Steve and Alan Moore's Long-Awaited "The Moon and the Serpent Bumper Book of Magic" Arrives Oct. 15th

Legendary Magician/Author Alan Moore Joins Steve Moore and Five Artists to Present The Moon and Serpent Bumper Book of Magic.

You can buy the book at Amazon.

LOS ANGELES, CA - Internationally celebrated publishers Top Shelf Productions (USA) and Knockabout Ltd (UK) are proud to announce the publication date of the long-awaited THE MOON AND SERPENT BUMPER BOOK OF MAGIC. Born of the longstanding creative partnership between legendary writer Alan Moore (From Hell) and his creative and magical mentor Steve Moore (no relation), this celebration of magic and the occult has been meticulously under development for nearly two decades and is brought to life through a combination of prose, illustration, and sequential art from five incredible artists. This veritable grimoire of the magical, the mystical, and even the macabre went on sale in October 2024.

The secrets of the celebrated Moon and Serpent Grand Egyptian Theatre of Marvels (sorcery by appointment since circa 150 AD) promise to be revealed in THE MOON AND SERPENT BUMPER BOOK OF MAGIC. This clear and practical grimoire of the occult pairs the knowledge of the proprietors of the aforementioned Grand Egyptian Theatre with illuminating visual delights from artists Kevin O’Neill, John Coulthart, Steve Parkhouse, Rick Veitch, and Ben Wickey. Unprecedented in its scope and splendor, this tome is full to bursting with illustrated instructional essays, activity pages, biographies of the great sorcerers, and forbidden knowledge sure to tantalize even the most disillusioned of adults into believing in magic once again.

“One of the great honors of my publishing career has been to work with Alan Moore on so many monumental projects, like From Hell and Lost Girls,” says Chris Staros, Editor-in-Chief of Top Shelf Productions. The Moon and the Serpent Bumper Book of Magic represents an amazing capstone, created by Alan and Steve, and brilliantly brought to life by five unforgettable artists. It’s been a privilege to watch those magical minds spend years building this grimoire, and I’m proud to join Knockabout in finally sharing it with the world.”

THE MOON AND SERPENT BUMPER BOOK OF MAGIC (ISBN 978-1-60309-550-1) will be available in fine bookstores and comic shops in October 2024.  It is available for preorder from a number of outlets including Amazon.

Enlisting the aid of his elderly neighbour, who the local children call ‘The Witch’, he delves into the centuries of village history, folklore, and ghosts, until he uncovers a deeper secret beyond his darkest nightmares, beyond the sight of most, and beyond the mortal veil. Set in the South Downs of England, a place that has been home to Celts, Romans, and Vikings, James’s story is interwoven with tales from his village that also blur the line between the living and the dead.

Tapas Announces the Debut of New Novel, "The Rule of Fire"

Tapas Entertainment Launches The Rule of Fire, Debut Web Novel from JT Song

Tapas Entertainment launches an Epic Action-Fantasy Literary Adventure! Can Sera save the world from demons and gods without losing her part-time job –  what self-respecting demon has a job?!

Los Angeles, CA – Leading independent digital publisher of webcomics and web novels, Tapas Entertainment, announces the launch of the next great action-fantasy, The Rule of Fire, available beginning June 27 at 11:00 AM PST.

Set in ancient Korea and modern-day urban United States, The Rule of Fire tells the story of a vengeful demon faced with an unexpected dilemma: take down the gods who condemned her to Hell for all of eternity…or build a new life on Earth with the help of a colorful cast of humans? The ongoing series will launch with chapter 1 today, chapters 2-50 arriving on Sunday, June 30 at 11:00 AM PST, and new chapters updating twice weekly on Sundays and Wednesdays at 9:00 AM PST. Link to The Rule of Fire: https://bit.ly/4bSMZ3Q

Tapas has a rich history of success with action fantasy web novels including the #1 smash hit web novel AND webcomic The Beginning After the End (with over 25M views), the long-running, acclaimed Solo Leveling, and, most recently, I Made a Deal with the Devil

“I have found that in order to explore deep truths about what it means to live as humans in this world, I've had to call on otherworldly monsters and superhuman heroes,” says creator JT Song. “That's what The Rule of Fire is to me, a ‘true’ story about love and survival told through the medium of fantasy, with of course, as much action as I could pack in.” 

