Dark Horse Comics is thrilled to announce a new creator-owned
series from Francesco Francavilla, the 2012 Eisner Award winner for Best Cover
Artist!
Francavilla’s critically
acclaimed The Black Beetle returns in
December with The Black Beetle #0, which
will collect the three-part story entitled Night
Shift that originally appeared in the pages of the Eisner Award–winning Dark Horse Presents. The issue will
feature a brand-new cover, twenty-four story pages, and bonus sketch material
and art!
January brings The Black Beetle: No Way Out, a
four-issue story that marks the first full series for Francavilla’s Black Beetle,
continuing from the self-published, limited-edition ashcan comic of the same
name—the first appearance of this exciting new pulp hero!
In Night Shift, an ancient artifact known
as the Hollow Lizard—a powerful totem of dark magic—shows up at the Colt City
Natural History Museum. Hitler sends his fearsome Werwolf Korps to collect the
piece in hopes it will help him unlock the secrets of ancient Egypt’s Black
Priests. Unfortunately for the führer, Colt City’s protector, the Black Beetle,
is on the case!
In No Way Out, Black Beetle’s investigation
of two local mob bosses is interrupted when a mysterious explosion murders them
and a pub full of gangsters—taking out most of Colt City’s organized crime in
one fell swoop. Who could pull off such a coup, and what damage might that murderous
bomber inflict upon Colt City and Black Beetle?
Francavilla’s The Black Beetle series will also
showcase a letter page so fans have the chance to have their thoughts,
comments, and compliments answered by the creator himself!
