Edited by THOMAS KITNER

Legendary for what he has done on the page and infamous for what he has said off it, Howard Chaykin ranks among the  superstars of modern comics. In The Art of Howard Chaykin, go behind the scenes with the creator whose pioneering works include American Flagg! The Shadow, Batman, New Avengers, Dominic Fortune and Black Kiss and more. Experience the stories of his life as only he can tell them. Filled with no-holds-barred perspective from his longtime friends and colleagues, and featuring an extensive selection of artwork from throughout his career, including many never-before-published pieces from Chaykin’s own archives, The Art of Howard Chaykin takes readers on an in-depth journey from the 1950s to today with one of the medium’s great storytellers.

“Howard is a legend—and his work is legendary. Any chance we have to talk about how much we love him and that so-incredibly-important work of his—to realize how important his work has been to the development of the medium over the last thirty years, and to say, out loud, that THIS GUY, this thorny, hilarious, shark-witted and black-hearted fiend is an honest-to-god-genius that grew the whole goddamn art form because it was too stupid for him should be taken advantage of and celebrated.”
–  Matt Fraction

“Flagg!, in both its style and its concepts, fed the literary genre of cyberpunk that has since watered the entire landscape of popular culture, from comics and computer games to movies to television programs.”
–  Michael Chabon

“When I discovered the work of Howard Chaykin—creator, writer, artist, and designer extraordinaire—his work in American Flagg! Forever changed my view of comics were and, more importantly, could be.”
–  Jim Lee

Mysteriously transported to 19th Century Europe, Vampirella must team with Jonathan Harker and his band of vampire slayers to navigate a familiar, but twisting narrative in order to track down Dracula. But who, or what, is behind this strange temporal loop that’s ensnared them, or the evolving, shifting storyline they appear destined to follow?  From the smoking battlefields and impaled victims of Vlad Dracul’s Wallachia to the unsuspecting underbelly of modern-day New York City, these two vampiric titans cross paths.  Hunting like enemies, warring like lovers scorned, each seeking to break free of the tragic destiny that’s ensnared them both… or die trying!

WE FOUND EACH OTHER, BILLY.
In a world where costumed heroes soar through the sky and masked vigilantes prowl the night, someone’s got to make sure the “supes” don’t get out of line. And someone will. Billy Butcher, Wee Hughie, Mother’s Milk, The Frenchman and The Female are The Boys: a CIA-backed team of very dangerous people, each one dedicated to the struggle against the most lethal force on Earth- superpower. Some superheroes have to be watched. Some have to be controlled. And some of them- sometimes- need to be taken out of the picture.

That’s when you call in The Boys.

He could have been a very different man. Billy Butcher, leader of The Boys, once had a chance at another life entirely- when the love of a good woman pulled him aside from his dreadful path of violence and despair. This is the story of Billy and Becky, told by the man himself: from the backstreets of London’s East End to the carnage of the Falklands War, from the heights of love to the depths of tragedy. And when he’s done, he’ll be ready… to finish things once and for all.

This volume collects issues 1-6 of the hit mini-series, The Boys: Butcher, Baker, Candlestickmaker by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, and features all of the covers by Darick Robertson.

Spinning out of Alan Moore’s retelling of the ageless horror classic, Dracula has come to America to play out his timeless narrative in this brave, New World.  Only he didn’t realize ANOTHER vampire already beat him to it.  Drawn to one another across continents and centuries by a mysterious force, both Vampirella and Bram Stoker’s immortal monster find themselves sucked into a time-tossed epic of love, hate, death and damnation.  But can an epic built for one vampire possibly hold them both?

Also features a reprint of the modern classic, New European by ALAN MOORE and GARY FRANK!
