BRERETON'S "NOCTURNALS" ONCE AGAIN RULE THE NIGHT, THANKS TO OLYMPIAN PUBLISHING

The future looks bright!!!

• 3 oversized HC's à 29,95$
  
• new artwork connecting the miniseries...
  
• the BW-mini "Gunwitch" will be FC and Naifeh will deliver extra pages!!
  
• a new miniserie in 2007...
  

"Currently, I'm doing a slew of new material for the first hardcover -- the prose story 'Clean Hands,' which I wrote in 1995, is an early tale with Doc and the Raccoon before there was a Nocturnals. I'm illustrating the story (which appears in screenplay format) with 13 or so full page illustrations. After I wrap that, I'm diving into an intense comic story for volume II to bridge 'Troll Bridge' and the 'Dark Forever' stories. After that, a third story for volume III in which the Nocturnals travel back to the Black Planet, Doc and Eve's homeworld, which was infested with the demonic, tentacle-loving, Crim. This story will basically bring us full circle and carries a pretty weird and shocking twist I'm really amped about."

Besides the new mini and the new HC Disney's THE LAST BATTLE will also come out:

My Romans vs, Celts graphic novel from Disney Italia, 'The Last Battle,' just released in Germany and I'm hoping it will come to the States this year.

I believe I just came !!  :D

Dan Brereton’s Nocturnals Vol 1 HC

If you’re a horror comic buff there are a few names that come to the forefront of the class as masters of the macabre. Names like Bernie Wrightson, Mike Mignola, Kelley Jones, Gene Colan and of course, Dan Brereton, line the ghoulish halls with their nightmare imagery and keen sense of graphic storytelling. This month Olympian Publishing unearths and remasters all of the original Nocturnals stories in their beautiful line of oversized hard cover editions. Each book contains new story material bridging gaps in the various mini-series and even includes a few new original Brereton stories featuring the usual suspects: Doc Horror, Polychrome, Gunwitch, Starfish, Firelion, Komodo, and the Raccoon. For years Brereton’s incredible painted art has captivated fans of fright with its ability to capture the most insane nightmare images this side of the afterlife. If you enjoy captivating storytelling, uniquely frightening characters, and a healthy dose of freakish Hitchcockian events then pencil in a copy of Dan Brereton’s Nocturnals Volume 1 Hard Cover and join the legions of undead fans who’ve followed this groundbreaking series from the beginning!

Fans venturing to Comic-Con International in San Diego next week (July 19-23) will be greeted by the aforementioned brand new "Nocturnals" poster for sale, plus a massive, 40-foot Nocturnals banner. It'll feature 23 characters, specifically an eight-foot tall Gunwitch, so it shouldn't be hard to spot Olympian's booth, #2945, and under the name of Century Guild.
