Once again we start off the week with a cool and creepy Alan Moore’s The Courtyard cover from Jacen Burrows and Nimbus Studios. This piece is from the hardcover edition of that volume. December will mark the release of the eagerly-anticipated Courtyard TPB, and much more — we have also put together a very special Alan Moore’s The Courtyard Companion which features Moore’s original short story, copious annotations from noted Lovecraft scholar NG Christakos, essay and script from Antony Johnston, new illustrations from Jacen Burrows, and more.
Alan Moore’s The Courtyard and Courtyard Companion will be available separately as softcover TPB’s and also together as a deluxe hardcover set which also includes a new art print by Burrows and all packaged in an illustrated sleeve. Check out more details on all of these offerings below.
