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!
