January 2026 (Black Coat Press) - FRENCH TALES OF THE YELLOW PERIL.  stories by Georges Fronval, Jules Lermina, Camille Mauclair & Jean Ray; translated by Brian Stableford, Stuart Gelzer & Michael Shreve; edited by J.-M. & Randy Lofficier; cover by René Brantonne. The myth of the yellow peril is one of the most despicable follies of the imaginative fiction of the 20th century. Despite this, the guilty realization that the global struggle between the European imperial powers, anxious to retain their monopoly on the rewards of colonization, and their once-Asian subjects, gave rise to a new subgenre, that of future world war stories.

February 2026 (Hexagon Comics USA) - WAMPUS #4: THE RETURN. stories by Jean-Marc Lofficier, Jean-Marc Lainé; art & cover by Luciano Bernasconi. 7x10 squarebound. 96 pages b&w. $14.95
With this special issue, we commemorate the 57th anniversary of Wampus, first published in France in March 1969. Our first story, The Pog of Montsegur, begins exactly where Strangers #13 ends, and continues with a “new” Wampus on the prowl in the South of France. This storyline continues in Death in Venice, which guest-stars the wondrous Sibilla. The Origins of Hunter, is a flashback to the events recounted in episode #3 of the original Wampus series and an origin to the heretofore mysterious character of Hunter, introduced in Strangers 2. Once Upon a time on Arena takes place a long time ago on the home planet of the Bronze Gladiator, now under attacked by Wampus. This issue also included a series of Wampus pin-ups by Steve Bissette (Swamp Thing, Taboo, Tyrant), Wampus’ co-creator, the legendary Luciano Bernasconi, and Mexican artist, Manuel Martin Peniche (Kabur, Strangers).

September 2024 (Black Coat Press) - THE ADVENTURES OF BEARCUB IRONSKULL by Gustave Aimard, translated by Jean-Marc & Randy Lofficier. 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.

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).