The Rule of Fire follows the female protagonist, Sera, who after a thousand years spent fighting her way out of Hell, returns to Earth with a compulsion to hunt down other demons while hiding from the angelic Guardians. She never expected to find love among the humans. With danger trailing her very demon nature, Sera must make a decision: protect humanity from the wrath of gods and demons or grab her chance at happiness.

“JT Song has crafted a world where ancient myths collide with modern life, a story that is both thrilling and deeply resonant,” Alex R. Carr, Executive Director of Publishing Development for Tapas Entertainment. “The Rule of Fire is a perfect example of the innovative storytelling we champion at Tapas. We are excited to share Sera's epic journey with our readers and introduce a new blockbuster Action Fantasy into the web novel pantheon.”

In The Rule of Fire, set in ancient Korea and modern-day urban America, the author can be seen as a child of immigrants laying claim to both his cultural heritage and his adopted home. Inspired by Korean manhwas and action films as well as American westerns and novels, JT Song weaves a tale that is pure fantasy yet somehow sings psychological truths.

About JT Song:
After years of toiling behind the scenes as a ghostwriter, JT Song is ready to tell his own stories on his own terms. An avid fan of Korean manhwa (Blade of the Phantom Master and We Saw the Bird Lost in the Middle of the Road are two of his many favorites) and American TV/film (Stranger Things, Wednesday, and Studio Ghibli films are just the first few mentioned on his “must-watch” list), JT has always known storytelling was his calling. As a child, he would read far into the night using a flashlight under the blankets to avoid parental detection and drift off to sleep dreaming up tales of his own. And now, he’s ready to share one of his tales with you.

About Tapas Entertainment:

Fantagraphics Announces Tucker Stone to Lead Its Publicity Efforts

Tucker Stone Joins Fantagraphics as Executive Director of Communications & Marketing

Blue-eyed Seasoned Comics Industry Veteran Joins Fantagraphics to Lead Publicity Efforts

SEATTLE, WA—Fantagraphics, the leading publisher of classic comics and literary graphic novels, is pleased to announce the appointment of Tucker Stone as the new Executive Director of Communications & Marketing. Having worked with such highly regarded organizations such as Nobrow & Flying Eye Books, TOON Books, and Ingram, Stone brings over 15 years of experience in the comics and publishing industry to the position at Fantagraphics. He recently served as the President of USBBY, the US chapter of the International Board for Books for Young People, and is the sole US member currently nominated for that organization’s Executive Committee. Tucker also won an Eisner Award in 2018 for his work as Editor at The Comics Journal (published by Fantagraphics). Prior to his tenure in publishing, he was the Managing Partner for Bergen Street Comics, a renowned comics and graphic novel store in Brooklyn, New York.

"The dirty little secret of comics is that if you lack the skill to make comic books, there is no greater job than being the person who gets to tell the world about them," explains Tucker Stone. "I have spent the entirety of my adult life as a devoted reader of the cartoonists that Fantagraphics publishes, and to have the opportunity to join that team and be a part of the greatest comics publishing company in the medium's history is the most exciting career change I could imagine."

"I've known Tucker for 15 years, since he was a managing partner of Bergen St. Comics, which hosted many a Fantagraphics event in its heyday. I've watched him carve a career in comics that not only covers virtually every facet of the industry -- retailing, publishing, distribution, editorial, marketing, etc. -- but also do so with integrity and a sincere love for the medium and desire to make comics better.

Archie Comics' "THE WICKED TRINITY" Arrives June 12th

SABRINA'S MAGICAL WORLD IS ROCKED BY THREE NEW FOES

Bad witches Amber, Sapphire, and Jade join forces in THE WICKED TRINITY from Archie Comics in June

There's a whole coven of trouble in store for Archie Comics readers this June (2024). A trio of witches with vengeance and power on their minds hits the halls of Greendale High, Sabrina Spellman's stomping grounds, in THE WICKED TRINITY, an all-new one-shot comic book written by Sam Maggs with art by Lisa Sterle.

