Damn it! Stop tempting me! I don't have the money to spare on Baltimore! But it gets more and more alluring by the second. Glad Ben Stenbeck is back. Hope they retain him as artist for the whole Baltimore series.
Sigh... I just might buckle under the pressure if I don't stop hearing all these good things!

I can't wait for it! Looking forward to the storyline but honestly, I could just have that cover, framed, over my fireplace... It's just that awesome...

Yeah, wicked cover.
And getting the spotlight in next year's FCBD is also quite the treat.
Fortunate I'd say.
I find it great hearing mr Chistopher describe Lord Baltimore as being a vast thing. I mean I love Hellboy's world, into which Lobster Johnson, Sir Edward Grey and of course the BPRD provide extra perspectives.
But I can feel just as glad for totally new worlds to be discovered, like the strange story-book luster of the Amazing Curious Objects, or the intimidating wartales of battling bleakness and vampires and plague that will be Lord Baltimore The Steadfast.
Of all these especially Baltimore seems to provide such an elegant and daunting, yet very brutal insight, with a very classically cinematographical feel.
Really as if NOT all great war-fiction or true Vampire lore had been written yet.
Seeming rather a thing to be looking out for.Chillingly good stuff besides Mignola, Slint, M, Knut and really big chunks of tinfoil?Been called a 'good egg'. Been told to rock, been told to steady myself. Been told to (please) be goin' places.
Half sunk in the mud, with one eye showing / a cracked smile and hair still growing /
your hands miles apart, as if they'd never met / you were the happiest I'd seen you yet. ~ (full) lyrics to 'Exhume' by Bedhead.

I can't wait to see the Baltimore flip book on FCBD!
That cover really is a damn good one.
I like Mike Mignola's covers a lot but this one stands out as even stronger and more engaging than most for me. Quite often his covers feature the subject placed formally in the center of the composition with a very strong diagonal element running through the background. This one features the main subject placed solidly in the foreground of a very real landscape. The bridge and the old architecture are rendered beautifully. Having a giant spider descending menacingly form the skies doesn't exactly ruin my day either! As usual Dave Stewart really adds mood and elegance to the whole package. I love it!
Lord Baltimore is looking pretty rough.Recent Nature Sightings:
Sept 24: Two Orcas close to shore.
Nov 14: Trumpeter Swans, Bald Eagles catching salmon (and a duck!), Harbour Seals, Steller Sea Lions, Kingfisher.

Hi folks. Yeah, ain't it a gorgeous cover? That's actually the cover to the Baltimore side of Dark Horse's 2011 FCBD flipbook, a 14 page story called BALTIMORE: A PASSING STRANGER.
THE CURSE BELLS comes after that. We're working on it now, and after the relative calm of THE PLAGUE SHIPS...and now that THE PLAGUE SHIPS has provided Baltimore's background for those who weren't familiar with him...it's full steam ahead with the weirdness and evil.

I gotta say, it's really cool that Scott Allie, Guy Davis and Christopher Golden occasionally pop up on the forum, clear up any little misunderstandings, keep the fans informed and sometimes even drop little gems of info. Thanks you guys!

Yep, thanks for the info, mr Christopher. And big congrats on the becoming FCBD-material, which will have to mean Baltimore is considered to be a treat!
I can feel thrilled for that.Chillingly good stuff besides Mignola, Slint, M, Knut and really big chunks of tinfoil?Been called a 'good egg'. Been told to rock, been told to steady myself. Been told to (please) be goin' places.

I'm really glad there's another mini-series following so close on the heels of the Plague Ships. As someone who's read the illustrated novel, it's slightly disappointing that a decent portion of the first three issues is catching up new readers on the key plot points I'm already very familiar with (having read the book several times)
I'm not complainin' whatsoever, Mr. Golden, I'm just excited to travel to new places in this wonderful world all y'all have created. Also, why don't your vampires sparkle? (Kidding)

I love the "Our vampires don't sparkle!" Dark Horse ads. Originally Posted by Jackson Brody
