Sin manifests into bloodlust in this graphic novel adaptation of Andrzej Sapkowski’s original short story. Geralt pursues a proclamation from a king of a bloodthirsty monster plaguing his palace. A hefty reward is offered to cure the beast, but not to kill it, for the king holds a secret—what lies beneath the palace is beyond the spawn of evil. Tried and failed by charlatans, Geralt sets out to claim the bounty—by decree of the king or by the pleas of those who wish the creature dead. This graphic novel is the fourth in a series of adaptations from Sapkowski’s acclaimed short story collection The Last Wish !

Chicago in the 1990s—a city of crime that means good business for two young women: bounty hunter partners Rally and Minnie-May, the Gunsmith Cats! Fans will love this crime manga classic from the ‘90s from the character designer of Bubblegum Crisis , printed in an over-sized format and high-quality paper. Rally Vincent runs Gunsmith Cats—a gun shop in Illinois with her partner, demolitions expert and former call girl Minnie-May Hopkins. But Rally’s “real” job doesn’t pay the bills, her hobby does. And her hobby is bounty hunting, bringing the most wanted men and women in the Chicago area to justice—dressed in her sharp suit and tie, and driving her Shelby Cobra GT 500! In Gunsmith Cats Omnibus vol. 3, custody battles can get nasty—but rarely as nasty as the situation Rally and Minnie-May are caught up in. Michael Stone, the famed hypnotist and stage magician known professionally as “Mister Smart” has jumped bail on a hit-and-run, which made him Rally’s business…and then kidnapping gets added to the rap sheet, as Smart is set up by his estranged wife on a false charge of abducting his own daughter, Jeena. But this is much more than just a family dispute, as behind the personal drama is a scheme to use Smart’s skills to rip off $20 million in Mob money…with Jeena’s life as penalty if he doesn’t pull off the trick! Then, Rally’s trouble-prone pal, master thief Misty Brown, gets into more trouble than ever when she decides to steal Bean “Roadbuster” Bandit’s beloved car Buff on a whim. Not only is Bean a tad upset, but Misty is now in terrible danger, and not necessarily from the Roadbuster—because certain ruthless people want to lay hands on the cargo he was transporting. Sure, it was only blank sheets of paper, but there’s thousands of them…and it seems they’re the exact same special kind used by the US Mint! For mature audiences. “…[Sonoda’s] work on series such as Bubblegum Crisis and Gall Force helped define the look of 1980s anime. His first major manga, Gunsmith Cats, proved that Sonoda is a talented writer as well. (3 ½ stars out of 4)”—Jason Thompson, Manga: The Complete Guide “Muscled thugs stalking mean streets, fast cars, pretty girls, and enough munitions to equip a personal army… Gunsmith Cats is a superb series worthy of just about anyone’s collection.” — A.V. Club “A classic girls with guns manga.” — Library Journal

From the modern horror master Gou Tanabe, comes the manga adaptation of H.P Lovecraft's The Shadow Out of Time . First published in 1936 in the legendary pulp magazine Astounding Stories , this is the complete story in one volume with tip-in title page in metallic gold ink and eight pages in color! Professor Peaslee of Miskatonic University has been acting very strange—could he be out of his mind? No…his mind is out of him ! Just because one lives in Arkham—just because one teaches there at Miskatonic University—it doesn’t mean one has any interest in the occult—in the abnormal. That was always the view of Nathaniel Wingate Peaslee, a respectable professor of political economy. Until that one Thursday in 1908, when Professor Peaslee suddenly began to see in front of him not his students in their lecture hall, but strange shapes inhabiting a grotesque chamber. He collapsed unconscious, and when he awoke, he was strange…very strange. Seemingly unable to recall his identity, the mind inside the body of Nathaniel Peaslee was oddly uninterested in the person he had been. The psychologists were baffled as he sought not to recover his old memory, but to obsessively study the world around him, travelling to distant lands, reading occult books, disturbing others with his odd perspectives on time and existence. He alienated and frightened people—his friends, his wife, even most of his children, except for his youngest son, who believed that one day Nathaniel Peaslee would come back. And then, in 1913, Professor Peaslee did come back, with no memory of his strange sabbatical, but deeply disturbed by the dreams and visions it left him with. His search for the past five years gone missing from his life will lead Peaslee to other cases of lost identity resembling his…and eventually to an ancient city in the Australian desert—from where a long-vanished race still casts their shadow out of time.
