Gray Morrow's Orion
Sold Out $ 39.99
In their long-standing mission to excavate rare comics treasures, Hermes Press is reprinting the entirety of legendary artist Gray Morrow's Orionfrom the pages of Heavy Metal magazine. Orion is Morrow's 1978 sword and sorcery masterpiece about an Errol Flynn-like swashbuckling hero who battles evil on a strange and mystical world. The project has been a mission of Hermes Press's Christopher Irving for a decade, starting from his friendship with Morrow's widow, Pocho Morrow.
"In doing an article on Gray after his untimely death in 2001, I got to become dear friends with Pocho," Irving says. "We've always talked about getting a tribute of Gray's best work printed, and when we came across original Orion artwork, publisher Dan Herman was the first person I called."
Most of Gray Morrow's Orion will be shot directly from Morrow's original hand-colored artwork, and reproduced in full color.
Gray Morrow burst into comics in the 1950s, bringing his classic Alex Raymond-inspired style on everything from paperback covers to newspaper strips. Morrow's work graced several issues of the Warren magazines, Classics Illustrated, and westerns for DC Comics (including El Diablo with writer Robert Kanigher). Morrow also served as editor of Archie Comics' short-lived Red Circle horror line in the '70s, which included art by his contemporaries such as Alex Toth and Angelo Torres. He died in 2001, after succumbing to Parkinson's and general failing health.
Gray Morrow's Orion will be published by mid-2012, with proceeds going to his wife Pocho Morrow. Accompanying Orion will be a biographical essay by Irving as well as more samples of Morrow's inimitable artwork and storytelling.

Sparrow and Crowe #1: The Demoniac of Los Angeles
$ 0.99 $ 3.99
Art by Jared Souza, Script by David Accampo and Jeremy Rogers
Hermes Press premieres one of the hottest new titles of 2012 with Sparrow and Crowe: The Demoniac of Los Angeles, the spin-off of the successful Wormwood audio drama podcast. The title offers everything: dark mystery, suspenseful plot twists, humor, and non-stop action.
Wormwood: A Serialized Mystery debuted in 2007 and ran for three seasons, following the supernatural adventures of Doctor Crowe, a washed-up exorcist haunted by his own demons, and his sardonic Goth girl partner Sparrow. The transition from audio to visual was sparked by artist Jared Souza, according to co-creators David Accampo and Jeremy Rogers: “We created Wormwood as an audio drama because we knew we could cut loose and tell a long-form, serialized story with a modest budget and a big imagination-not unlike what comics do best. I’m a lifelong comics fan, so when Jared Souza-as a listener of the show-contacted us and asked us about collaborating on a comic book adaptation, it seemed like a no-brainer,” says David Accampo.
“As soon as we looked at Jared’s first penciled pages, it was clear that transferring Wormwood into a visual format was going to be a fun new way to tell our devious horror-infused story. With years of intricate character and plot development already done, we began to think about the structure and pacing of comics. As a result, our approach suddenly evolved into something visually dynamic, and we discovered we could flex different muscles and create a scope would be simultaneously unique to print while still maintaining the essence of what had come before in our audio productions.”
“I wanted to bridge the gap between comics and audio drama, feeling the two art forms complimented each other nicely and felt like Wormwood would be the way to do it,” Jared Souza reflects. “In choosing to watercolor this story, I hope to convey the surreal paleness of the atmosphere in Los Angeles and to capture some of the feeling of 1970s cinema. Obviously, Sparrow and Crowe is set in the present, but I feel like the mood and cinematographic style of the ’70s is well suited to this type of horror/suspense.”
Sparrow and Crowe: The Demoniac of Los Angeles combines old-school horror with modern cinematic storytelling, as they face off against Crowe’s biggest failure and greatest enemy when a powerful demon possesses the daughter of a Los Angeles crimelord. It’s a catch-22 for the duo, as they’re stuck between both hell and the mob, with the girl’s life hanging in the balance.
Sparrow and Crowe #2: The Demoniac of Los Angeles
$ 0.99 $ 3.99
Art by Jared Souza, Script by David Accampo and Jeremy Rogers
The second book in a five book story arc, Sparrow and Crowe: The Demoniac of Los Angeles is one of the hottest new titles of 2012. Sparrow and Crowe, the spin-off of the successful Wormwood audio drama podcast, offers everything: dark mystery, suspenseful plot twists, humor, and non-stop action.
Issue #2 will open the curtain on the dark secret of the demon Adramelech, and the pain he has brought to Doctor Xander Crowe! Now the evil Assyrian spirit has returned to play another "game" with Crowe, and this time he has possessed the daughter of Los Angeles mob boss Don Marino. Caught between Hell and the mob, Crowe is forced to rely on Sparrow to find a special artifact known as the Ring of Solomon. But can Sparrow find the ring before Amanda Marino escapes her bonds and wreaks havoc at the Marino estate?
