Volume 1 - 1st printing. Written by Hideyuki Kikuchi. Art by Jun Suemi. After a devastating earthquake that left most of Japan in ruins, the district ward of Shinjuku in Tokyo has opened up a doorway into another dimension-becoming the halfway-house suspended between the mortal world and the supernatural. It has become a place where the living fights a losing battle with monsters and demons from the netherworld-a constant struggle for control on grounds, which inevitably may plunge into the depths of Hell. Factory manager by day and moonlighting P.I. by night, Setsura Aki, is no stranger to danger. Specializing in missing-persons cases and considered the best "man hunter" in the business, he allies himself with friend and rival, Doctor Mephisto-a wizard of physical and spiritual surgery. Together in battle, there is none that can compete with their combined wit and power-until now. Coming from the deepest and darkest parts of China, four immortal vampires, led by one of unmatched beauty and who goes by the ubiquitous title "Princess," mystically sail into landlocked Shinjuku aboard an ancient ghost ship one roiling hot night. She and her ancient undead entourage with powers never before seen of vampires, have surmounted four thousand years of space and time to seize control of Shinjuku and make it their own. It is up to Setsura and Mephisto to uncover their new formidable foes' true origins and to reveal the truth behind the Princess's dark plans for the city. Can the duo stop them before they plunge the living populace into a new level of fear and slavery none can escape? Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 200 pages, B&W. Young Adult 16+ Cover price $13.95.

Volume 2 - 1st printing. Written by Hideyuki Kikuchi. Art by Jun Suemi. A vicious vampire gang four thousand years in the making has awakened from its slumber in order to seize control of Demon City Shinjuku. Princess, Kikiou, Ryuuki and Shuuran are as persistent as they are merciless, especially when the target of their attacks is Setsura Aki. A treacherous house of reptiles built of giant leeches and poisonous snakes-Ryuuki's ghost koto "Silent Night" and his malevolent demon qi-Shinjuku's heavily armed police becoming vampires and attacking its own citizens- Demon City is transforming into Vampire City before their very eyes. To make matter worse, despite his wizardly powers, Setsura is assaulted by Shuuran and is turning himself. His trusted friend and colleague, Doctor Mephisto, shows ominous signs of becoming a slave to their wills. Setsura has never before experienced such dangers in his life! Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 200 pages, B&W. Young Adult 16+ Cover price $13.95.

Volume 3 - 1st printing. Written by Hideyuki Kikuchi. Art by Jun Suemi. The immortal vampire gang led by "Princess"-Kikiou, Ryuuki and Shuuran-is slowly but inexorably taking over Demon City Shinjuku. Its citizens and the administration alike are turning into vampires. Mephisto has apparently allied himself with them of his own accord. Setsura Aki stands alone on the brink of extinction, tested by one desperate counterattack after the next. Intending to snuff out his life once and for all, Princess unleashes the self-regenerating Kazikli Bey (better known abroad as Vlad the Impaler, the original Dracula). Meanwhile, concerned about the worsening state of affairs in Shinjuku, a team of foreign legionnaires-Special Forces Operational Detachment "F"-is dispatched to Demon City. This Medusa of a supernatural face-off has grown another head. The confusion deepens and Shinjuku's fate hangs in the balance. But what is Mephisto really up to?

Volume 4 - 1st printing. Written by Hideyuki Kikuchi. Art by Jun Suemi.

There he encounters the puppet paramours and "picture soldiers" created by the warlock Kikiou. The witch Galeen Nuvenberg once again comes to the rescue. But that only draws her into Princess's crosshairs as well. Meanwhile, panicked by the growing vampire hordes in Shinjuku, the Japanese government and its American allies resolve to sterilize the city with nuclear weapons. As if taunting the stranded and isolated Setsura, the countdown to disaster has begun. Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 540 pages, B&W. Young Adult 16+ Cover price $19.95.

Written by Aimee Reid. Art and cover Matt Phelan.

Mister Rogers is one of the most beloved television personalities, but before he was the man who brought us Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, he was just little Freddie Rogers. Though he was often sick and had trouble making friends as a child, his mom and grandfather encouraged him to ask for help and explore the world. With their support, he learned how to better say what he was feeling and see the beauty around him. As he grew up, he realized he could spread the message of compassion, equality, and kindness through television.

You Are My Friend is a gentle homage to Fred Rogers and shows how his simple message still resonates with us today.
