Hell on Earth, alternately known as DC Science Fiction Graphic Novel #1. Published in 1985, it’s based on Psycho author Robert Bloch’s short story of the same name, which originally appeared in the May 1942 issue of the pulp magazine Weird Tales. It was adapted by writer-artist Keith Giffen (Ambush Bug) and writer Robert Loren Fleming (Thriller).
Criminal: The Knives is the first new Criminal story from writer Ed Brubaker and artist Sean Phillips in five years, and it will make fans of the series forget about the time away as it dives back into the worlds of characters we’ve met previously: cartoonist Jacob Kurtz, Angie from the Undertow bar, and Tracy Lawless, home from the special forces.
With accomplices John Paul Leon and Doug Braithwaite, Alex Ross (covers and story) and Jim Krueger (story and script) unleashed the Earth X version of the Marvel universe in a three incredible miniseries beginning with 1999’s Earth X, continuing into Universe X and concluding with Paradise X. The three longform stories have stood the test of time and are available in two omnibus editions.
The incredible storytelling present in Geiger since the beginning (even in the pre-Ghost Machine issues) continues in this issue with guest artist Eduardo Pansica and inker Norm Rapmund filling in, at least on the first 18 pages, for artist and co-creator Gary Frank, who rejoins the series in this issue’s epilogue
