MATURE READERS b&w, 24pg $2.95 ARTBABE VOLUME 2 #1 by Jessica Abel Xeric Award-winner Jessica Abel, who wowed critics with her first full-sized comic last year, brings her Artbabe series to Fantagraphics. This issue features self-contained story, "As I Live and Breathe," where Ben Macewen interviews for a job and runs into Darcy Carver, who he's had a long-standing crush for. He asks her out, but when they get together both are so cautious that the "date" goes aground. MATURE READERS b&w, 24pg $2.95 MCCONEY VOL. 2: THE HOODOODAD by Lewis Trondheim The second full-color McConey album takes us to the present day, as McConey's cat buddy Richie becomes convinced he's picked up a curse from an ancient Eastern European relic. But all his efforts to prove his cursedness fail‹is this just one more manifestation of his curse, or is he, as McConey thinks, just plain off his rocker? All this plus potty photography, Matchbox car-and-tank races, subway panhandlers, dirty-words Scrabble, witch doctors, godparents, pinball, paintings no one's allowed to see, vicious little dogs, truly disgusting desserts, the morality of the coin toss, and the beginnings of a (very) tentative romance for McConey. SC, 48pg, FC $10.95 THE NIMROD #2 by Lewis Trondheim Words fail to describe this second issue of The Nimrod‹because there aren't any words in it! It's cover-to-cover pantomime, beginning with the satanic fun of "Li'l Devil," this issue's cover feature. Other stories include "Mister Phoebus" (arguably the greatest full- length flatulence gag ever devised for comics), plus several "Dud 'n' Dull" installments, and more devilishly human comedy. b&w, 32pg $2.95 POOR ARNOLD¹S ALMANAC by Arnold Roth This is the complete collection of Poor Arnold¹s Almanac, Arnold Roth¹s hilarious newspaper strip that ran every Sunday from May 1959 to May 1961.

Roth is one of America¹s most widely known cartoonists, whose work appears in Esquire, Sports Illustrated, and Time, as well as early issues of Mad magazine. ³All cartoonists are geniuses,² writes John Updike in his introduction to this volume, ³but Arnold Roth especially so.² SC, 8x10, 112pg, b&w $12.95 WHITE LIKE SHE GRAPHIC NOVEL by Bob Fingerman Fantagraphics Books presents this collection of Bob Fingerman's acclaimed mini-series White Like She! When Luther Joyce, a custodian at a nuclear power facility, is seemingly killed in a work-related accident which disfigures him horribly, his employers attempt to cover up the scandal. But when Luther washes up on Manhattan's Upper West Side, very much alive, he seeks out the help of Dr. Emil Flounder, a specialist who has devised a successful method of brain transplantation. But everything goes wrong when Louella Schwartz, a mentally unstable teenage anarchist assassinates Dr. Flounder, and Luther Joyce succumbs to having his mind transplanted... into her body! Delving into the taboo topics of race relations, political correctness, gender roles and orientations, Fingerman paints an uneasy satirical portrait of life in the '90s in this compelling and acerbic science- fiction thriller! MATURE READERS SC, 7x10, 104pg, b&w $12.95 THE LIFE AND DEATH OF FRITZ THE CAT (THIRD PRINTING) by Robert Crumb Fritz was a lovable, freewheeling chiseler who has since become an internationally known cultural icon, and stands today as R. Crumb¹s most acid commentary on Œ60s America. Tragicomedy, farce, and satire all rolled into one, The Life and Death of Fritz the Cat chronicles Fritz¹s adventures from his early days as an idealistic college student to his ultimate fate as a burned-out superstar. This volume reprints virtually every Fritz story, including the one that served as the basis for Ralph Bakshi¹s film, the classic ³Fritz the No- Good,² and ³Fritz the Cat Superstar,² which concludes with the famous ice-pick murder scene. Collected in a single volume, these essential Fritz stories are a funny, insightful, authentic record of a tumultuous period in American life, crafted with humor and compassion.

(64103) VHS MSRP: $19.95 TUNGUSKA: THE RUSSIAN ROSWELL VIDEO For the US, the UFO era began at Roswell in 1947. For the Russkies, however, it began in Siberia in 1908 when a large, glowing object streaked across the sky and exploded in mid- air with the force of a 40-megaton atomic blast, leveling 2,000 square miles of forest!

VIDEO This stunning film based on Zecharia Stichin's Genesis Revisited, makes a compelling case for his theory that highly evolved, intelligent beings capable of interstellar travel, lived in our solar system long before the appearance of mankind; that for reasons of their own, they in fact created Man in their image and likeness; and that they may be hampering our puny attempts to reach other worlds. Taking a new look at Biblical events as well as Sumerian, Hebrew, and Aramaic documents, this film suggests that we may soon be facing a dramatic new chapter in the history of mankind.
