USAGI YOJIMBO: THE SHROUDED MOON TP & LTD. ED. HC
created, written, & illustrated by STAN SAKAI
Throughout his journeys across feudal Japan, rabbit ronin Usagi has faced many dangers, crossed paths with some who have 
become his sworn enemies, and forged bonds of friendship stronger than any threat that might cross his path.  Collected here 
are six tales featuring those companions Usagi holds dear.  "Showdown" finds Usagi traveling with master swordsman Gen, as 
the two disrupt the dueling influences of a pair of corrupt families.  Neko ninja clan leader Chizu finds herself betrayed and on 
the run in "Escape!"  In "Three Seasons," Usagi is forced to defend himself with the most unlikely of weapons.  The beautiful 
thief Kitsune's tragic history is revealed in "The Shrouded Moon" and "Kitsune's Tale."  And in "Lesson in Courtesy," a hot-
headed young Usagi incurs a debt that takes nearly a lifetime to repay!  Once again, Stan Sakai masterfully weaves together the 
many threads of intrigue, adventure, humor, and heart in another endearing Usagi Yojimbo collection. Special introduction by 
Capt. Carrot & his Amazing Zoo Crew creator Scott Shaw! On sale January 8

TOOTH FAIRY (ONE-SHOT)
By JOE HARRIS and CHARLIE ADLARD
Dark Horse Comics is proud to publish the comic book prequel to this fall's horror film hit-in-the-making! The Tooth Fairy: 
The Tragic Life of Matilda Dixon serves as a prologue to the film, recounting the century-old events that set a horrifying cycle 
of violence in motion.  The movie stars Emma Caulfield (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and is slated for January 2003 release.  
The comic book is written by Joe Harris (X-Men) and drawn by Charlie Adlard (The X-Files). The comic focuses on a defining 
moment in the history of Port Fairy, a small fishing village. Matilda Dixon, a once-beautiful, now-disfigured widow has 
developed a special relationship with the children of Port Fairy.  They bring her their recently shed baby teeth in exchange for 
coins.  However, the mask-clad Dixon's familiarity with the town's children alarms their parents, and when two children go 
missing a lynch mob gathers to make Matilda pay… In The Tooth Fairy: The Tragic Life of Matilda Dixon, Joe Harris and 
Charlie Adlard have crafted a horrifying yet heartbreaking tale of loss and loneliness.  The claustrophobic small-mindedness of 
Port Fairy conjures up images of the Salem witch trials and the tragic ending of the book sets the stage for the vengeance and 
neo-gothic horror of the upcoming Tooth Fairy film. On sale January 1

Nastier opponents and meaner battles are the two things that come to mind when trying to describe this story arc. You'd think 
by now Manji would have sliced his way through the most sinister personalities of feudal Japan. But instead of thinning out the 
vicious herd, removing the worst and most depraved, he's only shaken loose the meanest characters. And it looks like Manji 
and Magatsu are in for a killer collision with one of the baddest. They've been hunting down Shira, but they're not the only 
ones on the prowl. The hunters have become the hunted and Shira has nothing but dishonorable intentions for his prey. The 
fuse is burning fast on this confrontation and it's anyone's guess who will be left standing after it explodes.

hit the ground in a vehicle assembly plant halfway around the world than she's wrangling a herd of a different kind — no-
nonsense security cyborgs bent on sending her to the cyber-scrapheap. But when Clarice/Matoko jacks into the brain of the 
facility's supervisor and breaks through network firewalls into the level 6 "ghostline," Motoko discovers that the pig slaughter 
may have been only a strike against a deeper conspiracy — and yet another hidden enemy!

CLASSIC COMIC CHARACTERS #37: EUGENE THE JEEP STATUE
Weirdly cute, this yellow, dog-sized critter was a gift to Olive Oyl from her Uncle Ben. Segar described Jeep's magical powers 
as being the result of having a "fourth-dimensional brain." Able to answer questions regarding the past, present, or future, he 
was, unlike other Segar fantasy creatures, a good little guy with a happy-go-lucky demeanor. Jeep lived on a diet consisting 
entirely of orchids. He had the power to disappear and re-appear in a different location, making him one of the earlier comic-
strip advocates of teleportation. Sculpted by Yoe! Studios, each statue comes packaged in a full-color tin box with pinback 
button and booklet as extras. Each piece is limited to only 600 numbered copies, so allocation may occur.

