On sale November 8 Zippo $29.99 THE RING OF THE NIBELUNG: RHINEGOLD WATER GLOBE The Ring of the Nibelung is a project Russell has wanted to do all his life, and the results are spectacular. In order to celebrate, top sculptor Sam Greenwell of Acornboy Studios is creating a three-dimensional version of Russell's unique graphic style. The saga of the Ring cycle opens with the theft of "the Rhinegold" from the mermaids who guard the treasure in their undersea mountain. This haunting sequence seemed a natural for the water globe, so we could recreate their undersea environment. The glass sphere measures approximately 4 1/2" in diameter. On its base of spiraling waves, it is about 5 1/2" tall, the mermaids swim in a counter-spiral pattern inside, and tiny gold flakes are suspended in the water, creating a sparkling effect that represents the stolen gold they guarded.

That honor goes to Dick Grayson, now Nightwing — whose untold earliest adventures as the Boy Wonder, sidekick to the mysterious Batman, are now revealed in ROBIN: YEAR ONE, a 4-part Prestige Format miniseries co-written by Chuck Dixon (ROBIN, NIGHTWING) and Scott Beatty (GREEN LANTERN 80-PAGE GIANT), with art by Javier Pulido (The Incredible Hulk) and Robert Campanella (BATGIRL). Already entrenched in the Batcave and his official training complete, young Dick Grayson has a world of experience to gain — and a ton of new enemies to make — beginning with the truly insane Mad Hatter! Ultimately, over the course of YEAR ONE, Robin crosses paths with many crazed villains in Batman's Rogues Gallery and makes a new deadly enemy for himself — one whose impact will be felt in the present-day pages of NIGHTWING! ROBIN: YEAR ONE explores many facets of Dick's early days as Robin, including his struggle to live a "normal" childhood while continuing to serve not only as the Boy Wonder, but also as the ward of one of the world's most visible, richest and eligible businessmen, Bruce Wayne. Not unlike BATMAN: YEAR ONE, which became an enduring classic because of its account of a hero in the making, ROBIN: YEAR ONE will reveal how Dick became the hero he is today. This project is supported with house and trade ads. ROBIN: YEAR ONE is a 4-issue miniseries in the Prestige Format edited by Matt Idelson. The 48-page issue #1 arrives in comic-book stores October 25 with a cover price of $4.95 U.S. Love can make you crazy! HARLEY QUINN From the moment she first appeared on Batman: The Animated Series, Harley Quinn has taken the world by storm. Now, building on her triumphant debut as part of the DC Universe during "No Man's Land" (in the hugely successful BATMAN: HARLEY QUINN one-shot), the Joker's special lady takes center stage in a new ongoing series titled — what else? — HARLEY QUINN. Written by Karl Kesel (SUPERBOY, Section Zero) with art and covers by Terry Dodson and Rachel Dodson (SILVER AGE, Generation X), HARLEY QUINN is not the story of an honorable woman and her quest for justice. Instead, it's a love story gone horribly, horribly, horribly wrong, especially in the first, extra-length issue, as the Joker's girlfriend must do without Mister J's "calming" influence! And considering just how many sandwiches short of a picnic Harley is, you know this book's going to be wild! Harley is driven to astounding lengths to free her loony lover. And that's just in the first seven pages! What follows is too strange for words, though it does involve one itsy-bitsy cameo by Batman. Just one! Once you see life through the eyes of Harley Quinn, you'll find she makes a lot more sense. Would you believe a little more sense? This project is supported with a 4-color poster; a co-op ad slick; and house and trade ads. HARLEY QUINN is an ongoing series edited by Matt Idelson. The 48-page issue #1 arrives in comic-book stores October 11 with a cover price of $2.95 U.S. Subsequent issues will be 32 pages with a $2.25 U.S. cover price. It'll leave you breathless! DANGER GIRL #7 It's been months since readers last saw Abbey Chase and the rest of the Danger Girls, and things have not gotten better for our beautiful and intrepid heroines. The villainous Hammer has successfully gathered all the mystical artifacts he needs to attain world domination, and the situation is beyond dire. How will the world survive, you ask? The answers to this and other questions are revealed in DANGER GIRL #7, an extra-sized CLIFFHANGER PRODUCTIONS issue that closes Volume 1 of one of today's most popular comics with an unforgettably explosive climax! Written by J. Scott Campbell and Andy Hartnell with pencils by Campbell and inks by Sandra Hope, Richard Friend and Scott Williams and a gorgeous wraparound, gatefold cover by Campbell and Hope, DANGER GIRL #7 provides all the heart-racing action that readers have come to expect...and then some! Join Abbey, Sydney, Valerie, Deuce, and Johnny Barracuda as they navigate the treacherous waters of Hammer Island and enter into a battle royale to retrieve the stolen artifacts! Which of our heroes will not be coming back for the DANGER GIRL Specials and miniseries that lie ahead? What is the stunning secret of Secret Agent Zero? And just how good can Campbell's good-girl art get? This project is supported with a window sign and house ads. DANGER GIRL #7 is a 48-page CLIFFHANGER PRODUCTIONS issue edited by Scott Dunbier. It arrives in comic-book stores October 25 with a cover price of $5.95 