Sollicitation Janvier 2013 : Dark Horse Comics

Dark Horse a donc décidé de doubler tout le monde en dévoilant le premier ses sollicitations pour lé début de l’année prochaine et comme d’hab il y a des choses à ne pas rater : la suite de Hellboy in Hell, qui sera le truc à lire début 2013 !, l’arrivée d’Illyria (l’un de mes persos préférés dans Angel) dans Buffy, la suite de The Massive par Brian Wood, dont le 1er TPB sortira aussi début 2013. Apparemment Brian Wood est de plus en plus à l’aise chez Dark Horse car outre Conan et The Massive et bien le monsieur vient bosser sur Star Wars. Cette fois Dark Horse fait simple avec un Star Wars 1 qui revient à l’époque de la seule vraie trilogie qui compte et dont on veut se souvenir. Je sais pas pourquoi mais je sens que ça va bien se vendre ce machin …

A classic run of Tarzan comics, reprinted for the first time! In the 1960s, believing Tarzan to have fallen into the public domain, Charlton Comics enlisted Joe Gill (Flash Gordon, House of Mystery) and Sam Glanzman (Hercules, Our Army at War) to create a new comics version of the Lord of the Jungle. Only four issues were produced before Charlton was forced to end the series, and much of the original print runs were destroyed. Collects Chalton’s Jungle Tales of Tarzan #1–#4.
• Includes never-before-seen Tarzan comic strips by Glanzman and historical essays by Roger Broughton!
• Also available in a limited edition of 250 copies, featuring a tip-in signed by Glanzman!
