Staff Picks (September): Silver

Publisher: Dark Planet

Publisher Dark Planet comes onto the comic scene in a big way this November with the exciting launch of their first title, Silver!

Do you have a penchant for wise-cracking, Indiana Jones-type treasure hunters? Perhaps you are a pulp-era adventure kind of comic reader who likes no-nonsense dames, super-secret societies, and enough action and intrigue to keep you turning pages? Or maybe you are simply looking for a new supernatural mystery that builds upon Bram Stoker’s groundbreaking vampire novel? Well, Silver is all this… and more!

Follow quick-witted conman James Finnigan and his team (including Van Helsing’s granddaughter Rosalynd Sledge) as they search for Count Dracula’s greatest mythical treasure, The Silver Dragon! Fans of the Indiana Jones films and Tomb Raider video game series will quickly take a liking to Stephan Franck’s quick-paced, action-packed writing, and his heavy inked, atmospheric Mignola-esque art style will easily transport you into the 1930s world that he has created for his eclectic group of vampire fighting treasure hunters.

If you are looking for action, adventure, and danger (as well as some clever humor) this is a book I would pick up and publisher I would keep an eye out for!
