Dark Horse FCBD Offerings to Include Kiernan's Alabaster!

Dark Horse has announced that Caitlín R. Kiernan’s highly anticipated new series, Alabaster: Wolves, will now be included in both of Dark Horse’s Free Comic Book Day books.

One of Dark Horse’s most-anticipated new series, Alabaster premiered in the company’s flagship anthology Dark Horse Presents #9 and is based on Kiernan’s fan-favorite Dancy Flammarion stories, a dark fantasy series centered around a teenage protagonist of striking appearance and hidden, terrible depths.

For nearly as long as she can remember, seventeen-year-old Dancy Flammarion has fought monsters, cutting a bloody swath through the demons and dark things of the world, aimed like a weapon by a merciless seraph more taskmaster than guardian. This special four-page story, told across Dark Horse’s two FCBD offerings, will give readers a compelling glimpse into Dancy’s world and the blurry line that separates her from the angels she serves—and the monsters she hunts.

Look for Alabaster: Shelter in the back of both Dark Horse’s Star Wars/Serenity and Buffy/The Guild FCBD comics on Saturday, May 5. Remember, you have to pick up both books to read the whole story!
