featuring FRANK MILLER, PAUL CHADWICK, JASON PEARSON, STAN SAKAI, C. SCOTT MORSE, BRIAN RALPH, & DYLAN HORROCKS cover art by FRANK MILLER & LYNN VARLEY
Introducing the best anthology you will read in the year 2000. Editor Diana Schutz has cherry-picked great stories from some of the best Maverick creators, brought a few newcomers to the table, and delivered a plate you can't put down. If the cover and story from Frank Miller aren't enough to satisfy your palate, how about a long-awaited new Body Bags story from Jason Pearson, or a short piece from Stan Sakai (Usagi Yojimbo) about a trip abroad with Sergio Aragones? Another serving of Paul Chadwick's Concrete? Coming right up. A steaming side of "Deep-Dig" by Brian Ralph (Cave-In) accents the spices of Scott (Soulwind) Morse's Ancient Joe ? and to top it off, we're serving a little something from Dylan Horrocks (Hicksville) for dessert. Bon appetit! (Maverick title) BE ADVISED: SOME TASTEFUL NUDITY AND SOME NASTY LANGUAGE!

This year's Dark Horse Maverick anthology is an amazing collection of stories by the hottest up-and-coming talent along with the industry's giants. The artists' mission was deceptively simple: in one way or another, each tale had to work with the theme of happy endings -- literally or otherwise. Regardless of the approach, every creator involved poured heart and soul into the work, and the results are astounding: from Gilbert Austin's Depression-era hucksters "Barley and Diggs," to Brian Michael Bendis's autobiographical convention tale "Only In..." to Mike Mignola's fractured fable of "The Magician and the Snake," the stories are as varied as the creators themselves! Best of all, the book itself is even bigger and badder than before. Coming in at a hefty 96 pages and packaged in the compact 6"x9" format, Happy Endings continues a solid annual tradition!
Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 96 pages, B&W. Cover price $9.95.
