A self-confessed thief, forger, and con artist, he used a roster of assumed names and false identities. He was known, at various times, as a novelist, poet, painter, art critic, lecturer, publisher, and the lightweight boxing champion of France. Always a rebellious, restless spirit, this dedicated rule-breaker was a political radical whose friendship with Leon Trotsky earned him the surveillance of the U.S. government—even through his immigration to Mexico with his wife, the poet Mina Loy. In 1918, at the age of thirty-one, the fascinating physical giant vanished without a trace, and—despite several supposed sightings over the years—was never seen again. Is it possible that he became the mysterious, reclusive novelist B. Traven, who wrote The Treasure of the Sierra Madre?

In You Deserved It, the sensitive creator of the acclaimed graphic novel Beg the Question accesses his darker side, serving up this caustic collection of comical cautionary chronicles. What Beg the Question was to sex and romance, You Deserved It is to wanton violence and social wrongness. From Otis Goes Hollywood, the epic saga of a homicidally puritanical meat packer with dreams of making it big in Hollywood, to Missing Pieces, a yarn about the extracurricular activities of paramedics, to Buying Bologna, about a guy who just really, really loves his luncheon meat, to Yiffy Situation, a fuzzy fable about fornicating Furries, You Deserved It serves up enough yarns to make one hilariously misanthropic sweater, all in living—and dying—color!

His contemporary take on the classics is instantly recognizable: Van Gogh’s Starry Night with a well-known hamburger joint in the background, a multi-faced Munch’s Scream, and Monet and Kinkade-inspired landscapes, sometimes serving as home to our three-eyed friend, Rabbbit. We couldn’t resist this little creature. With three eyes and ears, two cute noses, and two mouths, his presence will be an adorable and disturbing companion for years to come. He’s made of durable soft vinyl, and comes in a full-color window box, with original Ron English art inside and out!

Worlds died. And the DC Universe was never the same! In 1985, DC Comics dramatically altered comics’ original universe with CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS, a 12-issue series that rocked the comics community, tragically dooming some of DC’s most beloved characters and drastically altering others.

The 368-page Book One includes the full 12-issue maxiseries (which was painstakingly restored and meticulously recolored in 1998), with an introduction by Marv Wolfman, afterword by Dick Giordano, and creator bios. George Pérez provides all-new art for the dustjacket.

He had a fascination with dreams that extended beyond his newspaper strip Little Nemo In Slumberland, and it was a fascination as compelling as that of Freud, Jung and Adler’s, as proven in the pages of Daydreams & Nightmares. McCay’s dream- inspired strips, illustrations and cartoons feature rarebit-induced nightmares, playful “what-ifs,” moralistic panoramas, pictorial allegories and other fantastic visions. The book spans the years 1898-1934, the bulk of McCay’s career. McCay’s world was the world of playfulness and whimsy that most leave behind in youth and encounter again only in dreams; Daydreams & Nightmares is a tour through that world.

