Walking Wolf: A Weird Western Available In Paperback
Walking Wolf, orphaned son of white settlers, is found as an infant by a Comanche brave and raised to be a proud warrior. He also happens to be a werewolf.
When Walking Wolf loses control of his darker nature, killing the woman he loves and his best friend, he decides to head out into the white man’s world to learn more about who—and what—he truly is. On his journey of self-discovery, he crosses paths with deranged killers, a traveling medicine show, a vampire gunslinger, a fellow werewolf, and historical figures such as Quanah Parker and Sitting Bull. But of all the dangers he faces, none prove as deadly as the bounty hunter known as Witchfinder Jones, who holds the secret to Walking Wolf's origins.

Lynch: A Gothik Western Now In Paperback
Johnny Pearl, former Confederate soldier turned outlaw, was one of the fastest guns in the Old West. But that was before he found redemption in the love of a good woman, the beautiful Katie Small Dove. Finally free to put his violent past behind him, he and his young wife began homesteading in the Dakotas and even dared to start a family. Then one day Captain Antioch Drake, a rogue U.S. Calvary officer, arrived on the Pearls' property, looking to avenge the massacre at Little Big Horn. Within minutes Johnny's house was on fire, his pregnant wife dead, and he himself swinging from the limb of a cottonwood tree. Normally, that would be the end of his story--except for the arrival of a wandering medicine show owned by the protege of a certain Dr. Frankenstein.
Johnny Pearl Is Dead. Long Live Lynch.

SUNGLASSES AFTER DARK: THE FULL-BLOODED COLLECTION To Ship 11/26/14
Vampire turned vampire hunter Sonja Blue travels the globe, hunting down and disposing of those creatures of the dark who prey upon the innocent, all the while searching for the monster that created her. But as dangerous as hunting the undead may be, it's nothing compared to the threat posed by The Other, the vampiric personality that shares her body. Can Sonja Blue vanquish her very real inner demons in time to save an innocent man from a depraved televangelist?
Originally published as a mini-series by Glenn Danzig's Verotik Publications in 1995, this hardcover graphic novel from IDW Publishing collects all six issues plus a special ash-can and the short story "Aphra", which first appeared in the notorious Verotika #4 and has been digitally re-colored by artist Stan Shaw, with a re-tweaked script by author Nancy A. Collins, and completely re-lettered by Eisner & Harvey Award-winner Thomas Mauer.
