The Bastard Samurai trade collects the sold out critically acclaimed miniseries with a special bonus section!.

The trade also features an extensive look behind the scenes into the creative process of Oeming, Gunter and Shannon.

Detective Inspector Jericho Strange heads up the Endangered Species Squad, a unit within Brit-Cit's Justice Department charged with investigating arcane cases. His exposure to a supernatural artifact called the "Black Mirror" has left him with a face his new partner, Becky Darke, will never forget...

1st printing. Written by Thierry Smolderen. Art and cover by Philippe Marcele. This European Thelma & Louise begins with a supermarket robbery in which Marielle's son and Stella's husband are killed. Afterwards, Marielle isn't recovering the way she's supposed to because she hasn't followed the path laid out by her psychologist and her ex-husband. She has to find her own way to live with the results of the trauma, both physical and psychological. When she sees the gunman again and no one, not even the police, believes her, she and Stella, who's been hiding a violent secret of her own, decide to handle their own surveillance and revenge. Along the way, they become lovers as well as compatriots. The title means "Black Rage," the kind of emotion that sweeps over and carries one away, excusing actions that would otherwise be unbelievable. Grey tones fill out pages and add the depth that the unvarying thin line art takes away. The setting is a fully realized world with detailed backgrounds, fleshed-out cameo characters and well-rounded leads. Marcel‚ punctuates standard panels with slivers of head shots to emphasize strong emotions, and he makes dramatic events more realistic through prosaic, direct art with a minimum of flashy techniques. The story is a comfortably paced unwinding of the aftermath of horrendous, life-changing events. After such a finely detailed story, the ending comes surprisingly abruptly, with lots of twists and turns in the last few pages that may require re-reading. It's a riveting story about the way unexpected violence can change one's life. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 144 pages, B&W. Mature Readers Cover price $14.95.

The latest addition to Marvel's red-hot Noir line offers a unique spin on the Man Without Fear!

1st printing. Hermes Press continues its long association with the original Gothic suspense television series "Dark Shadows" with the publication of the first-ever photographic art book devoted to the cult favorite which made sympathetic vampire Barnabas Collins a household name. Dark Shadows debuted June 27, 1966 on ABC-TV as the first daytime drama styled in the tradition of a Gothic novel. The show was the dream of producer Dan Curtis, who brought an exciting new format to the weekday schedule of standard fare soap operas. The pages in the volume feature images shot in black-and-white, spanning the series earliest days – before ghosts and vampires, when Dark Shadows most closely resembled a 1940s noir film – through its final episodes. As the series took a more fanciful direction, many of the plots retained an underlying tension and tone faithful to its origins, serving up a special hybrid... Dark Shadows NOIR. Featuring 256 pages, DARK SHADOWS NOIR features stunning full-page mono-chromatic images from the legendary television program, including dozens of previously unseen images from the archive of "Dark Shadows" creator Dan Curtis Productions. For 1,225 episodes, "Dark Shadows" thrilled over 20 million viewers during its five-year run with imaginative stories devoted to hidden mysteries, lost loves, time travel and supernatural characters. Late creator-executive producer Dan Curtis drew upon classic mystery, horror and romance tales ranging from "Jane Eyre" and "The Crucible" to "Wuthering Heights" to "Turn of the Screw" to enthrall captivated audiences. The ground-break sets, elaborate costumes and atmospheric lighting depicted on the series will be on stunning display in DARK SHADOWS NOIR with all images scanned in high resolution from original 35mm negatives and vintage fiber prints for rich CMYK reproduction of superior quality. DARK SHADOWS NOIR will serve as the ultimate souvenir for the 60th anniversary of "Dark Shadows" which continues to remain extremely popular via streaming services,televised reruns, DVD and BluRay releases, new merchandising and fan conventions. Hardcover, 10-in. x 11-in. 256 pages, B&W. Cover price $65.00.
