1941. Hitler''s Operation: Silver Fox has failed, but the war on the Eastern Front drags on as the Russian winter starts to bite. British military attache Corporal Charlie Keating observes the war from the Soviet side, making sure crucial supplies get through to aid Stalin''s front in the battle against the Nazis. 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. No matter how hard humanity tries to kill itself, something else does it better. 30 Days of Night/Fell co-creator and Wormwood Gentleman Corpse auteur Ben Templesmith''s first solo 30 Days tale is collected here, presenting a war of a different kind, one that will have repercussions felt all the way to Barrow, Alaska a half-century later. Also featuring additional story pages, character designs, a cover gallery, and an all-new cover from 2007 Scream Award nominee Templesmith.

Seven men and women, who are immune to nanotechnology, fight machine beings which have been created to destroy what is left of humanity.

You''ve had your first Taster of Wormwood, and now its time for a full refill! Ben Templesmith (30 Days of Night, Singularity 7, Fell) creates an all-eerie and humorous series. Things are awakening in the city. Things that have a nasty habit of leaving mutilated bodies in their wake and it all reeks of demons and dark gods up to no good. Owing a favor to his lazy ghost cop buddy Trotsky, Wormwood, the gentleman corpse and his oddball entourage are brought in to investigate the case (or at least hopefully not stuff it up too much.)

See the art, read the story, ride the worm! Ben Templesmith collects all the notable art plus a large amount of unpublished ideas, sketches, and never-before-seen paintings from his cult classic, semi-regular, off-beat serial Wormwood: Gentleman Corpse.

Revisit the vampire tale that kick-started a modern horror comics revival in this third collected deluxe edition. A town plunged into darkness, a group of vampires hungry for blood, and only a husband-and-wife sheriff’s team to stop them. This premise set the stage for an iconic horror franchise that went on to become a feature-length film from Sony Pictures in 2007. Book Three collects Eben and Stella, Red Snow, and Beyond Barrow. In the waning moments of 30 Days of Night: Dark Days, Stella managed to bring her vampire husband Eben back from beyond…only he came back hungry. Now, for the first time, see what happened next in Eben and Stella, which fills in the black gaps between that tale and Return to Barrow. Written by co-creator Steve Niles and Kelly Sue DeConnick with art by Justin Randall. Then, in Red Snow from co-creator Ben Templesmith, it’s 1941. Hitler’s Operation: Silver Fox has failed, but the war on the Eastern Front drags on as the Russian winter starts to bite. British military attaché Corporal Charlie Keating observes the war from the Soviet side, making sure crucial supplies get through to aid Stalin’s front in the battle against the Nazis. With luck, he too will survive to see the end of the war. But something else is out there, and it’s not the Nazis. In the third story, Beyond Barrow from Steve Niles and Bill Sienkiewicz, after years of attacks and several without, the citizens of Barrow have become united against random attacks on their city by the undead. Unfortunately, the same does not apply outside the town throughout the rest of the mysterious Arctic Circle. Forget everything you ever thought you knew about 30 Days of Night and return to Barrow.

The Gentleman Corpse himself introduces two little-known tales from the past, as well as an all-new story in this special one-shot featuring 28 pages of beer-stained art and story from Eisner Award- and Horror Guild-nom''d writer/artist/gadfly Ben Templesmith (Welcome to Hoxford).

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 existenceu0084and 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!

Wormwood is still kicking, Mr. Pendulum is in pieces, the Earthly Dimension has a few bruises and the squidly things are rather annoyed. Not that they''re ever happy, you understand, but this time they''re particularly angry and have a little something up their sleeves. Those celaphods can fight dirty when they want to!

Comics’ most genteel zombie returns with his signature blend of macabre humor, hilarious horror, gore, gags (the funny kind), and gags (the trying-not-to-vomit kind). Wormwood has been gone for some time. Too long, if you were to ask his old friends. So, when a special agent from the U.S. government asked for Wormwood’s help, they were determined to track him down, no matter what dimension he’d buggered off to. Now that he’s back, things are about to get political. He and the gang are off to Washington, where, for once, his heart may be the warmest one around.

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.

Part 4 of 4: With the Earth laid waste by an assault from microscopic nanites, humanity hides in underground cities. But those cities are being destroyed by the ''Gosiodo'' machine beings engineered to convert the remnants of humanity to the will of the nanites. It''s up to seven men and women, seemingly immune to the nanotechnology, to fight back before there''s nothing left to fight for. A stunning new series written and drawn by Ben Templesmith.

After an epic struggle to bring the Leprechaun Queen back to the mansion, an odious bargain must be struck for her services. Will Wormwood agree to her terms? Will he survive her cure? Courtesy of Eisner-nominated artist Ben Templesmith.

Ben Templesmith (30 Days of Night, Fell) continues with his new all-eerie and humorous series. The bodies continue to pile up as Wormwood and his oddball entourage continue their investigation into just what has been gestating inside many of the victims and who''s behind it. Well, at least they would be if you could get them out of the pub for more than five minutes.

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.

Time for Wormwood is running out as the Leprechaunni disease takes hold. On safari on the Leprechaun world, as they hunt for their queen, they discover that by killing one and possessing it''s head they can create a Leprehaunni translatoru0084the first time in history. And, oh, what secrets they then discover. Courtesy of Eisner-nominated artist Ben Templesmith.
