ADULT MATERIAL Catalog, 24pg, b&w MSRP: $0.75 COMICS SECTION PREMIER VENDORS DARK HORSE COMICS KISS #1 by JOE CASEY and MEL RUBI; cover by J. SCOTT CAMPBELL The most ass-kicking rock band returns to comics, written by the most rockin' of young comics writers. Joe Casey (Superman, Wildcats, X-Men) presents a bold new direction for Kiss — years after the split-up of these four super-powered warriors, they've followed very separate paths. The Demon is a bounty hunter; The Starchild lives with a race of women warriors in South America; The Spaceman is cruising the solar system with no human contact; and The Catman's getting in touch with his bestial side. When Catman finally goes too far, the others know they have to band together to save the Catman's humanity. But there's another hand at work, pushing the Four Who Are One into a corner. This new comic, overseen by Gene Simmons, turns the ultimate rock-and-roll icons into the ultimate superhero team. Joe Casey, who's dealt with every kind of super power, to the delight of mainstream fans, gives Dark Horse a superhero book to rival any. Mel Rubi, hot off the superhero-style revamp of Joss Whedon's Angel, reinterprets Kiss with a dynamism rivalled only by their stage show, and J. Scott Campbell (Danger Girl) and Leinil Francis Yu (X-men, High Roads) trade off cover duties.

A little boy desperately attempts to drag his ronin father to safely, even if it costs him his own life; that same wandering samurai and his mortal enemy work together to save the frostbitten fingers of the same little boy, knowing they will eventually match swords again in a battle to the death; another samurai bites his own tongue, killing himself and locking a dark secret in his grave. The code of the samurai is complex and rich with irony, which is why so few carry this code through life. But as we draw closer to the conclusion of this epic struggle, the true bushi are stepping forth and showing their colors. It will truly be a fight to the finish. So, in these final days, a ronin and his young boy will visit the grave of their murdered wife and mother. It just might be the last Spring the two will share, like the many petals falling from branches.

THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN Volume II One of the most celebrated series in recent memory makes its triumphant return! The distinguished creators, Mr. Alan Moore and Mr. Kevin O'Neill, are proud to present another rousing work of adventure, THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN Volume II — a 6-part periodical brought to you by the fine chaps at AMERICA'S BEST COMICS. The adventurous proceedings immediately follow the explosive events in Volume One. The year is 1898, and there are strange rumblings in the sky. Flashing lights are dancing across the horizon. The Martians are coming…and our Earth will never be quite the same. The legendary Allan Quatermain, the unflappable Mina Harker, the stoic Captain Nemo, the abominable Mr. Hyde, and the grotesque Griffin Hawley once again are needed by the Empire to overcome the direst of odds. Some will live, some will die…all will be remembered. As an extra bonus feature: a travel guide of fantastic proportions! Mr. Moore presents a visitors' guide to some of the world's strangest places — a magical mystery tour unlike any other! This project is supported with a 4-color poster, house and trade ads, and a co-op ad slick. THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN Volume II is a 6-issue AMERICA'S BEST COMICS miniseries edited by Scott Dunbier. The 32-page (no ads) issue #1 arrives in comic-book stores July 24 with a cover price of $3.50 U.S. STORMWATCH: TEAM ACHILLES One of WildStorm Production's original titles returns with a brash new team and a bold new direction, while kicking off the brand-new "Eye of the Storm" line of mature readers books! STORMWATCH: TEAM ACHILLES is an ongoing series written by comics newcomer Micah Ian Wright and features the long-awaited return of penciller Whilce Portacio (one of WildStorm's founders), accompanied by the masterly inks of Scott Williams! Funded by the United Nations in response to the growing super-human threat, Team Achilles is a group of highly trained human operatives, equipped with the latest in high-tech weapons and gadgets. They're prepared to take down — with lethal force, if necessary — any costumed individual