Akira, is set in the post-apocalypse Neo-Tokyo of 2019, a vast metropolis built on the ashes of a Tokyo annihilated by an apocalyptic blast of unknown power that triggered World War III. The lives of two streetwise teenage friends, Tetsuo and Kaneda, change forever when dormant paranormal abilities begin to waken in Tetsuo, who becomes a target for a shadowy government operation, a group who will stop at nothing to prevent another catastrophe like that which leveled Tokyo. And at the core of their motivation is a raw, all- consuming fear: a fear of someone — or something — of unthinkably monstrous power known only as…Akira! And Akira is about to rise! Collected in six massive volumes, Akira has been painstakingly reproduced in its original, mind-blowing black- and-white majesty as never-before-seen in an English-translated edition.

SHAZAM!: POWER OF HOPE Oversized SC From the fan-favorite team behind SUPERMAN: PEACE ON EARTH and BATMAN: WAR ON CRIME comes the third entry in the oversized tabloid format series that has revolutionized comics. SHAZAM!: POWER OF HOPE marks the latest collaboration between Emmy Award-winning writer/producer Paul Dini (BATMAN: HARLEY QUINN) and multiple award-winning Alex Ross (KINGDOM COME, UNCLE SAM). Perhaps no classic comic-book character embodies the spirit of youth and optimism as thoroughly as Captain Marvel — the wish fulfillment of every child who ever dreamed of having super powers and taking flight. In a personal story told from the hero's point of view, both young Billy Batson and his alter ego, Captain Marvel, devote themselves to keeping hope alive by granting the requests of a local hospital's children — in a sense, making their wishes come true. Powerfully written by Dini, with staggering painted art by Ross that combines traditional comic- book storytelling and the illustrated-text format of storybooks, SHAZAM!: POWER OF HOPE finds our hero taking a direct hand upon meeting a boy who has been injured by domestic violence. Deeply affected by the encounter, our story shows just how human the World's Mightiest Mortal truly is. This project is supported with a 4-color poster and house and trade ads. SHAZAM!: POWER OF HOPE is a 64-page oversized softcover book (measuring 10" x 13 1/2"), coedited by Charles Kochman and Joey Cavalieri. It arrives in comic-book stores November 22 with a cover price of $9.95 U.S. BATMAN: TURNING POINTS The evolving relationship between Batman and Commissioner James Gordon, from their very first encounters to the complex friendship that exists between them today, is the focus of BATMAN: TURNING POINTS — a 5-issue "Fifth Week" event running through every week of November. The five 32-page issues are linked thematically, but may be enjoyed individually. Read as a whole, they give a sense of context and scope to Batman and Gordon and the major turning points of their relationship. The issues are also set apart by distinctive designs and art styles (but with a unifying trade dress), giving a sense of the passage of time. Set shortly after the events of BATMAN: YEAR ONE, BATMAN: TURNING POINTS #1 — written by Greg Rucka with art by Steve Lieber (reuniting the Eisner Award-winning team of Whiteout: Melt) and cover by Javier Pulido (ROBIN: YEAR ONE) — finds Gordon and the Dark Knight each struggling to earn the other's trust. TURNING POINTS #2 — written by Ed Brubaker (BATMAN, DEADENDERS) with art by legendary Silver Age artist Joe Giella and cover by Ty Templeton — is set during the time when Batman first takes on a partner — Robin — and explores the moral implications of putting someone so young in the face of danger each and every night. In #3 — written by Brubaker with art by Dick Giordano (BIRDS OF PREY) and Bob Smith (CATWOMAN), with cover by Joe Kubert — set shortly after the events in BATMAN: THE KILLING JOKE, Gordon and Batman reevaluate their relationship in the wake of the tragic shooting of Barbara Gordon and the death of the second Robin. In TURNING POINTS #4 — written by Chuck Dixon (ROBIN, NIGHTWING, BIRDS OF PREY) with art by Brent Anderson (KURT BUSIEK'S ASTRO CITY) and