This October, John Carpenter brings one of his most original nightmares back to the big screen with a remake of The Fog, starring Smallville''s Superboy Tom Welling. Carpenter and director Rupert Wainwright (Stigmata) team with Dark Horse to flesh out the story of doomed travelers and the supernatural devastation of a small coastal town. Scott Allie, writer of The Devil''s Footprints and Star Wars: Empire worked with award-winning writer Kurt Busiek (Conan, Astro City) and the director to craft a bizarre story about a Chinese curse and a town plunged into a walking-dead nightmare. A group of Shanghai traders have come to America hoping to escape a string of weird deaths at the teeth and claws of unseen monsters. The arrival of a strange yet familiar fog reveals that the curse has found them, but even they don''t know what that has to do with a pyromaniac refugee from the Civil War, the disappearance of one of their sons, or the terrible change coming over the Americans in this small seaside town.

One of the great mysteries of the Hellboy world is revealed as Abe uncovers his connections to the monsters threatening to end the world. When monsters began to tear down civilization, suspicion fell on Abe Sapien, who resembled the frogmen plaguing mankind. The two volumes of Dark and Terrible tell the complete story of Abe''s quest to prove his innocence as he went AWOL from the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense. At first he ran from the truth, but as this volume picks up he''s ready to face facts about his origins and his purpose in the world--revealed in classically oblique Mignola style--all while being pursued by a mad necromancer who feels betrayed by the Devil and is eager to use Abe to gain new power amongst the creatures that have created a Hell on Earth.

The first volume of the Abe Sapien: Dark and Terrible saga follows an AWOL Abe after his departure from the B.P.R.D. in the early chapters of Hell on Earth. On the run at the end of the world, Abe seeks the truth about his own connection to the plague of monsters threatening to wipe out mankind. But is Abe’s real goal to uncover the truth, or to run from it? Also seeking answers is a necromancer whose deal with the Devil was forfeited when Hell collapsed in Hellboy in Hell. Could Abe Sapien hold the key to the sorcerer’s attempt to make a contract with the masters of the impending apocalypse? Collected in paperback for the first time, revisit Abe Sapien’s adventures above and below the waves with stories brought to life by the sublime art of Max and Sebastián Fiumara.
