    Published Feb 2008 by Avatar.

    Cover by Mike Wolfer. by Warren Ellis, Mike Wolfer & Raulo Caceres It's never a dull day, being a Magician. The mad mind of Warren Ellis is once again unleashed on combat magician William Gravel, this time on a full-color, on-going monthly series! Magic. Everyone thought that he was dead, including the Minor Seven, the secret enclave of Britain's Occult Detectives. But Combat Magician William Gravel is very much alive and looking for the answers to how and why his place in the Minor Seven was filled by another and what the secret society is doing with the Sigsand Manuscript, an ancient supernatural text of unparalleled power. In a quiet, country cottage, Gravel will find the first clues to the Sigsand's location and in the darkness of the cottage's basement, a disturbing, unnatural thing that slithered into our dimension by the power of the ancient tome... Brought here from somewhere that mortal man could not possibly comprehend. The kind of magic that can strip the skin from a screaming man's skull, or direct the path of a shrieking bullet through a maze of city streets, striking its target between the eyes with pin-point accuracy. This is not just magic... This is Combat Magic, wielded by Sergeant Major William Gravel, Warren Ellis' cult-hit sensation from the pages of Strange Kiss and Strange Killings, now in his own, ongoing, full-color monthly series! This issue is available with a regular cover by Mike Wolfer, a wraparound by Raulo Caceres, a special Signed Poster edition package with a color poster of the #0 cover signed by artist Mike Wolfer, and also a rare 1-in-15 'Black Magic Edition' featuring a new cover by Wolfer.

    Gravel TPB (2009-2014 Avatar) By Warren Ellis 1-1ST

    Volume 1 - 1st printing. "Bloody Liars!" Collects Gravel (2008) #0-7. Written by Warren Ellis, and Mike Wolfer. Art by Raulo Caceres and Oscar Jimenez. Cover by Oscar Jimenez. Long-buried and lost in antiquity, a unique book of magic once existed, filled with such extraordinary and arcane spells, supernatural rites, and inherent power that its possessor would be either unequaled, or driven irrevocably insane. Recently unearthed, the Sigsand Manuscript has been divided into six pieces and distributed among the Minor Seven, Britain's great Occult Detectives. With the Sigsand in their grasp, the Seven now wield more power than they were ever meant to possess - and William Gravel is not happy about it. Once a member of their Order but unceremoniously replaced within their ranks, the SAS Sergeant Major and Combat Magician is on a mission of revenge, redemption, and quite possibly rebirth, as he takes on the members of the Minor Seven one-by-one. And God help each of Gravel's former colleagues should they decide not to relinquish their sections of the Sigsand to the one man who might have the supernatural skills and restraint to use the reconstituted manuscript without accidentally destroying the Earth in the process. They all promised to use the unholy power wisely, but Gravel knows they are all Bloody Liars! Softcover, full color. MATURE READERS Cover price $24.99.

    Graveland (2017 Scout) 1

    Written by Massimo Rosi. Art and Cover by Gabriel Ibarra Nunez. The San Andreas Fault finally has 'the Big One,' but not from natural occurrences. From the depths of the fault something emerges. Something of myth and legend that was mentioned in hushed tone by every ancient culture - giants, huge creatures from another time, awakened from the slumber and seeking to resume their conquest that has been delayed for a millennium. To mount a counteroffensive, the US government creates super-humans with an experimental serum. These four individuals may be the last chance for humanity as they are all the stands between civilization and the Giants! 28 pages, full color. Cover price $3.99.
