DARK HORSE COMICS FIRST LOOKS
FIRST LOOK: THE EVIL DEAD #1
The Evil Dead #1 will arrive in stores on Jan. 9 from Dark Horse Comics. The issue is written by Mark Verheiden, with art and cover by John Bolton.
Here's how Dark Horse describes the issue:
"Verheiden and Bolton present an exciting expansion on the classic horror film that introduced us to the powerful Book of the Dead, the relentlessly violent deadites, and Ash-one resilient, blood-stained survivor. Now an iconic horror hero, relive Ash's first visit to the cabin that brought him face to face with the delectably deranged deadites who possessed his girlfriend and friends . . . and turned "the perfect place to get laid" into a house of fear and fury. Return to the original nonstop gore-fest and experience the thrills, gags, and gagging anew, with unexpected new directions, additional scenes, and Bolton's jaw-dropping new paintings."
The Evil Dead #1 will be 32 pages and will cost $2.99.

Futura: The Art of R. Black HC will arrive in stores on Jan. 16 from Dark Horse Comics. The issue is by R. Black.
Here's how Dark Horse describes the issue:

Black is renowned for its elegant line, razor-sharp design, and dark pulp motifs, creating an instantly recognizable synergy of cool elegance and hot eroticism. R. Black's dark world is a steamy landscape of leggy sirens, gleaming bikes, spiked heels, and leather-clad devils. Black's voluminous catalog of work includes striking images created for Bauhaus, Elvis Costello, Misfits, GWAR, Ministry, and countless more, plus numerous album covers, t-shirt designs, and magazine covers, plus a memorable series of images for Original Sin Hard Cider, featured in this volume.