“Real witches writing real witches — that's how we do things over at Archie Comics!" Maggs said. I was named after a famous witch — Samantha from Bewitched — and so I grew up absolutely obsessed with everything witchcraft, devouring every book series I could about teen witches. That makes WICKED TRINITY a dream project for me."

The titular trinity — Amber Nightstone, Jade Kazane, and Sapphire Gill — debuted in Archie's classic-look line of kids' comics over the past year, where they embark on an ongoing plot to usurp the status of various magic-wielders. Their abilities and personalities reflect the elements from which they derive their powers: fire, wind, and water respectively. THE WICKED TRINITY will be their first appearance in Archie's line of comics for older readers.

“When Editor-In-Chief Mike Pellerito came up with the idea of the Wicked Trinity, I was immediately intrigued," said Archie Comics Senior Director of Editorial Jamie L. Rotante. "I even had the good fortune to work on the script for Jade and Sapphire’s first appearance in last year’s Sabrina Annual Spectacular comic for younger readers. What I especially loved about these magical teens is that they could seamlessly transcend from classic-Archie stories into more mature, even horror stories. I was eager to start developing their world with a modern sensibility, taking cues from the great work of Kelly Thompson and Veronica Fish on our Sabrina the Teenage Witch series, and Sarah Kuhn and Carola Borelli on our recent Darkling one-shot. Inspired by series like "Charmed" and films like "The Craft," I knew there was so much potential to build up this coven in a story that beautifully blends magical fantasy with horror.”

Those recent comics mark a renewed focus on the "dark academia" genre for Archie, centering teenage friends with magical powers in horror-tinged stories set in mysterious gothic academies harboring dark secrets. 

"The power and energy of teen girls is absolutely unmatched," Maggs added, "and being able to harness that metaphorically for a story like this is such a delight. Everything I write focuses on the power of female friendship, and this story is no exception. And what's better than a morally grey female character? I struggle to think of anything. Cat familiars, maybe? Also, I'm totally a practicing witch now. So maybe if you read this, you'll find yourself imbued with magical powers, too."

Sterle added, “I love to create stories in which girls find their own power, both from within themselves and through their friendships and coven. If you’re a fan of my Modern Witch tarot, you’ll find this comic just as magical. Witches, fashion, and Archie Comics; this is truly a magical trifecta and I’m so happy to have the opportunity to put my own personal stamp on this. I can’t wait for people to be re-introduced to The Wicked Trinity!"

THE WICKED TRINITY releases June 12, 2024 in comic shops nationwide, with colors by Ellie Wright, lettering by Jack Morelli, and an open-to-order variant cover by Soo Lee.

"Jonny Quest" Returns to Comic Books in Time for 60th Anniversary

Jonny Quest's Adventures Continue in Ongoing Series by Joe Casey

Celebrating the 60th Anniversary of the Original Series

Fans are invited to join the adventuring party of Jonny Quest and crew this August alongside fan-favorite writer Joe Casey and brilliant artist Sebastián Piriz. The tale celebrates the six incredible decades of Jonny Quest fandom and follows the issue #0 prelude story with approximately 80,000 copies released for Free Comic Book Day this May.

Climb aboard the Sea Quest and get ready to embark on a journey like no other. Legendary boy explorer Jonny Quest is back in action, and joined by the whole beloved cast originally created for the Hanna-Barbera animation line by comic book legend Doug Wildey.

Jonny's father, Dr. Benton Quest, is a genius scientist often leading the way. “Race” Bannon is a special agent tasked with protecting Jonny and teaching him a range of skills. Hadji is the orphaned adopted son of Dr. Quest, and Jonny’s brother. Last, but certainly not least, Jonny’s dog Bandit is always along for the ride.