U.S. Love. Despair. Magic. Hope. Will Eisner's MINOR MIRACLES New York City. It may be the toughest city on Earth in which to survive. The endless flow of people, the breakneck pace. But, amid the glistening skyscrapers of Manhattan are the neighborhoods that are the city's heart and soul. They are places filled with love, death, betrayal, spiritual longing, and earthly poverty. Places of miracles large and small. MINOR MIRACLES is the first original work for DC Comics by master storyteller, comics innovator and legend Will Eisner — following the recent Last Day In Vietnam graphic novel from Dark Horse Comics — as he returns to the New York City of his youth, proving miracles can happen every day in unlikely places to unlikely people. MINOR MIRACLES, the latest addition to the Will Eisner Library and available at the same time in both hardcover and softcover versions, is a collection of four remembrances of the apocryphal stories or "meinsas" that filled the air of the tenements and streets of the Dropsie Avenue of Eisner's youth (the same neighborhood found in Eisner's A CONTRACT WITH GOD and DROPSIE AVENUE). These are stories of outrageous fortune and unlucky coincidence that, like memories themselves, are subjective and often unreliable — but ultimately, miraculous. In "The Miracle of Dignity," a rags-to-riches-to-rags tale, Uncle Amos is a fast-talking beggar (some say con man) who learns that dignity comes at a price above worldly wealth. "Street Magic" is a neighborhood parable about surviving the pitfalls of being a newly arrived immigrant in New York that proves brute strength and violence is no match for good sleight-of- hand. In "The New Kid on the Block," a strange and primitive boy turns up on Dropsie Avenue, bringing with him a mysterious wave of good luck and harmony. But when he becomes a victim of the social forces of the neighborhood, everyone's fortunes are affected. Finally, "Special Wedding Ring" is the heartbreaking tale of Reba and Marvin — two young people forced to the fringes of life by intolerance for their physical disabilities. After being forced into an arranged marriage by their meddlesome mothers, the pair seems to find happiness…until fate intervenes. Eisner's graphic storytelling is as brilliant as ever. While he weaves these four stories against a specific backdrop, the power of this new work, like that of his past masterpieces (THE DREAMER, INVISIBLE PEOPLE), is in the universality of his themes. Like the tall tales still told in neighborhoods everywhere, the stories in MINOR MIRACLES provide people with something to share, something to cling to, and something to believe in. Most important, they give one hope and wonder. This project is supported with a large 4-color poster; a co-op ad slick; and house and trade ads. MINOR MIRACLES, part of the Will Eisner Library, is a 112-page, black-and-white graphic novel with a full-color cover edited by Karen Berger. The hardcover version has a cover price of $29.95 U.S. The softcover version has a cover price of $12.95 U.S. Both versions arrive in comic-book stores October 11. THE GREEN LANTERN/GREEN ARROW COLLECTION HC In the 1970s, a revolution was happening in comics as "relevant" stories began to appear that reflected the fast-changing social climate and attitudes in America of the time. Among the first such relevant comics was the groundbreaking and legendary run of GREEN LANTERN/GREEN ARROW, featuring stories by Dennis O'Neil and artwork by Neal Adams. Now this classic set of stories is collected in a single volume for the first time as a deluxe slipcased hardcover edition — THE GREEN LANTERN/GREEN ARROW COLLECTION HC (advance-solicited this month) — in time for the 25th Anniversary! All the stories from the 1970s are included (along with the original GL/GA issues' covers), as well as the GL/GA story that was serialized in three issues of THE FLASH. In addition, a cover gallery showcases all the covers from the 1983 reprint series run. Virtually every piece of art generated for publication as a result of this series is represented in this special edition. In these stories, Green Lantern Hal Jordan continued his usual cosmos-spanning adventures, as he used his amazing power ring to police Sector 2814 against universe-threatening menaces. Meanwhile, on Earth, Oliver Queen, the archer known as Green Arrow, was confronting menaces of a different kind: racism, poverty, drugs, and other social ills. When the two Emerald Allies meet again, Jordan is thrown for a loop as Queen takes him on a road trip across America (and eventually to other worlds) that opens his eyes to evils and social injustices he never imagined existed. During their trip, they are accompanied by guest stars such as Black Canary and GA's ex-sidekick Speedy, now Arsenal in THE TITANS — the latter of whom has a shocking surprise for his former mentor! (Note: at this time, there are no plans for a softcover edition of THE GREEN LANTERN/GREEN ARROW COLLECTION) This book is supported with a 4-color poster and house and trade ads. THE GREEN LANTERN/GREEN ARROW COLLECTION HC is a 368-page hardcover with a 4-color slipcase and dust jacket. It is advance-solicited this month and arrives in comic- book stores November 29 with a cover price of $75.00 U.S. Strange attractions JLA/WITCHBLADE The World's Greatest Super-Heroes come face to face with Top Cow's premier heroine, the sexy Witchblade, in this long-awaited crossover event!

