Dark Horse Announces Monsters! & Other Stories

As part of its Originals line, Dark Horse has offered up some great and unique works. That trend is poised to continue with the release of Monsters! & Other Stories by Gustavo Duarte. The work promises to bring tons of humor, charm and horror in the creator's American graphic novel debut.

“It is a joy and an honor to have my first book published in the USA by Dark Horse,” said 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.”

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.

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. Full press release below.
