Dark Horse Comics and Slovenia-based Strip Art Features are continuing their publishing partnership through the Venture imprint with the May 2 release of Stefano Casini's The Darkness Behind.

In a bleak and violent future, Caleb Geko is a man in danger. His girlfriend has just run away with a gangster tough, and Caleb isn't about to let her go without a fighting for her first. His relentless attitude earns Caleb the gangster's ire, and before he realizes what's going on, Caleb has lost most of his memory and a bomb has been planted in his head! The bomb is a "gift" for one of the gangster's enemies, and Caleb is informed that if he can deliver it effectively, he may be able to get back his memories. But when the bomb is delivered and also destroys the device storing Caleb's memories, he takes the situation into his own hands, serving up murder and revenge in the name of a woman he no longer remembers.

Dark Horse Venture is a line of world-class European graphic novels released in elegant yet affordable hardcover formats. The full-color, 48-page The Darkness Behind will be available starting May 2 for $14.95.
