Comic books 2009 w/ month not specified

Volume 1 - 2nd and later printings. "Inferno!" In eighteenth-century Venisalle, faith governs life and death, and the guilty hide their shame behind masks, showing their faces only in the secret rites of the confessional. It is to this stronghold of the Inquisition that the souls of Hell have escaped to possess the living, spreading sin, murder, and chaos. Amid the carnage, one man is blessed with the clarity to recognize the demons that prey on his countrymen-and the means to return them to the fires of Hell. But as the stakes rise, the lines separating good and evil begin to blur, and the Marquis-the dark avenger whom even demons fear to cross-finds himself torn between the blind faith that has defined his life and the bitter truths exposed under his new sight. Featuring an introduction by Hellboy creator Mike Mignola and a 56-page sketchbook. Also includes a full-color cover gallery featuring work by Matt Wagner, Mike Mignola, Charles Vess, Teddy Kristiansen, Kelley Jones, and Michael Gaydos! Softcover, 336 pages, B&W. Cover price $24.95.

2nd and later printings. Written by JOHN RHETT THOMAS. Art and cover by MARKO DJURDJEVIC. Marko Djurdjevic burst onto the scene from obscurity, a passionate artist sharing his work online. The quality of his illustrations needed no explanation beyond that which was obvious at first glance: the sleekly stylized figure work, his masterful command of colors, and the layers and subtext that formed an essential part of his vision. It was a short trip from anonymity to his current status as one of Marvel's most compelling cover artists. This lush art book will feature a treasure trove of Marko's cover illustrations - plus sketches, designs and extensive discussion about the process that has made him one of Marvel's most popular artists. In collaboration with the artist himself, and with input from his peers, THE ART OF MARKO DJURDJEVIC will be the kind of deluxe art book you'll be proud to show off to friends and fellow art fans. Hardcover, 11 1/2-in. x 10 1/2-in., 200 pages, full color. Cover price $49.99.