Current Witchblade wielder Sara Pezzini comes to Gotham to visit her old friend Barbara Gordon — but a strange turn of events has the most powerful eldritch weapon in existence jumping from Sara to take control of Barbara, who just happens to be the JLA's Oracle! Now the Justice League has the difficult task of fighting one of its own! But with members like Wonder Woman and the Huntress among the JLA, and the Witchblade being drawn to female hosts, the League might be serving up exactly what the Witchblade needs for its own wicked ends!

Month after month, BATMAN: DARK VICTORY has been twisting and turning with murders and mysteries — only a few of which have been revealed. But now, all the answers will be exposed in the Prestige Format finale. BATMAN: DARK VICTORY #13 begins where the shocking events of #12 left off. Has Batman finally found the identity of the Hang Man killer who has splattered the calendar with blood by hanging a member of the Gotham City Police Force each month? What connection does the Hang Man have to Harvey Dent, and can the murders be stopped before the most horrifying killing of them all takes place? This time Batman is no longer alone in his quest for justice as a young, inexperienced Robin joins him. Witness the last stand of the crumbling criminal empire, as the Falcone Family faces off against Two-Face and a mob of freakish allies that includes the Joker, Mr. Freeze, Poison Ivy, and Solomon Grundy. Will all of Gotham City be left in ruins before the last gang war is over? And how will this change the lives of James Gordon, Harvey Dent, and Janice Porter? It will be a Victory — but for whom?

Pumpkinhead…Merv Pumpkinhead THE SANDMAN PRESENTS: MERV PUMPKINHEAD — AGENT OF DREAM Merv Pumpkinhead is one of the most popular characters in THE DREAMING, serving (albeit kicking and screaming) as the caretaker of the Sandman's castle for centuries. In the VERTIGO Prestige Format one-shot THE SANDMAN PRESENTS: MERV PUMPKINHEAD — AGENT OF DREAM, readers discover the shocking truth (at least the way Merv sees it): that Merv is much more important a figure than his humble janitorial profession might indicate. Merv believes that sweeping floors and cleaning toilets is just an elaborate cover to protect his true role as Merv Pumpkinhead, Super-spy Agent of Dream. Written by Bill Willingham (PROPOSITION PLAYER, THE DREAMING) with art by Mark Buckingham (DEATH: THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE, THE TITANS) and John Stokes (THE INVISIBLES) and a lavish painted cover by Kevin Nowlan ("Jack B. Quick" in TOMORROW STORIES), THE SANDMAN PRESENTS: MERV PUMPKINHEAD is a hilarious tale of Merv's secret double life. When powerful dreams go wrong, the Sandman takes care of them personally. But if lesser inhabitants of The Dreaming strike out on their own, then Merv is charged with reining them in. Our story switches back and forth between Merv's reality — where he is a dashing super-spy decked out in a tuxedo and seducing beautiful but deadly enemy agents — and real reality, where things are a little more mundane (though still dangerous). When Merv accepts a mission to apprehend an errant dream that has escaped from the Dream King's castle with a magical band of sand, he embarks on his most perilous adventure yet. But is the crimebuster's fascinating lifestyle of action and intrigue for real, or is it all in his big pumpkin head? This project is supported with house and trade ads. THE SANDMAN PRESENTS: MERV PUMPKINHEAD — AGENT OF DREAM is a 48-page VERTIGO Prestige Format one-shot suggested for mature readers.

