Anthony Bourdain's Hungry Ghosts HC

Have you ever suffered through food poisoning? Then you know it's not a lot of fun. After all, you can die from food poisoning! But here's something that is fun, and it's chock full of food poisoning, just not in the way that'll make you sick. But it's enough to make you wince, and make you relieved that you're not the one on the short end of the stick. We're referring to Anthony Bourdain's Hungry Ghosts HC (MAY180324) which collects the four-issue mini-series about  a circle of chefs that gather to outscare each other with modern tales of fear and food from around the world. Look for it from Dark Horse Comics in the May PREVIEWS catalog!

Elvira Mistress of the Dark #1

Her long black reign as 'Queen of Halloween' has now spanned thirty-five years and includes two nationally syndicated television series, two feature films, an IMAX movie, and two motion control rides. To say that Elvira has left her footprint on pop culture is an understatement. Her name is now practically synonymous with Halloween parties. Don't believe us? Hit any Party City chain or costume store and see if they DON'T have her outfit among the other costumes. In Elvira Mistress of the Dark #1 (MAY181023) D.E. presents a four-issue mini-series that is a perfect tribute to the Queen, written by David Avallone and illustrated by Dave Acosta. Look for it in the Premier Comics section of the May PREVIEWS!

Zombie Tramp #50

Oh, yeah. For those who didn't pre-order issue #1 of Dan Mendoza's cult hit, they're now kicking themselves silly each and every day this book hits the comic shops. Now it reaches one of its pinnacle issues featuring an exclusive regular and risqué variant cover. Zombie Tramp #50 (MAY181291) shows you how horror comics can be sexy, too, post Elvira (or, in co-existence with Elvira). To show his appreciation to his fans, this #50 issue contains a cover gallery and more exclusive extras that are only available in this definitive collector's edition. So check it out in the Comics/Graphic Novels/Print section of the May PREVIEWS catalog today!

One-12 Collective: Evil Dead 2 — Ash Williams Action Figure

Hail to the King, baby. Proof that the department store nerd is never one to be trifled with, even if he'd never get the Elvis impersonator gig (despite his hours of practice in a bathroom mirror). The icon of Evil Dead mythos, and the star of Ash Vs. Evil Dead, Bruce Campbell is immortalized as Ash Williams as this collectible figure that boasts three head portraits, Campbell's likeness, his trademark chainsaw hand (groovy!), a sawed-off shotgun,  the Necronomicon (AKA: The Book of the Dead), Ash's severed demonic hand, and a decapitated Deadite head! This is Joe Everyman armed to the teeth, baby! Sit back, and watch him carve a path of death! You'll find the One-12 Collective: Evil Dead 2 — Ash Williams Action Figure (JAN188398) in the Toys/Statue/Models section of the May PREVIEWS catalog!
