Dark Entries HC
(W) Ian Rankin
(A) Werther Dell’Edera
Cover by Lee Bermejo

Occult detective John Constantine has seen his share of strange things in his career, but nothing could prepare him for the horrors of...reality television. "Haunted Mansion" is currently the hottest show on tv, but when the macabre house actually starts attacking the contestants, Constantine is hired to be the ultimate mole. Locked inside with a cast of wannabe-celebrities, his every move being monitored by a deadly figure from his past, Constantine must figure out who (or what) is pulling the strings before he gets cancelled-permanently. Dark Entries is a classic locked-room mystery starring Hellblazer's John Constantine from Ian Rankin, the #1 international best-selling crime writer best known for his "Inspector Rebus" novels. Rankin has won numerous awards, including the Edgar Award in 2004 and is joined in this graphic novel by Italian artist Werther Dell'Edera, the illustrator of a number of American comics, mostly notably Vertigo's Loveless.

Filthy Rich HC
(W) Brian Azzarello
(A) Victor Santos
Cover by Lee Bermejo

Richard "Junk" Junkin has always lived on the wrong side of trouble. A former pro football star whose career was cut short by injury (and a nasty gambling problem), Junk now spends his time dreaming of what might have been, selling cars in Jersey and lusting after the boss's unbelievably spoiled, unbelievably sexy and unbelievably rich daughter, Victoria. So when the boss asks him to be Victoria's personal bodyguard while she tears up the New York City club scene, Junk leaps at the chance. But before long, he's finds that Victoria wants a lapdog and not a chaperone, someone who's going to do all of her dirty work-all of it-someone who wants to get filthy rich. From Brian Azzarello, the multiple Eisner Award-winning writer of Vertigo's long-running crime series 100 Bullets and the smash-hit graphic novel, Joker, and artist Victor Santos, the creator/writer/artist of the hit French series Young Ronin.
