SINOPSIS
Cada año, el circo viene a la ciudad. Sin embargo, "The Black Top" no se parece a ningún circo que hayas visto antes: sus artistas alguna vez estuvieron muertos. Han sido resucitados por su temible maestro de ceremonias, Azlon, quien ordena que cumplan sus órdenes. Entre ellos, Barnaby James, un joven sepulturero, solicita que Azlon resucite al amor de su (anterior) vida, Delilah. Una y otra vez, sus súplicas son rechazadas. Frustrado, Barnaby decide robar la varita mágica de Azlon y traer de vuelta al mismísimo Delilah. En su viaje desesperado para encontrarla, Barnaby debe vencer a asesinos, caníbales y traficantes de esclavos sexuales, sin mencionar toda la furia de Azlon, o podría encontrarse muerto... otra vez.
Phillip Kobylanski, presidente de Valhalla Entertainment de Gale Anne Hurd ("The Walking Dead", The Youtube Effect), dirigió el desarrollo de la novela con T-Pub. Valhalla también se asoció con Dark Horse en una adaptación de la novela que llevará la historia a la pantalla.
“The Many Deaths of Barnaby James es una emocionante historia de amor e inocencia perdida que responde a la pregunta: ¿Cuáles son los cuentos de hadas que los monstruos se cuentan en las noches de insomnio? Es exactamente el tipo de narración conmovedora y subversiva que crecí amando en los cómics de terror”, declaró Gale Anne Hurd.
The Many Deaths of Barnaby James TPB (136 páginas, 6.625 x 10.1875”) llega a las librerías el 12 de diciembre de 2023 y a las tiendas de cómics el 13 de diciembre de 2023.

What would you do to bring your love back from the dead? | |
MILWAUKIE, Ore., (May 4, 2023)—Dark Horse Books presents The Many Deaths of Barnaby James, the first graphic novel to be published from a new partnership with T-Pub. The gothic fantasy was written by Brian Nathanson and Neil Gibson (Twisted Dark), illustrated by Piotr Kowalski (Where Monsters Lie, All Eight Eyes), colored by Brad Simpson (All Eight Eyes), and lettered and designed by Saida Temofonte.
Every year, the circus comes to town. However, "The Black Top" isn't like any circus you've seen before—its performers were once dead. They’ve been resurrected by their fearsome ringmaster, Azlon, who commands that they do his bidding. Among them, Barnaby James, a young gravedigger, requests that Azlon resurrect the love of his (former) life, Delilah. Time and time again, his pleas are rejected. Frustrated, Barnaby decides to steal Azlon’s magic wand and bring back Delilah himself. On his desperate journey to find her, Barnaby must overcome murderers, cannibals and sex slavers--not to mention the full fury of Azlon--or he might just find himself dead… again.
Phillip Kobylanski, President of Gale Anne Hurd’s Valhalla Entertainment (“The Walking Dead,” The Youtube Effect), shepherded the development of the novel with T-Pub. Valhalla has also partnered with Dark Horse on an adaptation of the novel that will bring the story to the screen.
“The Many Deaths of Barnaby James is a thrilling tale of love and innocence lost that answers the question: What are the fairy tales that monsters tell each other on sleepless nights? It’s exactly the type of soulful and subversive storytelling that I grew up loving in horror comic books,” stated Gale Anne Hurd.
The Many Deaths of Barnaby James TPB (136 pages, 6.625 x 10.1875”) arrives in bookstores December 12, 2023 and into comic shops December 13, 2023. It is now available to pre-order for $24.99 at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and your local comic shop and indie bookstore.
