(W) Thierry Gronesteen (A) Geoffrey Hayes (CA) Jens Harder

In The Expanding Art of Comics: Ten Modern Masterpieces, prominent scholar Thierry Groensteen offers a distinct perspective on important evolutions in comics since the 1960s through close readings of ten seminal works. He covers over half a century of comics production, sampling a single work from the sixties (Ballad of the Salt Sea by Hugo Pratt), seventies (The Airtight Garage of Jerry Cornelius by Moebius), eighties (Watchmen by ALAN MOORE and Dave Gibbons), and nineties (Epileptic by David B.). Then this remarkable critic and scholar delves into recent masterpieces, such as Building Stories by Chris Ware.

HELLBOY LIBRARY HC #1

SEED DESTRUCTION DEVIL

(W) John Byrne (A) Mike Mignola (CA) Mike Mignola

Since Mike Mignola's Hellboy first hit the stands in 1993, it has become a cultural sensation, racking up a dozen Eisner Awards and inspiring numerous spinoffs, from a novel line, to video games, to feature films. Now, Dark Horse is pleased to present the comics that started it all, collected in deluxe hardcover editions. Sized at a generous 9" x 12", and handsomely bound to match The Art of Hellboy, each volume contains two complete story-arcs-the equivalent of two full trade-paperbacks. Each volume of the Hellboy Library Edition also includes extensive supplemental materials, including previously unreleased sketches and designs. •  Hellboy Volume 1 collects the first two story-arcs - Seed of Destruction and Wake the Devil-with the original introductions by Robert Bloch and ALAN MOORE. •  Expanded Mignola sketchbook sections.

LOEG TEMPEST #5

ONEILL

(W) ALAN MOORE (A) Kevin O'Neill (CA) Kevin O'Neill

Ostensibly a cheap British reprint of pre-code American horror, this penultimate stop on Moore and O'Neill's pyrotechnic farewell tour takes us from the tortured mind of artist Richard Dadd to a London swallowed by darkness; from a spectacular 3D struggle in the Blazing World to some jaw-dropping vengeance in Vauxhall and a conclusion that is out of this world. Meanwhile our Seven Stars finally come face to writhing mess with the monstrous menace of the 'Mass while providing origins for both Satin Astro and the Flash Avenger. Don't miss the never-to-be-repeated cavalcade of wonders that is The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Volume IV: The Tempest.