ROCCO VARGAS STATUE 
We are pleased to offer to U.S. and Canadian collectors the definitive sculptural version of one of the all-time great European 
comics characters, Rocco Vargas. Created by the great Daniel Torres, the intrepid Rocco is an interstellar adventurer, noted 
bon vivant, sophisticated lady's man, and two-fisted tough guy. His exploits take him on a space age tour of the galaxy, with 
alien adversaries (and a dame!) in every port. This outstanding sculpture, meticulously sculpted under the direct supervision of 
Mr. Torres, was completely handcrafted in his native Spain. No expense was spared to create this piece, which is limited to 
only 500 pieces for worldwide distribution. Measuring approximately 11" on its polished chrome metal base, this elegant cold-
cast porcelain, hand painted work of art will lend panache and a hell-bent-for-leather sensibility to discriminating libraries and 
display cases everywhere. On sale December
11" tall on chrome base, limited to 500 pieces . . . $350.00

DC COMICS

The return of the King!
AQUAMAN

	Banished from Atlantis!  Branded a traitor!  Every denizen of the deep programmed to deliver him a death sentence…

	It's Aquaman as you've never seen him before!

	The King of the Seven Seas makes his long-anticipated return to monthly comics with AQUAMAN — a new ongoing 
series that combines the talents of acclaimed storyteller Rick Veitch (GREYSHIRT: INDIGO SUNSET, Brat Pack), hot young 
penciller Yvel Guichet (JLA, BATMAN: HARLEY QUINN), inker Mark Propst, and stunning cover artist Alex Maleev 
(Daredevil, BATMAN: NO MAN'S LAND), to deliver an exciting new era in the life of the underwater crusader.

	The aftermath of the epic JLA storyline "The Obsidian Age" has left Aquaman hated by his former subjects and exiled 
from the life-giving ocean he once called home.  The king they called Orin is judged guilty of high treason for crimes 
committed during "The Obsidian Age."  His sentence: death.  Left to perish on an exposed reef, Aquaman discovers — to his 
horror — that all the creatures of the sea are instructed to attack him without mercy, and that he must now turn to other bodies 
of water for sanctuary.  In a mysterious freshwater lake he finds refuge and much more, as he is granted amazing new powers 
and a brand-new mission in life!  The oceans may be off-limits, but the Lady of the Lake has presented him with his true 
destiny.

	AQUAMAN presents a refreshing new take on this classic, fan-favorite character — delivering amazing new 
adventures that readers never expected to see, and surprises as only Veitch can provide!

	This project is supported with a full-color poster, house and trade ads, and a minisite at www.dccomics.com.

	AQUAMAN is an ongoing series edited by Dan Raspler.  The 32-page issue #1 arrives in comic-book stores December 
11 with a cover price of $2.50 U.S.

The '80s sensation returns!
ROBOTECH

	An alien spacecraft crash-lands in the South Pacific.  Over the next ten years, scientists study and adapt the alien 
technology into powerful "mecha" — much needed in a large, looming interplanetary war into which the Earth is unwillingly 
drawn…

	Welcome to ROBOTECH — a new #0 issue and 6-issue miniseries from WildStorm Productions featuring characters 
from the wildly popular animated series!  Debuting with two issues in December, this highly anticipated return of Robotech 
features stories from the Macross Saga — focusing on the original cast of characters: Roy Fokker, Rick Hunter, Lynn Minmei, 
Claudia Grant, Henry Gloval, and the arrival of the SDF-1.

	First up, Tommy Yune — the man behind DANGER GIRL: KAMIKAZE and SPEED RACER: BORN TO RACE — 
teams up with co-writer Jay Faerber (Noble Causes, THE TITANS) to bring you a special 12-page story in ROBOTECH #0.  
And getting just one fan-favorite artist wasn't enough for this important tale, so we've got four: Jim Lee (BATMAN), Lee 
Bermejo (BATMAN/DEATHBLOW: AFTER THE FIRE), Alé Garza (GEN13), and Carlos D'Anda (RESIDENT EVIL) — all 
combining their talents in a "jam" story that needs to be seen to be believed!

	After a rescue mission, Captain Rick Hunter comes across Roy Fokker's Veritech, set to be dismantled.  The sight of 
Roy's "old bird" takes Rick back to the day Roy left Pop Hunter's Air Circus to fight in the world war.  

	If that doesn't whet your appetite for Robotech excitement, this issue also features a special pinup section featuring the 
eye-popping artwork of Adam Warren, Kaare Andrews, Randy Green, Long Vo, Dustin Nguyen, and Keron Grant!  Plus, a text 
piece by Yune (who provides the cover) exploring Robotech's past, present, and future!

	Then, just two weeks later, it's ROBOTECH #1 — the beginning of a 6-issue monthly miniseries written by Yune & 
Faerber and featuring art by Long Vo (X-Men: Evolution, Last Shot: First Draw) & Udon, a cover by Yune, and a variant 
cover by Steve Skroce (Wolverine).  In issue #1, Ace fighter pilot Roy Fokker has gone to war and is making himself a legend 
through his tenacity and raw ability.  But skills in the air alienate him from his comrades, as he often outlives his wingmen.  
His next mission, though, tests even his ability and brings him into conflict with someone familiar to any Robotech fan: 
Captain Gloval!  And there's a new challenge on the horizon for both of them...one that's about to crash onto Macross Island!

	This project is supported with a full-color poster, house and trade ads, a co-op ad slick, and a minisite at 
www.dccomics.com.

