HELLBLAZER:
HAUNTED
TRADE PAPERBACK
When
John Constantine becomes haunted by ghosts from the past, can he find
a way to put them to rest?
 Collecting
the first powerful HELLBLAZER story arc written by Warren Ellis, the acclaimed
co-creator of TRANSMETROPOLITAN, THE AUTHORITY, MEK and GLOBAL FREQUENCY,
HELLBLAZER: HAUNTED is a 144-page VERTIGO trade paperback
that finds John Constantine at home in a changing London, looking to the
past. As usual, it's not a pretty sight…
Featuring
art by John Higgins (WAR STORY: D-DAY DODGERS) and a cover by Tim Bradstreet,
HAUNTED collects HELLBLAZER #134 through #139 and begins with Constantine
reading about the death of an old friend named Isabel Bracknell. Constantine
does some digging to find out what led her to die in a filthy squat in
Brixton, and who did the job. Calling in favors from his loose band of
associates, he begins to piece together his friend's last days. But these
inquiries soon earn Constantine a savage beating from the self-styled
"magician" responsible for Isabel's death.
After
that, well, Constantine figures that he knows just what to do so Isabel
can rest in peace...
HELLBLAZER:
HAUNTED is a 144-page VERTIGO trade paperback, and is suggested for mature
readers. It arrives in comic-book stores January 2 with a cover price

THE
SANDMAN PRESENTS: BAST
Faced with the oblivion that eventually
comes to all gods, Lady Bast — once the object of veneration in ancient
Egypt —attempts to make a comeback. But to what extreme will a fading
cat goddess go to ensure her continued adulation?
 THE
SANDMAN PRESENTS: BAST is a 3-issue VERTIGO miniseries written
by Caitlîn R. Kiernan (THE DREAMING, THE GIRL WHO WOULD BE DEATH)
with art by Joe Bennett (Amazing Spider-Man, Elektra)
and covers by Dave McKean (THE SANDMAN, THE DREAMING) that finds Lady
Bast — the sexy Egyptian cat goddess from THE SANDMAN: SEASON OF MISTS
storyline — dying. Her skin, once taut and sumptuous, is now sagging.
Her powers are dwindling. A goddess is only as strong as her believers,
and the time of the cat goddess has long since faded into the sand. In
her crumbling Egyptian halls, Bast seeks one final believer — a small-town
girl named Lucy — in an attempt to rebuild her following, her physicality
and, ultimately, her powers.
A
plethora of cats, two rebellious teenagers and one small town become caught
in the crossfire in THE SANDMAN PRESENTS: BAST, a haunting portrait of
power, corruption and innocence lost.
This
project is supported with house and trade ads.
THE
SANDMAN PRESENTS: BAST is a 3-issue VERTIGO miniseries edited by Shelly
Bond and is suggested for mature readers. The 32-page issue #1 arrives
in comic-book shops January 2 with a cover price of $2.95 U.S.
WAR
STORY: CONDORS
1938
— before World War II engulfed Europe, all eyes were on the Spanish Civil
War. It was a war of fascism versus socialism, dictator versus king, Germany
versus Europe, and everyone was choosing sides. What happens when a Spaniard,
a German, an Irishman, and an Englishman find themselves trapped in the
same foxhole?
 Their
story is told in WAR STORY: CONDORS, the third installment
in a 4-part series of 64-page VERTIGO one-shots, written by Garth Ennis
(PREACHER, HITMAN, Punisher) with art by Carlos Ezquerra (ADVENTURES
IN THE RIFLE BRIGADE). And just as he did with the first highly acclaimed
series of WAR STORY books, Ennis delivers a combination of grit and personality
that has rocketed him to the top of the comics field.
CONDORS
tells the tale of four very different soldiers who all want the same thing:
to win their war. As battles rage outside of Madrid, the men — each with
his own world view and reasons for fighting — find themselves face-to-face
with the enemy as they all take cover in the same foxhole. With little
water or food and just one pistol among them, they must figure out how
to survive the night…and each other.
This
project is supported with house ads.
WAR
STORY: CONDORS is a 64-page VERTIGO one-shot edited by Will Dennis and
is suggested for mature readers. It arrives in comic-book stores January
8 with a cover price of $4.95 U.S.
THE
WITCHING HOUR
TRADE PAPERBACK
 For
those who walk in the wark, cavort with the wicked or fall prey to desires,
THE WITCHING HOUR is no stranger.
The
atmostpheric miniseries by award-winning writer Jeph Loeb (BATMAN, BATMAN:
DARK VICTORY) with art by Chris Bachalo (STEAMPUNK, DEATH: THE HIGH COST
OF LIVING) and Art Thibert (Ultimate X-Men) is now available
in a softcover edition featuring a section of sketches by Bachalo.
The
setting is Manhattan, where the mysterious Amanda Collins moves through
the troubled lives of ordinary people armed with little more than a blank
white business card and a strange, supernatural presence. She's giving
them the chance to change their lives, but the choice they make will depend
entirely on the forces that already exist in their hearts. Amanda herself
is a mesmerizing presence and, as she works modern magic with the help
of a colorful — if not entirely loyal — coterie of followers, another
side of her begins to emerge: one that is troubled, powerful and possibly
centuries old. At the crossroads of the supernatural and the very real,
THE WITCHING HOUR spins bold, provocative tales of sin, magic and redemption.
This
project is supported with house ads.
THE
WITCHING HOUR is a 160-page VERTIGO trade paperback and is suggested for
mature readers. It arrives in comic-book stores January 29 with a cover
price of $19.95 U.S.
