New Releases by Ben Templesmith

L'inspecteur Richard Fell est transféré de l'autre côté du pont qui sépare la capitale de Snowtown, une zone de non-droit où les officiers de police intègres se comptent sur les doigts d'une main. Parachuté dans cette inquiétante jungle urbaine où rien ne semble avoir de sens, Fell se raccroche à cette seule certitude : tout le monde ici a quelque chose à cacher. À commencer par lui-même.

All is not well in the far north. As the Arctic slowly melts, automation increases, and labor costs go through the roof, CEO Claus is under increasing pressure to answer to his stockholders and his lenders. Rebellion is in the air and only Wormwood can potentially come in to helpÑand hopefully not bugger it up too much.

Wormwood’s Washington excursion ends in ways that you will never expect and that about half of you will wish was a non-fiction tale…

Wormwood is back on planet Earth. A special agent from the U.S. government has requested his help, so he’s off to Washington to discover just what’s going on—and he’s bringing his old friends along for the ride…

Wormwood has been gone for some time. Too long, if you ask his old friends. They're determined to track him down, no matter what dimension he's buggered off to. You see, a special agent from the U.S. government has asked for Wormwood's help, and things are about to get political...

Just when Wormwood thought he could finally have that quiet drink without worrying about the world coming to an end, or a friend with a parasitic infection trying to kill him, The Brotherhood of the Calamari decide to crash the party. Since their last meeting, they've tracked him across the thousand million dimensional possibilities of existence„and this time the entire Squideeverse is with them! Wormwood is going to learn the hard way he can't keep running from his problems as his oldest foe now threatens his favorite watering hole, Earth, with absorption into the Calamari group mind!

Ben Templesmith returns with his first solo project since Singularity 7. Meet Wormwood, the English-accented, beer-drinking, sentient corpse possessing a maggot expat from the Hell dimension. Well, one of them. If he's not attempting to save Earth from demonic, parasitic fungal infections or undead strippers, then he's off drinking with his homemade mechanical sidekick, Mr. Pendulum.

Ben Templesmith's Wormwood moves beyond the simply bizarre and into the sublime lunacy that is Lephrechaunia as Wormwood and his posse search for the Leprechaun Queen, the only being capable of lifting the terminal curse that our hero has contracted. But if rabid leprechauns and inter-dimensional travel isn't enough to get your head spinning, enter the Squidmen, a terrifying collective of "gatherers," hell bent on ingesting everything they can get their tentacles on!

Wormwood is an intergalactic, inter-dimensional, immortal, happy-go-lucky larval worm-thing with a liking for fine stout, strippers, and most of the other vices planet Earth has on offer. Oh yeah, and he wears corpses like suits. Follow along as Wormwood, his robotic drinking companion Mr. Pendulum, and his new hire Phoebe take on demonic beings nesting in humans, nasty leprechauns, and face the revenge of the Brotherhood of the Calamari. Collects issues #0–8, the One-Shot, Calamari Rising #1–4, and Last Call.

The first 11 volumes of 30 Days of Night are contained in this huge compendium. Follow along from the beginning as co-creators Steve Niles and Ben Templesmith are joined by some of comic's best talent including Matt Fraction, Bill Sienkiewicz, David Lapham, and Sam Kieth.

Can a discarded relic with a death wish and a rebellious Squid priestess overthrow humanity’s tentacled alien overlords?

Wormwood est à l’image de son créateur. Loufoque, irrespectueuse envers les mollusques marins et ne prenant au sérieux aucune menace extra-terrestre... L’histoire surprenante et tordante d’un asticot pensant qui enquête. Wormwood est un asticot échappé d'une dimension infernale qui boit de la bière, fume et accessoirement habite des cadavres. Entouré d'une équipe éclectique de personnages – le très renfermé Monsieur Pende et une immortelle appelée Medusa –, il passe son temps à sauver le monde d'invasions démoniaques et autres parasites ayant pris possession de strip-teaseuses zombies. « La BD déjanté du mois par l’Australien qui s’est déjà occupé des vampires avec le fameux 30 jours de nuit. » Casemate « Jouant avec des matières organiques et des couleurs intenses, le dessin [de Templesmith] n’a jamais été aussi expressif. Il s’impose de plus comme un scénariste talentueux, à l’humour efficace et aux dialogues tordants. » Bodoï « La série d’horreur a plus hallucinante de cette rentrée. Du très, très grand Templesmith ! » L’Avis des Bulles

In a sleepy, secluded Alaska town called Barrow, the sun sets and doesn't rise for over 30 consecutive days and nights. From the darkness, across the frozen wasteland, an evil will come that will bring the residents of Barrow to their knees.

1941. Hitler's Operation: Silver Fox has failed, but the war on the Eastern Front drags on as the Russian winter starts to bite.

With luck, he too will survive to see the end of the war. But something else is out there, and they're not the Nazis.

Wormwood est un asticot pensant, échappé d'une dimension infernale, qui parle anglais (avec un fort accent), boit de la bière (en grande quantité), fume (beaucoup) et qui, accessoirement, habite des cadavres. Aidé de Monsieur Pendulum et de la strip-teaseuse Medusa, il passe son temps à sauver le monde d'invasions démoniaques et de préférence tentaculaires. Frère dégénéré d'Hellboy et du Goon, publiés chez le même éditeur, Wormwood offre l'occasion à son créateur, Ben Templesmith, de donner libre cours à son humour débridé. L'auteur de 30 Jours de nuit et de Fell se révèle parfaitement à l'aise dans le double-rôle de scénariste et dessinateur de cette série iconoclaste et déjantée.

Just when Wormwood thought he could finally have that quiet drink without worrying about the world coming to an end, or a friend with a parasitic infection trying to kill him, The Brotherhood of the Calamari decide to crash the party. Since their last meeting, they've tracked him across the thousand million dimensional possibilities of existence — and this time the entire Squideeverse is with them! Wormwood is going to learn the hard way he can't keep running from his problems as his oldest foe now threatens his favorite watering hole, Earth, with absorption into the Calamari group mind!
