Galen Showman

P. Craig Russell, one of the most celebrated stylists in comics today, teams with rising star Galen Showman (Caliber's Renfield) to adapt one of theatre's greatest tales of betrayal, adultery, and murder. Taken from the Italian opera I Pagliacci, this special one-shot tells the story of a group of traveling performers driven against each other by conflicting desires, leading to a startling and bloody conclusion.

Dark Horse continues its run of some of the wildest and most harrowing Hellboy stories ever told in this all-star tribute to comics' greatest demonic hero. Alex Maleev and Matt Hollingsworth (from Marvel Knight's monthly Daredevil) tell the scariest devil-child story since Rosemary's Baby. Sara Ryan and Steve Lieber (Oni's Whiteout, Batman) follow suit with a terrific tale of a family with the worst kind of unwanted guest. Featuring a pin-up from William Stout, the most star-studded series in comics spins out the most bizarre stories yet.