Fred has an eye for the ladies, as well as several other organs, but the only part of themselves they’re willing to share with him is a carefully placed kneecap. Absurd and hilarious. SC, 6x8, 192pgs, B&W SRP: $16.95 FUZZ & PLUCK IN SPLITSVILLE #4 In this penultimate issue, Fuzz comes up with a way to defeat ferryman Victor's nemesis (a bridge) once and for all — with disastrous consequences. In the machiavellian world of the gladiator games, Pluck is king — until he finally meets his match. Part four of a five part series. Though beloved by artists like Chris Ware and David Mazzucchelli, this might be our most underrated series. Funny, surreal, moving and engrossing. MATURE THEMES 48pgs, B&W (4 of 5) SRP: $4.95 THE INNOCENT ONES #1 by Gipi A decade after his days as a roaming punk, Giuliano takes his nephew Andrea down to the seaside, his old stomping grounds, to visit with one of his old friends: Valerio, who has just finished serving a long prison sentence after having been framed, tortured, and imprisoned by two rogue members of an anti-terrorist squad. The Innocent Ones, which includes two narrative tracks in different drawing styles, is a contemplative, beautifully drawn graphic novelette about these three characters' meeting. 8x11, 32pgs, PC SRP: $7.95 INSOMNIA #1 by Matt Broersma The first issue follows Marco Clay, sometime bartender, petty criminal, and insurance company accountant, as he walks a fine line between necessity and the Texas Highway Patrol. Fleeing to Mexico City, Clay may avoid the cops, but will he fall into the clutches of a drug-runner with a taste for floral-print shirts? This first self-contained installment, part of a larger jigsaw, ranges from the highs of a caffeine rush to the depths of the human soul. 8x11, 32pgs, PC SRP: $7.95 OFFERED AGAIN O/A JIMBO IN PURGATORY — LIMITED EDITION SIGNED HC by Gary Panter Presented in a huge, oversize hardcover format, Jimbo in Purgatory is an art object, a brilliant literary game, a visual feast, and the most eye-popping, visually and verbally challenging, and memorable new graphic novel of the year.

Maggie’s story begins in the early-1980s Southern California rock scene, when it was shifting from the excesses of glitter rock to the gritty basics of punk and new wave. She quickly befriends Hopey Glass, a feisty anti- authoritarian punkette who quickly becomes Maggie’s on-again, off-again lover and a constant presence in her life throughout the book. This book contains all the Maggie stories from the first Love & Rockets series. MATURE THEMES HC, 780pgs, B&W SRP: $49.95 ************************************************************************ MAD NIGHT FEATURING JUDY DROOD, GIRL DETECTIVE TP by Richard Sala Gothic horror, madcap comedy, and an old-fashioned murder mystery coalesce perfectly in this chiling graphic novel. This book collects “Reflections in a Glass Scorpion” from Evil Eye #1-12. In Mad Night, his follow-up to The Chuckling Whatsit, Sala follows ace detective Judy Drood and her reluctant companion Kasper Keene as they try to unravel a string of mysterious occurrences and heinous murders in the usually tranquil Lone Mountain College. Sala's superbly elegant, shadowy draftsmanship and wittily spooky storytelling make Mad Night a wonderful romp for fans of gothic horror. SC, 232pgs, B&W SRP: $18.95 THE CHUCKLING WHATSIT TP (NEW PRINTING) by Richard Sala In The Chuckling Whatsit, Sala weaves the gothic cartooning traditions of Edward Gorey and Charles Addams with a densely constructed, melodramatic murder mystery involving astrology, ghouls, academia and outsider art. Part noir, part horror and part comedy, this labyrinthian tale of intrigue follows an unemployed writer named Broom who becomes unwittingly ensnared in a complex plot involving mysterious outsider artist Emile Jarnac, the shadowy machinations of the Ghoul Appreciation Society Headquarters (GASH), and the enigmatic Mr. Ixnay. Sala's deadpan delivery makes this ingeniously layered narrative a roller-coaster ride of darkly pure comic suspense. SC, 200pgs, B&W SRP: $16.95 MANIAC KILLER STRIKES AGAIN! GN by Richard Sala Maniac Killer Strikes Again! is the tongue-in-cheek title of this “Greatest Hits” collection of mysterious and delirious comic strip stories by Richard Sala, hand-picked by the author from three of his long out-of-print books. Mix noir-ish suspense and late-night horror movies, add a dose of whimsy and a touch of German Expressionism and you get these delightfully creepy tales. (OCT032443) SC, 8x8, 176pgs, B&W $16.95 OFFERED AGAIN O/A PECULIA GN by Richard Sala Sala has developed a distinctive narrative and visual style that can best be described as gothic humor. 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. The Peculia collection is an excellent introduction to Richard Sala’s idiosyncratic universe of noir-ish mystery, suspense, and occasional whimsy. SC, 7x10, 104pgs, PC SRP: $12.95 O/A PECULIA & THE GROON GROVE VAMPIRES GN by Richard Sala The book follows five college students, survivors of the dark force of a powerful evil, when they are summoned by someone seven years after a dastardly event, to defeat the evil again. Sala has gained a devoted following over the years as a master of a unique brand of quirky horror and dark humor. This book features several characters from his Peculia tales — stories which revolve around a mysterious waif-like girl, her very strange acquaintances, and her tendency, through no fault of her own, to find herself facing a variety of awful creatures and ghastly goings-on. For years, Sala has promised his readers a full-length Peculia novel that would shed some light on the background of the intrepid young wanderer, and they won’t be disappointed. No previous exposure to any of Sala’s stories is necessary, however. In fact, anyone who likes a little chuckle with their chills, anyone who enjoys curling up with tales of vampires and other things that go bump in the night, will want to get their claws on this book.