	ROBOTECH #0 is a 32-page WildStorm Productions one-shot edited by Ben Abernathy, arriving in comic-book stores 
December 4 with a cover price of $2.50 U.S.  ROBOTECH is a 6-issue WildStorm Productions miniseries also edited by 
Abernathy.  The 32-page issue #1 arrives in comic-book stores December 18 with a cover price of $2.95 U.S.  Note: This issue 
will ship with two covers.  All orders will be filled with Tommy Yune (50%) and Steve Skroce (50%).

GOTHAM CENTRAL

	They are Gotham City's finest!  And living in the shadow of the Dark Knight just makes the detectives of Gotham's 
police force determined to prove they have what it takes to enforce the law in a city rife with criminals…with or without 
Batman's help.

	GOTHAM CENTRAL is a powerful new ongoing series that debuts with two issues in December!  Masterfully 
written by Greg Rucka (DETECTIVE COMICS, Queen & Country) & Ed Brubaker (BATMAN, CATWOMAN), and 
beautifully brought to life by artist Michael Lark (BATMAN: NINE LIVES), GOTHAM CENTRAL focuses on the daily grind 
of the police detectives of Gotham — taking readers to a part of Batman's world they've only glimpsed before.  Fan favorite 
characters like Renée Montoya, Crispis Allen, Maggie Sawyer, and Commissioner Aikens (the man who replaced James 
Gordon) are joined by an expanded cast of both familiar and new faces.  Readers learn just how difficult it is to solve crimes 
and prevent murders in Gotham, especially when the biggest obstacle is Batman!

	In issue #1, a tense drama begins in rapid-fire fashion with the all too familiar cry of "officer down!" — and the race is 
on to stop a major Batman villain while solving the crime before the Dark Knight intervenes.  But between the emotion of 
losing one of their own and the labyrinth of clues left behind, the chances of success for Montoya, Allen and Co. don't look 
good…

	Then three weeks later in issue #2, the detectives' best lead to solving the murder of their fellow officer has reached a 
dead end, and time is running out.  When they discover the killer's real target, can they hope to arrive in time?

	Issue #3 follows in January only two weeks later, and then the title maintains a regular monthly schedule, with Rucka 
and Brubaker writing solo on alternating story arcs thereafter.

	This project is supported with a full-color poster, house and trade ads, and a minisite at www.dccomics.com.

	GOTHAM CENTRAL is an ongoing series edited by Matt Idelson.  Issue #1 arrives in comic-book stores December 4, 
and issue #2 arrives in comic-book stores December 26.  Each issue is 32 pages with a cover price of $2.50 U.S.

WAR STORY: J FOR JENNY

"No enemy aircraft will fly over the Reich territory." — Herman Goering

	It's late 1943, and with the war now turning towards victory for the Allies, great firebombing raids are being launched 
against German cities and industries.  The Americans bomb by day and the British by night — up to a thousand bombers at a 
time hitting cities like Hamburg, Bremen and Berlin, razing them all.  But no matter how tough you are as part of a bombing 
crew, sooner or later you find yourself wondering who is underneath you when you drop the mother lode…

	Writer Garth Ennis returns for another hard-hitting tale of war in WAR STORY: J FOR JENNY — a 64-page 
VERTIGO one-shot reuniting Ennis with legendary artist David Lloyd (V FOR VENDETTA, WAR STORY: 
NIGHTINGALE), with a cover designed by Terry Marks.  The Americans may have had the B-17 Flying Fortress, but the 
English had the Lancaster bomber — a built-to-spill flying tank that was loaded to the gills, punching Swiss-cheese holes in 
German industrial facilities.  Jenny is one of Britain's tough-as-leather Lancaster bombers, and this is her tale — as her crew 
wreaks havoc on cities all across Nazi Germany.

	J FOR JENNY — the second tale in the latest wave of WAR STORY one-shots — shows the very human side of war, 
living up to the brutal realism and in-your-face storytelling that made the first WAR STORY chronicles such a hit. 

	This project is supported with house ads.

	WAR STORY: J FOR JENNY is a 64-page VERTIGO one-shot edited by Will Dennis and is suggested for mature 
readers.  It arrives in comic-book stores December 11 with a cover price of $4.95 U.S.

HELLBLAZER SPECIAL:
LADY CONSTANTINE

"I have, in my time, found little use for convention — especially insofar as it involves being dictated to by men..." — 
Johanna Constantine

	The year is 1785, and Johanna Constantine is a woman way ahead of her time.  Ancestor of HELLBLAZER's John 
Constantine, and herself a dabbler in the shadowy world of the occult, Johanna finds herself embroiled in a desperate battle to 
locate the world's most coveted — and deadliest — mystical prize.  An infernal box which, if opened, could reveal the secrets 
of the universe, or unleash all the savage powers of Hell...or both. 

