Bedford Street
Author: Ross Murray
Publisher: Fantagraphics
ISBN: 979-8875002625
Publication Date: 3rd November 2026
An alcoholic beneficiary is tasked with looking after his teenage son for a weekend. A nurse is faced with a violent altercation after her late-night shift. A single mother struggles with the sudden onset of crippling back pain while trying to keep her drug-addicted former partner at bay. A homeless man tries to readjust to life on the outside after a period of incarceration. A young father succumbs to boredom and lust.
These are some of the lives of the inhabitants of Bedford Street, an all-too-familiar place where those at the less fortunate end of the ever-widening spectrum of inequality reside. People leading modest lives in challenging circumstances where disenfranchisement is high and a sense of community is low. All packed together and teeming with a chaotic energy, some submitting to their worst impulses, others trying their best despite it all.
Bedford Street forms a mosaic image of lives lived in the maelstrom of a cost-of-living crisis, increasing rates of unemployment, and an age of individualism where isolation and alienation is rife. Murray’s skilful storytelling and combination of pathos and dark humour explores how we navigate life and care for one another in a disconnected society.

The Best of Marvel’s Vampire Tales Volume One is the first in a series of Dark Horse collaborations with Marvel Comics to excavate the dark and hidden corners of the Marvel Universe and re-present them in beautiful archival hardcover editions.
Starting in 1973, Marvel Comics embarked on a series of black-and-white horror anthologies in magazine format. These magazines helped ignite a new horror-comics boom while allowing Marvel to expand the boundaries of the stories they told.
One of those series, Vampire Tales, included stories of bloodsucking fiends as both heroes, villains, and anti-heroes, involving fan-favourites like the reluctant monster Morbius, the Living Vampire; the first solo tales featuring Blade the Vampire Slayer; and Dracula’s daughter, the ever-lethal Lilith. Vampire Tales magazine also introduced the comic-book world to Satana, the Devil’s Daughter, and her introductory stories are also in this first volume.
The Best of Marvel’s Vampire Tales Volume One contains nearly 300 pages of terrifying tales from the first six issues of the magazine, including stories by comic-book talent such as Alfredo Alcala, Rich Buckler, Ernie Chan, Chris Claremont, Gerry Conway, Bill Everett, Gardner Fox, Steve Gerber, Carmine Infantino, Tony Isabella, Gil Kane, Stan Lee, Don McGregor, Pablo Marcos, Esteban Maroto, Doug Moench, Tom Palmer, John Romita, Jim Steranko, Tom Sutton, Roy Thomas, Marv Wolfman, and more!
This oversize collection also features full-colour reproductions of Vampire Tales covers painted by the likes of Bob Larkin, Esteban Maroto, and Boris Vallejo, along with a new introduction and discussion of the Marvel horror mags’ lasting influence from writer/editor/historian Chris Ryall, as well as a number of Marvel’s most horrific monster-comic covers.

Release Date: 3rd November 2026
In 2132, life on Earth has reached the limits of sustainability.
Colonizing Mars has become our only option, and the construction of such a significant enterprise has required massive resources and manpower. The most cost-efficient solution to this requirement is conscripted labor provided by convicted felons—early access to humanity’s future homeworld, but in exchange for the back-breaking and perilous work of constructing the damn thing.
Officer Jasmine Stenford is sent to Mars and sentenced to conscripted labor for a wrongful death committed on her watch. With little defense against the corruption on Earth, she has no idea what sort of nightmare awaits her on the Red Planet…
Brilliantly visualized by artist Grun, this explosive sci-fi prison drama by writer Sylvain Runberg introduces Jasmine to a broad spectrum of characters, factions, and political players who all have different ideas for this New World that is being built. Who is really in control? And can anyone truly claim a planet on the verge of forced evolution?
On Mars imagines a future where the true natures of mankind prove to be inescapable, no matter how far you travel.

