CBR can exclusively reveal Dark Horse Comics will reprint Richard Corben's Murky World and Den in deluxe hardcover editions.
Dark Horse announced a new, exclusive line reprinting Corben's material. The new editions come in deluxe hardcover format and include introductions by other legendary creators and never-before-seen content. "I'm so pleased and proud to share Corben's art and stories with the world,” said Dona Corben, Richard's widow. “It means so much to me to make his early works available in print again; and, I'm excited to share his new story that he poured all of his imagination and artistic vision into. I'm incredibly proud of him as an artist and a person, and touched that his work means so much to so many."
Murky World HC will be available at comic book stores on April 26, 2023, and in bookstores on May 9, 2023. Currently available for pre-order at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and comic shops for $39.99, the book collects all of Murky World together for the first time. "In Murky World, Tugat the warrior wakes from a strange dream to find himself in a bizarre land populated by hungry deadlings, cruel necromancers, buxom cyclops, evil cults, and more as he sets off on a dangerous journey with his beloved horse Frix. This special edition also includes an introduction by Hellboy creator Mike Mignola, Corben’s Dark Horse Presents one-shot, and never-before-seen bonus material," Dark Horse said of the book.
Den: Neverwhere comes just in time for the title's 50th anniversary. The book will be available in comic book shops on July 26, 2023, and in bookstores on Aug. 8, 2023. "Thrust into a bizarre fantasy world called Neverwhere, the muscular adventurer Den goes on an exotic adventure through ancient ruins meeting an evil queen, her sacrificial doppelganger, bizarre lizard men, giant insects, and more strange and dangerous madness in this legendary saga brimming with horror, magic, and violence," Dark Horse said. José Villarrubia will restore the art and write the forward for Den: Neverwhere, while Nate Piekos of Blambot will do the re-lettering. The book will also include an introduction by actor and comedian Patton Oswalt.
“Growing up Richard Corben was my idol and years later I was fortunate to be his collaborator and eventually to consider him a friend," Villarrubia said. "He was the most innovative comics creator of the 20th century, distinguished by his virtuosity in using mixed media. His color was without paragon and continues to surprise me. Studying his work has been and is a lifelong passion."
