1st printing.

Written by Zabus. Art and cover by Hippolyte. Translated by Matt Madden.

To apply for asylum, Refugee 214 must tell his story. With him in the room are a man from his new country, and the shadows of four loved ones who did not survive the journey.

214 reveals how he and his younger sister fled their homes and set off toward the border; how they met and suffered with friends, and lost them; and how the plight of the refugee is an experience that erases differences between individuals, even as it threatens to erase the individuals themselves. The only one left to tell the tale, 214 swallows his fears and relates what he and the shadows saw and did, in the hope that his life and the lives of the others won't have been in vain.

Creators Zabus & Hippolyte present an intimate and heartrending look at one fictional refugee's story, while encompassing the larger plight of displaced people.

Hardcover, 176 pages, full color.

1st printing. Story and art by Cathy Malkasian. On the lonely road meet two outcasts — Doris, a small but spitfire woman and Stanwick, a shy and sensitive dog. Each of this unlikely pair harbors grief, and must decide whether to stay with the pain or run from it. On their journey, the two travel through lush forests, to the eerily abandoned town of echoes, clear to the mudder sea, where they finally confront the unbearable trauma of their pasts. Cartoonist Cathy Malkasians graphic novels are known to be crafted with layered, affecting allegory and metaphor, and Shadows of the Sea is no exception. In this story, shadows become characters themselves, weighed down with painful truth. They cannot be released until their owners acknowledge, reflect, and heal. Charged by the magic of the mudder sea, the shadows reveal the loss Doris and Stanwick have been carrying — a husband and a child — and sets them free at last. Hardcover, 8-in.x 10 1/2-in., 168 pages, B&W. Mature Readers Cover price $24.99.

Volume 1 - 1st printing. "Amelia Shadows and the New Head Ghost!" Story and art by Matthew Dow Smith. Amelia Shadows has never had what you might call a normal childhood. For one thing, her dads the most powerful dark magician in the world. And for another, she's spent her entire life in a house filled with ghosts and monsters and incredibly dangerous magical objects! As far as Amelia's concerned, her life's actually pretty cool. When Amelia and her cat, Clara, aren't having adventures or dealing with dimensional portals in the pantry, she's learning to be a dark magician, just like her dad, with the help of a ghost tutor named Gustave. You'd think a ghost tutor named Gustave would be pretty fun, but he's actually pretty boring. And if a boring ghost tutor wasn't bad enough, now Amelia's dad has hired another ghost to oversee things, Hans. Which wouldn't be that bad, except Hans has very strong opinions about how things should be around the house. This new head ghost has got to go, and Amelia may have a surprising ally… Magic and mischief and a life lesson or two from Matthew Dow Smith, creator of DCs Misfits of Magic and Mavericks The October Girl.