What if life in a super-villain organisation was less like a James Bond movie and more like working at Walmart Corporate? Imagine The Office but with more explosive, action-packed adventure, sex, food and general stupidity crossed with superheroes.
Welcome to the world of Rafael Garcia, a low-level henchman for hire. It’s a dead-end job but someone’s got to do it.
With office politics, team building workshops, drug testing, helping to increase his villainous boss’ social media standing – and all the soul-sucking problems of working in middle management. Can Rafael cut through the BS, prove himself, and succeed? Can he handle the dark secret at the heart of Maverick, Inc.?
Rafael Garcia: Henchman is a high-octane action comedy that brings all the old familiar tropes of a dark workplace comedy by way of a brand-new cinematic superhero universe. From Emmy Award-winning writer Peter Murrieta (Wizards of Waverly Place / Mr. Iglesias) and Writer/Filmmaker David Schrader (Baby Badass), comes an action comedy that mixes the daily grind of The Office with the slacker absurdity of Stripes – if the General in charge was more like Lex Luthor.
The series is brought to you by lifelong readers of comics with a deep love for the world of superheroes. A love that planted the seed for questions like “Who provides the janitorial services at JLA Headquarters? And do they have a benefits package?” And when is it not appropriate to bitch about your work colleagues, while you’re taking part in a billion-dollar heist.

From award-winning graphic novelist and former DreamWorks Animation artist Jason Brubaker – known for his work on Kung Fu Panda 2, Kung Fu Panda 3, The Croods, and Captain Underpants – comes reMIND: The Complete Edition.
This beautifully produced deluxe graphic novel collects the beloved all-ages sci-f webcomic adventure into one stunning oversized volume, featuring brand-new cover art and exclusive bonus material.
Sonja is a lighthouse keeper, a gifted mechanic, and an inventor. She lives a quiet life on a remote island with her cat, Victuals. When Victuals vanishes without explanation and then unexpectedly returns, something has changed. The cat now carries the brain of a strange, intelligent lizard-creature from a hidden underwater kingdom.
What follows is a mystery that spirals from the intimate – a girl trying to understand what happened to her companion – into something far larger: a conflict involving brain transplantation experiments, an ancient civilization of lizard-men living beneath the sea, and the dangerous ambitions of those who wield unchecked power. Sonja must navigate a world she didn’t know existed, protect the people she loves, and confront questions about faith, loyalty, and what it means to truly know someone.
reMIND was created by Jason Brubaker during his time as a Visual Development Artist at DreamWorks Animation, where he worked on films such as Kung Fu Panda 2, Kung Fu Panda 3, The Croods, and Captain Underpants.
The graphic novel originally launched as a webcomic in 2009, quickly drawing an audience of over a million readers thanks to its richly detailed, animation-quality artwork and emotionally engaging storytelling. reMIND: The Complete Edition brings the full story together in a single volume for the first time, presented as an oversized deluxe hardcover. This edition also features exclusive behind-the-scenes material, showcasing Brubaker’s creative process—from early thumbnails and layouts to pencils, inks, and final color work.

The Magnificent African Adventure
Author: Milo Manara & Kim Thompson
Publisher: Fantagraphics
ISBN: 9798875001604
Publication Date: 5th November 2026
Is life a stage, and do we just follow a script? Can we rewrite our roles, or must we play along according to the instructions of others? The two stories in this volume, ‘An Author in Search of Six Characters’ and ‘Days of Wrath’, take place in Africa, which author/artist Milo Manara views as the bearer of insight and hope for the rest of the world.
Turning Pirandello’s ‘Six Characters in Search of an Author’ on its head, Manara sets our favourite inept, globe-trotting hero-naif, Giuseppe Bergman (Manara’s comics alter ego), off on another quest for adventure. An off-panel director hands out scripts and then disappears. (Are we watching a play, or are we in it?)
Dedicated to playing his role, Giuseppe is confused when others assert themselves and send the entire scenario spinning out of control. His sexy co-star, Lulu, cast as a bimbo, rewrites herself as the hero, leading us to ponder deeper matters, such as whether we possess true free will or we just think we do. (But watch out! Just when you think the answer is in sight, Manara flips the script once again.)
Giuseppe Bergman’s second African adventure begins with Chloe, a winsome nymphet who asks many questions – about the facts of life (and the fictions, too). Is she really that innocent? Or is she just drawn that way? Manara allows his characters to break the ‘fourth wall’ as Chloe beckons us into an erotic, exotic Fellini-esque romp revolving around young Giuseppe’s determination to return a kidnapped child to her tribe. His real motive? To break free and become the hero of his own story, rather than remain the hapless plaything of an omniscient narrator.
Part tongue in cheek, part philosophical exploration, Manara lets Chloe wink in and out like a mischievous Tinker Bell, pushing events forward only to then pull them back – as Giuseppe Bergman struggles to make sense of it all and become the hero he needs to be. Artist/writer/creator Milo Manara skewers adventure comics and narrative convention itself in this absurdist, sophisticated satire. The Magnificent African Adventure, two complete stories in one volume.