cover by Howard Chaykin — Gordon confronts a new Dark Knight, Azrael, who has taken the mantle of the Bat during the "Knightfall" era, and the vicious methods he employs. Finally, in TURNING POINTS #5, written by Rucka with art by Paul Pope (HEAVY LIQUID) and Claude St. Aubin (GREEN LANTERN: CIRCLE OF FIRE), with cover by Pope, we return to the present day, where the events of "No Man's Land" have made Gordon reassess one final time his relationship with Gotham and the Dark Knight. Gordon's readiness to walk away from it all has a profound effect on Batman and sets the stage for several major storylines that will dominate the Bat-titles in 2001! This project is supported with a 4-color poster and house and trade ads. BATMAN: TURNING POINTS is a 5-issue miniseries released weekly in November and is coedited by Bob Schreck and Matt Idelson. The 32-page issue #1 arrives in comic-book stores November 1 with a cover price of $2.50 U.S. GREEN LANTERN/SUPERMAN: LEGENDS OF THE GREEN FLAME In 1987, a year before the start of his critically acclaimed and award-winning run on THE SANDMAN, writer Neil Gaiman penned an amazing tale that featured Superman and Green Lantern Hal Jordan on a perilous soul- searching journey. Originally commissioned for ACTION COMICS WEEKLY, the story was never illustrated or published. Now, over a decade later, this "lost" tale has been unearthed and finally is being published — utilizing some of today's finest artists to illustrate it, in the 48-page Prestige Format one-shot GREEN LANTERN/SUPERMAN: LEGENDS OF THE GREEN FLAME. Featuring a cover by Frank Miller and art by an array of talents that includes Eddie Campbell, Matt Wagner, Kevin Nowlan, Mark Buckingham, Jason Little, John Totleben, Jim Aparo, Mike Allred, Eric Shanower, Arthur Adams, and Terry Austin, LEGENDS centers around Hal questioning his place in the universe, and the role he was given as the intergalactic policeman of sector 2814. Seeking the advice of Clark Kent, he travels to Metropolis where the two heroes plan to spend the day together. But a visit to a new museum offers a surprise for Hal, as he is shocked to discover what appears to be an odd- looking, dusty old lantern on display. A green lantern. While investigating the relic, which Hal believes to be an old power battery, the lantern explodes with energy, sending the pair on an unbelievable journey taking them everywhere imaginable (and some not) within the battery itself, as they encounter the likes of Deadman, the Phantom Stranger and many others. This project is supported with house and trade ads. GREEN LANTERN/SUPERMAN: LEGENDS OF THE GREEN FLAME is a 48-page Prestige Format one-shot edited by Bob Schreck. It arrives in comic-book stores November 8 with a cover price of $5.95 U.S. JLA: A LEAGUE OF ONE HC One of the year's grandest, most breathtaking adventures unfolds in this 112-page instant classic that continues the proud new tradition of JLA original hardcover graphic novels begun by last year's smash hit JLA: EARTH 2. Written and fully painted by the brilliantly gifted Christopher Moeller (SHIVA'S WAR), JLA: A LEAGUE OF ONE is an epic story in which the Justice League is divided against itself in a heartbreaking battle to the death. An ancient, evil dragon awakens from his subterranean slumber once again to menace a world that's forgotten that such monsters of flame and guile ever existed. But the new world of today has its own Round Table of protectors in the form of the JLA. When Wonder Woman goes to the infallible Amazon oracle and learns that the JLA is destined to die in battle against the dragon, she must make the most difficult decision of her life — embarking on a terrible, unwinnable quest to thwart fate, putting her at odds with those she loves most. In JLA: A LEAGUE OF ONE, Superman, Batman and the rest of the League learn that while some heroes may be Wonder Woman's match, none surpass her. JLA: A LEAGUE OF ONE is a sumptuous visual feast, a rich tapestry of storytelling that is poetic in its soaring beauty. This project is supported with a 4-color poster and house and trade ads.

