November 2024 (Black Coat Press) - FRENCH TALES OF VAMPIRES #2.  stories by Étienne-Léon de Lamothe-Langon, Paul Féval and Léon Gozlan, translated by Brian Stableford & edited by J.-M. & Randy Lofficier;  cover by Mike Hoffman. In this thematic collection (the second of three), we have gathered three remarkable stories by Etienne-Léon de Lamothe-Langon, Paul Féval and Leon Gozlan, published between 1825 and 1862, that encapsulate the basic archetypes of the Vampire myth, in both its erotic and thanatological forms. Meet the seductive Alinska, the Virgion Vampire from Hungary, the terrifying Vampire from the Val-de-Grâce, and the legendary and mercurial knighshades Jran and Ange Tenebre.  Is life after death a desirable dream or a loathsome abomination? And what price must be paid for it? Moral ambiguities abound in these stories which are but the mirror of our visions of the afterlife, and the embodiment of our choices.

September 2024 (Black Coat Press) - THE ADVENTURES OF BEARCUB IRONSKULL by Gustave Aimard, translated by Jean-Marc & Randy Lofficier, cover by Phil Cohen. 
Deeply rooted in popular culture, the world of piracy has given rise to many familiar characters. From Captain Hook to Long John Silver, Captain Nemo to Jack Sparrow, the adventures of pirates have graced the pages of many novels and seen a multitude of film and television adaptations. Now welcome into these hallowed ranks Bearcub Ironskull from Tortuga Island, bent on looting the wealthy port city of Cartagena and reclaiming his lost love, Doña Erminia. Initially published in France in 1868, this seminal French pirate novel, predating Treasure Island (1882) by fourteen years, has been reprinted many times and is considered a classic of the genre. Its author, Gustave Aimard, was, in his time, as successful and popular as Eugène Sue and Paul Féval. He wrote approximately seventy novels and is still remembered today for his western and pirate novels, translated into fifteen languages.

April 2024 (Hexagon Comics USA) - BEN LEONARD, LORD OF LIGHT #1. story & art by Guido Zamperoni, adapted by J.-M. & R. Lofficier. cover by Alfredo Macall.
Twenty-five year-old Ben Leonard, a journalist working for the newspaper The Globe, suddenly discovers that he is the reincarnation of the mythical Egyptian sun-god Râ, the Lord of Light and King of Heliopolis, a legendary “lost city” of mysterious Immortals, which once gave rise to the Ancient Egyptians’ pantheon. Murdered by his evil and jealous brother Set, Râ’s soul was hidden inside a mortal body for millennia by the powers of the wise Thô, to await the time for him to rise again. Having now recovered his true identity and powers, Ben’s awesome task is to defeat Set and free the Immortals of Heliopolis whom the villainous Set has turned to stone. His only allies in this tremendous battle are his two colleagues, journalists Pip and Lucy. Ben Leonard made his first appearance in 1971 in Kiwi magazine. It was the creation of Milanese artist Guido Zamperoni (1912-2003).
