Wars in Toyland HC
$19.99 – Joe Harris (The X-Files) and Adam Pollina’s (B.P.R.D., X-Force) hardcover graphic novel premieres at Comic-Con! Toyland was once a place of wonder and beauty, at least until the teddy dictator Roxbury took over. After Matthew’s brother and playmate, Alex, disappears, Matthew finds himself carried into Toyland by his own loyal toy soldiers. Matthew soon learns that Alex has been here, too — and is now being held captive by Roxbury. Leading an attack on the teddy bear’s fortress, Matthew never considers that his brother might be beyond saving.
Capote in Kansas – Special Edition Hardcover
$19.99 – Ande Parks and superstar artist Chris Samnee’s (Daredevil, The Rocketeer: Cargo of Doom) critically acclaimed book makes its hardcover edition debut!
Murder. Not intricately plotted “whodunit.” Not fiery passionate fury. But dirty, sad, disturbing actions from real people. That’s what Truman Capote decided to use for In Cold Blood—his bold experiment in the realm of the non-fiction “novel.” Following in that legacy is Capote in Kansas, a fictionalized tale of Capote’s time in Middle America researching his classic book. Capote’s struggles with the town, the betrayal, and his own troubled past make this book a compelling portrait of one of the greatest literary talents of the 20th century.
Courtney Crumrin Barrettes
$8 – Emulate the sleek style of Ted Naifeh’s Courtney Crumrin with these spooky signature barrettes! We can’t guarantee they’ll let you commune with otherworldly beings, but they couldn’t hurt your chances, either!