Shock Treatment And Other Stories
By Jack Kamen, Reed Crandall, George Evans et al
Publisher: Fantagraphics
ISBN: 9798875002342
When the Comics Code forced EC Comics to abandon its popular horror and crime titles, EC launched a ‘New Direction’ in hopes of attracting new readers. Among the new titles were two medical dramas, M.D. and Psychoanalysis, which were competing in a rapidly changing media landscape, increasingly dominated by television. It would be more than five years before TV caught up with EC with shows such as Dr. Kildare, Ben Casey, and The Eleventh Hour – precursors to the medical shows we know today.
Artists Jack Kamen, Reed Crandall, George Evans, Graham Ingels, and Joe Orlando paired with writers Robert Bernstein, Jack Oleck, Carl Wessler, and Daniel Keyes to produce a series of taut tales of physical and psychological crises and the doctors who must make split-second life-or-death decisions.
All the stories from M.D. and Psychoanalysis are collected in this volume, including: “The Fight for Life” (Ingels) – mankind’s fight against disease before modern medicine; “Shock Treatment” (Evans) – a young boy’s attempt at suicide; “The Lesson” (Crandall) – the race to save the life of a teenage girl mutilated in a high-speed crash; and “When You Know How” (Orlando) – during a blizzard, a doctor has to perform emergency surgery on a critically injured boy in his family’s kitchen using only the utensils at hand.
Plus: all twelve stories from Psychoanalysis, each masterfully drawn by Jack Kamen and most written by Daniel Keyes about the struggles of three patients to reconcile their inner fears and turmoil with their outward lives.
With an introduction by Dr. Travis Langley, author of the heroes-and-villains Psychology book series.

This leads Black Jack to occasional run-ins with the authorities, as well as from gangsters and criminals who approach him for illegal operations.
Black Jack charges exorbitant fees for his services, the proceeds from which he uses to fund environmental projects and to aid victims of crime and corrupt capitalists.

Publication Date: 3rd November 2026
The horror was born before dawn on February 2, 1913 – the feast of Candlemas, although the people of Dunwich call that ancient festival by a different name. Of unknown father, Wilbur Whateley was not christened – yet he descended still from a one-proud Puritan family that left Salem in 1692 to found Dunwich, Massachusetts. And the descent of the Whateleys and their old town has been deep indeed – its now crumbling houses overlooked by bare hills topped by stone circles, where unhallowed rituals were held before the first settlers ever came.
Yet it was none other than ten-year-old Wilbur Whateley that led Dr. Henry Armitage, head librarian at Miskatonic University, to drive the dusty, rutted roads out to Dunwich, and meet the child prodigy who had been corresponding with him on the most abstruse and disturbing lore. Dr. Armitage could hardly believe the sight of the priceless hoard of occult books rotting away in the Whateley farmhouse – nor that of the dark, goatish Wilbur, for whom those books had been his only education.
But young Wilbur Whateley is not content with his homeschooling – to complete his studies, he needs something Miskatonic possesses, the Latin edition of the Necronomicon. And if they’re too snooty to lend their precious copy out to a country boy like him, Wilbur has other means to try to get it. The lad is no mere academic dilletante; he studies these things for a reason. Wilbur Whateley was born into this world with a great and horrific purpose – to open a doorway for those not of this world to return to Earth!
