Manga Darkchylde features a new mythology, new look, and a new attitude, in a brand new, ALL AGES re-interpretation of an enduring fan favorite!
The Sinister Sisters of Shadow have come to Salem, Georgia to seek an audience with Ariel Chylde, a young girl who just discovered she can assume the form and abilities of the creatures from her many nightmares! Poor Ariel only wants to use her curse for good, but the creepy Sisters seem to have something else in mind...
Creator Randy Queen first launched Darkchylde in 1996, a tale about the haunted teen with a kind heart, and a cursed ability. With its beautiful art and captivating story, it quickly became one the hottest books in America, out sold the X-men and Spider-man in European markets, and spawned a line of best selling toys, trading cards, statues, lithographs, and apparel!

Now Randy returns to comics to write, draw, and re-imagine for a new generation, the character that made him famous! Featuring his most compelling story, and gorgeous art to date, this special 32-page first issue: “Shadowmaker” Part I is sure to be embraced by Darkchylde’s worldwide fans.
“It'll be great to be in shops again,” says Randy, “and this will be one of the most visually arresting, high spirited, and entertaining reads of 2005! All-ages doesn’t mean solely for kids, because we’ve got something for everyone! The heart and sentiment of Iron Giant, the dark and profound themes seen in Lion King, married with the sheer exhilaration, verve and sophistication of The Incredibles. All with an edge, and energy that’s uniquely Darkchylde! If you’re a fan of sequential storytelling, you’re in for a treat.”

Darkchylde: Shadowmaker Part I arrives in stores February 2, 2005 with a retail price of $2.99.