who assumes they have the authority to speak for humanity. Led by Black Razor Ben Santini and featuring an international cast of experts in weapons, combat and technology, STORMWATCH: TEAM ACHILLES is hard-edged military fiction for the 21st century. The team's first mission is to stop a group of super-powered extremists from taking the United Nations hostage. There's just one problem: StormWatch hasn't been officially reactivated, and the few members of Team Achilles who are on hand have no equipment, no weapons...perhaps even no chance. This project is supported with a 4-color poster, house and trade ads, and a minisite at www.dccomics.com. STORMWATCH: TEAM ACHILLES is an ongoing WildStorm Productions series edited by John Layman and is suggested for mature readers. The 32-page issue #1 arrives in comic-book stores July 10 with a cover price of $2.95 U.S. AUTOMATIC KAFKA The "Eye of the Storm" rages on! From the strange and powerful minds of Joe Casey (WILDCATS, ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN) and Ashley Wood (Hellspawn, Popbot) comes AUTOMATIC KAFKA, a super-hero series unlike any you've seen before. The $tranger$ (Automatic Kafka, Saint Nick, The Constitution, The Warning, Spastic Ben) were huge in the '80s — the biggest super-hero team ever. They were mass-marketed as hard as the latest diet soda or designer sportswear — the Beatles as superheroes. They were the biggest and the best, a rock super-band's promoter's dream-team with the groupies to match. But then the dream was over. The end came, and they went their separate ways...leaving their tin-plated uber-member alone, adrift, lost. Automatic Kafka: Super-hero? Game-show host? Model? Pitchman? Or android junkie? And what of the $tranger$? Where are they now? Which one is being sought for questioning by the National Park Service? Which one is lost in the jungle? Which one is conducting a singular war on terrorism? Only some of these questions are answered in the debut issue of AUTOMATIC KAFKA, the first original concept released through WildStorm Productions' mature-readers label: "Eye of the Storm." Casey's twisted yet captivating scripts, coupled with the just-plain-beautiful, multimedia artwork of Wood, promise to make this perhaps the strangest series ever published by WildStorm. Not for the weak-willed, AUTOMATIC KAFKA is a brave new look at super-heroes. You only think you know what you're really in for… This project is supported with a 4-color poster, house and trade ads, and a minisite at www.dccomics.com. AUTOMATIC KAFKA is an ongoing WildStorm Productions series edited by Scott Dunbier and is suggested for mature readers. The 32-page issue #1 arrives in comic-book stores July 17 with a cover price of $2.95 U.S. STORMWATCH: TEAM ACHILLES and AUTOMATIC KAFKA are just the beginning of what's to come from "Eye of the Storm." In August, get ready for two more exciting mature readers debuts! WildStorm's premier super-team returns with WILDCATS Version 3.0 — written by Joe Casey (ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN), with stellar art by Dustin Nguyen (THE AUTHORITY) & Richard Friend (STEAMPUNK). The all-new monthly series finds Jack Marlowe's plans for the Halo Corporation finally coming to light, involving both old and new members of the WILDCATS cast scattered all across the globe! Plus, the 5-issue POINT BLANK miniseries comes your way courtesy of writer Ed Brubaker, with art by Colin Wilson and covers by Simon Bisley! The super-hero noir adventure-spectacular finds Cole Cash — Grifter — trying to solve a deadly enigma…leading into the ongoing series SLEEPER by Brubaker and Sean Phillips (WILDCATS)! Only Thirteen cents! GEN13 #0 When the first GEN13 series launched in 1995 from WildStorm Productions, it was a record-making hit, debuting with an unprecedented thirteen variant covers. Today, the next generation of Gen-Active teens is poised to capture the imagination of a new generation of comic-book readers, with a 32-page preview issue available for the shockingly low price of only 13 cents! GEN13 #0 features an all-new 12-page story laying the foundation for Gen13's dramatic rebirth by the creative team of the upcoming series: fan-favorite writer Chris Claremont (Extreme X-Men) and hot artist Alé Garza (NINJA BOY, E.V.E. Protomecha)! Get in on the ground floor as a new threat to the WildStorm Universe is introduced that will change the very concept of Gen13 forever! Featuring brand-new characters, locales and villains, this preview book is one you can't afford to miss — and won't have to! Plus, as a special bonus, this preview contains two 4-page lead-in chapters to two other upcoming WildStorm series. 