"Dream makers features the pictures of six working fantasy artists who are famous in their fields. Though their styles and subject matter differ greatly, their ideas and images go beyond realism into the landscapes of dreams, nightmares and imagined futures."--BOOK JACKET.

One modern horror mainstay combines with one legendary master in this showcase of Bernie Wrightson's beautiful black and white art.

Now, all of the Swamp Thing’s early adventures are collected for the first time in SWAMP THING: THE BRONZE AGE OMNIBUS. This hardcover edition features work from comics legends Len Wein, Bernie Wrightson, Nestor Redondo, Martin Pasko, Tom Yeates, Stephen Bissette, John Totleben and more! Deep in the bayous of Louisiana, far from civilization’s grasp, a shadowed creature seen only in fleeting glimpses roils the black waters…a twisted, vegetative mockery of a man…a SWAMP THING! One of the most acclaimed creations to emerge from the Bronze Age of Comics, this shambling, muck-encrusted figure swiftly became one of DC’s iconic characters, and his shocking stories are universally hailed as some of the finest tales of gothic horror in the history of American comics. Collects THE HOUSE OF SECRETS #92, SWAMP THING #1-24, THE SAGA OF THE SWAMP THING #1-19 and THE SAGA OF THE SWAMP THING ANNUAL #1.

The monster lives! A stunning collaboration between the premier horror artist in comics history and the co-creator of modern classic 30 Days of Night! Inspired by Mary Shelley's immortal gothic horror tale, Frankenstein Alive, Alive brings new life to the Promethean monster, courtesy of Steve Niles (30 Days of Night) and Bernie Wrightson (Frankenstein, Swamp Thing). Victor Frankenstein's cobbled together creature continues his adventures, embarking on a journey to discover his own humanity. Collecting the four-issue series along with an extended gallery section of never-before-seen layouts and pencils by Wrightson, all scanned from the original art. Additional art is supplied in the final chapter by Kelley Jones (at Wrightson's request), who stepped in to complete the series upon the comic book legend's untimely passing.

Na začiatku dochádza k zlyhaniu ľudského faktora, na konci zem posievajú mŕtvoly. Nedostatky v zabezpečení laboratória na vývoj biologických zbraní a príliš starostlivý otec mladej rodiny spôsobia únik smrtiaceho vírusu superchrípky. Nezastaviteľná choroba v priebehu niekoľkých týždňov vyhladí viac ako deväťdesiatdeväť percent svetovej populácie, zvyšky sa brodia v troskách civilizácie. Tí, čo prežili, sa vydajú na cestu – tajuplné sny ich ako magnet priťahujú do Las Vegas, kde sa usídlil muž s mnohými menami a podobami, alebo k domčeku uprostred kukuričných polí. Ten obýva staručká Matka Abagail, ktorej Boh dožičil dlhý život, aby mu pomohla naplniť Plán. Svet sa ešte len spamätáva z katastrofy a na šachovnici dobra a zla sa už rozohráva partia, v ktorej sa komunita na strane svetla musí postaviť na odpor temnote. Zvíťazí temný muž, ktorý ovláda mágiu, alebo starena, ktorá si aj v úctyhodnom veku stoosem rokov sama pečie koláče? V románe Odpor Stephen King na veľkej ploche majstrovsky vykresľuje uveriteľný postapokalyptický svet, ale aj oveľa desivejšie zákutia ľudskej duše.

Die ultimative Ausgabe des Meisters aus den USA! Mit Bernie Wrightson beehrt nun, nach Richard Corben, eine weitere Ikone des US-amerikanischen Horrorcomics erstmals unser Programm! Der Schöpfer des Swamp Thing, Preisträger u. a. des Eisner- und Harvey-Awards und unangefochtene Meister expressiver Schattentechnik und schwarzweißer Schraffurgrafik arbeitete in den 70er Jahren für die legendären Horrormagazine 'Creepy' und 'Eerie' des Warren Verlags. Wie zuvor schon die Gesamtausgabe Richard Corbens vereint auch diese Anthologie sämtliche in dieser Zeit entstandenen Kurzgeschichten Wrightsons, inklusive sämtlicher Coverillustrationen.

Matthew Sturges, writer of the Eisner-nominated Jack of Fables, and co-writer Bill Willingham, the creator of Fables, proudly unlock the doors to the House of Mystery, a new graphic novel series that reinvents the classic DC Comics concept. It focuses on five characters trapped in a supernatural bar, trying to solve the mystery of how and why they're imprisoned there. Each one has a terrible past they'd like to forget, and with no books, newspapers or TV allowed in the House, they face an eternity of boredom. But stories become the new currency, and fortunately, the House attracts only the finest storytellers.Collecting: House of Mystery 6-10

Deacon Joseph Blackfire leads The Cult, a sinister organization in Gotham City that targets the homeless. A psychological mastermind, he aims to convert Batman to his cause and will go to any lengths to achieve this goal.

The first scream came from the snowbound railwayman who felt the werewolf’s fangs ripping at his throat. The next month there was a scream of ecstatic agony from the woman attacked in her cozy bedroom. Now scenes of unbelievable horror unfold each time the full moon shines on the isolated Maine town of Tarker’s Mills. No one knows who will be attacked next. But one thing is sure. When the full moon rises, a paralyzing fear sweeps through Tarker's Mills. For snarls that sound like human words can be heard whining through the wind. And all around are the footprints of a monster whose hunger cannot be sated...

Die Anfänge von Swamp Thing erzählen die Geschichte des Wissenschaftlers Alec Holland, der durch einen Terroranschlag zum Monster wird. Auf der Suche nach Rache kämpft er gegen Missverständnisse und andere Kreaturen, während er die Welt durchstreift. Dieser Band versammelt die frühen Abenteuer des Horror-Comics aus den 70ern und 80ern.

Dieser Band bündelt vier Graphic Novels mit Spider-Man, die Marvels Netzschwinger teils ausgesprochen weit aus seiner Komfortzone führen. Die Geschichten von u.a. Marvel-Legende Stan Lee haben hierbei eine enorme inhaltliche sowie grafische Bandbreite. In den Comics geht es um die große Liebesgeschichte zwischen Peter Parker und Mary Jane Watson, eine Gefahr aus dem Zweiten Weltkrieg und eine Reise nach Deutschland. Doch Pete und MJ machen auch Flitterwochen in Schottland, und Spidey muss sich in einer fremden Welt Magie und Monstern stellen.