The one-shot LEX 2000 features stories by Jeph Loeb (SUPERMAN) and Greg Rucka (DETECTIVE COMICS), with art by Tony Harris (STARMAN, JSA LIBERTY FILES), Dwayne Turner (Spawn: The Undead), Doug Mahnke (ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN), and Todd Nauck (YOUNG JUSTICE) with a painted cover by Glen Orbik, and traces Lex Luthor's rise to power. Included are a look into Lex's personal life, the world's reaction to his candidacy (including the real world's reaction), Batman's attempt to regain the Kryptonite ring that Luthor has in his possession, and many more surprises! Ultimately, SUPERMAN: LEX 2000 features the winner of the DCU Presidential campaign — with some possibly surprising results that may affect not only all of Superman's titles for some time to come, but those of the whole DC Universe. Regardless of the outcome, no Superman or DC fan can afford to miss this pivotal one-shot — which leads into the rest of Superman's books in November. This project is supported with campaign buttons, a 4-color poster and house and trade ads.

WONDER WOMAN #164 begins a 4-part storyline plotted and pencilled by Jimenez — joined by master scripter J.M. DeMatteis (ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN) and inker Andy Lanning (LEGION LOST, JLA/TITANS), with continuing covers by Adam Hughes — featuring Batman, his allies and his greatest foes. Diana travels to Gotham City to stop the Joker, Scarecrow and Poison Ivy from turning the Dark Knight's city into the source of a worldwide conflagration. But the Bat- villains have formed a mysterious alliance with some familiar Wonder Woman characters that gives them greater powers than they've ever dreamed! Jimenez's love for Wonder Woman and her supporting cast is evident in every beautifully rendered, finely detailed panel as he produces the most personal and passionate artwork of his career. The stories that Jimenez has conjured return an emotional resonance to Wonder Woman, while delivering heart-stopping action and pulse-pounding excitement. Future story arcs in Jimenez's year-long stint will feature other special DC guest stars (with some surprise cowriters joining in on scripting chores), as many well-known foes return, deadlier than ever. Jimenez reestablishes Wonder Woman's role, presence and prominence in the DC Universe, culminating in a major event next year that will forever change the Amazon Princess.

Consult your retailer for pricing information. Because you demanded it! CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS TP Worlds lived. Worlds died. And the DC Universe was never the same. CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS, the monumental 12-issue maxiseries that redefined Comics' Original Universe and dramatically altered DC's most well-established super-heroes, is collected in a much-demanded (by fans and retailers) trade paperback edition — just in time for holiday gift-giving! Early-solicited this month, it's an affordable chance to read the first companywide crossover to truly deliver what it promised: lasting change — as seen in the deaths of some of DC's most beloved characters, such as the original Supergirl and Silver Age Flash Barry Allen. Written by Marv Wolfman with pencils by George Pérez and inks by Dick Giordano, Mike DeCarlo and Jerry Ordway, CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS finds the multiple worlds that once were a hallmark of the DC Universe — Earths 1, 2, 3, 4, S, X, and more — under siege from a mysterious force that quickly claims the lives of billions of people. But a strange being called the Monitor has gathered heroes from many of the endangered worlds in hopes of thwarting the force, controlled by his evil counterpart, the Anti-Monitor. As the battle rages and the true stakes are revealed, even the sacrifices of Supergirl and the Flash are not enough to stop the universe-shaking transformation that lies in store — a change that made the DC Universe more accessible than ever before. Also solicited this month is a new printing of the CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS POSTER — reproducing the stunning wraparound artwork from the cover of the CRISIS trade, painted by Alex Ross over pencils by Pérez. The 65" w x 28" h poster also comes with a key that identifies all 562 characters! This project is supported with house ads. CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS TP is a 368-page trade paperback book.

