Fred the Clown is fit as a fiddle and looking for love in this ode to silent cinema by an acclaimed cartoonist. This nearly wordless romp from master cartoonist Roger Langridge is the author’s paean to the silent, slapstick comedies of the 1910s and ’20s, spun for a contemporary audience, starring his most popular character. It finds our hero Fred pitching the woo to a lovely equestrian. But with matrimony-minded fathers, boorish beaux, and malicious mad scientists interfering at every opportunity, what’s a clown―and his faithful pig companion―to do? Langridge’s velvety grays evoke the silent films of his patron saint, Buster Keaton (and, in this volume particularly, the latter’s masterpiece, The General). His craft is at a zenith, and captures every screwball twist and turn of the heiress’s and our hero’s romantic roundabout.

When a giant lion statue in Trafalgar Square comes to life and wreaks havoc on 1930s London, it seems like the perfect case for the world’s most famous detective, Sherlock Holmes. With an overwhelmed caseload, however, Holmes recruits the help of three precocious young detectives-in-training (and one cunning golden retriever) to solve the mystery. Molly, Rajani, Humphrey, and Wellington (the dog) will have to work together and use all their wits if they are to uncover the truth behind the living statues and save London. But on the legendary Baker Street, nothing is as it seems and their biggest mystery might be the real identity of the famous detective who brought them together. Written by Eisner Award winner Roger Langridge (Thor: The Mighty Avenger, Abigail and the Snowman) and illustrated by Andy Hirsch (Adventure Time, Regular Show), The Baker Street Peculiars is a heartfelt and supernatural twist on the beloved world of Sherlock Holmes. Collects the complete limited series. “...a great way to make Sherlock Holmes approachable to younger readers...” - Nerdophiles

In the late 1980s, long before his work on the Eisner and Harvey-nominated Fred the Clown, Roger Langridge worked with his brother Andrew on a comic called Art d''Ecco. In these early stories, done mainly (but seldom entirely) for laughs, one can see the beginnings of the formal playfulness that would characterize the later work of both Langridge brothers, and of the elaborate layering of subtle and not-so-subtle nods and references to the world of music, film and literature. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.9px Arial; color: #424242}

Strange robots have flooded the streets of St. Canard, and only THE JUSTICE DUCKS can save the day! But even the combined might of STEGMUTT, GIZMODUCK, NEPTUNIA, MORGANA, and (of course) DARKWING DUCK may not be enough to stop the robots’ master: THE BOTHERER, who wants to transform innocent people into horrible stone creatures that will enable him to take over the city — and eventually the world! Delineated by Eisner and Harvey Award-winning author ROGER LANGRIDGE and definitive Darkwing Duck artist CARLO LAURO, Justice Ducks #2 also features arresting cover art from MIRKA ANDOLFO, ROGER LANGRIDGE, FRANCESCO TOMASELLI, and TRISH FORSTNER!

Wait… is Darkwing actually huge, or have the JUSTICE DUCKS just become tiny? What’s going on here?!? Why, it’s more madcap alien-based tomfoolery, presented by the inimitable team of writer ROGER LANGRIDGE and artist CARLO LAURO (Darkwing Duck) — ably assisted by cover artists MIRKA ANDOLFO, ROGER LANGRIDGE, FRANCESCO TOMASELLI, and TRISH FORSTNER!

IT WAS A DARK AND FROGGY EVENING! It’s time to cue the music; it’s time to dim the lights! It’s time to get things started as the Muppets return tonight! The show is about to begin at the famous Muppet Theatre, and the regular pre-curtain chaos has the troupe’s stalwart MC, Kermit the Frog, coming apart at the seams. In an attempt to de-stress, he settles down to read a few pages of a favorite old detective novel — only to get kayoed by an errant brick to the bean, leaving him laid out backstage as his co-stars try to coax him back to consciousness. But unbeknownst to them, Kermit has taken up the hard-boiled mantle of his fictional hero to walk the darkened streets of Dreamland, righting wrongs and cracking cases under the concealing cover of night. Flip Minnow, P.I., has no time for song and dance — not if he’s going to solve the baffling mystery of the Snoozing Sleuth! Legendary cartooning talent and Muppets comics veteran ROGER LANGRIDGE bellies up to the drawing table once more for an all-new tale of crime and pun-ishment with The Muppets Noir #1 — featuring clue-filled cover art from both the author and guest artist DECLAN SHALVEY, as well as an appropriately enigmatic DELUXE MYSTERY BLIND BAG! The Blind Bag contains two limited editions of the issue selected randomly from a range of variant covers exclusive to this offering — including a new original cover, colored blanks, and more! Please Note: The number of Blind Bags is limited, and allocations may occur.

HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT! While Kermit the Frog continues his concussed convalescence on The Muppet Theatre’s green room couch, his alter ego Flip Minnow, P.I., is about to catch a break in his missing persons case beyond the wall of sleep. A mysterious package delivered to his office turns out to be his quarry’s diary, which gives the amphibious investigator a new set of leads to run down — including a revelatory encounter inside a skee-ball speakeasy! Veteran comics puppeteer ROGER LANGRIDGE leads readers deeper into The Muppets’ collective unconscious in The Muppets Noir #3 — featuring intriguingly analytical covers from both the author and guest artists JAE LEE & JUNE CHUNG!

IT’S TIME TO MEET THE SUSPECTS! After succumbing to the consciousness-clobbering effects of a brick to the noggin, Kermit the Frog finds himself walking a new beat in Dreamland as private investigator Flip Minnow. His first assignment? Tracking down Meringue Crustworth, the missing daughter of pie magnate Dolores Crustworth. Seems like a straightforward enough case, but there’s something about the situation that isn’t sitting well with Flip — something that goes far beyond his inexplicably deep-seated aversion to pies. Joining forces with the friendly beat cop Officer O’Bear, the green P.I. starts running down leads, which eventually steer the pair into an oddly unappetizing pie shop that leaves Flip’s phobias untriggered. But what the flatfoot and the gumshoe discover inside turns out to be even stranger than a narcoleptic frog in a trench coat! Master storyteller ROGER LANGRIDGE continues his heart-felt return to the Muppet realm with The Muppets Noir #2 — featuring sharply shadowed covers from both the author and guest artists JAE LEE & JUNE CHUNG!
