FOR SOME PEOPLE, IT’S ALWAYS MIDNIGHT . . .

From the mind of writer Barry Gifford (Wild at Heart, Lost Highway), adapted by That Texas Blood’s Chris Condon and a rotating cast of visionary artists—including Brian Level (Poison Ivy), Alexandre Tefenkgi (The Good Asian), Artyom Topilin (I Hate This Place) and Marco Finnegan (The Keeper)—come four interconnected stories of convicts, lost souls, and human monsters journeying through a labyrinth of perversion, religious dogma, and murder in the Deep South.

A pair of murderous lovers in Florida carrying out a bloody agenda. A perverse political and religious power struggle between a brother and a sister. An easygoing drifter who suddenly finds himself a fugitive on the run. And a bright-eyed young girl discovering her place in the cold dark world. At the end of the twentieth century, chaos and horror were the American dream.

Collecting Night People #1–4.

By: Tatsuya Morino (Adapter), Daiun Miki (Author)

When your house is haunted by demons, who do you call?

The beautiful city of Kyoto has an ancient history but beneath its placid exterior lies a dark and secretive world of supernatural phenomena. When people are terrorized by spirits, demons, ghosts and monsters they seek out Daiun Miki, a real-life priest at Renkyuji Temple. Known throughout Japan as the “Ghost Story Priest,” Miki retells the stories of the desperate people he counsels and protects from these otherworldly creatures.

The eleven horrifying true stories in this book include:

Broken Mirrors — A couple believe the mirrors in their home are cursed when they begin to show far more than their reflections

The Monster of Funaoka Mountain — A group of boys spend the night in a “haunted” park only to discover that legends are often more than mere myths

Kokeshi Doll Mother — An orphan girl develops a powerful bond with her precious doll but when her friend comes between them the consequences turn deadly

The Smell of Impending Death — Daiun explains his ability to smell the stench of death on people who are about to die, and how this is more of a curse than a blessing

And seven other chilling tales!

Meticulously adapted by manga artist Tatsuya Morino, Tales of a Kyoto Ghost Story Priest is a fascinating look at the ghostly world of Kyoto from the perspective of a real Buddhist priest.

By: Michael Fleisher (Author), Roy Thomas (Author), Bruce Jones (Author), John Buscema (Illustrator), Ernie Colon (Illustrator)

Conan at his finest! Savage, brutal and always… EPIC!

Freed from the strict Comic Code Authority stamp of approval, the Savage Sword of Conan magazine was always more hard-hitting and savage than its sister title Conan the Barbarian, and featured more action, violence and raunch and Omnibus Volume 5 of the original comic series is no exception.

This volume sees Michael Fleisher and Bruce Jones joining stalwart regular Roy Thomas on the writing duties, and artist Ernie Chan joining legends Ernie Colan and Gil Kane on art duties. Omnibus Volume 5 carries on the legacy in fine form!

New writers Michael Fleisher and Bruce Jones join Conan legend John Buscema to drive the barbarian’s black-and-white adventures in savage new directions! To topple a decadent royal, Conan must brave a moat of blood filled with gruesome monsters. The barbarian survives a ship capsizing in storm-tossed seas, only to awaken on the shores of an island filled with beautiful but deadly tiger-riding women warriors! Then, sadistic King Razak lures Conan into a death-filled maze. Writer Roy Thomas returns for a locked-door mystery set at sea, with Conan playing the sleuth. Plus, comic art master Alex Toth delivers a stunning Conan art portfolio. This volume also brings back fan-favorite characters like Jenna and Murilo to the supporting cast.

This volume sees classic stories such as “Plunder of Death Island”, “Dwellers in the Depths”, ‘The Sea of No Return” and “Lurker in the Labyrinth” giving full reign to the savagery of Conan. Featuring the usual assortment of superb pin up art by some true greats of the comic book form. This book also features a section of rarely seen bonus material!

Ryunosuke Akutagawa’s Hell Screen : The Manga Edition (Tuttle Japanese Classics in Manga) Available March 25

#horror – #horrorcomics – #comicbooks – #RyunosukeAkutagawasHellScreen – @TuttleBooks – #Mihiro – #RyunosukeAkutagawa –

By: Mihiro (Adapter), Ryunosuke Akutagawa (Author)

A chilling horror story of artistic obsession and the price of perfection, based on the classic tale by Ryunosuke Akutagawa!

Hell Screen follows Yoshihide, a renowned but tormented artist who, despite his talent, is rude, lazy and avaricious. Known for his abrasive demeanor, Yoshihide’s one light is the deep affection he harbors for his daughter, Yuzuki. When she enters the service of the powerful Lord Horikawa, tensions rise between the artist and the lord’s court, especially after disturbing rumors of Yuzuki’s treatment emerge.

Tasked with painting a monumental screen depicting the torments of hell, Yoshihide’s dedication takes a dark turn as he pushes the boundaries of morality in his quest for authenticity. As his obsession with capturing human suffering intensifies, the line between creation and cruelty blurs, leading to devastating consequences.

Akutagawa’s story is a masterful exploration of the intersection between art and madness, power and exploitation. Revered as one of Japan’s greatest writers, Akutagawa’s work continues to influence modern storytelling, with Hell Screen standing out as a haunting meditation on the sacrifices demanded by art.

In Eugenic, when a plague ravages the world, one scientist discovers the cure and becomes the savior of mankind, and then people who took the cure begin having children who are… unnatural, and the definition of “normal” is forever altered. This deluxe collection not only contains the trilogy of self-contained horror comics from the GLAAD Award-nominated team of James Tynion IV (Something is Killing the Children, Department of Truth) and Eryk Donovan (Constantine: The Hellblazer), but acts as a precursor to other hit series from the mind of Tynion like Something is Killing the Children, w0rldtr33, and The Nice House At The Lake.
