Italy, 1943. British sergeant Jim Masters and his section face brutal opposition from the German army.

In 1970, Lieutenant Tim Wilson is haunted by the memories of war – not just the bloodshed of the battlefield, but the horrors witnessed at the hand of Captain Constanta, who rescued him after a gruesome encounter with the King-Bats of Maximilian Von Klorr – the Black Max himself! Years later, Lt. Wilson sets out on a journey to hunt down Constanta in his native Romania, and uncovers his origins among beasts and creatures of magic.
Collecting the work of Ian Edginton and Tiernen Trevallion, the second omnibus of Fiends of the Eastern Front follows Constanta’s bloody trail across history, and brings monstrous terror from the skies of wartime France to the streets of 1960s London.

New from Papercutz is an excellent-looking original graphic novel - Heebie Jeebies sees two bumbling losers seek a cursed treasure buried beneath their middle school, only to discover one problem: It's haunted by those who tried... and died in their attempt to get the treasure for themselves!
"AT AMBERLINE MIDDLE SCHOOL, THERE’S MORE THAN ONE THING THAT GOES BUMP IN THE NIGHT…
Blue and their best friend Herschel are definitely not the coolest kids around, but when a group of popular bullies tell our main characters that their problems can be solved by finding the treasure buried beneath the school… well, Blue, Herschel and one annoyed night janitor have to investigate their school after dark!
“I am so excited and so proud that Heebie Jeebies is getting announced and will soon be taking over the world of graphic novels for kids.” Creator Matthew Erman shares, “This is the kind of book and the kind of story I absolutely loved as a kid and couldn’t get enough of — it’s funny, sweet, scary and has a plethora of weird and goofy moments that’ll hopefully make readers scream with delight. Working with Shelby is always a privilege and getting to create this story with them was incredible. I also want to say that working with Stephanie Brooks and my personal editor Maria Patrick was a career highlight — Stephanie is one of the most thoughtful, intelligent and compassionate editors I’ve ever worked with and one who I’d love to work with again and without Maria, I don’t know if I ever could have put myself in the right mindset to properly write for children.
“This is the first book I’ve made that I’ll get to give to my son and that really is magical to me. Writing for kids was never something I expected to do, or to love, but when you get into the mindset and really understand the kind of impact you can have on little ones, it honestly makes me tear up. Heebie Jeebies was inspired by my time working as a night janitor at a Montessori school — I was down on my luck and looking for anything to give my life the nudge in the right direction it needed. Dreaming of a hidden treasure underneath the school kept me going and cleaning, in the hopes that I’d discover a magical fix-it to all my problems. And while there weren’t riches beyond imagination, I did find my imagination and this story blossomed from that experience. In the end the magic treasure I eventually found was not the one I was looking for, but the one I needed and now after all these years, I get to share the treasure I found with everyone.”
Illustrator Shelby Criswell added, “As a person who is big on spooky time, I'm howling at the moon about Heebie Jeebies! I never believed in ghosts before, but this graphic novel has me convinced there are some spooky characters lurking around every corner. This book was such a blast to create and I cannot wait for every kid to have it in their hands.”
What nightmares guard the treasure? The kind to give our heroes one bad case of the Heebie Jeebies!
HEEBIE JEEBIES [9781545811887; Ages 7-12] is out on September 17, 2024. It is available wherever books are sold, including Amazon, Bookshop, and Barnes & Noble.
"The Sarge" seems like the British equivalent of Sergeant Rock.