	HELLBLAZER SPECIAL: LADY CONSTANTINE is a 4-issue VERTIGO miniseries written by Andy Diggle 
(2000AD) with art by award-winning artist Goran Sudzuka (OUTLAW NATION), and super-sexy painted covers by Phil Noto 
(BIRDS OF PREY, Beautiful Killer).

protective body armor.  After a fierce battle, the creature turns out to be Java — the caveman bodyguard of industrialist Simon 
Stagg (and longtime DCU readers know that if Stagg is around, a certain DCU fan-favorite character is sure to be close by).

The world of Kildare, expatriate princess of Faerie and star of Aria, gets turned upside down when Goodfellow, the deadly, 
mischievous sprite immortalized in Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream, comes to New York. Convinced that 
Goodfellow's intentions are considerably less than pure, Kildare sifts through his trail of riddles and lies, trying to figure out 
just what is he is up to. Her search leads to an underground soul market, where the immortal spirits of humans are bought, sold 
and traded — and to the memory of Kildare's long forgotten love.
Written by Brian Holguin with art by stunningly talented newcomer David Yardin and covers by Russ Manning winner Jay

look like their agent. She was hailed as a success…that was until…the genetic trigger that enables her to switch personas began

fatal outcome.

kick@$$ $#%!. For starters we've thrown in the killer five page preview from Powers #17 that started it all as well as a pinup 
gallery featuring visionary masters like Brian Steelfreeze, David Mack, Dave Johnson, Rick "son of Ikegami" Mays, Andy Lee 
and other amazing badasses. The trade also features an extensive look behind the scenes into the creative process of Oeming, 
Gunter and Shannon. You'll see how things go from concept to execution as well as deleted material deemed too weird by 
Mike. We at Bastard Samurai love well executed DVD extras as much as the next gaijin, so we're approaching the trade with

Hawaii, the supernatural manifestations of the islands' myths and legends lie just around every corner.

the case seems simple enough. Yet he's soon immersed in a dark paradise of swank tiki lounges, exotic bar girls, murdered

time to capture him. Who is the collector and who are The Riders?

FC	32pp	$2.95	Ongoing monthly series
In stores the week of December 18th.
The Concept: The Geldarians are a race of incredibly intelligent, yet physically weak and fragile beings.  To compensate for 
their frailty they have invented the "Tech Jacket," a vest that every Geldarian is equipped with upon birth.  Each jacket grows 
and matures with its host, specializing in tasks that the host will find most useful.  A fully developed Tech Jacket is considered 
to be one of the most powerful weapons in the universe.  Zack Thompson, through an event of sheer chance, has come to 
possess a Tech Jacket of his own.  Now it appears that the fate of the entire universe rests on his shoulders as he learns that 
with infinite power comes infinite responsibility.
This Issue: Zack, now is possession of a Geldarian Tech Jacket, attempts to return to his every day life.  He finds it makes 
some things easier while it makes others much more difficult, such as maintaining a normal life.  All seems to be going well 
until The Geldarians learn that he has the Jacket.  They must uphold an ancient law, which states that any non-Geldarian to 
wield a Tech Jacket must be put to death.  This puts a damper on Zack's plans for Saturday night.

The Concept: Three time Eisner award winning Brian Michael Bendis (Powers, Ultimate Spider-Man titles, Daredevil, Alias) 
didn't just appear out of thin air, you know! He worked his tuchas off at all aspects of the medium before totally losing his hair 
in mainstream comics.
Compiled in this exclusive collection are dozens of short stories that are widely considered his best work, handpicked by the 
author. Ranging from the 'Fortune and Glory' style autobiographical anecdotes, to some of the darkest crime noir stories he has 
yet to tell. Also included is a smattering of his favorite short work collaborationswith Warren Ellis, Mark (Nowheresville) 
Ricketts, James Hudnall, and Mike Avon Oeming. And a portfolio of line art and multi-media illustrations that have rarely 
been seen before. A fun and must have collection of rarely seen or never seen material.

TOM JUDGE: END OF DAYS #1
(W) Paul Jenkins  (P) Clayton Crain  (I) Jonathan Glapion  (C) Tyson Wengler
Imagine you were given a key to unlock the most devastating power in the Universe.  Imagine the fate of all Creation hanging 
upon a single decision yet to be made.  Now, imagine you had to make this decision by lunchtime on Friday. The devil has left 
Hell, God has gone missing and all the angels and demons are ready to scrap over the remains.  But one mere mortal may have 
the ultimate say in the fight for control of the Universe — a sinister government official named Black.  And the only man 
standing in his way is Tom Judge, a lapsed Catholic priest who controls the most significant power in creation — the Rapture. 
Join Tom, his precognitive partner, Tilly, and his misfit band of messiahs as they attempt to wring the eternal Answer out of a 
question nobody bothered to ask.  The fate of the Universe hangs in the balance — does anybody have a solution?