21 DOWN is a series linked to the events in GEN13, written by Jimmy Palmiotti (SUPERBOY) & Justin Gray, with art by Jesus Saiz (JLA: BLACK BAPTISM) & Palmiotti. Preston Kills is a man with a terrifying power and not much time to use it, and Mickey Rinaldi is a woman determined to discover the origin of Preston's abilities and who will let nothing — and no one — stop her. THE RESISTANCE is also by writers Palmiotti & Gray, with art by Juan Roman Cano. In THE RESISTANCE, low-tech characters try to survive in a high-tech society that would rather terminate problems than deal with them. This project is supported with house ads. GEN13 #0 is a 32-page WildStorm Productions issue edited by Bob Harras. It arrives in comic- book stores July 3 with a cover price of only $0.13 U.S. Retailers please note: Copies of this issue will be given away to attendees at the DC booth at the Wizard World: Chicago and Comic-Con International: San Diego conventions. ANIMAL MAN: ORIGIN OF THE SPECIES TRADE PAPERBACK Before he revitalized The New X-Men, before breathing new life into the JLA, and before creating the uniquely subversive THE INVISIBLES, writer Grant Morrison (THE FILTH) wowed audiences with his groundbreaking work on ANIMAL MAN. His 26-issue run on that title is still discussed today, and now the second collection of ANIMAL MAN is being made available this July. ANIMAL MAN: ORIGIN OF THE SPECIES is a 224-page VERTIGO trade paperback collecting issues #10-17 of Morrison's run, and also includes the 19-page story from SECRET ORIGINS #39. Featuring art by Chas Truog, Tom Grummett, Doug Hazlewood, Steve Montano, and Mark McKenna, ORIGIN OF THE SPECIES also sports a brand-new painted cover by Brian Bolland — the fan-favorite artist whose remarkable and distinctive covers for ANIMAL MAN drew raves from every quarter. In the issues collected here, Animal Man moves more and more deeply into the cause of animal rights, but something else is going on beyond his burgeoning radicalism. Strange visions of aliens, people disappearing into strange pencil-like drawings, and hints of a terrible Crisis lurk around the edges of reality. And Animal Man begins to sense something moving towards him...something invisible...something worse than evil. This project is supported with house ads. ANIMAL MAN: ORIGIN OF THE SPECIES is a 224-page trade paperback and is suggested for mature readers. It arrives in comic-book stores July 24 with a cover price of $19.95 U.S. Y — THE LAST MAN Suddenly — and without warning — a mysterious plague kills every living creature on the planet with a Y-chromosome. Planes fall from the sky, power plants stop operating, and lines of communication are severed as nearly every last male — half of the global population — simultaneously drops dead. Every male…except for one young man. This is the world of Y — THE LAST MAN, a new ongoing VERTIGO adventure series from writer Brian K. Vaughan (SWAMP THING, The Hood), up-and-coming art sensation Pia Guerra and acclaimed inker José Marzan, Jr. Red-hot artist J.G. Jones (WONDER WOMAN: THE HIKETEIA, Marvel Boy) provides the striking painted covers. The one man who escapes this mass extinction is amateur escape artist Yorick Brown. But how will this lone remaining male (not counting Ampersand, Yorick's surly helper monkey) be used and exploited by world powers hoping to repopulate their empires? Will the benefits of being the last man on Earth outweigh the cost? Some of the answers to these and other intriguing questions can be found in the extra-sized first issue, introducing readers to a fascinating cast of female characters: a combat soldier in the Israel Defense Forces, a United States congresswoman, an agent of the clandestine Culper Ring, and one of the planet's premier bioengineers. They're all part of a radically transformed world…one where waifish supermodels are forced to drive garbage trucks for food, while mechanics and other women in traditionally male- dominated professions become the new elite. These females will help, hinder and hunt Yorick, as he searches for his missing girlfriend and