The Complete Alice in Wonderland #2 out this week (with preview pages)

Posted By John Reppion on January 26th, 2010

Issue #2 of The Complete Alice in Wonderland (the concluding part of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland) arrives in shops this week.

The issue begins with the iconic Mad Tea-Party -

`Have some wine,’ the March Hare said in an encouraging tone.

Alice looked all round the table, but there was nothing on it but tea. `I don’t see any wine,’ she remarked.

`There isn’t any,’ said the March Hare.

`Then it wasn’t very civil of you to offer it,’ said Alice angrily.

`It wasn’t very civil of you to sit down without being invited,’ said the March Hare.

Posted By John Reppion on December 12th, 2009

AliceThe first 7 pages of The Compete Alice in Wonderland (arriving in shops next week) are online now at www.comicbookresources.com

“What is the use of a book,” thought Alice, “without pictures or conversations!”

Following up on the success of The Complete Dracula, and Sherlock Holmes, Dynamite presents The Complete Alice In Wonderland. For the first time ever Lewis Carroll’s classics, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass with “The Wasp in a Wig,” the “lost chapter” (from the Looking-Glass) are adapted into one complete tale. In this All Ages adaptation, writers John Reppion and Leah Moore are joined by Erica Awano for a 4 issue adventure down the rabbit hole!

This full color series features a massive 40 pages of story and art per issue, all under covers by John Cassaday, who supplies a unique die-cut design for the first issue that is sure to enthrall young and old. Moore and Reppion also provide bonus material such as script pages, annotations and samplings of the original text by Lewis Carroll.

The Complete Dracula #4 cover by John CassadayThe end is in sight!

The Complete Dracula #4 (of 5) arrives in shops across the USA and Canada today (UK and Europe tomorrow) with the final -  even bigger – issue following later this month.

#4 sees Mina at her most capable and Van Helsing at his most chauvinistic – not an ideal combination when you’re preparing to do battle with the Lord of the Undead himself.

The Trial of Sherlock Holmes #5 out this week (with preview pages)

Posted By John Reppion on October 5th, 2009

Holmes #5 cover by John CassadayAt last it’s here! The concluding issue of The Trial of Sherlock Holmes arrives in shops across the globe this week. It’s been an absolute pleasure working with Mr. Aaron Campbell on the series (the extra little bits he’s done for the collected edition are fantastic too) and we really  hope we’ll get to write for him again very soon. Maybe another Holmes story?

We’ve got a few preview pages to show you but, as always, they are a bit spoiler-ish so please don’t read unless you’re already up to date with the issues.

We can’t wait to hear what everyone thinks of the grand finale.

 

EDIT: Some great reviews coming in already. They are pretty spoilerific however so, again, please don’t read unless you’ve already read the issue.
