New Releases by Ben Templesmith

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.

Music and comics collide for a one of a kind audio-visual feast in this anthology based on the music of metal band A Sound of Thunder. Science fiction, fantasy, history, horror, and the occult await you inside in tales by comics legends and up and coming talent.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

Johnny "Choker" Jackson a vraiment une vie de merde. Et c''est comme ça depuis trois ans, maintenant. Ex-flic de choc cynique, désabusé et misanthrope, il bosse en tant que détective privé de seconde zone, tout en tentant de rembourser une dette de jeu. Sans compter qu''il souffre du syndrome de "la main étrangère", et que les effets ont tendance à empirer ces derniers temps... Au milieu de cet enfer, une minuscule lueur d''espoir renaît. Un criminel, qu''il avait arrêté, s''est fait la belle. Le chef de la police de Shotgun City lui propose alors un deal : si Choker retrouve ce dingue en cavale, il récupère son badge. Mais tout a un prix. Si vous désirez vraiment quelque chose, jusqu''où seriez-vous prêts à aller ? Choker est l''enfant (peu) naturel qu''auraient pu engendrer les ambiances mêlées d''un James Ellroy et d''un David Lynch. En l''occurrence, Ben McCool (Memoir) s''associe à Ben Templesmith (30 Jours de nuit, Fell, Wormwood) pour nous concocter ce polar déjanté et glauque, où la dépravation le dispute à l''humour noir. Très noir...

"30 days of night created by Steve Niles and Ben Templesmith."

1941, l''opération menée par Hitler sur le front de l''Est a échoué et prolonge la guerre. Alors que l''hiver fait rage, l''attaché militaire Keating a pour mission d''assurer l''acheminement de l''aide alliée aux troupes de Staline et, éventuellement, de survivre à cette guerre. Mais un danger plus grand que les Nazis se meut dans le blizzard meurtrier... Un éclairage historique sur cette saga incontournable.

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

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.

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.

24seven features a who''s who of today''s best writers and artists from comics, film and animation, telling tales of robots in the city that never sleeps. Following in the tradition of the acclaimed 24seven Volume 1, this second volume''s stories run a cross-genre gamut, from crisis in space to bank robberies to gambling robot dogs. 24seven has romance, action, horror -- everything you want -- told by a cross-section of the most diverse writers and artists in print!

Welcome to one of the more beautifully horrific collections of foolishiness and nonsense you''ll ever see. This special oversized edition collects many of the major images and covers from artist Ben Templesmith, as well as many never-before-seen unpublished paintings and personal work, including looks behind the scenes into the artistic process he uses.

Werewolves stealing. Vampires mugging. Ghouls beaten in their own sewers. A man murdered by monsters - with a letter opener. The connection? Private investigator Cal McDonald is damned (literally) if he knows.

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.)

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).

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! With writing and art courtesy of Spike-TV Scream Award-winner and Eisner-award nominee Ben Templesmith.

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.
