| When
the terminator cuts across the country, dividing day into night,it is time
for those who thrive in darkness to come out under the stars. Bats chase
insects and moths are drawn to porchlights. Possums grub and wheeze in
wet culverts while the masked Raccoon crosses a busy highway with it's
young. And while the odd barn owl dives for a juicy field mouse, far across
the fields, a city awakens. |
 |
|
By
day Pacific City is a bright and busy coastal sprawl. By night, it undergoes
a Hyde-like transformation. Pacific City turns in, and a darker one takes
it's place.
A
City of Peril. A town where death comes too cheap and too often, and dark
deals sap the lifeblood and replace it with cold sewage. It is on these
Perilous streets that Doc Horror and his inhuman crew lurk. Vigilant...
cloaked in shadows... No criminal alive has matched Horror and his company.
The Nocturnals fear no man by night. Of course, dawn will always have the
final say...

About the Author
Dan

an amazingly prolific body of work, has been nominated many times for several
different industry and fan awards.

ill-fated pets. Dan's hobbies include reading crime fiction, watching monster
movies (and pretty much any other kind of movie he can get his hands on),
travelling to comic conventions, and wrangling his children by way of threats,
intimidation and candy. |

The
GUNWITCH |
| by Dan Brereton |
Paperback: 104 pages
Oni Press
ISBN: 1929998228 |
|
$8.95
|
| The Gunwitch,
silent and deadly bodyguard to the misfit family of monstrous heroes known
as the Nocturnals, breaks away in his first solo adventure! When the pistol-packing
Gunwitch and his young charge, Evening Horror, find themselves in a small
town ravaged by an unholy war between undead outlaws and true Hell's Angels
- motorcycle ridin' vampires - The Gunwitch takes it upon himself to bring
down both sides before any more innocents can be hurt. |
|
|
|
| But as the undead
protector embroils himself in the conflict, what once seemed to be an old
fashioned turf war is revealed to be a much more sinister conflict with
far-reaching and horrific consequences. What ensues is a high-octane parade
of blood, guts, twists and turns, mixing the American Spaghetti Western
and drive-in horror with the hard-boiled sense of gallows humor Brereton`s
NOCTURNALS are known for. You'll never leave your night-light off again.

| The Nocturnals
are back in Pacific City to find their home steeped in dread. A new dark
star has appeared in the night sky, and the walking dead are roaming the
streets, looking for victims to recruit in their army of unholy flesh.
It makes for a strange homecoming for the heroic Nocturnals, who have been
wandering the world on separate quests. As the one-man demolition squad,
Firelion, and the troubled and dangerous Starfish roll into town, they
begin to free their neighborhood of the creeping death while searching
for the evil that is causing corpses to rise. Could it have something to
do with the ancient, underground cavern that Doc Horror has been exploring?
Does the nefarious secret lie behind the massive door he'd found buried
in the rocks below the surface? It's all-out terror and hardboiled action
as the gang regroup for a mission that will unveil subterranean mysteries
and a primordial legacy of inhuman darkness that's been stirring beneath
the depths. With the precocious Halloween Girl, the deadly Gunwitch, the
enigmatic Polychrome, and the devious Raccoon-our spooky pulp heroes are
back together! Cloaked in shadow, the Nocturnals protect us in the dead
of night, when no one else would dare. |

| First it was
a hit movie. Now it's a much-demanded trade paperback. Get the whole CLERKS
story in this essential new book of laughs and profane liberties. From
the pen of Writer/Motion Picture Director Kevin Smith (Clerks, Dogma, Chasing
Amy) comes three all-new adventures of Dante, Randal, Jay & Silent
Bob, and all the customers of the Quick Stop Mini Mart that first appeared
in CLERKS, his surprise critical and commercial debut film. |
| These brand
new tales follow the exploits of America's favorite slacker icons as they
seek out the rarest of Star Wars toys, become employees of Kris Kringle,
and get the scare of their lives in a crucial, much-talked-about, lost
sequence that did not make the film's final cut. As in the now-classic
feature film of the same name, all the mysteries of life are dissected
through the myopic lens of pop culture under a full-color photo cover featuring
slack cultural icons, Jay and Silent Bob. The funeral parlor lost scene
is of much interest to film afficionados and features an all-new introductory
sequence. Clerks is presented in black and white to coincide with the film,
also in black and white. |

Not a comic
book for little kids, Chasing Dogma provides the adventures of Jay &
Silent Bob up to the opening moments of the film DOGMA. This made me laugh
outloud many times. Highly recommended for fans of Smith's films and others
who appreciate humor on several levels -- from crude to philosophical.
Really gives you a better
idea about Jay and his hetero lifemate, Silent Bob. Porn stars, The Fugitive
and even Mr. Rogers make appearances. |
| This series
of comic books (four issues in this book) gives you the lowdown of J&SBs
adventures from their scene in the Diner in "Chasing Amy" up until their
grand appearance in "Dogma."
Well drawn and exceptional
stories make this a must for View Askew fanboys. Wanna know more about
Suzanne, the monkey at the end of Mallrats? Wanna know how Jay and Silent
Bob made it to Illinois? Wanna know what happened to Trish the Dish after
Mallrats? All is explained right here. If you enjoy this book, also check
out CLERKS. (THE COMIC BOOKS) by Kev Smith, too. |
