Garth Ennis’ STREETS OF GLORY Preview
US $1.99
Cover: Mike Wolfer
Writer: Garth Ennis
Art: Mike Wolfer
Readership: MR
Format: Full Color, 16 pages

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Ennis brings back the Western this Fall at Avatar! This special preview book gives you several pages of the first issue to read, special designs by Mike Wolfer, and a new essay from Garth Ennis himself on why he wanted to write a Western. Garth Ennis is ready to re-define the classic genre of the Western with this brutal tale of 1899. Joe Dunn is one of the last bastions of the old guard drifters, those men that could be trusted to defend the common man with integrity, honor, and if need be, hot steel of death. Dunn has been away from Montana for more than 15 years, lost to all who knew him. Now he comes riding into a small town, Dunn still representing the best of the past, an era quickly fading. The way things are done is changing, the future is coming. The bodies will start to pile up while the streets run red with glorious blood. Ennis teams with Mike Wolfer (Escape of the Living Dead) for this epic full color series that promises to thrill every fan of Garth’s powerful story-telling and brutal violence.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: The next major zombie epic continues here at a special price of just $2.50! With their loved ones fighting an impossible battle against a horde of blood-thirsty zombies, a trio of soldiers realizes that their only hope of returning home alive is to escape incarceration and run for their lives! Recently returned from the war in Vietnam, the soldiers have been locked away on an Army base, under psychiatric evaluation. The true reason for their detainment is the story that they have to tell, of flesh-eating US Army rangers and the reanimation of those rangers’ victims… A tale with global political ramifications that must never be revealed. But even if they escape their military captors and return to Stone Mountain, will there be anything left of their families and home town, currently in the death-grip of the PLAGUE OF THE LIVING DEAD? Following hot on the heels of John Russo’s shocking PLAGUE OF THE LIVING DEAD SPECIAL, this blockbuster, 6-issue mini-series begins where the SPECIAL ended, only now you’ll get your dose of Avatar zombie mayhem in this 6 issue monthly series.
