Papercutz in May: BIONICLE® Graphic Novel #1!
Plus TALES FROM THE CRYPT and Classics Illustrated’s THE INVISIBLE MAN
BIONICLE Graphic Novel #1
By Greg Farshtey, Carlos D’Anda, Richard Bennett, and Randy Elliott
The popular action figures from the LEGO® Group come to graphic novels!
BIONICLE Graphic Novel #1 collects comics sent to the BIONICLE fan club
that have been unavailable for years. This first volume’s two stories
reveal the characters’ origins. In the first story, six mighty heroes –
the Toa – arrive on a tropical island to find it under siege. The Great
Spirit Mata Nui has been cast into an unending sleep by the evil
Makuta. Now Makuta is attacking the island’s villagers with vicious
Rahi beasts. The Toa must combine their skills and elemental and mask
powers to defeat Makuta and restore peace. In the second story, The Toa
return to the island named for Mata Nui to find that Makuta has
unleashed the Bohrok, mechanical insects that are rapidly destroying
trees, mountains, rivers, villages, and anything else in their path.
After a long, difficult battle, the Toa are able to defeat the queens
of the swarms and end the Bohrok threat … for now. During the fight,
the heroes are transformed into Toa Nuva, with new armor, new weapons,
and new Masks of Power.

The Crypt-Keeper and his fellow GhouLunatics introduce the wildest,
scariest collection of terror-tales yet! GASP when you meet “She Who
Would Rule the World!”, a homeless woman turned into a near-invincible,
power-hungry being! RETCH when you see “Ignoble Rot!”, in which a
cursed gigolo stays alive as he transforms into a zombie! SCREAM as
you read “Jumping the Shark!”, about a reality-TV series producer who
keeps pitching shows from beyond the grave! SQUIRM as you try to
delete “Spam!”, the e-mail scourge that is far deadlier than you ever
imagined! GROAN as you read the pun-filled introductions by the Old
Witch, the Vault-Keeper, and that super-star of horror comics
himself—the Crypt-Keeper!

CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED: The Invisible Man
By H.G. Wells, adapted by Rick Geary
One of H.G. Wells’ most gripping science-fiction sagas, The Invisible
Man is the story of a young scientist who impetuously experiments upon
himself -- and then becomes invisible and mad! Eisner-Award winner Rick
Geary’s artwork captures the tragedy and irony of Wells’ fascinating
tale. Classics Illustrated has been getting great press on its launch
from Andrew Smith (the Scripps-Howard papers’ syndicated Captain
Comics) and from Mike Sangiacomo, syndicated through Newhouse papers
and other publications.
Full-color hardcover, 6 1/2” x 9”, 56 pages, $9.95, ISBN