THE ULTIMATES #2 COVER RE-IMAGINED (IRON MAN) POSTER
by Bryan Hitch
A Diamond Select Release! Marvel's runaway hit for 2002 is far-and-away The Ultimates, and Bryan Hitch's amazing artwork 
and character designs are two of the biggest reasons why. After seeing the Ultimate Iron Man Bust from Diamond Select, 
Bryan decided to re-create the cover to The Ultimates #2 to represent DST's design!  Here it is, True Believers, for the first 
time anywhere: The Ultimates #2 Cover Re-Imagined by Bryan Hitch!  With more wires and more interfaces between Tony 
Stark's body and his amazing suit of armor, the man/machine known as Iron Man stands ready to do some good for the world 
in the short time he has left. Pick up one now and see what one of today's top artists can do when given a chance to re-create 
history.  This poster is printed on 100lb paper stock for longer life. Guaranteed on sale in December 2002!

SPIDER-MAN'S ROGUES' GALLERY: THE SCORPION BUST
A Diamond Select Release! You think you've seen it all?  All that Art Asylum and Diamond Select have to show?  What more 
could they do to make people stand up and take notice?  How about taking on one of Spidey's oldest and most established 
villains and showing him in a way never seen before?  The next generation is here!  This month the Scorpion makes his 
appearance in the Rogues' Gallery!  With his deadly tail poised, ready to strike, and rising up from a base of broken cabin 
flooring, the Scorpion is ready to take his place on your shelf next to the other nemeses that haunt young Peter Parker's dreams!  
This bust features a metallic paint style to accurately portray the cybernetic armor that J. Jonah Jameson had bonded to 
Scorpion's flesh in an effort to "Kill the Spider!"  Join the revolution!  This bust measures 6" tall from the base to top of his 
head, and is in scale with the rest of the Rogues' Gallery line. Limited to 6,500 pieces worldwide, each packed with a hand-
numbered, full-color Certificate of Authenticity. Guaranteed on sale in February 2003!

SILVER AGE X-MEN: ANGEL 8 INCH RESIN STATUE
A Diamond Select Release! The Third release in Diamond Select's original Silver Age X-Men line!  Jack "King" Kirby brought 
these characters to the comics page, and for the first time ever, someone is bringing these timeless characters to life in 3 
dimensions!  From the folds in his costume to the details in each feather, it's all here for the true fans that remember when the 
Marvel Universe was taking its first steps.  Each statue in this line links together to form a diorama of the team, and each statue 
ships with a different "X-Men" letter that can be used when displaying the team as a whole.  Or, if you choose to, you can 
display each piece on its own without the letter (though why you'd want to is beyond us!). When placed together, Angel soars 
from behind the rest of the team and measures almost 11" tall from base to tip of his wings.  Angel, like the rest of the line, is 
limited to 3,000 pieces worldwide and comes with a full-color, hand-numbered Certificate of Authenticity. A new piece is 
added to the line every other month—guaranteed! Angel is guaranteed on sale in January 2003!

country; these are larger, more detailed collectibles, each packed with large bases to help create diorama displays.  Not only 
that, but they are all 100% original sculpts.  The original Black Widow has gone from hero to villain and back to hero again… 
which doesn't make Natasha Romanov's Russian masters all that happy with her.  In response to her "desertion," they assign 
Yelena Belova as the new Black Widow… whose first mission is to hunt down and eliminate Natasha!  Star of the hit Marvel 
Max mini-series, this is the new Black Widow, done for the first time as an action figure with mountain base and biological 
weapons containers.  Yelena comes complete with a handgun as well as an automatic rifle — more than enough firepower for 
this trained assassin to get the job done.  Beware this replacement killer…! Not available in mass market outlets and packaged 
in deluxe blister card package. Guaranteed on sale in February 2003!

KAMEELMAN #1
by T-Bone, Ron Randall, & James Taylor
Zack Zielger is Kameelman. Created by the evil fertility specialist, Doctor Gor Menchin, Zack is the first transgenic clone 
concocted from a cocktail of chameleon and human genes. Zack has the unique ability to morph his physical characteristics to 
look like a different human –– just like a chameleon does in his environment –– to hide his real identity. But Zack goes far 
beyond the physical to also assume the feelings and emotions of the person he morphs into. Everyone has been picked on, 
whether by the bully at school, by a big brother, or by the pest in the next cubicle. See how maturely — or immaturely — 
Kameelman handles it as Zack, along with his teammates, springs into action to fight social injustice! Kameelman is a hero 
with a role rather than a hero with a goal. Cover by David Hahn.

EL MUCHO GRANDE #1
by Yambar, Broderick, Wheaton, & Kazaleh
Mucho Grande was so huge as a newborn that it took two women to birth him into our world. Now, after 80 years of fighting 
monsters, aliens, madmen, and those sexy vampire and zombie women, the 1 1/4 ton masked muscle mass has left the ring and 
has headed north. His destination: Wisconsin. But before he can settle into his new trailer park headquarters, El Mucho Grande 
must travel to Saturn, battle the gods of Asgard, and rumble with giant Japanese monsters off the coast of Florida. How else 
can he and his meat-eating chuppacabra prove that they are worthy to become citizens of the United States? If you dig the 
adventures of Santo, Blue Demon, and other B-Movie heroes then you're gonna love El Mucho Grande! He's the next big 
thing!

