Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files: Welcome to the Jungle #3 (of 4)

Written by Jim Butcher
Pencils and Cover by Ardian Syaf

In the city of Chicago, wizard for hire Harry Dresden switches from hunter to hunted as he continues following the trail of a supernatural killer haunting the Lincoln Park Zoo. The stakes increase and the tension ratchets higher as monstrous assassins and dark magic claim more innocent lives. Dresden must survive the killer's onslaught and turn the tables, and fast, before the body count rises -- and before the killer can reach her ultimate goal. Written exclusively for comics by Jim Butcher, The Dresden Files: Welcome to the Jungle is a brand new story set in the world of the bestselling series of novels, The Dresden Files, that's sure to enchant readers with a blend of gripping mystery and fantastic adventure!

Fans can also make direct donations to the American Cancer Society here!

Additionally, fans of the Dresden TV show that live in New York City may be interested to know that Raoul Bhaneja, who played Kirmani, will be performing a highly-lauded solo version of Hamlet at the SoloNova Festival on June 25th.

The donation will applied in the name of our fundraising team, and maybe help us beat out those big corporate teams that outdid us last year. :)

Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files: Welcome to the Jungle #2 (of 4)

Written by Jim Butcher
Art and cover by Adrian Syaf
Inks by Rick Ketchum, Nick Nix and David Rivera
Variant Cover by Chris McGrath

Cats don't hunt in packs... and that's one of the reasons Dresden knows he's up against something magical when a whole group of escaped leopards, tigers and lions attacks him. It hardly seems fair, since he's barely started the case. But then, that's what happens when you're a wizard investigating the paranormal for the police, especially when you're up against an ancient creature that is planning to become something even more terrifying than it already is...

Written exclusively for comics by Jim Butcher, The Dresden Files: Welcome to the Jungle is a brand new story set in the world of the bestselling series of novels, The Dresden Files, that's sure to enchant readers with a blend of gripping mystery and fantastic adventure!

Harry Dresden is on the case again, this time investigating a brutal mauling at the Lincoln Park Zoo that has left a security guard dead… and many questions unanswered. But Dresden isn't a private detective, looking for a murderer – he's a wizard, with the ability to interact with the magical world around our own, and to see that there's much more to this case than a simple animal attack. As Dresden begins to hunt for clues to figure out who is really behind this crime, he finds himself next on the victims list…
