SUPER WEIRD HEROES Volume 1 Outrageous but Real!
Our Highest Recommendation. By Fletcher Hanks, Jerry Siegel, Joe Shuster, John Buscema, George Tuska et al. Edited by Craig Yoe. The first superhero book from Yoe Books! 320 pages, thick as a brick, bargained-priced, filled with tons of rare, full-color, never-before-reprinted complete stories--plus Craig Yoe's own synopsis of each one's strange career or lack thereof! Here's The Hand (yes, he's a giant hand), The Eye (you got it--he's a huuuge eye), The Bouncer (a super-hero-in-a-skirt), Rainbow Boy, Boomerang (he defeats Nazi hordes with a little boomerang), Kangaroo Man (he's even weirder than you think--his fighting partner is a talking kangaroo!).

HARVEY KURTZMAN'S TRUMP
Highly Recommended. By Harvey Kurtzman, Wally Wood, Will Elder, Al Jaffee, Jack Davis et al. Trump was a lavish color satire magazine Harvey Kurtzman created for Hugh Hefner after leaving MAD in 1956. With a star-studded cast (Mel Brooks, Will Elder, Jack Davis, Wally Wood, Al Jaffee) and Playboy's money and clout, Trump should have been huge. But for complex financial reasons, Hefner pulled the plug while the third issue was in production. Never before collected, issues #1 and #2 and never-before-seen art, including the surviving contents of ithe third issue! Kitchen Sink, 2016. ....More.

Oh, boy, we got an out'n'out doozy for you this time, with the six 1950's issues of Ziff Davis' Amazing Advenutures, brim full with work from the likes of Murphy Anderson, Jerry Siegel (editor/writer), Ogden Whitney, Wally Wood, Norman Saunders, Ross Andru, and a host of other talented writers and artists. I could say more, like how #2 contains "The Steel Monster," a kickass riff on Ted Sturgeon's "Killdozer" yarn from 1944 (also homaged by Marvel some 20 years later). PS Artbooks, 2016. ....More.

EC ARCHIVES CRIME SUSPENSTORIES Volume 2
Collects #7-12, 1951-52. Highly Recommended. By Al Feldstein and Johnny Craig. Art by Jack Davis, Johnny Craig, Jack Kamen et al. Classic chronicles of criminals and capers! Collecting issues from the immortal artistic talents of Al Feldstein, Johnny Craig, Jack Kamen, Jack Davis, and George Roussos. Plus every issue has a horror tale from The Haunt of Fear, narrated by the Old Witch and drawn by Graham Ingles, just like in EC's three horror titles. In fact, these stories were as horror-laden and shocking any of EC work--they just wanted to cash in on the "crime" so popular in comics. Handsomely recolored, giving these a fresh and up to date look and polish. Dark Horse, 2016. ....More.

CONAN OMNIBUS Volume 1 Birth of the Legend
2003-2008. Highly Recommended. By Kurt Busiek. Art by Cary Nord, Greg Ruth, Thomas Yeates et al. An affordable omnibus format collecting some of the best Conan comics ever, and I don't say that lightly. Cary Nord is a brilliant artist, and these new adaptions of the classic Robert E. Howard stories are a joy to read. This was one of the very few contemporary series I was following as they appeared from Dark Horse.This begins with Conan's birth and youth--stories include "Born on the Battlefield," "The Frost Giant's Daughter," "God in the Bowl", and new stories, too!

FLASH GORDON DAN BARRY DAILIES Volume 2 The Lost Continent
12 complete episodes from 1953-1956. Highly Recommended. By Dan Barry. Not your father's Flash Gordon! In 1951, Flash was rebooted. Formerly taking place in real time, and on Mongo, this reboot set Flash, Dale and Zarkov (and no other former characters) in the world ten years in the future and in our own solar system. The title story takes place on earth, but eleven more episodes here take the adventurers to Mars, Ganymede, and finally to Mongo. SUPERLATIVE artwork is the highlight here--Barry is every bit as good as Murphy Anderson and you'll find it here. Titan, 2016.....More.

They took the strip that had been so magnificent under Alex Raymond and made it their own, with storytelling that may have outpaced Raymond's own. Flash and the lovely Dale Arden encounter escaped convicts, frightening Frost Men, tyrannous kingdoms - and more! Three years of Dan Barry's run. Titan, 2016. ....More.

MANDRAKE THE MAGICIAN DAILIES Volume 1 The Cobra

Join Mandrake The Magician and his ever-faithful companion and trusty side-kick, Lothar, as they set out in search of high adventure in strange lands, strange dimensions and even stranger planets with nothing more than a top hat, a wand and the immense strength of Lothar, African Prince, to save the day!

MANDRAKE THE MAGICIAN SUNDAYS Volume 1 1935 -1937
The Hidden Kingdom of Murderers Highly Recommended. By Lee Falk and Phil Davis. This unusual strip was the first to feature a magician. Unlike other adventurers, Mandrake used his illusionist skills and his head, rather than his fists. Artist Phil Davis's work is as good as Alex Raymond's from the same period, exhibiting a fine-line brush and beautiful girls as good as the master. I'm very excited to finally have this long-overdue collection of a superior, oft-neglected classic. Titan, 2016. ....More.

We like the image, it's a full-bodied Harley, not the skinny little girl but a well-rounded woman in the best Kotobukiya style, which we have found consistently well done and attractive.
