SUPER HUMAN RESOURCES #1 (of 4)

Publisher: Ape Entertainment
Writers: Ken Marcus
Pencils: Justin Bleep
Covers: Justin Bleep

The Human Resources department of Super Crises International includes all the ordinary folks behind the comic panels that keep your favorite heroes up and running. They file expense reports for hovercrafts, refill the coffee filters, FedEx out the anti-matter nullifiers and clean up the conference rooms after crossovers gone horribly wrong.

In other words, Super Crises International is pretty much like the office you work at. Only stir in a butt-load of circus freaks, with capes, claws and radioactive half-lives. Or as we like to call them, “your co-workers.”

Welcome to Super Human Resources. Your cube is right this way.

“If you ever had a job, Super Human Resources is FUNNY. If you ever liked superheroes, Super Human Resources is VERY FUNNY.” - Joe Kelly (Spider-Man, Action Comics, JLA, Deadpool.)

Part 1 of 3
Twenty years to the month after its original Comico publication, Dark Horse is proud to re-present The Amazon, some of the earliest work from acclaimed writer Steven T. Seagle and superstar artist Tim Sale!

Reporter Malcolm Hillard travels to this remote land of mystery to investigate the disappearance of an American worker and sabotage at a timber site. Locals tell him it is the work of spirits of the Amazon, but Malcolm doesn't believe in anything like that -- until he sees something he can't explain deep in the jungle.

* This remastered edition has been scanned from Tim Sale's original artwork and recolored by Matt Hollingsworth, with a new cover by Sale and Dave Stewart!

Publisher: Dark Horse Comics
Writers: Evan Dorkin, Rich Hedden, Bob Fingerman, John Arcudi
Pencils: Kyle Hotz, Peter Gross, Sibin, Doug Mahnke, and others

A mystical artifact from the ancient past, the relic known only as the Mask imbues its wearer with nearly limitless power . . . face-stretching, mallet-forming, clock-smashing power. Slap the Mask on your mug and nothing is beyond your reach-or the reach of a pie bomb-which is why every crook, grifter, creep, hood, miscreant, scofflaw, and other words in the thesaurus are out to get their mitts on it. The hunt for the valued vizard (thanks again, thesaurus!) goes from sea to shining sea, involving voodoo, Amazonian tribesmen, ninjas (sweet!), mafiosi, Crypto-Nazis . . . and the Bardard Thespian Club!

* The Mask Omnibus Volume 2 collects over 350 maniacal story pages, never before collected, of the acclaimed comics series that inspired the megahit motion picture.

* Featuring the talents of Evan Dorkin, Kyle Hotz, Bob Fingerman, Peter Gross, John Arcudi, Doug Mahnke, and more.

OH MY GODDESS! VOLUME 11 TP AUTHENTIC EDITION

Publisher: Dark Horse Comics
Writers: Kosuke Fujishima

If three goddesses are good, surely four must be better? Not for Keiichi, whose strange power to attract divine trouble has just dialed "P" for Peorth--Belldandy's rival in the helping-humans-out-by-phone biz. But Peorth wonders why Belldandy's still hanging around Keiichi if she's really fulfilled his wishes, and is determined to provide him better "service"--no matter how fast he tries to run! Plus six pages of color, twelve Mini-Goddess strips, a message from creator Kosuke Fujishima, and your fan art and letters!

* Oh My Goddess! is the longest-running manga on the U.S. market (since 1994!) and inspired the new novel from Dark Horse, Oh My Goddess!--First End, and two recent anime TV series from Media Blasters and ADV Films, as well as the import Belldandy figure from Kotobukiya!

"Oh My Goddess! is an eternally charming manga series with magical humor and a big heart." -ActiveAnime.com

Praise for The Perry Bible Fellowship:

"A work of sheer brilliance." -Jim Woodring (Frank)

"PBF is hilarious and fucked-up in a very sublime way." -Scott McCloud (Understanding Comics)

"Nick Gurewitch's strip is one of the few strips that makes me laugh out loud. It's really funny and if newspapers still cared about funny strips, he'd be in more papers, as he should. Except if they bump mine for him." -Tony Millionaire (Maakies, Sock Monkey)

TARZAN: THE JESSE MARSH YEARS VOLUME 1 HC

Publisher: Dark Horse Comics
Writers: Gaylord DuBois
Pencils: Jesse Marsh

Dark Horse Archives is proud to present the first four issues of this influential Golden Age series in a handsome hardcover -- kicking off a comprehensive program that will collect the first nineteen years of the classic title!

In 1947, artist Jesse Marsh left Walt Disney Studios-where he had worked on Pinocchio, Fantasia, and various animated shorts -- to work for Western Publishing full time. Tarzan was one of his first assignments, with the iconic character's first original comic-book appearance in Dell Four-Color Comics #134. Tarzan #2 would begin Marsh's long-term collaboration with writer Gaylord DuBois. Their terrific work drew admiration and respect from readers and peers -- Russ Manning among them -- and Marsh's art inspired future comics creators from Richard Corben to Los Bros. Hernandez!

"THE SLEEPERS", Part 1
To give the full details of this story would spoil the dramatic finale of the "New Krypton" crossover, and we don't want to do that! Suffice to say, a "World Without Superman" is a very dangerous place, indeed, and the only thing standing between the good (and not so good) folks of Earth and an impending shadow of doom are the all-new Nightwing and Flamebird!

Eisner Award-winning writer Greg Rucka (FINAL CRISIS: REVELATIONS) teams with rising star Eddy Barrows (TEEN TITANS) to kick off a bold new era for ACTION COMICS!
