Volume 1 - 1st printing. "Birds, Bees, Blood, and Beer!" Collects Wormwood Gentleman Corpse (2006 IDW) #1-4 and Wormwood Gentleman Corpse The Taster (2006). Story and art by Ben Templesmith. Ben Templesmith (30 Days of Night, Fell) creates an all-eerie and humorous new series. Things are awakening in the city. Things that have a nasty habit of leaving mutilated bodies in their wake and it all reeks of demons and dark gods up to no good. Owing a favor to his lazy ghost cop buddy Trotsky, Wormwood, the gentleman corpse and his oddball entourage are brought in to investigate the case (or at least hopefully not stuff it up too much). This collection compiles the first miniseries, the original 'Taster' issue, and covers, sketches, pin-ups and other cocktail napkin scribblings from Templesmith. Softcover, full color. Cover price $19.99.

Volume 2 - 1st printing. "It Only Hurts When I Pee!" Collects Wormwood Gentleman Corpse (2006 IDW) #5-7 and a special one-shot. Story and art by Ben Templesmith. In the second collection of Eisner Award-nominated storyteller Ben Templesmith's Wormwood the tale of the Gentleman Corpse move beyond the simply bizarre (see Wormwood, Vol. 1) into the sublime lunacy of Lephrechaunia. Wormwood and his eclectic posse search for the Leprechaun Queen, the only being capable of lifting the terminal curse that our hero has contracted-but if the rabid leprechauns and dimension travel hasn't already set your head spinning, that'll be taken care of by the Squidmen, a terrifying collective of "gatherers" hell-bent on ingesting everything they get their tentacles on. Did we mention they've had it out for Wormwood ever since he committed an unspeakable genocide against their species? This collection is written and drawn by Templesmith, whose breakthrough art brought the original 30 Days of Night to unlife. Softcover, 128 pages, full color. Cover price $19.99.

Volume 3 - 1st printing. "Calamari Rising!" Collects Wormwood: Calamari Rising (2007) #1-4. Story and art by Ben Templesmith. Just when Wormwood thought he could finally have that quiet drink without worrying about the world coming to an end, or a friend with a parasitic infection trying to kill him, The Brotherhood of the Calamari decide to crash the party. Since their last meeting, they've tracked him across the thousand million dimensional possibilities of existence-and this time the entire Squideeverse is with them. Wormwood is going to learn the hard way he can't keep running from his problems as his oldest foe now threatens his favorite watering hole, Earth, with absorption into the Calamari group mind. Complete with additional sketches and doodlings from the twisted mind of Scream Award-nominated writer/artist (and 30 Days of Night co-creator) Ben Templesmith. Softcover, 96 pages, full color. Cover price $19.99.