This batch of characters are all back in four color pages, and they'll be joined by even more unexpected faces as writer Joe Casey hews close to the original spirit of the series, while using a modern storytelling approach in his signature style. This comic series picks up where the original animated series left off in 1964, but fans will be surprised as things quickly take a turn for the uncanny! Now Dynamite and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products kick off a new era for the franchise!

"The hope is that we’re maintaining the bouncy spirit of the original TV show," said Joe Casey. "From one episode to the next, Jonny Quest always had a particular dramatic rhythm that was completely unique. We want our book to have that same kind of vibe. Plus, the fact that Benton and Jonny are father and son automatically makes this a generational story. We’re taking that angle and really running with it, taking that specific generational aspect to the extreme in ways that, we think, deepen the characters and give them the proper amount of gravitas that we demand from our beloved genre fiction."

Joe Casey is a certified legend with plenty of experience bringing comics inspired stories to animation and vice versa. As part of the creative group Man of Action, he's played a role in creating iconic franchises like "Ben 10" and "Generator Rex." In comics, Casey has tackled many of the industry's top titles, while always finding time for his own creations too. He's written for titles including Uncanny X-Men, Adventures of Superman, Incredible Hulk, Cable, WildC.A.T.s, G.I. Joe, as well as Gødland, All-America Comix, and others.

Casey's major co-star on the title is rising artist Sebastián Piriz (We Ride Titans, Deadweights). His fantastic, fluid artwork has been wowing plugged in fans for a while with his fan art, commissions, and process shared on social media. Dynamite and the whole team are excited about Quest being perhaps his biggest showcase yet for fans to enjoy his perfectly matched style.

The title is enhanced by a roster of fully frameable covers by industry luminaries including Chad Hardin (Harley Quinn), Jae Lee, Tom Raney, Bob Layton, and Richard Pace. More surprises may be around the corner, as Dynamite invites some of the most fun names in comics to tackle this icon.

JONNY QUEST #1 will be solicited in Diamond Comic Distributors’ June 2024 Previews catalog, the premier source of merchandise for the comic book specialty market, and slated for release in August 2024. Comic book fans are encouraged to preorder copies of the book with their local comic book retailers. It will also be available for individual customer purchase through digital platforms courtesy of Comixology, Kindle, iBooks, Google Play, Dynamite Digital, ComicsPlus, and more!

Archie Announces "THE CURSED LIBRARY: ALPHA" for August 21st

Dark worlds converge in August when Archie Comics opens the doors to THE CURSED LIBRARY, an all-new premium-printed limited series that unites Archie's three main horror heroines — and its various one-shot comics — in one explosive storyline by writers Magdalene Visaggio (ETERNITY GIRL) and Eliot Rahal (BLEED THEM DRY) with art by Craig Cermak (RED TEAM).

It all begins with... THE CURSED LIBRARY: ALPHA

This is it... this is the moment our horror one-shots have led to… THE CURSED LIBRARY! When we last left off in Madam Satan: Hell on Earth, Jinx has the former Queen of the Underworld trapped in the mysterious library, as her father-bestowed demon powers have intensified.

To stop Jinx from becoming like her father, her best friend Danni Malloy must rescue and convince Madam Satan to guide her through Hell itself to find the one thing that can possibly save her friend’s soul––Jinx’s mom. Along the way, they’ll also discover a number of faces they’ve seen before, though only in the pages of the terrifying tomes within the cursed library.

This three-issue limited series horror event tells a story about the bonds that tie us together and how the only thing that can save the world from evil is radical love. It’s Riverdale’s Return of the Jedi meets Dante’s Inferno. A three-part event that will close the door on the Cursed Library and usher in a whole new chapter of horror stories.

THE CURSED LIBRARY: ALPHA releases August 21, 2024 in comic shops nationwide, with colors by Matt Herms, lettering by Jack Morelli, and open-to-order variant covers by Robert Hack, Soo Lee, and Reiko Murakami. It will be available for pre-order on May 24. The first issue will be followed by OMEGA in September and the final chapter, UNBOUND, in October.
