Richard Corben’s fantasy masterpiece, inspired by Beauty and the Beast and long out-of-print, is finally collected as part of the new Richard Corben Library from Dark Horse. All are matching hardcovers in jacket with metallic foil covers.

A trilogy of werewolf stories, Rowlf mixes high fantasy with dystopian science fiction. It is the first masterpiece in Corben’s long career. Also here: The Beast of Wolfton and its sequel The Spirit of the Beast, ironic love stories of a werewolf family.

The book closes with a poignant free adaptation of one of the Japanese legends by Lafcadio Hearn called The Story of Oteg. All packaged in a beautiful new printing with meticulously restored artwork and featuring a new introduction by Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away).

Plus page after page of previously unpublished even earlier work! Also here are early underground comix covers, rare and superlative covers for the semi-pro fanzine Voice of Comicdom which is where some of Corben’s earliest work first appeared, plus more bonus features.

Afterword by Jose Villarrubia. And a long testimonial on the backcover by none other than Guillermo del Toro, who is a huge Corben fan! Well known for his legendary fantasy underground masterpieces published by Fantagor Press as well as Heavy Metal, Richard Corben’s work has been recognized internationally, having been awarded one of the most prestigious recognitions in comics literature the Grand Prix at Angouleme as well having been inducted into the Will Eisner Award Hall of Fame.