THE AUTHORITY: UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT TP collects issues #9-16 of the hit WILDSTORM series, featuring the "changing of the guard" from the original creative team of Warren Ellis, Bryan Hitch and Paul Neary to the equally exciting new team of Mark Millar, Frank Quitely and Trevor Scott. In "Outer Dark," the final AUTHORITY story arc by Ellis, Hitch and Neary, the team faces a godlike alien invader, who has returned to Earth fighting mad after eons. And as the battle comes to an end, so does the life of Authority spearhead Jenny Sparks, the Spirit of the Twentieth Century. UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT also collects "The Nativity," the sold-out first story arc from the current AUTHORITY team of writer Millar and artists Quitely & Scott (who provide a new cover for this collection). The now Jenny-less heroes find themselves world celebrities, as well as the world's policemen, and must stop a diabolical super-genius with a legion of super-soldiers as he attempts to capture the infant Spirit of the Twenty-First Century and mold her to suit his own nefarious plans.

Scott Campbell & Humberto Ramos, will each account for 25% of the print run). THE HOUSE ON THE BORDERLAND HC It sits astride two worlds — our bleak world of colorless normality, and the realms of cosmic horror where reason may yet have a last chance to conquer fear. To this ancient dwelling, a challenger comes — to exorcise its shadowed curse, to plumb its pits of ultimate perversity and, perhaps, to prevent evil's emergence into the present. Forgotten until now, the House on the Borderland awaits you. Open the door. Enter. Rediscover the fear. Deal with it. A timeless classic oft-read and reread since its initial publication in London in 1908, THE HOUSE ON THE BORDERLAND, a tale by William Hope Hodgson, is a story of supernatural paranoia that blends science fiction, fantasy and Lovecraftian horror in a potent mix. Now comics legend and illustrator Richard Corben (HELLBLAZER, Heavy Metal, Den), long recognized in the field as an innovator and delineator of cosmic horror, and longtime collaborator and scripter Simon Revelstroke bring their considerable passion and graphic expertise to this stunning 96-page original hardcover VERTIGO graphic-novel adaptation of this ageless tale, adding an original framing sequence that taps a contemporary vein. Featuring an introduction by comics legend Alan Moore that offers an appreciation of Hodgson's contribution to the horror pantheon, THE HOUSE ON THE BORDERLAND is a must-read for true connoisseurs of the genre, offering a phantasmagoric tour of the razor-thin line between fantasy and reality, life and sleep, hope and death. This project is supported with a 4-color poster and house, trade, and outreach ads. THE HOUSE ON THE BORDERLAND is a 96-page VERTIGO hardcover edited by Axel Alonso and is suggested for mature readers. It arrives in comic-book stores November 22 with a cover price of $29.95 U.S. BATMAN: HARVEST BREED HC From the brilliant writer/painter behind the compelling ENEMY ACE: WAR IDYLL graphic novel comes a horrific tale of vengeance and consequence. Written and painted by George Pratt, BATMAN: HARVEST BREED is a spine-tingling 96-page original hardcover graphic novel that will leave you on the edge of your seat. A series of grisly murders in Gotham City leads Commissioner James Gordon to reopen the case file on similar homicides from years past — ones that have gone unresolved all these years. The murders' decidedly demonic overtones bring Batman into the case, determined to uncover the truth behind the killings. The trail of dead bodies leads to a very unlikely suspect, who may be the source of unspeakable evil. But what is her connection to the murders? Renowned as both writer and painter, Pratt's ENEMY ACE: WAR IDYLL set a standard for painted graphic novels and he outdoes himself with HARVEST BREED, mixing elements of contemporary comics, demonic villains, and the battlefields of a long-ended war. This project is supported with house and trade ads. BATMAN: HARVEST BREED is a 96-page hardcover edited by Matt Idelson. It arrives in comic-book stores November 15 with a cover price of $24.95 U.S. A new kind of Hell HELLBLAZER: HARD TIME TP John Constantine has found himself in a new kind of hell: a maximum-security penitentiary. Throughout his sordid career, not much has scared Constantine. As long as he's had his smokes and his freedom, he's always been in control. But what happens when those things are taken away from him? The unexpected answers play out in the HELLBLAZER: HARD TIME TP — a collection of the first HELLBLAZER storyline by series writer Brian Azzarello (100 BULLETS, JONNY DOUBLE), with art by legendary horror artist Richard Corben (Den) — artist of this month's extraordinary THE HOUSE ON THE BORDERLAND hardcover — and a new cover by Tim Bradstreet. Stripped of his trademark trench coat, his pack of cigarettes, and the safety net of his personal connections, Constantine must adapt to an environment unlike any other he's experienced — a hard place governed by even harder men, where weakness is rewarded by death...or worse. For Constantine, always used to being the baddest of the bad, survival will require learning a whole new set of rules as he navigates a treacherous maze of ruthless gangs, brutal guards and, eventually, the prison's formidable overlord. And once his education is complete, then Constantine can begin to teach others the rules of his game. And that's when things start to get really interesting... HELLBLAZER: HARD TIME TP is a 128-page VERTIGO trade paperback and is suggested for mature readers. It arrives in comic-book stores November 1 with a cover price of $9.95 U.S. STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION® — THE GORN CRISIS HC During the Dominion War, as seen in the last two seasons of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine®, there was one Federation starship notably absent from the action — the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-E. Where were Captain Jean- Luc Picard and crew, and why weren't they in the thick of battle? Best-selling authors Kevin J. Anderson and Rebecca Moesta (Dune: House Atreides, Young Jedi Knights) answer that question in WILDSTORM'S first fully painted Star Trek original hardcover graphic novel, STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION® — THE GORN CRISIS. As the name reveals, the Enterprise-E was off in another part of space, dealing with a rogue force of Gorn (the lizard creatures from the original series) trying to use the distraction of the Dominion War to launch their own attack against Starfleet, in revenge for the way they were treated by Captain James T. Kirk and crew a century before. With beautifully painted art and cover by Igor Kordey (Tarzan/Batman: Claws of the Catwoman), this stunning book takes us deeper into the world of the Gorn than we've ever been, giving new insights into one of the most popular alien races from the original Star Trek series. This graphic novel is destined to be a new STAR TREK classic and a fan favorite. This project is supported with house and trade ads.

