Art: Oscar Jimenez
Readership: MR
Format: Full Color, 32 pages, on-going monthly

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Gravel’s explosive monthly series continues! The ancient Sigsand Manuscript, now in the hands of the Minor Seven, is far too powerful to be possessed by Britain’s great Occult Detectives. At least, that’s Combat Magician William Gravel’s opinion, as he continues his quest to collect all six pieces of the supernatural text from his former associates. But the next man on Gravel’s hit-list has found him first, and on the dark and fog-shrouded highland moors, a surprising confrontation will take place with an outcome that Gravel could never have anticipated. Sykes, the oldest of the Minor Seven, is one of the few still alive who personally knew the Sigsand’s previous owner, Thomas Carnacki. But will Gravel survive long enough to hear the finale of one of Carnacki’s most astounding cases or will the black hellhounds that accompany Sykes end Gravel’s quest at its midpoint? This issue is available with a regular cover by Mike Wolfer, a wraparound by Raulo Caceres, and also a rare 1-in-15 Black Magic Edition featuring a new cover by Wolfer.

Format: Full Color, 40 pages, one shot

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Celebrate the 40th Anniversary of a true iconic horror movie classic! NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD co-creator John Russo brings you a new tale of terror set during the night that changed the world forever. The Eastern United States is in chaos as hordes of the undead wage war against the living, and increasingly frantic television transmissions are the only source of information available to a terrified populace. But there is no escape from the living dead and no safe place to hide, not even the WIIC-TV studio where original NOTLD news anchorman Chuck Blaine has some difficult decisions to make: Should his heroic news crew continue their emergency public broadcasts, or run from the army of ghouls amassing outside the station? More importantly, should he continue to disseminate questionable government recommendations that could be luring viewers into inescapable death traps? This special bonus-sized tale features appearances by some of the original film’s most memorable characters, including the recently deceased Johnny, Barbra and little Karen Cooper! This jumbo size issue is available with Regular, Gore, Rotting, and Terror covers by interior artist Edison George, and a Painted cover by Lucio Rubira. As special treat, there is a Triple Cast Signed Edition that is signed by original actors John Russo, Russ (”Johnny”) Streiner and the very rare autograph of George (”Sheriff”) Kosana, that comes packaged with a certificate of authenticity.
