The first issue of the new Solomon Kane mini-series, Death's
Black Riders comes out this month and I got to have the fun of designing

in Solomon Kane: The Castle of the Devil -- but written
to stand on its own -- this new series delves deep into the horrors
scattered throughout Germany's Black Forest. Dark Horse's new Solomon
Kane series features the return of writer Scott Allie and artist Mario
Guevara (The Lone Ranger and Tonto).
Solomon Kane #1 (of 4) — written by Scott Allie. Artwork by Mario Guevara, colors by Juan Ferreyra, cover artwork by Darick Robertson. January 20, 2010 (Full Color, 32 pages, $3.50) |

![]() THE MARQUIS: INFERNO ON SALE NOW! The collected Danse Macabre and Intermezzo from Dark Horse! Hell breaks loose a month early! Originally slated to come out Sept. 9th, the new collected Marquis: Inferno shipped early and is now on sale! In eighteenth-century Venisalle, faith governs life and death, and the guilty hide their shame behind masks, showing their faces only in the secret rites of the confessional. It is to this stronghold of the Inquisition that the souls of Hell have escaped to possess the living, spreading sin, murder, and chaos. Amid the carnage, one man is blessed with the clarity to recognize the demons that prey on his countrymen — and the means to return them to the fires of Hell. But as the stakes rise, the lines separating good and evil begin to blur, and the Marquis — the dark avenger whom even demons fear to cross — finds himself torn between the blind faith that has defined his life and the bitter truths exposed under his new sight. • Reprints the original Danse
Macabre storyline along with Hell's Courtesan and Sin

priest died in chains centuries ago.

DRAW!
Magazine #17—Free Eats! The new issue of DRAW! Magazine #17 from Twomorrows Publishing hit the stands last month and contained an interview with me talking with Mike Manley about how I work on B.P.R.D. and other things. Unfortunately, instead of the finished interview that I went over adding and clarifying to — the unedited phone transcript got printed in the magazine with all the mistakes and misquotes. (no, I don’t have a couple books coming out from Dark Horse called “The Marquis” and “The Five” — it was “The Marquis and the Midwife”). Apologies to everyone who bought or downloaded the original interview — but online now at the Draw! Magazine blog, Mike Manley has posted the correct interview for everyone to read for free. Thanks Mike! |