JLA: ACT OF GOD What's the worst thing that could happen to the World's Greatest Super-Heroes? In one instant, without any warning, a mysterious flash of black light is felt all around the world. The result? All the super-powered individuals on Earth — whether meta-human, alien or of another race — lose all their super-human abilities at once. Suddenly Superman is unable to save a town from a flash flood. The Flash is unable to outrace a bullet that ends up killing a police officer. And many, many more heroes are left completely and utterly helpless to save lives and fight crime as usual. In JLA: ACT OF GOD, a 3-issue Elseworlds Prestige Format miniseries written by Doug Moench (BATMAN: HAUNTED GOTHAM) with art and cover by Dave Ross (Thrax, West Coast Avengers) and George Freeman (LEAVE IT TO CHANCE), the repercussions of the "black light" event are felt not only by the JLA, but by nearly all of Earth's heroes. How did this happen, and why? A villainous revolt is ruled out as Earth's super-powered criminals are powerless as well. The government isn't saying anything — probably because they don't mind that there's now a more level playing field. There seems to be no logical explanation for any of this — other than it's simply an "Act of God." With Earth's mightiest heroes stripped of their powers, the bulk of their duties now lie in the hands of nonpowered heroes such as Batman, Black Canary and Blue Beetle. But there are sinister dealings afoot — and the heroes of the world will need their abilities returned in order to face them effectively. With no answers to why any of this has happened, things are looking hopeless. Will the extra burden on the nonpowered heroes result in the death of a JLA member? This project is supported with house and trade ads. JLA: ACT OF GOD is a 3-issue Elseworlds Prestige Format miniseries edited by Andrew Helfer.

New York is now a gleaming, ultra-modern showcase of super hero technology. But, this concentration of power has driven the world's major villains to band together to destroy it. BIG TOWN is about the city and the many and varied people who live and work there, including reimagined versions of the FF, Dr. Doom, Magneto, Namor, the Red Skull, Ultron, the Hulk, Speedball, the Avengers and the X-Men." • THE FORMAT: Four-issue limited series.

