Celebrating fifty years of strange and thought-provoking storytelling!

As the sun beats down, the bulbs swell, threatening to burst - and all who come into contact with them will burn! The signature curse of the Man-Thing has gone global! NEW VILLAIN HARROWER is trying to scorch humanity from the face of the planet - and when she discovers the Nexus of All Realities, her twisted mission becomes all the more apocalyptic!

Unless Earth's greatest heroes can somehow rejuvenate the Man-Thing and help him reclaim his power, the whole world will be made to know fear - and to burn at its touch!

Welcome to Nothing!

Despite its name, this is a fantastic land where humans and magical volken coexist peacefully - at least they try to coexist... This is the tale of Nathan, an ordinary human (or so he thinks) living an ordinary life (or so he wishes).

Everything changes when he wakes up in the middle of nowhere and meets Haven, a mysterious creature who is neither human nor volken. Oh, and the two of them are being chased by volken mercenaries: a grumpy wolf named Bardou and a delightful crow named Sina. Nathan soon learns he has mysterious powers inside him, even though humans aren't supposed to have magic. But there's no time to dwell on that because this discovery sets the group on a perilous quest with the fate of Nothing resting on Nathan's shoulders!

We live in a savage society of imperfect endings veiled by a thin veneer of civility. Nothing Is Golden is a line of irreverent postcard books and merchandise for adults that parody, among other things, famous children's book brands. Inspired by real life slices of life, the front of each postcard in the books sports an imaginary children's book illustration and title with an accompanying editorial comment on the backside, such as the illustrated cover title, "Punch the Bunny" with the editorial comment, "A Touch and Feel Book for the real world."

Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 60 pages,PC/PB&W.

Volume 1 - 1st printing.

Based on the story by Marcel Proust. Adapted by Stephane Heuet.

Now in trade paperback!

Proust, now a teenager, describes his first separation from his mother, a vacation taken in a high class beach resort in Normandy. Besides the fleeting visions of young girls, he also keenly observes, without acidity but detached amusement, the petty sophistry of the French upper class in its genteel environs, safely removed from the lower ones. An important social question is to know whether the pane of glass will always protect the feast of the marvelous beasts and if the obscure people peering at them through the night will not come and pick them out of their aquarium and eat them.

Softcover, 8 1/2-in. x 11-in., 48 pages, full color.
