    1st printing.

    Written by Ryan Ferrier and Brian Level. Art and cover by Kate Sherron.

    When Beth Wills comes to Silk Hills, a small Appalachian town that's seen better days since the mines were abandoned, she expected a bit of culture shock... But not like this! Beth is someone who has a talent for finding people who don't want to be found, and when she's called to Silk Hills by a local titan of industry, she can tell that something's not right. Little does she know...

    Silk Hills was once booming, but the only reason people tend to come through town anymore is to buy Mothman merchandise. Before long, Beth finds out just how wrong things can get in the woods, as her search for a missing troubled youth finds her running afoul of the local drug trade, too-friendly creepers, a very sinister deer, and psychoactive moth dust.

    • Discounted from $9.00.

    1st printing. Story and art by Ted Rall.

Combines articles with comics chapters relating his experiences retracing the old legendary Silk Road starting with the sublime history of China and ending in the absurdity of the petty dictatorships of the "The 'Stans" where Rall had the temerity - or was it blustery stupidity? - to go back, including once with a group of listeners to his radio show, on a dare. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 304 pages, B&W. Cover price $19.99.
