Here's the Dark Horse hype up:
––––
Dimwood is the next book in a series of deluxe graphic novels from renowned creator Richard Corben’s library to be published by Dark Horse Comics. This special edition collects the never before published graphic novel Dimwood, and also features bonus material, restorations from long-time Corben collaborator Jose Villarrubia, letters by Nate Piekos of Blambot, and an introduction by Joe R. Lansdale all presented in a gorgeous hardcover with a dust jacket.
In the densely vegetated forest of Dimwood, a young woman returns to her family home after many years’ absence. Xera has gaping holes in her memories of her childhood and family, as obscured and dim as the surrounding forest. In Dimwood Mansion, with its decaying, labyrinthine levels she seeks the missing pieces of her past and makes connections with mysterious disappearances and gruesome murders in this original gothic tale, Corben’s final graphic novel.
