    PERRY BIBLE FELLOWSHIP: THE TRIAL OF COLONEL SWEETO AND OTHER STORIES HC

    Publisher:
    Dark Horse Comics
    By: Nicholas Gurewitch

    Dark Horse Comics is proud to present The Perry Bible Fellowship: The Trial of Colonel Sweeto and Other Stories by acclaimed cartoonist Nicholas Gurewitch.

    The award-winning Perry Bible Fellowship has a achieved a cult following both online and in its weekly appearances in newspapers and magazines around the world. Now, for the first time, the hilarious cartoons of Nicholas Gurewitch are being collected in this handsome hardcover edition.

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

    "PBF is hilarious and f$#@ed-up in a very sublime way."
    -Scott McCloud (Understanding Comics)

    "Nicholas Gurewitch packs so many ingenious ideas--and so much dark, twisted humor--into three panels, they just about burst. The Perry Bible Fellowship is one of the flat-out funniest comic strips of all time." -Ruben Bolling (Tom the Dancing Bug)

    "I've been reading this guy since his first strip in The Guardian and he's the best new cartoonist since Bill Watterson. This is the reason paper was invented. Give him your money now." -Mark Millar

    "If Rod Serling had a sense of humor and an illustration degree, this would be his comic strip." -Tom Brazelton (Theater Hopper)

    "The Perry Bible Fellowship is what Bil Keane, Jim Davis, and the guy who draws Marmaduke would see if they closed their eyes and rubbed them with their fists. It is absurdist, comic fireworks, and I can't get enough of it." -Sam Means (The Daily Show)

    BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: PEGASUS (One Shot)

    Publisher:
    Dynamite Entertainment
    Writers: Brandon Jerwa
    Pencils: Jonathan Lau
    Covers: Greg Tocchini, Photo
    Colorists: Inlight Studio

    A special New Galactica one-shot featuring the unseen story of the Battlestar Pegasus and Commander Cain!

    Written by Brandon (SEASON ZERO, TOM ZAREK mini-series) Jerwa along with NEW Galactica artist Jonathan Lau, PEGASUS tells us the story of the great Battlestar in the events leading up to the Cylon Attack on the human colonies as seen in the "re-imagining" of Battlestar Galactica on the Sci-Fi Channel! All under two incredible covers, one by GREG (Thor) TOCCHINI and the other a fan-favorite Galactica Photo cover!

    Previous praise for Jerwa's Galactica work includes this from the Comics Waiting Room of his Zarek mini-series: "ZAREK is an intense, personal piece of work, and the best work I've seen from Brandon to date. And the fact that he was allowed to give this much background and detail to a character still being seen on Sunday nights is remarkable. If you're a fan of Galactica, this is even more of a must-read than the main book."

    CHIAROSCURO HC

    Publisher:
    IDW Publishing
    Writers: Troy Little
    Pencils: Troy Little
    Covers: Troy Little

    Chiaroscuro is the story of Steven Patch, an unemployed artist with a single blank canvas. Steven's busy living the introspective, angst-ridden life of your average twenty-something; drinking too much and complaining about his situation while doing little to improve it. A case of mistaken identity pushes Steven into a flow of events that bring him places he'd never imagined and forces him to make a choice between art and mere existence.