Monthly. FC, 24pg $2.95 KAMIKAZE: 1946 #2 by Ted Nomura AP Core Title! "Operation Olympic" In August 1945, two atomic bombs eliminated the need for the mass invasion of Japan. Had the invasion occurred, the expected Allied casualty rate was over one million. With the planned pre-emptive poison gas attack, the expected Japanese casualties were over 20 million, and that was even before the landing invasion began. The massive Allied assault of Japan would've destroyed all of Europe, but the disaster was prevented. That was real history. In this alternate history of Kamikaze: 1946, the unavailability of the American A-bombs due to several "What if?" events forces the Allies to invade Japan before the Soviets get their chance, starting with Operation Olympic, the invasion of Kyushu, Japan, in November 1945. In desperation, the Japanese will throw everything they have against the invaders, including cave-hidden rocket kamikazes flown by schoolboys, human-wave attacks by women and old men armed with only spears, suicide mini- subs, and perhaps the most dangerous of all — the Fukuryus (Crouching Dragons) — kamikaze frogmen armed with 22-lb, impact-fused "lunge" mines against the Allied landing crafts. At the end of the real war, 1,200 of members of that last force were ready for combat, with 2,800 more in training. Judge the greatest mass human holocaust that might have been prevented by the Allied forces in real history, in August 1945. Bimonthly FC, 24pg $2.95 AP Picks — It's Ninja High School Month!

During the Dominion War, as seen in the last two seasons of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, there was one Federation starship notably absent from the action — the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-E. Where were Captain Jean- Luc Picard and crew, and why weren't they in the thick of battle? Best-selling authors Kevin J. Anderson and Rebecca Moesta (Dune: House Atreides, Young Jedi Knights) answer that question in WildStorm's first fully-painted Star Trek hardcover graphic novel, Star Trek: The Next Generation — The Gorn Crisis. As the name reveals, the Enterprise-E was off in another part of space, dealing with a rogue Gorn force trying to use the distraction of the Dominion War to launch their own attack against Starfleet, in revenge for the way they were treated by Captain James T. Kirk and crew a century before. With beautifully painted interiors and cover by Igor Kordey (Tarzan/Batman: Claws of the Catwoman), this stunning book takes us deeper into the world of the Gorn than we've ever been, giving new insights into one of the most popular and beloved alien races from the original Star Trek series.

