DARK HORSE ANNOUNCES AN ORIGINAL GRAPHIC NOVEL: MONSTERS! & OTHER STORIES BY GUSTAVO DUARTE!
“There are few artists with such classy and elegant style as Gustavo Duarte.”—Gabriel Bá (Daytripper, The Umbrella Academy)
MILWAUKIE, OR, AUGUST 14—Dark
Horse continues to expand its Originals line, offering some of the most
unique comic book storytelling experiences on the market today. Next
up, Gustavo Duarte spins wordless tales brimming with humor, charm, and
delightfully twisted horror in his American graphic novel debut Monsters! & Other Stories.
Oversized beasts, in the short story “Monsters!,” wreak havoc on civilians and cities in the tradition of Godzilla and King Kong.
In “Có!,” an alien abduction disarms a gentle farmer, and in “Birds,”
two business partners run from fate, only to find themselves hopelessly
unable to change the future.
Beautiful
illustration and evocative storytelling fill every page of this
unforgettable collection that brings together Duarte’s works, which were
previously only available in his native country of Brazil.
“It
is a joy and an honor to have my first book published in the USA by
Dark Horse,” said Gustavo Duarte. “It’s really cool to have Monsters! published by
the company that has produced the work of so many guys I admire, like
Mike Mignola and Eric Powell, among others. I hope this is the first of
many.”
Duarte’s Monsters! & Other Stories arrives
in finer comic shops everywhere on January 15, 2014, and will carry a
cover price of only $12.99 for 152 beautifully illustrated pages!