THE ANNOTATED MANTOOTH TP
by Matt Fraction, Andy Kuhn, & Tim Fisher
They say the star that burns twice as bright burns half as long. In the case of Rex Mantooth!, he burned five or six times as 
bright for, like, ten minutes or so. Ape Super-Spy Rex Mantooth blazed across three stories to inexplicable critical acclaim. 
These blistering bits of nonsense are now lavishly collected with corrected and re-toned art, the official text, covers, essays, 
scripts, annotations, pinups, and more. Featuring a foreword, a preface, an introduction, and publisher's note by some of 
comics' most notable luminaries and more exclusive material than anyone can possibly imagine. The Annotated Mantooth is 
exactly like a DVD about a museum that's full of monkey comics about stuff that 'splodes and dudes gettin' kicked… just not 
round, or shiny.

Warren Ellis and Jacen Burrows, the creative team of the critically acclaimed Dark Blue, bring to life this sick descent into the 
foulest reaches of the world in which we live. It is a world of beauty in the eyes of many, but to bleeding-edge writer Warren

simply off their rockers. This collection of all three issues also features a gallery of the stunning artwork of Jacen Burrows and 
a new introduction by Warren Ellis. (STAR16317)

ILLUSTRATION COLLECTOR: SET A
Special price: Originally published at $20.00 for this two-issue set! Beautiful Illustration House catalogs, these are devoted 
entirely to single artists. Volume #37 is dedicated to an exhibition of the works of Al Parker (1906-1985), who defined the 
progressive look of illustration from the 1940s through the '60s. Often imitated, he nonetheless kept ahead of other artists by 
continually reinventing his style, often in the same issue of a magazine! Here are 31 illustrations for Ladies' Home Journal, 
Good Housekeeping, Cosmopolitan and more. Volume #38b: This volume features the work of Wilmot Emerton Heitland 
(1893-1969). Though trained classically, Heitland incorporated the fashionable style of Art Deco into his magazine 
illustrations. The striking use of bold lines and strong purples, red-violets, and blues added a fresh dynamism to his work. This 
showcases 19 pieces, including his masterful watercolors. Published by Illustration House in 1997, 1998.

ILLUSTRATION COLLECTOR: SET B
Special price: Originally published at $32.00 for this three-issue set! Beautiful Illustration House catalogs, these are devoted 
entirely to single artists. Volume #32 is dedicated to the works of E.F. Ward (1892-1990), a popular magazine illustrator and 
cover artist for countless pulp magazines. 52 illustrations, with one study, all of which are printed in b&w except the cover 
image. Volume #34: The era of paperbacks and pulps prompted a new style of art — a dynamic, visceral form that warned the 
reader to beware, the road ahead is unknown. These bright, attention-grabbing covers were sometimes the only draw to a 
publication, and consequently were the leading edge in lurid, horrific imagery. This catalog presents 120 outrageous and often 
amazing covers by Robert A. Graef, J. Allen St. John, Rudolf Belarski, Norman Saunders, Rafael DeSoto, Jack Levine, Robert 
McGinnis, Willard Downes, and many others. Volume #38a features an exhibition of the works of Walter Baumhofer (1904-
1986), an extraordinarily prolific illustrator, who worked for nearly every major general interest magazine of the 1920s to the 
'50s. Though he spent only a brief period as a cover illustrator for the pulps, he made over 500 cover illustrations, including 
Ace-High, Dime Detective, and all 43 covers for Doc Savage from March 1933 to September 1936! Contains 39 illustrations, 
all but three in color. Published by Illustration House in 1995-96, 1998.

SMOKE GETS IN YOUR EYES: BRANDING AND DESIGN IN CIGARETTE PACKAGING

cleverest designers to make smoking appeal to as many people in as many cultures as possible. This collection of more than 
300 cigarette packs shows a startling range of images from saints to skeletons, golden bats to butterflies, tartans to top hats. 
Also included are chronicles of such major and minor campaigns, including oddities like Fems, Fez, and Wooden-Kimona 
Nails. Flavorful text explores what factors distinguish successes from flops — who smokes Life cigarettes and who picks up a 
pack of Death instead? What makes certain symbols universally popular? An addictively entertaining resource for designers, 
typographers, commercial artists, as well as collectors featuring more than 300 color illustrations. Co-author Thibodeau, now a 
graphic designer, is a long-time comics fan that occasionally collaborated with Jack Kirby. A great collection of images!