This poorly drawn, two-dimensional criminal is out of jail, and seeking revenge on the person who put him there… somebody tied to the 7 Guys of Justice! But who is it? The answer may surprise you. Also, witness the heroes go up against the Shakespeare-spouting villain called Firebard! And who is Matt Mason, Dogsitter… and what does he want with Nightie Knight? All of this plus Lord Talon, Ugly Monkey, the Surprise, and the usual slap of comedy fans of The 7 Guys have come to expect! Cover by Joshua C. Rowe and David Elder. b&w, 32pg $2.00 FANTAGRAPHICS COMICS JOURNAL #229 In November, The Comics Journal showcases a veteran and a relative newcomer: Tom Sutton and Ed Brubaker. Sutton's work has appeared in dozens of titles from practically every publisher in comics; from Warren's Eerie to Marvel's Planet of the Apes to Charlton's Haunted, Sutton has been a leading creator in the horror genre for decades. Brubaker, in contrast, hit the scene with the wave of autobiographical comics creators in the late 80s/early 90s. His work on such titles as Lowlife and An Accidental Death has drawn critical raves, and his newest work, Vertigo's Deadenders, is bound to follow suit. Also in November, TCJ talks to Joe Sacco (Palestine) about his newest triumph, Safe Area Gorazde. Packed with all the news, reviews, and all the criticism that can fit, it's Comics Journal #229! MATURE READERS Magazine, b&w, 112pg $5.95 DEATH & CANDY #2 by Max Andersson Make sure you pick up one of the creepiest and darkly written satirical comics out there today — Death & Candy! The first issue, from Pixy creator and Zero Zero contributor Max Andersson, was an unmitigated shadowy success and this second issue is sure not to disappoint. In "Sightseeing," the family drops in for a surprise visit to find a faceless corpse under the coffee table; "Tractor-Girl" shows up — fresh off the pages of the international hit Comix 2000; in "Skledar," Max Andersson himself shows up on the page to make commentary on lucrative "war diaries"; and finally, the back cover is a delightful holiday treat "Tractor-Girl's Christmas" — in full color! MATURE READERS b&w, 32pg $4.95 OPUS VOLUME 2 With his previous book, BWS: Opus Vol. 1 (Fantagraphics' all-time quickest selling book), Barry Windsor-Smith joined the ranks of the experiences and researchers at the new frontiers of consciousness and the revolutionary crossroads of reality. After astonishing encounters with precognition and time loops the artist found himself on a transcendental journey into another dimension of time and space. Now, in the second volume of the OPUS series, Windsor-Smith continues his autobiography called Time Rise. Following his bizarre interdimensional journey, the young superstar of Marvel Comics' Conan the Barbarian fame discovers that he has acquired advanced psychic abilities! This is the true story of the artist's struggles to deal with the transcendental, yet maddening, effects of meta-consciousness. Barry Windsor-Smith tells his story with engaging candor; although confused and barely able to cope with his world turned upside down and inside out, the writer/artist of Storyteller, Adastra in Africa, Weapon X and so many other popular features, brings humor and humanism to a real- life adventure that makes the plot of The Sixth Sense seem tame. In addition to Windsor-Smith's groundbreaking text, Opus is, of course, also a deluxe art collection, featuring the renowned artist's never-before-published paintings and drawings, as well as gorgeous, evocative artworks culled from over thirty years of comics art, comic strips, illustration, and sketchbooks. Also available in a signed and limited edition RES. from Previews Vol. X #2 (Feb00) HC, 8x11, 208pg, FC $49.95 COLA MADNESS by Gary Panter Funny Garbage Press has unearthed one of the great comics finds of the last 20 years: an original, never before published 200 page "Jimbo" graphic novel drawn by Gary Panter in 1983. Cola Madness is the most ambitious and sustained comics narrative of Panter's career, and it's remarkable that it has remained hidden for so long. The acknowledged "Father of Punk Art," contributor to RAW, and co-creator of Pee Wee's Playhouse, Panter originally conceived and drew Cola Madness for a Japanese audience, and as such utilizes a simple two-panel per page layout and employs an unusually- accessible narrative style to tell the story of a mysterious tribal figure named Kokomo, who eventually falls asleep to dream a wild, 150-page picaresque 'interlude' starring Jimbo and Bob War. In this allegory of man against nature, the two careen through a synthetic fantasy world where Jack-in-the-Bell-Mc-Taco restaurants mask sewage treatment plants, while a nature symbol gone berserk unravels everything. The book comes full-circle upon Kokomo's awakening, as Panter infuses equal parts Jack Kirby, Phillip K. Dick, and punk-rock music to create one of the best graphic novels to come out in any year. HC, 209-pg $24.95 STAR OF THE MONTH EIGHTBALL: LIKE A VELVET GLOVE CAST IN IRON by Daniel Clowes Never thought you'd see this again, did you? Back for the first time in years — with a brand-new design — Daniel Clowes masterpiece of surrealistic and cinematic low-life drama is better than ever! Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron collects all 10 chapters of Eightball's terrifying and fascinating journey into madness. As Clay Loudermilk attempts to unravel the mysteries behind a snuff film, he finds himself involved with an increasingly bizarre cast of characters, including a pair of sadistic cops who carve a strange symbol into the heel of Clay's foot; a horny over-the-hill suburban woman whose sexual encounter with a mysterious water creature produced a grotesquely misshapen, but no less horny, mutant daughter; a dog with no orifices whatsoever (it has to be fed by injection); two ominous victims of extremely bad hair implants; a charismatic Manson-like cult leader who plans to kidnap a famous advice columnist and many more! This edition has a brand-new cover, new title and end pages. Plus, being the perfectionist that Clowes is, there are tweaked and re-drawn panels that really make this a transcendent piece of storytelling art!

