New Releases by Dark Horse Deluxe

Dark Horse is proud to present an all-new journal from the monstrously talented illustrator Gris Grimly. Originally recognized for his dark, yet humorous, illustrations for young readers, his interpretive visions have now captured attention and recognition for his full resume of work.

This set of six Umbrella Academy figures evokes the characters exactly as they appear in the comic. The likeness is uncanny, with bold shadowing and strange angles, right down to the fur on Space Boy''s over-sized arms. We think you will be charmed by this set and love not only the figures, but the unique packaging they are placed in: An umbrella-topped dome looms over the siblings, in all their monochromatic glory.

Dilbert - the cartoon champion of the workplace - means business. Anybody who works in an office or deals with bureaucracy relates to Dilbert''s plight. Created by Scott Adams and first syndicated in 1989, Dilbert addresses issues ranging from office politics to new technology - and the mayhem they produce. Dilbert features a rich cast of characters, including his sidekick Dogbert, his inept Boss, and his co-workers Wally and Alice. Dark Horse Deluxe is proud to be named a licensee, and has depicted the whole gang in 3D. Capturing Adams'' style was a challenge, but we have not only nailed the look, but even have placed the characters in special packaging designed to resemble an office cubicle enviroment. Six of your favorite Dilbert characters in one big set!

Dark Horse is happy to celebrate the forthcoming motion picture of Will Eisner''s The Spirit, as directed by Frank Miller, with some very sophisticated, limited-edition pieces based on the characters as they appear in the film. Miller is infusing this classic property with a look and feel that is cutting-edge modern, while retaining the period look and feel of Eisner''s pages. Dark Horse has enlisted two of the finest digital sculptors around to create this first piece. Hot on the heels of their stunning statues of the characters taken from Batman, Kolby Jukes and Oluf Hartvigson have created this limited-edition bust. They have done a spectacular job, infusing the figures with realism, personality, and drama.

Fans have raved about Dark Horse''s Tim Burton Light-Up Journal for a while now. We have been waiting for just the right property to follow up with, and have found it with The Spirit. A moody silhouette of the hero stands against a snow-speckled night sky. When a small button is pressed, a sequence of LED lighting elements concealed in the cover illuminate various snowflakes.

Dark Horse is giving one of the comic-book medium''s most revered cast of characters the Syroco-style treatment in a new series of statuettes based on Disney''s Uncle Scrooge stories. The second offering in this limited edition line is Donald Duck! Limited to 950 numbered pieces, this statuette is packaged in a special litho-printed, full-color tin box with a vintage-style pin-back button and booklet.

Based on the revered illustrations of Yoshitaka Amano, this is the first in a line of upcoming Vampire Hunter D products. Featuring D, Doris, and Magnus, these are some of the finest representations of these characters ever crafted, each meticulously sculpted and painted by Tim Bruckner.

Dark Horse is proud to present this great new Zippo lighter design from artist Tara McPherson.

An emerging artist in the fine art and animation communities, she received a Bachelor of Arts from California State University in Long Beach. She has been included in group exhibitions in San Diego, Los Angeles, and San Francisco and had a sold-out group show in Portland earlier in 2002. A well-rounded artist, whether painting in oil or acrylic, figurative or illustration, Hong is quickly becoming one of the most revered artists in her field.
