Image Comics and Desperado Publishing are proud to reunite the creative team from the popular series Abadazad in this new original fantasy story destined to become a classic for all ages! Last night, when Cody DiMarco went to bed, life was the same as it's always been. This morning, when he woke up, the world he knew...was gone. A Magic older than Time. An ancient evil. And four children whose only chance to restore their families, and their world, is to solve the mystery of...The Stardust Kid.

			#1 Twelve year old Cody DiMaro's best friend is Paul Brightfield and Paul Brightfield isn’t human: He’s the last of The Old Ones, ancient elemental beings from The Time Before—when no man walked the Earth and magic was a given—and Cody is the only one in all the world who knows Paul’s secret. One October night, Paul vanishes...at the same moment that a massive cocoon burrows up out of the earth: Within the cocoon lies a hate-filled creature that will soon destroy Cody's life—and everyone he loves... all ages. Color, 32 pages, $3.50

			#2 Paul Brightfield has vanished...but he's left behind a book for Cody: no, not so much a book as a doorway into a deep magic that the boy can neither grasp nor understand. Meanwhile, the mysterious being that burst free of the cocoon has taken form as a Woman—moving into an old abandoned mansion. Soon, creatures from The Time Before begin sprouting in her midnight garden...but these are dark, twisted versions of these ancient beings—utterly corrupted by The Woman’s hate. For all ages. Color, 32 pages, $3.50

			#3 After a harrowing journey through an enchanted book, Cody, Alana, K.M. and Nathaniel emerge into a world where everyone and everything they've known is gone: Their families have vanished and their neighborhood has been transformed into a primeval forest of deep magic and deadly danger. With the Woman and her followers on their trail, the kids seek hope in the form of the mysterious Stardust Kid. But does he truly exist? And can he possibly help them? All ages, full color, 32 pages, $3.50