SHI: THE ILLUSTRATED WARRIOR #6
by Billy Tucci with Craig Shaw Gardner
The time of Battle is upon us. Ana Ishikawa dons the ancient Kyoto armor her mother had forsaken as she attempts to halt the 
Nara Sohei once and for all. One by one the Nara assassins are sought out and destroyed, and Shi will finally purge New York 
of such bloodshed. She will duel against the leader of the black-cloaked warriors atop the Queensborough/59th Street Bridge. 
But Ana's best friend, the lethally beautiful Tomoe, leads the Nara. Tomoe's mantra is that of the butterfly, and she wields her 
bladed war-fans in a delicate-but-deadly sweep of a song. Bound by honor, a broken-hearted Tomoe must deliver the head of 
Shi to the ruthless Yakuza crime lord, Masahiro Arashi. Stinging rain and striking lighting slash as embattled friends clash 400 
feet above the East River in an incredible dance of death. There will be only one victor, but two lives will be destroyed. The 
Illustrated Warrior combines the best aspects of New York Times best-selling author Craig Shaw Gardner's novelized verse 
and Shi creator Billy Tucci's dynamic and richly detailed illustrations. Warrior is based on the legendary Way of the Warrior 
story arc but with an added twist that forever alters the Shi universe we've all come to know.

O/A PORTRAITS FROM LIFE
by David Collier
In 2001, Collier hit his stride with this selection of biographies of outsiders: The sweetheart of the prairies becomes an 
Olympic champion… but fame will sour her; Grey Owl is an early enviromentalist — and an Englishman!; Canada's infamous 
21 year imprisonment of an innocent young man; Collier's charmingly weird Grandfather (in case you wondering where 
Collier gets it from); and finally, the man who gave mescaline to Aldous Huxley and coined the word "psychedelic." "I don't 
think there's a cartoonist whose new work I approach with such anticipations as David Collier." -Joe Sacco (Palestine)

realize that they have no time to regroup because a United Nations special-forces unit is hot on their trail. Shing's life-long 
friend and confidant, Sasha, is now a captive of the Children. Yet she uses her hostage situation as a way of learning more 
about the dark designs of Moukie and his mad lust for the power of the Arkanium scrolls. Sash uncovers the puzzle of the 
bizarre connection that links the destinies of Rowan, Shing, and Moukie while one member of the Children of the Damned 
makes his play for dominance. As Act One of Arkanium comes to a senses-shattering conclusion, secrets are revealed, ghosts

Hulk! Now, the Hulk is reborn once again, as this massive, incredible "Big" Bust, released in time for 40th Anniversary of the 
gray-skinned goliath's first appearance! The "Gray" Hulk, who, along with his massive build and strength, maintained his 
intelligence and awareness, as well as a hatred for most things human (including Bruce Banner), sits in a contemplative pose 
atop a mound of discarded books. Yet the one he holds in his massive hands seems to have captured all of his interest… an 
apropos piece by Robert Louis Stevenson entitled "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde!" Designed by Pablo Viggiano and Juan Bobillo, 
sculpted by Pablo Viggiano, and painted by Alejandra Jorquer, the Gray Hulk "Big" Bust stands over 8" tall and 9" from front

Alex Summers, brother of Scott "Cyclops" Summers of the Uncanny X-Men, first appeared in X-Men #54, but donned his now 
familiar guise as Havok in X-Men #58. Channeling the solar radiation that stored up in his body, his suit was specially designed 
to harness and release his deadly mutant power! Now, designer Juan Bobillo, and sculptor Pablo Viggiano have created the 
first-ever Havok Bust! This piece screams with power from the base, which duplicates the swirling energy feeding into 
Havok's body, to the defiant stance of Havok as he prepares top let loose against an unseen foe! Strictly limited to just 1,969 
production units in the word (the year Havok first appeared in the pages of Uncanny X-Men), this magnificent creation will 
make an awesome addition to your collection (just keep him out of the sun, as that's how Havok gets his power, and we don't

COMICS JOURNAL WINTER SPECIAL 2003
edited by Gary Groth
William Stout is one of the most accomplished, critically acclaimed, and commercially successful illustrators, painters, and 
cartoonists in America today. He has, for over 30 years, brought consummate draftsmanship, impeccable craft, painterly 
nuance, and a mature vision that is, by turns, riotously Rabelaisian and awe-inspiringly naturalistic to virtually every form of 
visual popular culture — from comics to film to gallery exhibitions. The Comics Journal Winter 2003 Special spotlights 
Stout's work with a beautiful cover, painted especially for this volume, and an interview with the artist in which he proves to 
be not only a great artist but an engaging raconteur and high-flying theorist as well. The interview covers his long career, 
which includes, among other highlights, his solo comics as well as his collaborations with Jack Kirby, Moebius, Al 
Williamson, Russ Manning, and Harvey Kurtzman; his various film work for Jim Henson, Walt Disney, and others; his album 
covers for Firesign Theatre, The Rolling Stones, and more. Essays included in the special are: R. Fiore on The Simpson's; Paul 
Gravett on "Whatever Happened to the Escape Artists", with new strips by the most prominent artists who appeared in that 
groundbreaking '80s British comics anthology (Escape), including Eddie Campbell and Carol Swain; Donald Phelps on Lynda 
Barry; Tom Spurgeon on Tom Hart; and Bill Blackbeard on Milt Gross. "Patriotism" informs the comics section this time 
around with the comics of Joe Sacco, Bill Stout, Kim Deitch, R. Crumb, Bill Griffith, Phoebe Gloeckner, Jack Jackson, Sam