one true love: an exchange student trapped in Australia. During his epic quest, Yorick hopes to help save the human race and finally discover what it means to be a man. Deftly combining action, science fiction, horror, romance, humor, and social commentary, Y — THE LAST MAN is a new kind of thriller for the next generation of VERTIGO. This project is supported with house and trade ads, and a minisite at www.dccomics.com. Y — THE LAST MAN is an ongoing VERTIGO series edited by Heidi MacDonald and is suggested for mature readers. The 40-page issue #1 arrives in comic-book stores July 17 with a cover price of $2.95 U.S. Grayson Writes Grayson! NIGHTWING #71 He grew up as the wise-cracking sidekick to the dark avenger known as Batman, and then came on to his own as the sole protector of one of the most crime-ridden cities in the DC Universe, Blüdhaven. Now Dick Grayson is poised for an epic, globe-spanning, action extravaganza destined to change his life once again — courtesy of a brand-new creative team! NIGHTWING #71 is the debut issue of writer Devin Grayson (BATMAN: GOTHAM KNIGHTS, NIGHTWING/HUNTRESS) and the art team of Rick Leonardi (BIRDS OF PREY) & Jesse Delperdang (DETECTIVE COMICS), with continuing covers by Michael Golden. Beginning the 4-part "Something About Mary" storyline, NIGHTWING #71 shows that Chief Redhorn's wife has been keeping a journal. And though she may not know it, the journal implicates nearly every crooked cop and politician in Blüdhaven. Now Mary Redhorn, a middle-aged soccer mom, is suddenly the target of squads of assassins — some of which are Blüdhaven's Police Department, others hired guns. It's high action galore…and Nightwing's caught in the middle. The adventure begins in Nightwing's adopted city but will soon take him around the world! This issue is supported with house ads. NIGHTWING is an ongoing series edited by Michael Wright. The 32-page issue #71 arrives in comic-book stores July 17 with a cover price of $2.25 U.S. CATWOMAN: SELINA'S BIG SCORE HARDCOVER When the relaunch of the current hit CATWOMAN series began, Selina Kyle was already preparing to embark on her new life of fighting crime. But what made a bad woman want to be good in the first place? And how did Selina score enough cash to launch her new career? These questions and more are answered in CATWOMAN: SELINA'S BIG SCORE — a 96-page hardcover written and illustrated by Darwyn Cooke (CATWOMAN, Spider-Man: Tangled Web). Taking place concurrently with the "Slam Bradley" backups in DETECTIVE COMICS #759-762 (with a framing sequence set in the present), SELINA'S BIG SCORE finds the feline fatale presumed dead, cut off from her fortune and desperate to make a lot of money...fast. When she hears about a mob train full of unmarked cash, Selina assembles a crew of professional thieves to help her take it down. She needs the money badly...but is she ready for the consequences? What follows is a hard-boiled slice-of-crime story in the tradition of The Usual Suspects — a story that doesn't pull punches, with twists and turns that leave readers constantly guessing. This handsome hardcover also delivers an eye-popping pinup section showcasing Selina/Catwoman rendered by some of the industry's finest artists, including Mike Allred, Shane Glines, Jaime Hernandez, Adam Hughes, Mike Mignola, Kevin Nowlan, Steranko, and Daniel Torres.

GODDESS tells the story of Rosie Nolan, a wee Irish girl who suddenly manifests the unlikely ability to perform impossible feats of telekinesis (such as splitting Scotland off from England and moving it a hundred miles north), as well as having an uncannily empathic relationship with animals. After saving the life of sad-sack narrator Jeff at the zoo, Rosie hooks up with him, her overzealous environmentalist friend Mudhawk, and his ticked-off ex-girlfriend Sam. Soon after, the group is on the lam from a rogue CIA agent who wants to capture Rosie's power for the betterment of the United States' government, and a really rogue police constable who has a more personal agenda: bloody revenge. From there, the chase takes them, courtesy of Rosie's uncontrollable, godlike powers, around the globe and up to the Arctic Circle, with mayhem and strangeness trailing in their wake. There, the startling truth about Rosie's abilities is revealed. But who will be left alive to hear it? This project is supported with house ads.

