New Comic Trade Releases
If you missed out on the individual releases of Clive Barker Comics, The Great and Secret Show and/or Clive Barker’s Next Testament, they are both scheduled for Trade re-released by their respective companies.
The Great And Secret Show will be available August, 2019 by IDW Publishing. This is one of my favorite comic adaptations of a Clive Barker novel, and it’s not to be missed. The only bad thing about this series is that they didn’t continue on into Everville. No price announced yet.
Clive Barker’s sprawling epic begins inside a Nebraska dead letter office, where Randolph Jaffe’s quest to possess the Art sets into motion a battle between the forces of light and dark. This lushly illustrated tale is equal parts horror, fantasy, and love by one of the masters of the genre. Also included is the horrific standalone tale, “Seduth,” as well as annotations by writer Chris Ryall and artist Gabriel Rodriguez.

Will you be picking these up? I love trade editions like these, and would definitely get them if I didn’t have these comics already.