You can make up your own mind about which kind Junior is. From the mind of Hate creator Peter Bagge comes the collected comics of that oaf we've all grown to love but wished was in one place. Stories in this issue: "Reasons Never to Leave the House"; the ironically titled "The Thinker"; the optimistic "Life Can Be Beautiful" (no, it's not that Italian movie); and "Let's Follow Him."

GIGERS TAROT SET ENGLISH EDITION This collectible group of 22 beautifully designed Tarot cards is available in a handsome boxed set in either Greman or English language. Each card is a careful reproduction on one of Giger's Paintings, and is interpreted by philosopher-magician Akron in a booklet of instruction, included with the set. To Akron, Tarot is like an inexhaustible mine of symbols, suited to manifest Giger's aesthetics of apocalypse in literary style. Akron resorts to the tradition of the Tarot in order to convey the messages of Baphomet – a medieval secret symbol – that is of special significance in Giger's work. H.R. Giger is a painter, Oscar-awards winner and cult figure of an international artistic community, for which his aesthetics of the apocalypse represent inspiration and spiritual healing. His pictures are gripping, indeed sometimes shocking visions – they shake us from our unconsciousness as they relentlessly point to the hidden inner world of all things. The art of Giger is a journey to the most ancient destination of mankind: to birth and death, love and war, hope and the destruction of life.

In 1915, the magazine protested Birth of a Nation's release and yet in the 1940s James Agee, the magazine's chief film critic, sung its praises and disputed that it was racist. Other contributors lamented the dubious moral effect cinema had on the masses while Sergei Einstein, in a 1927 article, celebrated the physiological and psychological impact of his film Battleship Potemkin. The magazine was there during the first furious labor struggles in Hollywood and was one of the few voices protesting the McCarthyite witch hunt in Hollywood. Throughout its coverage it has been concerned with the questions of censorship and free speech as well as the monopolistic power of Hollywood, and its influence on the wider political discourse.

Not because his work as a director, although he has directed more than 60 movies, and not because of his success as a producer – although, as the title of his autobiography boasts, he has made more than 100 pictures and never lost a dime. He might be one of the most influential filmmakers because, along the way to directing and producing more than 200 films, he ran a de facto school for young filmmakers, the alumni of which have garnered more money and awards than any other group in history. Among them are James Cameron, Francis Ford Coppola, and Jonathan Demme. Through research and a series of interviews with Corman, the authors trace his humble beginnings in post WWII Hollywood to his current mythic status as the godfather of all independent moviemakers.

Writer, producer, and director Wes Craven has successfully tapped into the horror vein for over 30 years, serving up scary, funny, hip thrillers that demand a second look. His films have been both critical and commercial successes, most notably Nightmare on Elm Street, which spawned a series or sequels and made Craven (and his creation Freddy Kruger) an international sensation in the 1980s. But Craven's films have also become classics in a field that he continues to reinvent – the horror genre is still reeling from the impact of his most recent project, the brilliant Scream series. With Screams and Nightmares, author Brian J. Robb covers Craven's entire career, from his low-budget beginnings to his most recent box office hits. Every Craven film is covered – from the banned thriller The Last House on the Left and the cult classic The Hills Have Eyes to the outrageous Shocker and The People Under the Stairs. Through exclusive interviews with Craven, Robb provides in-depth accounts of the making of each of the films, and concludes with a section on the director's up-and- coming projects, including the third installment of the Scream series, Craven's foray into writing novels, and his numerous television projects.

The kind who seems to live in a garret, the kind who broods, the kind who seems to have intense and unusual relationships with lovers, the kind who can't be bothered to dress for the occasion. So what's he doing on the "A" list of Hollywood directors? The suits backed Burton for film after film because the quiet, anonymous, seemingly tortured young man can deliver. He was behind the box-office hits like Batman, Batman Returns, Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, Ed Wood, and Sleepy Hollow. How is it possible that Burton gets away with so much archaic eccentricity? Ken Hanke suggests in this unauthorized biography that Burton may be the real thing: a genius.
