Moonstone March '05 releases

Title: Kolchak the Night Stalker: "Eve of Terror"

Story: Stephen Lord & Michael Kozoll
Adapted by: Joe Gentile
Pencils: Walter Figueroa
Inks: Chad Hunt
Colors: Tricia Hale
Cover: David Michael Beck

48pgs, COLOR, $5.95
Rated PG

Moonstone has done it again!  We have uncovered another Kolchak
TV script that was never produced!
Never before seen in any official form!
CARL KOLCHAK is hot on the story of a scientist who is
mysteriously, and quite violently, MURDERED. With his patented
skills as a world class snoop, he discovers that the laboratory,
and the shadowy figures that fund its experiments, have much to
hide. But when a seemingly unrelated murder takes place with
KOLCHAK as its only witness, there is no power on earth than can
stop our man from uncovering the horrible truths behind these
deaths.

Title: G.R.A.V.E. GRRRLS: "DESTROYERS OF THE DEAD" #1
by: Scott Licina & Ken Wolak; cover by Alex Ross
32pgs, color, mature themes, $3.50
printed at Lampost: California/Korea

Something is bringing the dead back to life with an insatiable
hunger for human flesh, and it's going to take three "enhanced"
female government ops to solve the mystery and put the dead back
to bed. But that only raises more questions- both to the zombie
plague and their own origins.

For fans of Dawn of the Dead and Chaos! Comics.
 Two painted covers- one by Ken Wolak and one by the legendary
Alex Ross! (50/50 split)

MOONSTONE MONSTERS: ZOMBIES

Written by Fred VanLente, C.J. Henderson, and Paul Storrie
Illustrated by Steve Ellis, Scott LeMien, Walter Figueroa and
Bill Williams
Cover by Ron Frenz, Pat Olliffe & Ken Wolak

More Zombie fun this month, as Moonstone brings you three all-new
tales of the risen dead! We'll start with "Voodoo Detective," by
the creative team that brought us "The Silencers..." where a New
Orleans stage singer is mysteriously murdered, and her brother
hires some rather unusual help to find the killer. The corporate
zombie tale "Crime and Authority" reminds us that all zombies
aren't necessarily dead. And while we're mentioning the corporate
world, we'll look behind the scenes at a Mushroom processing
company... and the dangers of unhappy employees landing a literal
"Dead End Job."

Title: "Jack Hagee, Private Eye"  TPB
Story: CJ Henderson
Art:  Doug Klauba, Tom Gianni, Richard Clark
Cover: Doug Klauba
96pgs, squarebound, b/w, $9.49

ISBN: 0-9748501-9-5
5.5" x 8.125"

Novelist and comics scribe CJ Henderson (Punisher, Batman)
returns to comics with his quintessential loner PI, Jack Hagee.
Now the hardboiled star of numerous short stories and novels has
his very own TPB!
Ex-military Intelligence, former police detective, and the last
honest man in New York City: Jack Hagee is bad news for the bad
guys.
Three ALL NEW tales of the mean streets around us today, plus the
previously published "The Little Voice Inside".
For fans of Chandler, Hammett, Ross MacDonald, Spillane, & Robert
B. Parker!  But most of all, for fans of JUSTICE!

"CJ Henderson('s Hagee)is the PI equivalent of the X-Men." ---

CRAVAN HC
MIKE RICHARDSON (W) and RICK GEARY (W/A)
On sale March 2, HC w/dust jacket, 72pg, b&w, 6" x 9", $14.95
This is a true story about the most interesting person you've
never heard of: Arthur Cravan, major figure in pre-WWI cutting-
edge art circles, was among the greatest mysterious figures of
the Twentieth Century. A self-confessed thief, forger, and con-
artist, he used a roster of assumed names and false identities.
He was known, at various times, as a novelist, poet, painter, art
critic, lecturer, publisher, and the lightweight boxing champion
of France. Always a rebellious, restless spirit, this dedicated
rule-breaker was a political radical whose friendship with Leon
Trotsky earned him the surveillance of the U.S. government-even
through his immigration to Mexico with his wife, the poet Mina
Loy. In 1918, at the age of thirty-one, the fascinating physical
giant vanished without a trace, and-despite several supposed
sightings over the years-was never seen again. Is it possible
that he became the mysterious, reclusive novelist B. Traven,
who wrote The Treasure of the Sierra Madre?
Rick Geary, best known for his acclaimed "Treasury of Victorian
Murder" series, richly illustrates this absorbing true story.

ANDREW COSBY (W) and J. ALEXANDER (A)

The United States' borders and ports are locked down against a
terrible threat. However, the barbed wire and infantries are not
positioned to keep an enemy out, but to protect the rest of the
world from a vampire plague that's spread over every inch of the
country.
Andrew Cosby, the creator of UPN's Haunted and the Sci-Fi network
original series Eureka, and producer of the film version of Matt
Wagner's Mage, teams with rising star and Eisner Award-nominee J.
Alexander (Queen and Country) for a vampire epic of global
proportions. Most of the living have fled the U.S., but a group
of scientists remain behind, working on a cure. Now that they've
succeeded, a military operation is launched from the President's
current offices in the U.S. Embassy in London, to save the cure
from the encroaching undead-but the real motivations of the
military remain in question.

Aaron knows he's not like most other fourteen-year-olds. Living
on the edge of San Francisco's Chinatown, he's never fit in with
any of his schoolmates. Despite the best efforts of his mother,

fit in anywhere. He's just never known why. But that's all about
to change, as Aaron is confronted with the truth of his heritage.
He is the Dragon Prince, heir to the bloodline of all dragons,
and the last hope for dragonkind's survival. Suddenly on the run
from merciless Dragon Hunters, Aaron must embark upon a quest
that will reveal the true fate of his father, and bring him face
to face with a secret cabal of wizards who have hunted dragons to
extinction ... and plan on finishing the job with Aaron himself!

Writer Ron Marz (Samurai: Heaven & Earth, Star Wars: Empire,
Green Lantern) and artist Jeff Johnson (Way of the Rat) combine
their talents for a modern fantasy unlike any other, featuring
majestic dragons, implacable warriors, and sinister magicians.

The cast includes Dig Ivan Dig, Sir Leo Lick-a-Lot, Not So Fluffy
Fiona, and Killer Kiwi Devil-Cat. Originally sold as plush toys
with amusing names and stories attached, the retail program has
expanded to include a line of children's books and various paper
products. We're excited to be a part of the madness that is
Naughty Naughty Pets.