MAD ARCHIVES Volume One HARDCOVER When it first appeared on newsstands in 1952, no one could have known the scope of its eventual success — least of all the men who brought it into existence. It was just another 10-cent comic book, one of hundreds of titles that crowded the country's shelves and vied for the attention of a fickle and mercurial audience. It was called MAD, and it promised "Humor in a Jugular Vein." MAD delivered on that promise in spades, and now the first six historic issues are reproduced in their entirety in the MAD ARCHIVES Volume One — a 224-page oversized hardcover (8 1/2" x 11") written by Harvey Kurtzman, with art by Kurtzman, Jack Davis, Wally Wood, Will Elder, and John Severin! Celebrating fifty years of one of America's most popular humor magazines, this introductory volume features a foreword by current MAD Magazine co-editor Nick Meglin! Under the guidance of Kurtzman, one of history's most gifted storytellers, MAD redefined satire for an entire generation of readers — children and adults alike. And while it began as just one of an entire line of titles from visionary publisher William M. Gaines's E.C. Comics, MAD eventually outsold and outlasted them all, transforming itself from a bimonthly comic book into a monthly magazine that continues publication to this day. Popular culture, both in America and abroad, would never be quite so complacent again. Discover for yourself where it all began. This project is supported with house ads and a website promotion at MadMagazine.com.

Writer and Golden Age enthusiast Roy Thomas provides the foreword. The latter half of 1947 was a banner period for the JSA. New writers with new approaches joined new artists with more sophisticated styles to raise the bar for comics' premier super-team. And it was a time of supreme villainy: the Wizard, Per Degaton, the Injustice Society of the World, and more — history's most vile characters. As a bonus, toss in guest appearances by Superman and Batman as members of the team, and this collection sets a high water mark for DC's greatest heroes!

Now, master artist Alex Ross (the creator of the Earth X Universe) has once again cast his creative eye to launch this full-size 13" tall statue atop a base measuring 6" by 9". Cap stands defiant, his body covered in scars, his forehead forever marked with the jagged "A," a battered flag covering his massive build, his trusty shield at his side, Cap stands ready for the next battle. Each of these markings and trappings has been captured by sculptors Alex Ross with Jared Shiflet and painted in the vivid detail as only Alex Ross can!

MATURE READERS B&w, 24pg $2.95 PECULIA GN by Richard Sala Often compared to Edward Gorey and Charles Addams, Blab! mainstay Richard Sala has developed a distinctive narrative and visual style that can best be described as gothic humor. Possibly the closest thing to a super-hero series put out by Fantagraphics, Peculia (from the pages of his regular comic Evil Eye), has been charming readers for several years. Peculia, the intrepid heroine, is a precocious and rebellious adventurer who fearlessly wanders through a world filled with zombies, monsters, and more, assisted only by her trusty butler. In addition to collecting all the Peculia stories to date (including material from the first two out-of-print issues of Evil Eye), the Peculia collection includes a brand-new six-page, painted, full-color story in which Peculia happens upon a sinister doll shop. The Peculia collection is an excellent introduction to Richard Sala's idiosyncratic universe of noir-ish mystery, suspense, and occasional whimsy. SC, 8x11, 104pg, PC $12.95 QUIMBY THE MOUSE TP by Chris Ware Cleverly appropriated old-fashioned animation imagery and advertising styles of the 1920s and 1930s are put to use in Quimby, at the service of modern vignettes of angst and existentialism. As this cartoon silhouette of a mouse ignominiously suffers at every turn, the spaces between the panels create despair and a Beckett-like rhythm of hope deceived and deferred (but never quite extinguished), buoying Quimby from page to page. Quimby is saturated with Ware's genius, including consistently