Fowler, an American on the team, had grown obsessed with the Ancient Egyptians and when he returned to the States it was with several stolen artifacts in tow. Fowler had become so consumed by the era that when he died, he killed all of his household staff and had them buried in his mansion with him — a modern day Pharaoh's Tomb. Almost 60 years after Fowler's death, Jessica Parrish, archeologist and would-be-Indiana Jones, has been hired to assemble and lead a team into the house to take back the missing pieces and disable the booby traps that have already cost one unfortunate group their lives. Can Parrish and her comrades navigate the elaborate deathtraps with their persons intact or will the curse of Tut's tomb just add to its mounting body count?

(5877/421) (CAUT: 4) Set SRP: $99.99 REPLICAS ANATHAR SWORD OF POWER In the beginning of things in ages past the Ancient Ones were the masters of flesh, fire, and steel and they created the “Swords of the Ancients.” Each was forged of secret alloys and bequeathed with special powers. The swords have been used throughout the ages in the eternal struggle between good and evil. Anathar is the tenth sword, the most powerful of those ancient blades. It holds the power of all of the other swords of the Ancients combined. Anathar’s blade is inscribed with runes in the lost language of the Anath that name it as the “Sword of Power”. Its hilt is formed with a spiked triple cross guard and the pommel is fashioned after the ceremonial winged and horned headdress of the Ancient Ones. The grip is carved from three pieces of red thorcan, a reddish stone jewel said to be an important talisman of the Anath, harboring their greatest powers. Features include intricately detailed solid metal handle parts and a tempered, 420 stainless steel blade (unsharpened). Each sword includes a full-color art print and a new chapter in “The Tale of the Swords of the Ancients.” This adult collectible is branded with the designer’s trademark. (4792/KR0020) (CAUT: 3 & 4) NOTE: Not available in Germany. Sword MSRP: $186.49 BLACK LEGION BATTLE AXE The fiercest of the Black Legion were the Barumen Axemen of Lokonia. These were the main vanguard of The Dark One's army, made up of the largest and most ferocious of Barumen soldiers. They were heavily armored in plate steel and leather and each wielded two great Battle Axes which they used with deadly skill. The Battle Axe was one of the few weapons forged by the Dark Elves in mass, each one being shaped nearly the same. Every Axeman carried two identical battle axes, with hooked and curved blades, leather grips and skull crushing pommels. The Black Legion Battle Axe could be used to chop like a traditional axe but could also be used to hook and pull an enemy. The Battle Axe could be thrown with deadly precision, and its twin points were devastating. The mere sight of this weapon caused many to retreat in battle rather than face its terrible edge. Designed by fantasy artist Kit Rae, this adult collectible is part of the Kit Rae® Fantasy Art Collection, a series of edged fantasy creations from the Swords of the Ancients Universe. The Black Legion Battle Axe features finely detailed solid metal parts and stainless steel etched blades. Each axe includes a certificate of authenticity and is presented with a black-and-white collector art print, “The Barumen” by designer, Kit Rae. The Black Legion Battle Axe is branded with the designer’s trademark to ensure its authenticity. (4792/KR0022) (CAUT: 3 & 4) NOTE: Not available in Germany.
