Collects Wonder Woman/Conan #1-6. 2017. Our Highest Recommendation. By Gail Simone. Art by Aaron Lopresti, Matt Ryan, Wendy Broome et al. Dark and malicious magic by two scheming goddesses has driven Wonder Woman and Conan together, stripping Diana of her memories and chaining her destiny to this dark-haired and dangerous stranger. Slavers and gladiators, pirates and predators, an army of witches poised to conquer the world on wings of wickedness; these are the foes the Amazon and the Cimmerian must join together to defeat.

Hard Cover, 7x10, 160pg, Full Color
$24.99 $21.99

You know, I liked the idea but was cautious about how they'd pull this off without making it a mess. Well, Gail Simone proved what a smart and capable writer she is, and this is a very, very fine story. It starts with Conan as a youth, who meets a bright young girl from another tribe at an annual gathering. A tribe of only women. Flash forward to an adult Conan, who's suddently trying to help out a noble and ferocious fighter in the slave arena...who has no memory of who she is. Is this his childhood friend? Or is it our own Wonder Woman, who's been mysteriously transported into the Hyborean Age? Check it out, it's an outstanding, stand-alone novel I really, really enjoyed.

JUSTICE LEAGUE The World's Greatest Super-Heroes By Alex Ross and Paul Dini

Pulps, Reference and The Phantom

 
THE BRITISH SUPERHERO
Highly Recommended. By Chris Murray. A professor of comic studies in Scotland, Chris Murray reveals the largely unknown and rather surprising history of the British superhero. The superhero genre is a blend of several influences, and in British comics these influences were quite different from those in America. He identifies the origins of the superhero and supervillain in 19th century penny dreadfuls and boys' weeklies and in science fiction of the 1920s and 1930s. Read about the emergence of British superheroes in the 1940s, and the advent of “fake” American comics when imports were stopped during WWII, as they also did in Canada in the WECA era. Then there's the reformatting of reprinted material, including quite amazingly, the very first appearances of Superman, reformatted with its own Brit cover art! University of Mississippi Press, 2017...More.

Then, a police informant's corpse is deposited in The Shadow's secret sanctum as a deadly warning from the criminal mastermind known only as “Gray Fist.” This instant collector's item showcases both classic color pulp covers by George Rozen and the original interior illustrations by Tom Lovell, with historical commentary by Will Murray and Anthony Tollin.

THE PHANTOM The Complete Sundays Volume 5
1953-56. Recommended. By Lee Falk. Art by Wilson McCoy.

In a small town at the foot of the Pyrenees on the French Mediterranean, lifelong friends are called to arms, except for Mattéo, who, as the son of Spanish refugees, is exempt from service.

HIGHEST HOUSE
Recommended. By Mike Carrey and Peter Gross. Through a subtle alternate history, The Highest House takes us to a fictional Balkanesque country of the 16th century. Mike Carrey and Peter Gross (Lucifer, The Unwritten) draw from this context a captivating fantasy narrative that reflects on the human soul, the corrupting power of slavery, and the inequalities of class, all from the different perspectives of the House's many inhabitants and our mysteriously gifted young slave, Moth. A multifaceted fantasy sure to stay with readers long after the final page has turned. IDW, 2108...More.