LUBA'S COMICS AND STORIES #3: "OFELIA"
by Gilbert Hernandez
The third issue in the always entertaining and intriguing series from Love & Rockets co-creator Gilbert Hernandez is all about 
La Familia: When Luba and Ofelia aren't getting along, it's up to Luba's children to try to cheer Ofelia up; Ofelia's start to her 
book about Luba is interrupted by a soul-searching bout of writers block; and Luba discovers from her sisters Fritz and Petra 
that she was abandoned by her mother (or was she?). Gilbert's ability to create beautiful stories with a rich depth of character 
around Luba and her family and continue to develop best-selling comics in the Love & Rockets series is simply amazing.

NOTES FROM A DEFEATIST TP
by Joe Sacco
Before Joe Sacco crafted his two major works of "cartoon journalism," Palestine and Safe Area Gorazde, he created a number 
of shorter pieces, ranging from one-page gags to 30-page "graphic novelettes." This massive book finally collects the entirety 
of Sacco's earlier journalistic and autobiographical work, plus a sizable serving of his satirical strips, many of them never 
before collected in book form. The centerpieces in Notes from a Defeatist are a triptych of war stories: "When Good Bombs 
Happen to Bad People," a history of aerial bombing that specifically targets civilian populations; "More Women, More 
Children, More Quickly," in which Sacco relates his mother's harrowing experiences during World War II in Malta; and, most 
personally (and closest to Sacco's later work), "How I Loved the War," Sacco's impassioned but sardonic reflection on the 
Gulf war, the surrounding propaganda and media circus, and his own ambivalent feelings as both a spectator and commentator: 
The book derives its title from this sequence, which has acquired a painful new relevance in the past half-year. Notes from a 
Defeatist also includes a roadie's-eye view of an American punk band's eventful European tour, a reminiscence of an awful 
season spent in his native Malta, Sacco's hilarious recollections of his career as a librarian, a selection of satirical strips about 
slackers, artists, and American salarymen, and much more.

THE ENIGMA OF AL CAPP TP
by Alexander Theroux
Acclaimed writer Alexander Theroux (the former Harvard, Yale, and MIT professor best recognized for his novel 
Darconville's Cat and last year's The Primary Colors, which John Updike called "a unique gem") delves into the well-known, 
yet often glossed over, dark side of one of our most celebrated funnymen, Al Capp, creator of Li'l Abner. Compassionately, 
but with a keen eye, Theroux traces Capp's transformation from a brilliantly funny social advocate creator of the American 
myth, into a much darker haunted man who adopted the conservative politics he once criticized. By juxtaposing his art with his 
life, Theroux offers a rich and compelling analysis of this complex icon of American culture. (STAR14822)

by Bill Willingham
It's not easy being immortal. Mighty Beowulf, world famous hero of old, is down on his luck, living in a dive, deep in the bad 
part of Coventry. He's been out of work since his private hero's license was revoked.  Then fate comes calling in the person of 
a lovely young woman named Janet Garrow. She works for a private organization called the Saint George Group, dedicated to 
the difficult and dangerous task of hunting down the world's deadliest monsters. She wants Beowulf to reenter the heroing 
trade by joining them. It seems that the entire population of a small Montana town has decided to commit suicide — all in the 
same night — and its up to Beowulf and Miss Garrow to find out why. But before he even has a chance to solve that mystery, 
Beowulf has to survive his appointment with the Monster Maker! Bill Willingham makes the classic character a pulp hero for 
the new millennium in this new series of fantasy adventure novels. Willingham first used the licensed professional hero, 
Beowulf, in the short- lived Coventry series. The Beowulf books are a series of short novels, with Hyde & Seek coming soon!

THE YELLOW JAR HC
by Patrick Atangan
Introducing the delightfully precise and beautifully designed art of Patrick Atangan in a new series of adaptations of traditional 
Asian tales. This book, drawn in the ukiyo-e style (world of floating pictures), presents "The Yellow Jar," which centers around 
a simple fisherman and a beautiful maiden he takes as wife, after finding her in a magic jar. However, she is abducted by a 
demon warrior, who is considerably more powerful than the simple fisherman. But the fisherman's resolve, even after many 
unsuccessful attempts to rescue her, does not falter. In "Two Chrysanthemum Maidens," a monk is faced with two rather 
strange wild flowers in his carefully tended garden. They are wild and have planted themselves there at will. They are weeds… 
but they are lovely like women.