amazing graphics, insanely perfectionist production values, cut-out-and-assemble paper projects, and the formal complexity of his narratives that have earned him the reputation as one of the most prodigious artists of his generation. Quimby will collect all the material from the out-of- print Acme Novelty Library #2 and #4, as well as a selection of previously uncollected strips and some new material. Available in Softcover and Hardcover editions. SC, 11x14, 56pg, PC $14.95 RES. from Previews Vol. XI #9 (SEP012007) HC, 11x14, 56pg, PC $24.95 SSHHHH! TP by Jason Entirely told in pantomime, this suite of short tales veers from the funny to the terrifying to the surreal to the touching. Like Chris Ware, Jason's clean, deadpan style (featuring animal-headed characters with mask-like faces) hides a wealth of emotion and human complexity, leavened with a wicked wit. Jason's work has also drawn comparisons to Art Spiegelman for the similar ways both artists utilize anthropomorphic stylizations to reach deeper, more general truths, and to create elegantly minimalist panels whose emotional depth-charge comes as an even greater shock. His dark wit and supremely bold use of "jump-cuts" from one scene to the next are endlessly surprising and exhilarating. Jason's first book, Hey Wait… (re-offered this month), has been a major critical and commercial success. SC, 8x11, 120pg, b&w $14.95 WEASEL #5 by Dave Cooper The much-awaited fifth issue of Dave Cooper's critically acclaimed underground comic book features the last installment of the extremely naughty & misanthropic serial, "Ripple."

After this issue, Weasel will become a series of otherwise disconnected projects of varying sizes & formats. So revel in this last chance to enjoy the type of Weasel you've come to know & love.

MATURE READERS b&w, 40pg $4.95 LOVE & ROCKETS BOOK 8: BLOOD OF PALOMAR TP—NEW PRINTING by Gilbert Hernandez The most explosive Heartbreak Soup story ever, "Blood of Palomar" originally ran in Love & Rockets #21-26. In this saga, a serial killer stalks the streets of Palomar. Gruesome and senseless as his depredations are, they are dwarfed by the resulting social and psychological collapse suffered by the inhabitants of the tiny Central American village. Featuring all the Heartbreak Soup players — Heraclio, Luba, Tonantzin, Carmen, Pipo. "Blood of Palomar" is a true graphic novel — a masterpiece of comics that can hold its own next to any piece of literature. MATURE READERS SC, 8x11, 136pg, b&w $18.95 STAR OF THE MONTH BLACKMARK TP by Gil Kane In 1974, Gil Kane created Blackmark as a paperback series for Bantam Books. Kane was a comics artist specializing in super-heroes who had drawn every major character at DC and Marvel. Blackmark was his attempt to go 'independent' and create a series which he could own, and whose creative direction he would control. The first volume of this sword & sorcery/heroic fantasy narrative, designed and published in the paperback format, has been out of print for over 25 years, and the completed second volume was never published. Fantagraphics Books is proud to collect both volumes in a single trade book format, larger than the original paperback size to better showcase Kane's elegant line art!

Born on a train going from Kansas City to Hollywood, his name was Mickey Mouse. Soon, his immense popularity at the Box Office led to a starring role in the daily comic strips, and then to the color Sunday sections. Mickey Mouse magazines and Big Little Books, wristwatches, Lionel train cars, and countless other commercial endorsements followed. He finally got his own regular comic book series with Walt Disney's Comics and Stories and Dell one-shots. As other genres of comics came and went, the popularity of Mickey, Donal Duck, and the other Disney characters remained strong with comic book readers. Revived in the 1980s and 90s by Bruce Hamilton's Gladstone Comics, these classic stories became available to a new generation of comic book readers. In CBM #95, publisher/entrepreneur Hamilton reviews this fascinating history with the help of CBM's own Michael Naiman, including 16 full color pages of classic Disney images. Don't miss it!