"DEVIL'S NIGHT" WildStorm Annuals The demons and ghosts of our nightmares have found a herald in Ghoulgotha, and he's about to enter our world…with a vengeance! Facing this threat head-on is the preeminent mystic of the modern age, Magique — as she challenges Ghoulgotha, aiding the champions of the WildStorm Universe along the way. Magique's unforgettable debut comes as part of "Devil's Night," a storyline that runs through four WildStorm Annuals (released weekly in October), and presents Ghoulgotha's entrance and first round of sadistic tamperings with WildStorm's finest heroes. All four Annuals have covers by Lee Bermejo (SUPERMAN/GEN13, RESIDENT EVIL). Ghoulgotha's terrorizing begins as he is accidentally unleashed during a Halloween séance by everyone's favorite team of Gen-Actives in GEN13 ANNUAL 2000 #1, written by Ben Raab (LEGEND OF THE HAWKMAN) with art by Kaare Andrews (GEN-ACTIVE). Unknown to our heroes, it just happens to be the precise century, year, day, and time of night ideal for Ghoulgotha's return — and the mysterious Magique is ready. Then, in WILDCATS ANNUAL 2000 #1, written by Joe Casey (WILDCATS, MR. MAJESTIC) with art by Bermejo and Jim Royal, the mercenary known as Grifter is haunted by visions of his dead brother Max. How does this fit into Ghoulgotha's evil plans? This Annual features several guest-stars — both alive and dead — that WILDCATS fans have been clamoring for! In THE AUTHORITY ANNUAL 2000 #1, written by Casey with art by Cully Hamner (ROBIN), the dead are rising from their graves — some of them with super-powers! A human atom bomb from the Cold War has resumed his personal war with the former U.S.S.R., and a floating ghost carrier ship filled with dead Russian soldiers and super-spies is fighting back. Can the Authority stop them before somebody starts WW III? "Devil's Night" concludes in MAGIQUE ANNUAL 2000 #1, written by Raab with art by Jeff Moy and W.C. Carani (STAR TREK: VOYAGER — ELITE FORCE, LEGIONNAIRES). As the conclusion draws near, Magique calls upon the only souls she feels can truly help her cause: Deathblow Michael Cray and DIVINE RIGHT's Christie Blaze! Will the three heroes be able to thwart Ghoulgotha's bid for world domination? The stunning finale of "Devil's Night" features an unexpected sacrifice by all parties involved, setting the stage for the debut of an ongoing MAGIQUE series in November!

Now, in the extra-sized landmark NIGHTWING #50, Dick finds himself at a crossroads, where he must make a difficult decision that could affect the kind of hero he chooses to be in the future.

In NIGHTWING #50, written by the regular creative team of writer Chuck Dixon (ROBIN, BIRDS OF PREY, Marvel Knights) and artists Greg Land (BIRDS OF PREY) and José Marzan, Jr. (ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN), Soames finally loses it and takes Arnot, and the entire Blüdhaven Police Headquarters, hostage.

Evidence presented here proves that he did not die in WWII, but lives yet today! Ten years ago, surviving Nazi scientists executed a bold and fantastic plan to save their Fuehrer by traveling back in time to snatch Hitler from the jaws of death. American agents thwarted this scheme and propelled Hitler back from whence he came. A temporal distortion catapulted Der Fuehrer's molecules into limbo until today, when Adolf Hitler, now a monstrous, metaphysical distortion of himself, is unleashed upon the America he sought to destroy six decades ago. Fate, in an attempt to balance this emergence of supreme evil, sends a Tibetan holy man, the Green Lama, to combat this resurrected monster. Creators John Villalpando and Bill Black bring this story to life. Also featured is a classic adventure from the 1940's when Hitler teams up with The Claw. The illustrated biography of Adolf Hitler, "The Man of Hate," by Bob Davis, is reprinted from 1941's Daredevil Battles Hitler. Cover by John Nadeau and John Dell.

