However, this is nothing compared to what is happening on Mars and the worst is yet to come! • This fantastical new miniseries picks up where the critically acclaimed hardcover left off.

In this crumbling Eastern European city straight out of a classic Universal horror film, all anyone wants is a way out, and they’ll stop at nothing—not murder, not extortion, not organ theft—to get it.

And that’s only the beginning of an adventure ranging from bloody back- alleys to the secrets of the universe—with a few sultry, seductive dangers in-between. Cary Nord continues his stirring run of covers, showing one and all why Conan has been a smash success for Dark Horse, and one of Wizard magazine’s picks for biggest events of 2004. • “On some larger level I know what to expect from Conan, but on an issue-by-issue basis I never know what I'm going to get next. Busiek and company have succeeded in blending the enduring strengths of Robert E. Howard’s pulp creation and some exquisite comic- book storytelling to create a modern day masterpiece of the form.” CONAN AND THE JEWELS OF GWAHLUR #3 (OF 3) P. CRAIG RUSSELL (W/A) and LOVERN KINDZIERSKI (C) On sale June 15, FC, 32pg, $2.99 In a story written by Conan creator Robert E.

Over seven feet tall and weighing over a thousand pounds, he is known as Concrete but is in reality the mind of one Ronald Lithgow, trapped inside a shell of stone, a body that allows him to walk unaided on the ocean’s floor or survive the crush of a thousand tons of rubble in a collapsed mineshaft...but prevents him from feeling the touch of a human hand. These stories of Concrete are as rich and satisfying as any in comics: funny, heartbreaking, and singularly human.

Medieval Europe is threatened by a near immortal race called the Eldritch. Humanity's last hope for survival is Lady Death, an outcast who is half-human, half-Eldritch, and all attitude. She is part of both clans, but belongs to neither. Bearing the sword of vengeance, Lady Death roams the medieval realms protecting the very people who fear her. In this issue, Lady Death and Wolf (on the run from Arch bishop Vittorio and his warrior knights) take refuge in a remote mountain villa. They try to rest, only to be attacked by Skold of the assassin's guild: a clan of warriors immune to magic. At the worst possible time, Lady Death's powers fail her — causing someone close to her to die! Who is behind this attack? And why?

NORTON THE PLOT: THE SECRET STORY OF "THE PROTOCOLS OF THE ELDERS OF ZION" by Will Eisner The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is a book written one hundred years ago. It has been represented over the decades as a blue print for Jewish world domination. In truth, though, it has long been exposed as an utter fraud, and one of the most successful anti- Semitic myths in history. Eisner takes on the whole history of the wretched book and once again pushes the medium for all its worth. The result is a compelling page turner of a graphic novel, one destined to win awards and accolades inside the comics field, the general book trade, and elsewhere.

While her stepmother sends her daughters off to learn trades which will assure their futures, Sophie must stay behind to work at her father's hat shop. When her two stepsisters switch places and trades, Sophie learns of their trickery and crosses paths with an evil sorceress... who casts a spell on Sophie that turns her into an old woman and prevents her from telling anyone about it. Forced to leave the hat shop, Sophie goes to find some way of breaking the curse and ends up taking refuge at the Moving Castle of Howl, a strange wizard with a reputation for chasing pretty girls. The castle is powered by Calcifer, a fire demon who lives in the hearth and is bound by a contract with Howl.
