Writers: Mario Hernandez, Gilbert Hernandez
Pencils: Gilbert Hernandez

Part 1 of 6
"What compels life without a soul?"

Comics legends Gilbert and Mario Hernandez join forces to present a bizarre, sexy view of the future and what it means to be human. Twenty years ago, the most famous, lifelike robot in the world was engulfed in scandal, arrested, and deactivated. Since then, an anti-robot movement has developed, while body modification is in and prosthetic limbs have become hot, black-market items.

Stories like these are the stock-in-trade of gossip columnist Sergio Bauntin, whose startling revelations earn him the constant scrutiny of both the mob and the city's mysterious investigators, the Truth Takers. When Sergio catches wind of sightings of the long-missing robot celebrity CTZ-RX, all of these interests will collide in violence and intrigue.

It's sci-fi adventure with beautiful women by Los Bros. Hernandez!

Things go from bad to worse when Natohk unveils some supernatural, deadly, and horrifying surprises. Conan's first command may be his last!

CREEPY ARCHIVES VOLUME 4 HC

Publisher: Dark Horse Comics
Writers: Various
Pencils: Various

Pulpy, smart, and scary, the stories in Creepy constituted some of the best short-form horror fiction ever told in comics. With legendary comics writer/editor Archie Goodwin both editing the magazine and crafting most of its storytelling, Creepy was at once a newsstand favorite with fright fans, and a vaunted showcase of fine comics art for serious fans of the art form. For decades, the only sources for these stories were the expensive collectible original issues. Now Dark Horse is collecting all of the original material from the history of Creepy magazine into a hardcover archive library that is garnering rave reviews from fans and critics alike!

* " . . . this superlatively packaged Creepy Archives hardcover is a fine dénouement for fans of EC and comics history." -- Boston Weekly Dig

* Grab your bleeding glasses and crack open this fourth big volume, collecting Creepy issues #16-#20.

"Since the stock is much finer than the authentic newsprint, visually, these pages are better than the originals, with moodly, dark blacks that punctuate the shock endings." -Publishers Weekly
