      Píše se rok 1961. Je to období přechodu mezi padesátými léty – dekádou Ikea, mccarthismu či Jacka Kerouaca – a úsvitem sexuální revoluce, války ve Vietnamu i ód hippies na LSD. Stejně jako celá Amerika i Gotham se třásl nedočkavostí při pomyšlení na slibované světlé zítřky... Temnotu... číst celé

      Doc Horror i spółka wracają do Pacific City, lecz nie dane jest im zaznać spokoju. Ulicami miasta, w poszukiwaniu ofiar, wędrują żywe trupy. Czy ma to jakiś związek z tajemniczą starożytną jaskinią, którą bada Doc? Jakie sekrety kryją za sobą masywne wrota znajdujące się pod warstwą litej skały? Nocturnals to gwarancja fantastycznego klimatu i genialnych rysunków. Charakterystyczna pulpowa stylistyka miesza się tym razem z silnymi inspiracjami prozą Lovecrafta. W drugim tomie, oprócz zamkniętych historii o kryjących się w mrokach nocy obrońcach porządku, dostajemy całą masę grafik, projektów, szkiców i niezrealizowanych scenariuszy. Istna gratka dla każdego fana okołogotyckich klimatów. Dla fanów: The Goon, Wednesday, Hellboy, Nightbreed, Amerykańscy bogowie

      Nocturnals to seria łącząca elementy dark fantasy, horroru i komiksu suprerbohaterskiego. Fabuła komiksu obraca się wokół grupy nadnaturalnych istot, które chronią świat przed niewyobrażalnymi, nadnaturalnymi zagrożeniami. Pierwsze, co rzuca się w oczy to niesamowite rysunki. Wystarczy otworzyć na przypadkowej stronie, żeby stwierdzić, że Dan Brereton, autor Nocturnals, to niekwestionowany arcymistrz współczesnego komiksu. Już sama warstwa graficzna sprawia, że obok komiksu nie da się przejść obojętnie. A wystarczy zacząć czytać, żeby przekonać się, że scenariusz w niczym nie ustępuje rysunkom.

      It all begins with a generation of artists who view their life's work as dismal failures and a waste of that life...in service to a medium that refuses to die, grinding its way through generation after generation...until it collides with creatives who can't even begin to imagine why anyone would ever want to do anything else. This is the history of comic books, alongside the misbegotten midwife whose growth, whose refusal to truly grow, serves as its decades-long and distorted mirror... Fandom. Collects HEY KIDS! COMICS!