RES. from Previews Vol. IX #11 (Nov99) FC, 32pg $2.50 ACG ROBIN MOORE'S GREEN BERETS LIMITED SIGNED EDITION From the author of The French Connection and limited to only 1,000 copies, Robin Moore has agreed to sign these new, updated editions as an exclusive for the comic book market. The Green Berets novel was adapted for the film by John Wayne and was quickly developed as a newspaper strip with the help of Joe Kubert and a comic book by Sam Glanzman. The book, film, and strip became the focus of protest during the anti-war movement of the late 60s which caused the demise of the newspaper strip. The book, as controversial as it was for the times, remained a best-seller for several years. With the previous edition long out of print, and with so few signed books by Moore in circulation, this is guaranteed to become an instant collector's item.

Fear of Comics spotlights the full range of Hernandez's talent. Stories include "Peripeteia," "All With a Big Hello," "Roy," "Heroin," "Glorified Magnified," "She Sleeps With Anybody But Me," and "Shout Ramirez and Her Very Best Friend, Dinky," and "Abraxas." Fear of Comics collects for the first time the very best of Hernandez's short fiction from the pages of his New Love comic book series, along with eight New Love covers and stories from Zero Zero, Vortex Comics, and a piece from Goody Good #1! MATURE READERS SC, 120pg, b&w $12.95 LOCAS IN LOVE by Jaime Hernandez Penny Century is the title of Hernandez's current ongoing Harvey Award-winning comic book series and this is the first collection, spotlighting the first four issues of the series. Although Penny Century refers to one of Hernandez's most popular characters — a voluptuous platinum- blonde heiress whose wealth affords her the luxury of indulging her fantasy life as a costumed superheroine-cum-bon vivant — the title Penny Century functions more as a catch-phrase for the optimistic mood of the series, in which anything can and does happen; where seemingly unrelated stories when read together give texture to a larger canvas. This mood is set with the opening story, the eponymously titled "Penny Century," in which a lonely man named Ray Dominguez, newly relocated to Los Angeles, can't get the affair he had last year with the titular heroine out of his head. Ray's stories are interspersed throughout other shorts from Hernandez's extended cast of characters. One of the book's centerpieces is the stand-alone "Home School," an enchanting tale of sibling love and rivalry starring two of Hernandez's favorite characters, Maggie and Izzy, as little girls. The story, which earned him another coveted Harvey Award for "Best Single Issue," has drawn comparisons to the work of Charles Schulz for its quietly poignant exploration of the human condition through the minds of children. Plus, this gorgeous book also includes Maggie & Hopey Color Fun, a 24-page, full-color romp starring Hernandez's two most popular characters. Bueno! MATURE READERS SC, 120pg, PC $14.95 EIGHTBALL #1 — CURRENT PRINTING by Daniel Clowes And so we come back to the beginning again! Finally back in print, this issue of the critically acclaimed Eightball series has become one of the most successful black-and-white independents of the last 10 years! This big 32-page premiere issue includes the first chapter of the epic horror series, "Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron," the last real Lloyd Llewellyn adventure, "The Laffin' Spittin' Man," and much more funny, chilling, outrageous, groundbreaking, superbly drawn work by Daniel Clowes! This issue was the 1989 winner of two Harvey Awards for "Best New Comic of 1989" and "Best Single Comic of 1989." MATURE READERS b&w, 32pg $3.95 MAIL-ORDER BRIDE by Mark Kalesniko Mark Kalesniko, creator of the Harvey Award-nominated Why Did Pete Duel Kill Himself?, is back with an even more powerful, all-new graphic novel. This adept look at life after a Korean mail order bride arrives to meet her Canadian husband defies anyone who has an opinion (but no experience) regarding the little-known realm of mail order marriages. Monty Wheeler, a pathetic, emasculate, 39-year-old virgin struggling with his own societal demons, expects Kyung Seo to fulfill his female Asian fantasy stereotype: domestic, obedient, hardworking and loyal. But Kyung, tall and accentless, is much more human