David
Mazzucchelli’s Daredevil Born Again: Artist’s
Edition
Frank Miller (w) David Mazzucchelli (a &
c)
Daredevil Born Again. That title strikes a chord with comic fans
who know what it means. Fans who know that it represents two of the
finest creators at the absolute peaks of their game. David
Mazzucchelli's superhero work had reached an artistic apex when
this series was released, and the same is true for Frank Miller's
writing. Together they combined to craft a story of extraordinary
impact that is still regarded as a true masterpiece.
Collecting the entire storyline of Born Again, this book will
feature the complete issues of Daredevil numbers 227, 228, 229,
230, 231, 232 and 233, plus covers and extras. Each page was
personally scanned by Mazzucchelli from his own original art. This
is the largest Artist's Edition yet, weighing in at a rock solid
200 pages of beautiful Mazzucchelli art in the way you've always
wanted to see it—the next bet thing to holding the actual
original art!

• What is an Artist’s
Edition?
AN ARTIST'S EDITION PRESENTS COMPLETE STORIES WITH EACH PAGE
SCANNED FROM THE ACTUAL ORIGINAL ART.
While appearing to be in black & white, each page has been
scanned in COLOR to mimic as closely as possible the experience of
viewing the actual original art—for example, you are able to
clearly see paste-overs, blue pencils in the art, editorial notes,
art corrections. Each page is printed the same size as drawn, and
the paper selected is as close as possible to the original art
board.

with Bloom County, is back! Soon after retiring Bloom
County—and at the peak of its popularity—Breathed
returned with an all-new Sunday only newspaper strip: OUTLAND.
Debuting just four weeks after the final Bloom County was
published, and with many of the same cast members, Outland
continues on in the same traditions set forth by its
forebears—ranging from delightful whimsy to raging satire!
This volume contains every Outland strip published, some never
before collected in book form, and nearly all have been scanned
from the original art, provided by breathed from his personal
archives. More than 280 Sunday pages, all in fully re-mastered
color, from September 3, 1989 through March 26, 1995. As an added
bonus, this volume will have a selection of the extremely rare
Academia Waltz, the college strip Breathed did as a precursor to
Bloom County!

V-Wars

Jonathan Maberry, Nancy Holder, Yvonne Navarro, James A. Moore,
Gregory Frost, John Everson, Keith R.A. DeCandido, and Scott
Nicholson (w)
A sweeping threaded narrative of the global phenomenon known as the
Vampire Wars.
Mankind has been silently infected by millennia-old bacteria
unknowingly exhumed by a scientific expedition in Antarctica. Now,
in some rare cases, a person’s so-called “junk
DNA” becomes activated, and depending on their racial and
ethnic heritage they begin to manifest one of the many diverse
forms of the “others” that are the true basis for the
legends of supernatural creatures. These aren’t your usual
vampires and werewolves—it goes much deeper than that.
Conceived by Jonathan Maberry, V WARS features stories from various
“frontlines” as reported by such contributors as Nancy
Holder, Yvonne Navarro, James A. Moore, Gregory Frost, John
Everson, Keith R.A. DeCandido, and Scott Nicholson (as well as
Maberry himself, of course).
The result is a compelling series of tales that create a unique
chronicle of mankind’s response to this sudden, hidden threat
to humanity.
