Story and art by Bryan Talbot.

Bryan Talbot's inspirational story of young Helen Potter and her journey of healing won numerous awards and unending acclaim for the British writer/artist.

His walls are decorated with multiple awards including an Eisner and letters of commendation from Judy Taylor, the chair of the Beatrix Potter Society, numerous teachers and child welfare workers, and such fellow comics-industry luminaries as Neil Gaiman and Alan Moore.

The Tale of One Bad Rat touched the entire comics community and everyone who read it. This is a book that can be enjoyed on many levels; beyond its important message, it's an excellent story. Now Dark Horse is proud to offer a special edition of that ground-breaking graphic novel, a signed-and-numbered hardcover limited to 1,000 copies.

Designed to emulate Beatrix Potter's classic children's books, this keepsake edition features new artwork on the signature plate and all-new illustrations on the front and back four-color endpapers that frame the story. It's the perfect gift for a best friend, especially if you are your own best friend.

Story and art by Thomas Yeates. Though born in London, he is not a Briton. Although his skin is white, the white man is not his brother. His home is the African jungle and his people are the natives that live there. Christened John Clayton, he has forsaken that name in favor of another, one that is spoken with honor and respect by the Waziri tribe, and with hatred by those who would enslave them. He is Tarzan and he has returned to his beloved jungle. He has returned to his home. Thomas Yeates adapts Edgar Rice Burroughs' Return of Tarzan to comics! 32 pages, FC. Cover price $2.95.

Regular art cover. "The Age of Innocence" - For seventy years, Galloway & Galloway has dominated the pharmaceutical field. From band aids to cough syrup, G&G made life easier for all of us. Then they decided to make life itself. In the early '80s, G&G created the next step in evolution -- a race of genetically engineered superhumans, each bred with specifically endowed enhanced abilities.

They live the life most kids would love to have...and they'd be more than happy to trade with you! This series will offer single-issue, self-contained stories about four kids growing up in a super-science complex with powers that enable them to move mountains, but prevent them from making friends. In the first issue, the Troublemakers try to help their favorite maintenance worker at G&G,"Uncle" Jack Willoughby, out of his mysteriously deepening state of depression -- but what if solving Jack's problems create a whole bunch more?

Regular art cover. The mantle has been passed down among the Saquin Nation for countless generations. It is a burden of responsibility -- of trust -- to protect mankind from a hidden threat. A race of evolved dinosaurs lives among us. Hundreds of years ago, they escaped an interdimensional nexus called the Lost Land and have been plotting, waiting, for the day when they can lead their people through the barrier to rightfully reclaim Earth as their own. The man accidentally responsible for allowing this to happen decreed that his family line would bear the weight of the world on their shoulders. The first born male in every generation would be Turok -- the Son of Stone -- the defender of Earth from the dinosaur menace -- and from supernatural threats and incursions from the Lost Land. The mantle has been passed on from generation to generation. For hundreds of years. The threat still exists. Now the current Turok is dying...and the next in line is more worried about hitting a breaking ball than saving the planet. Joshua Fireseed is a sophomore baseball star at Oklahoma College at Oklahoma City. He's turned his back on his culture, his traditions and his dysfunctional family because a .356 batting average, a possible pro contract and a rockin' social life matter more to him. Until he's called back home. And he's told he must begin his training to become the next Turok. To hunt dinosoids. To protect Earth. Because it's the family business. Nepotism sucks, don't it? Written by Fabian Nicieza, with art and cover by Rafael Kayanan. FC, 48 pgs. Cover price $3.95.
