A treasure not gold or jewels, but the island's barbaric god, a monstrous anthropoid called "Kong." The savage giant escaped and wreaked havoc among the man-made canyons of Manhattan, but within hours of the giant ape's death plummet from the peak of the Empire State Building, his body-and Carl Denham-disappeared.

Authorized by the Cooper Estate and based on the original novel that inspired the all-time classic film, Kong: King of Skull Island is a lavishly illustrated, all-new novel that acts as both prequel and sequel to the classic fantasy tale, King Kong.

    By Stefan Hammond and Mike Wilkins. Foreword by Jackie Chan. Preface by Michelle Yeoh.

    How and why did films from Hong Kong become so popular? Hong Kong was a safe space for filmmakers seeking to profit from overseas Chinese markets and Chinatowns worldwide. By the 1980s, Hong Kong's Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan were famous throughout Asia, while filmmakers like Tsui Hark and Ringo Lam served up fantasy, horror and noir crime dramas for rabid cinemagoing hordes in the grindhouses of Kowloon.

    More Sex, Better Zen, Faster Bullets is the most comprehensive encyclopedia of Hong Kong film available anywhere.

Brilliant anime director Satoshi Kon (Paprika, Paranoia Agent, Tokyo Godfathers, Millennium Actress, Perfect Blue) died tragically young in 2010 at the age of forty-six. But before he became a director, he was a manga artist, and Dark Horse is honored to remember Kon with the release of Satoshi Kon's OPUS, an omnibus collection of a two-volume manga from 1996, created by Kon on the eve of his first film. OPUS contains the mastery of both realism and surrealism that would make Kon famous in Perfect Blue, as a manga artist planning a shocking surprise ending to his story gets literally pulled into his own work-to face for himself what he had planned for his characters! Satoshi Kon was a Time magazine 2010 Person of the Year. Kon was eulogized by director Darren Aronofsky. Kon was a chief assistant to Katsuhiro Otomo on the Akira manga. Printed on prestige paper; first four pages are in color. Softcover, 6-in. x 8-in., 384 pages, B&W. Cover price $19.99.
