These are the strangest of times. An innocent called Elwyna is to be burned as a witch. Sir Hugh de Grey must save his son from the nightmarish Dance of Death. Aaron of Albi seeks plague toxin from the bubo of a corpse. In part three of The Pale Knight, there is madness and poison in the air. And in the hearts and minds of men.

One-time Entertainment Weekly's "Man of the Year," Peter Milligan was at the forefront of the revolution in comics which were created for a more sophisticated, adult audience. Shade the Changing Man for Vertigo offered a skewered look at American culture, while Enigma, Face and Rogan Gosh pushed the boundaries of what comic books could do. The hugely-popular X-Statix was a radical reworking of the X-Man paradigm, described by Kevin Smith (CLERKS) as "the most well-observed scholarly analysis of media-manipulation filtered through a pop-culture lens ever committed to the page." Milligan is currently working on other film, comic and non-comic book projects. Dave Sharpe is an artist and currently a letterer for various featured comic publishing companies within the industry. He graduated from the Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art, Inc. in 1990, and immediately went to work at Marvel. As of 2009, Dave has been lettering for DC Comics on a number of titles currently: Green Lantern, Green Lantern War Journal, and ACTION COMICS! Dave also letters LOTS of other books and titles for various publishers. Dave plays bass guitar and is way more approachable than he looks.
