GOON 25 CENT COMIC
ERIC POWELL (W/A)
On sale October 12, FC, 32pg, $.25
Now is the perfect time to get acquainted with the cult-hit that Wizard calls “the most rip-
snortin’ comics series to hit stands in years,” as Eisner award-winner Eric Powell and 
Dark Horse Comics present the original The Goon #1 in a new 25 cent edition that 
includes a brand-new short story and painted cover by none other than the illustrious Mr. 
Powell himself. Over the last few years, The Goon has earned both critical and popular 
acclaim with its tales of a lone thug and his fight against a never-ending onslaught of 
zombies, giant lizards, and killer robots. For one measly quarter, see why Entertainment 
Weekly put The Goon on their “Must” list and why Ain’t It Cool News said, “The Goon 
is a wild ride filled with imaginaion, intrigue, horror, and laughs.” You know you want 
to.

MAN WITH THE SCREAMING BRAIN TPB
BRUCE CAMPBELL (W), DAVID GOODMAN (W), RICK REMEMDER (P), and 
HILARY BARTA (I)
On sale November 16, SC, 00pg, FC, 7"x 10", $13.95
B-movie megastar Bruce Campbell of Evil Dead, Army of Darkness, and Bubba Ho-Tep 
fame comes to comics with this adaptation of his upcoming feature film. Campbell not 
only co-wrote the film with David Goodman, but directed and starred in it as well.  
However, in order to see his vision realized unadulterated by budgetary constraints, 
Campbell put the version of the script he wanted to shoot into the hands of artists Rick 
Remender and Hilary Barta. Man with the Screaming Brain tells the story of a wealthy 
American businessman determined to exploit the crippled economy of a former Soviet 
state torn between communist roots and capitalist greed. But Campbell’s character soon 
finds himself in the grip of a mad scientist with a twisted brain-transplant scheme worthy 
of Dr. Frankenstein.

For more than ten years, pop culture cultists have revered and adored a mysterious, 
brooding thirteen-year-old girl named Emily the Strange. Nobody knows much about the 
young girl with a porcelain face and huge eyes framed by black bangs, and her ever-
present brood of black cats only adds to the intrigue—but that hasn’t stopped a generation 
of rabid fans from letting Emily put her spell upon them. Now Emily fans are invited into 
her odd, mysterious  world—a place where kitty friends talk, the ghosts of famous 
weirdos come out to play, reality is never quite what it seems, and—above all—a place

HIROKI ENDO (W/A)
On sale November 2, SC, 216pg, b&w, 5" x 7", $12.95
Eden Volume One is both a brilliant love song to the post-apocalyptic survival genre and 
the beginning of a deep exploration on man’s role in the natural order. In the near future, 
a large portion of humanity is wiped out by a brutal, new virus that hardens the skin while 
dissolving internal organs. Those who aren’t immune are either severely crippled or 
allowed to live with cybernetically enhanced bodies. Taking advantage of a world in 
chaos, a paramilitary force known as the Propater topples the United Nations and seeks 
world domination. Elia, a young survivor searching for his mother, travels towards the 
Andes Mountains with an artificially intelligent combat robot. When he encounters a 
group of anti-Propater freedom fighters, a maelstrom of unique characters unfolds. 
Graphic, cyberpunk, and philosophical, Eden is a place where endearing heroes face a 
constant struggle for survival and violent surprises wait around every corner!

OH MY GODDESS! COLORS TPB
KOSUKE FUJISHIMA (W/A)
On sale November 2, SC, 192pg, b&w & FC, 7" x 10", $19.95
Oh My Goddess! Colors is Dark Horse’s English-language edition of a special collection 
first published in Japan. What’s inside? Original publisher Kodansha, working with artist 
Kosuke Fujishima, produced color versions of four of the best-loved stories from the 
series, each centering on one of the goddesses. “The Number You Have Dialed Is 
Incorrect” is the one which started it all, as Belldandy appears when Keiichi reaches The 
Goddess Technical Help Line. Belldandy’s big sister Urd becomes small in “Urd’s 
Fantastic Adventure,” and in “Crazy Little Thing Called Love,” Skuld, the youngest of 
the sisters, wobbles through her first romance while learning to ride a bicycle.  Finally, 
“Are You Being Served?” brings in the Fourth Goddess, the vampish Peorth, when 
Keiichi misdials again to reach Belldandy’s rival agency…the Earth Assistance Hotline!
In addition to the four color stories, the Oh My Goddess! Colors collection contains a 
bonus original manga story by Fujishima fan Yoshitou Asari. And if that doesn’t do the 
trick, Kosuke Fujishima weighs in with an eight-page profile of the Goddesses. Plus, an 
eighteen-page “Encyclopedia of Goddess Terminology,” cross-referencing the people, 
places, and events of the first twenty-two volumes of OMG!, four pages on the cars, 
bikes, and planes of the series, the two-page “Rules of the Goddess’ World,” and a six-
page thumbnail guide to the OMG! story chapters. Oh My Goddess! Colors is the 
ultimate official fan companion to the manga series!