that Monty is ready to accept. Kyung soon finds, in addition to predictable dissatisfaction with her husband's inane expectations, outspoken inspiration in Eve Wong, a western-born Asian woman. Is Eve Kyung's ticket to rebellious self- fulfillment… or do her actions not always ring true? Kalesniko adroitly juxtaposes Monty's non- sexual, juvenile obsessions with the character's objectification of Kyung, drawing a direct line between loneliness, consumerism, and how the need for order in one's life compromises the approach to matters of the heart. Kalesniko, a Disney animator with several motion picture credits, including Mulan and The Lion King, employs an elegant and delicate brush stroke to capture the story of this fragile relationship. MATURE READERS SC, 264pg, b&w $19.95 THE COMICS JOURNAL #228 In October, TCJ presents an odd couple if ever there was one: Dan DeCarlo and Ted Jouflas! Mike Curtis (Shanda the Panda) talks to Dan DeCarlo about drawing Archie and the gang for decades, and the current legal scuffles over creator credit for Josie and the Pussycats. Also, Gary Groth questions alternative creator Ted Jouflas (Filthy, Scary) about his uniquely disturbing artistic vision. In addition, you can count on the usual servings of news, reviews, and criticism that you have come to expect from the Journal. Covers by Dan DeCarlo and Ted Jouflas. MATURE READERS Magazine, 112pg, b&w $5.95 UNDERWORLD VOLUME 4 TP: DUH by Kaz Think of it as a Peanuts for paranoids, a Pogo for punks, a Popeye for the post-modern. Above all else, think funny, real gut-bucket, hold-your-bowels funny. Of course, you're thinking of Kaz's fourth collection of his Harvey Award-nominated weekly comic strip, Underworld. Underworld has the look and feel of a classic comic strip, but upon closer inspection, it's every bit as warped, biting, and hilarious as today's jaded audiences demand. Underworld is stuffed with almost-parodies of famous comic strip characters, featuring a healthy dose of cigarette- smoking cats; cute, little saccharin-cuddly creatures, grim reapers, media-damaged kids, and more — all destined for a sardonic smashing in typically-acerbic Kaz fashion. Woeful whimsy and vicious pathos have never been so funny! MATURE READERS SC, 6x8, 96pg, b&w $9.95 POP LIFE #5 by Ho Che Anderson & Wilfred Santiago Ho Che Anderson's compelling comic series about the ubane lives of young city dwellers comes to it's conclusion with this issue — and what an issue it is! In the first of three stories, Krista and Dagmar have a long conversation in a diner — but this is no "My Dinner with Andre!" — the focus of their exchange is large-breasted women! Then, watch Faith as she goes on a three-day bender of drugs and cheap sex on her 30th birthday. And finally, we get to know the music writer Blandina Steeltrap (she "wrote" the profile on the band in past issues of Poplife) through a collection of her diary entries. With the intriguing contemporary art style of (King creator) Anderson and Wilfred Santiago popping out from the page, it'll be a shame to see this series end. Cardstock covers.

Taylor & Shawn Pacheco A beautifully twisted fairy tale for the person who's been held hostage by their inner child, Doll Parts is the story of an innocent family of toys left alone to fend for themselves in the big city after their famous creator dies during an artistic "experiment" gone wrong. Doll Parts successfully takes adult themes and re-creates them from a playfully unique, almost childlike point of view. A great story, cool poetry and some of the most far-out artwork you're ever likely to see make this book so strange that the artist's own mother describes it as being "...like a mosh pit between Dr. Seuss and Geof Darrow during a Rob Zombie concert."

Not a "where-are-they-now" book, Former Child Star asks the questions: Why are they where they are now? Why do most ex-kid actors turn out just fine, while others dwell in tabloid (or worse) hell?

She finds that the real curse faced by these familiar faces is our "celebrity-or-bust" culture. Drawing on first-hand interviews with players who appeared on My Three Sons, The Brady Bunch, One Day at a Time, Diff'rent Strokes, and more, Ryan weaves a compelling tale that is much a treatise on the culture of celebrity as it is a really cool book about kids we grew up watching grow up.
