Stars burn hot, bright, and then go out forever. But their legacy remains. Like the smoky hazeof a rock-n-roll arena show, a cloud of mystery and intrigue surrounds music's infamous "27Club." Some of the club's more famous members include Jim Morrison (The Doors), JanisJoplin, Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain (Nirvana), and Amy Winehouse, among many others.These fallen stars revolutionized music in their youth, only for all of them to die at the age of27. Is it a conspiracy, or merely a coincidence?A rocking crew of fifty-four comics creators were challenged to use their favorite song ormember of the 27 Club as inspiration for new and original comic stories and vignettes. 27, AComic Anthology is a free-form, funky collection of over 200 pages of rock-n-roll comics,featuring over twenty-seven new grooves inspired by, and in tribute to, the myth and magic ofthis club of lost stars and their shining, tragic legacy. Edited by Enrica Jang (Red StyloMedia), with introduction by Dr. Dianna Kenny (Sydney University, and author of “Stairwayto Hell: life and death in the pop music industry”)Original comic stories, illustrated essays and art inspired by the music of:Amy Winehouse, Kurt Cobain (Nirvana), Jim Morrison (The Doors), Janis Joplin, BrianJones (The Rolling Stones), Alexander Levy (composer), Robert Johnson, Rudy Lewis (TheDrifters), Dave Alexander (The Stooges), Richey Edwards (Manic Street Preachers), KristenPfaff (Hole), Jean-Michel Basquiat, Jeremy Michael Ward (Mars Volta), Helmut Kollen(Triumvirat), Mia Zapata (The Gits), Alan “Blind Owl” Wilson (Canned Heat), and more!

DIRK GENTLY: THEINTERCONNECTEDNESS OF ALL KINGS

After writing all the many and conflicting versions of the legendary "Hitchhiker's Guide to theGalaxy," beloved author Douglas Adams created Dirk Gently: a detective with a belief in thefundamental interconnectedness of all things, a unique relationship with the laws ofprobability and physics, and a love of cats and pizza.

In his first-ever comic series, Dirk has been forced to leave his beloved England behind,coming to the too-sunny, too-cheery, and altogether too-bizarre-even-for-Dirk city of SanDiego, California, where he gets embroiled in three separate (or are they?) cases involvingreincarnated Egyptians, golden cell phones, and copycat killers. All this in a new townseemingly incapable of making even a single proper cup of tea.

AIRBOY DELUXE EDITION

When acclaimed comics author JAMES ROBINSON (Starman, Fantastic Four) is hired towrite a reboot of the 1940s action hero Airboy, he's reluctant to do yet another Golden Agereboot. Just what the hell has happened to his career–?! His marriage?! His life?! Hey, it'snothing that a drink can't fix. It's after one such night of debauchery with artist GREGHINKLE that the project really comes into its own. Quite literally. Because Airboy himselfappears to set the two depraved comic book creators on the straight and narrow. But no one inthis story has their life go according to plan. Read the entire series in one hardcover collectedvolume, which features a brand new story dealing with the reaction to the comic's initialpublication that doesn't turn out the way anyone expects...least of all Robinson and Hinkle.KEY SELLING POINTS:- A satirical look into the comic book industry paired with the debauchery of Hunter S.Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

"We live in a world where meta-comics putting their creators at the forefront of stories isabout as unique as grass being green, but when the book is done with this much charm andself-deprecation, it certainly makes the tale worth telling." —Paste Magazine

Resurgence of public interest from Hot Topic, Nickelodeon

"10/10- I don't think there's much else to say about the book and to be honest, you reallyshould be reading it by now, right?" - Big Comic Page

"10/10- Invader Zim #1 kicks things off without wasting any time. It looks and sounds andfeels just like the cartoon; so much so you might even forget you're reading a comic. Itsfunny, weird, random, dark… Everything Invader Zim's supposed to be." - AiPT!

"10/10- Invader Zim #1 is the return of the Irken everyone loved. Along with the art, it's as ifthe show never left our lives." - Major Spoilers

"10/10 - I recommend this book to old fans of the show as well as to anyone who just likes aslightly dark comedy about aliens and bumbling kids… Well, actually, the alien is kind ofbumbling in this one, too." - Comic Booked

"10/10- Invader Zim is back and the world is a better place as a result. This is such a damnfun comic and it's great for positively everyone. The humor is so deliciously weird and itnever stops being funny. Just go read it already!" - Horror Talk

"9.0/10 - This is the perfect introduction for anyone misses the days when Nickelodeon wasmore cutting edge and not trying to target a certain demographic." - Graphic Policy

"9.0/10- I have been waiting a long time to see new things from these characters and thisstory, and this first issue didn't disappoint the die hard fan in me. I also applaud the way itacclimated brand new readers into the mix, giving them all a taste of the raunchy, twistedhumor that comes from the mind of Jhonen Vasquez." Fanboys Inc

"9.0/10- Invader Zim #1 has fun with the series’ long hibernation, but steps back into thethick of things as if an episode aired last week. Free from network constraints, with ten yearsof hindsight to guide him, and under pressure from the change of format, Jhonen Vasquez’shumor shines, delivering gags that can stand up against even the most rose-tinted memories ofthe original." - Weekly Comic Book Review