Ventress still lives, Obi-Wan Kenobi has temporarily forsaken his duties and recruited 
Anakin Skywalker in his desperate hunt for Ventress. But Anakin believes that Obi-Wan 
is chasing a ghost—because he himself killed Ventress. And Anakin’s doubts about his 
former Master’s quest are not assuaged when, following the trail of the rumors of 
Ventress’ existence, they walk into a trap set by their old enemies, the bounty hunter 
Durge and Count Dooku! A tale that tests the strengths of the bonds of brotherhood!

MINI FENDER GUITAR COLLECTION

Produced by SD Toys and exclusively distributed in the United States and Canada by 
Dark Horse Comics, Inc. Each 1/6 scale model guitar or bass comes packaged on a blister 
card with many accessories—including 3 mini picks, strap, shield, transmitter, and guitar 
stand, $19.99 (each). On sale October 5

Telecaster®
The revolutionary Telecaster guitar wrote the book on mass-produced, solid-body 
electric- guitar design. Featuring an ash body, adjustable maple neck, two single-coil 
pickups and a micro-adjustable bridge the Tele® guitar, as it affectionately became 
known, is one of the most beloved and recorded guitars of all time. Comes in butterscotch 
blonde.

Stratocaster®
The legendary and venerable Stratocaster guitar took guitar design to a higher level and 
became the voice of rock ‘n’ roll. Featuring a comfort-contoured body, three single-coil 
pickups, and a synchronized tremolo system the Strat® guitar has become the most 
popular guitar ever built. Comes in black.

Precision Bass®
As one of their most illustrious achievements, the Fender Precision Bass guitar allowed 
bassists to be heard more clearly than ever before. For the first time, traditional upright 
bass players could finger notes easily and precisely, thanks to the P Bass® guitar’s maple 
neck and fretted fingerboard. Comes in white.

Jazz Bass®
The Jazz Bass guitar offered bassists more tones than ever before. Featuring two single-
coil pickups and complementary tone controls, bassists could “dial-in” virtually any tone 
imaginable. All this and its ultra-slender maple neck made the J Bass® guitar the world’s 
most popular bass. Comes in 3-color sunburst.

LOVELESS #1
Written by Brian Azzarello
Art and cover by Marcelo Frusin
	Fresh off his white-hot run on SUPERMAN, Eisner award-winning writer Brian 
Azzarello 
(100 BULLETS, BATMAN) has created a Western for the new millennium. Reuniting 
with HELLBLAZER artist Marcelo Frusin, Azzarello has fashioned a tough-as-nails 
monthly series that combines all the bloody action and atmosphere of a Sergio Leone film 
with the provocative storytelling of HBO’s Deadwood. The extra-sized 40-page issue #1 
is just $2.99; future issues are 32 pages.
	Wes Cutter is a wanted man running from a violent past — the horrors of the 
Civil War, a brutal stint in a Union prison camp, and the savage fallout of Reconstruction. 
Now he’s on a quest for the one thing in short supply: peace. Joining Wes is his beautiful 
wife Ruth, a woman who has been to hell and back herself — and hides dark secrets of 
her own. 
	The road they travel will be a bloody one, leaving a trail of bodies stretching from 
Missouri to the Pacific Ocean. This is a tale only Azzarello — the mind behind some of 
the hardest-hitting comics of the last decade — could tell.

who brings his people together before giving his throne to his son Mosiah. By contrast

The first volume is an extra big 64-page installment that follows the Prophet Lehi from 
Jerusalem, the establishment of the plates, and spectacular visions of the future including

contort to form demonic lupine engines of fang and claw. Now, armed only with vengeful 
fury and bullets of pure silver, he will brave a night of fire and bestial fury to save all that 
he loves. In the woods of upstate New York, the shadows run red as the Blood Clan

THE GLAMOR GIRLS OF DON FLOWERS TP

When the life of Don Flowers was cut short in 1968 by the ill effects of emphysema, he 
left behind a career in newspaper cartooning that spanned more than four decades as well 
as one of the most fluid lines to grace the comics page. His cartoons evoked the art of 
Russell Patterson and Hank Ketcham, and nowhere was this more evident than in his 
quintessential single-panel pin-up cartoon, the aptly named Glamor Girls. Don Flowers' 
Glamor Girls also features a foreward by cartoon legend Sergio Aragonés and an 
introductory essay by editor Alex Chun. MATURE THEMES.

