Most people would take a break after an ordeal like that, but Rishe is not most people! So when they return to the castle and Arnold offers her any gift she'd like, it's not jewelry or trinkets she asks for, but a duel! Later on, another ghost from Rishe's past arrives in Galkhein.

However, Rishe can't shake the feeling there's more to his visit than meets the eye.

(W/A) Alberto Breccia
In this wordless, full-color collection of satiric short comics stories, Alberto Breccia chronicles the waning days of the most famous vampire of them all. Literally defanged, the protagonist's glory days are long behind him and corrupt Government officials are now draining the life out of the population far more than one creature of the night ever could. This, Fantagraphics' first entry in the Alberto Breccia Library, also includes a sketchbook showing the artist's process.
Tom Horacek's characters possess the hydrocephalic proportions of Playmobil people, but they've traded the colorful plastic environs of childhood for a bleaker, twisted landscape where insanity, loneliness and death are fodder for laughs. Heard from their pinhole mouths and seen in their beady eyes is fear, desperation, resignation, and pure misanthropy, all presented across a single-panel canvas. Join in the fun with this first collection of Horacek's bitingly bitter gag cartoons, All We Ever Do Is Talk About Wood.