QUIMBY THE MOUSE SC
by Chris Ware
Cleverly appropriated old-fashioned animation imagery and advertising styles of the 
1920s and 1930s are put to use in Quimby at the service of modern vignettes of angst and 
existentialism. As this cartoon silhouette of a mouse ignominiously suffers at every turn, 
the spaces between the panels create despair and a Beckett-like rhythm of hope deceived 
and deferred, buoying Quimby from page to page. Quimby collects all the material from 
the out-of-print Acme Novelty Library #2 and #4, as well as a selection of previously 
uncollected strips and some new material. (STAR19334)

political theory with a pigtailed eco-warrior, as Zen Pug observes it all in blissful 
detachment. They drag her pop culture-bedazzled brother, his anarchist boyfriend and

O/A ICE HAVEN GN
"It's not as cold here as it sounds." So declares Random Wilder, would-be poet laureate. 
Would be, were it not for the archival poet Ida Wentz. Random is our ersatz guide to the 
sleepy midwestern hamlet, and just one of the many character we meet in Ice Haven. 
While Dan Clowes has gotten a nod from the mainstream — and Oscar nomination for 
the screen adaptation of Ghost World — his work remains wonderfully idiosyncratic and 
imaginative. The lives of the men and women of Ice Haven are woven into a multi-
layered tale inspired by the infamous Leopold and Loeb. Only Daniel Clowes could do it, 
and luckily for his many fans, he has! NOTE: This item may be available through other

THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD: THE ART OF JIM APARO SC
For a generation of comic-book readers, Jim Aparo is considered the greatest Batman 
artist of them all. Aparo together with Batman, made a team worthy of the title, The 
Brave and the Bold. But while the Batman team-up book was where fans could most 
commonly find Aparo’s work, he first made his name on such series as Aquaman, the 
controversial Spectre, and the mysterious Phantom Stranger, and is considered by many 
to be the definitive artist for each. Now, Scott Beatty along with Eric Nolen-Weathington 
turn the Bat Signal onto the life and work of one of comics’ finest: Jim Aparo. From his 
time in the world of advertising art, through the heyday of the ’70s, and beyond the death 
of Robin, Aparo’s career is finally given the attention it so richly deserves. The book is 
lavishly illustrated with Aparo’s work — including many rare and previously-
unpublished pieces. Introduction by award-winning comic book artist, Alan Davis!

compiled by Douglas Ellis
Adventure House

The colorfully covered, cheaply printed pulp magazine of the 1920s and 30s were a staple 
of popular culture that offered every genre of readership the sensual thrills, adventures, 
and entertainment they craved. This tribute to the "bad girls" introduces a wealth of 
colorful cover art from Pep, Saucy Stories, Spicy Adventure, and Bedtime Stories, and 
showcasing the work of such noted luminaries as Enoch Bolles, Peter Driben, Earle 
Bergey, Norman Saunders, H. J. Ward, and Zoë Mozert, among many others, all 
capturing the provocative sense and taste of what the glory years of pulp magazines had 
to offer their enthusiastic readers. Uncovered uncovers the "Girlie Pulps" like no other 
book ever has! (STAR19785)

impeccably reproduced in full color.”

AQUARIAN AGE: JUVENILE ORION VOLUME 2 TP
by Sakurako Gokurakuin
Broccoli International

Five guardians of the present hold the key to the future! The world is not what it seems. 
Secretly, young girls from three different factions have been fighting to rule the world for 
ages: the mystical Arayashi, the secret society of WIZ-DOM, and Darklore, decedents of 
an ancient race. In the 21st century — the era astrologists refer as the Aquarian Age — a 
new sect of girls have banded together as the Evolutional Girls Organization (E.G.O.) to 
battle against the established factions. As the factions ready for battle, a new threat looms 
over the horizon — an alien fleet orbits the earth, one with the ability to wipe out enemies 
completely and instantly, thus earning the name "Erasers." And so rises the age of chaos. 
The fate of the Earth — of the galaxy — will be decided in the Aquarian Age! 
(JUN042315)

right.”

mirror, the fact remains that Mary Shelley knew not what she wrought during that 
haunted summer of 1816, and this volume is the latest effort in a relatively short line that 
tries to explain, looking at both cinema past and present, the meaning of Boris Karloff’s 
immortal words from 1935’s Bride of Frankenstein—“We belong dead!”  (575)  (CAUT:
