ALSO AVAILABLE SKY MASTERS OF THE SPACE FORCE The Complete Dailies 1958-61 Our Highest Recommendation. By Jack Kirby and Wally Wood. Jack Kirby's comic strip masterpiece is presented in an archival version featuring the complete dailies. Veteran scripters Dick and Dave Wood provided these late-1950s space/action adventure stories starring Sky Masters and his gang of intrepid followers, which closely resemble Kirby's work on Challengers of the Unknown (which was being published at the same time).

But four years earlier, with magnificent inking by Wally Wood, Jack was honing his skills on one of the greatest prototype series of all time. DC, 2017...More.

Twin Earths is an American science fiction comic strip that ran in Sunday and daily newspapers from 1952 until 1963. The story told of another Earth, in the same orbit as our planet but on the opposite side of the sun, whose scientifically advanced civilization is 92% women. Beautiful women! This is packed with flying saucers and McWilliams was a master at drawing them, along with all kinds of future-world techology. And beautiful ladies.

ALSO AVAILABLE CONNIE Volume 1 & 2 Set Closeout Price! Five episodes, 1936-38. Highly Recommended. By Frank Godwin.

Mature ReadersTijuana Bibles, otherwise known as the notorious “eight-pagers” have always held a fascination for comics fans. Being totally underground and published in the 1930s, they crossed every line of good taste, targeting living people from politicians to movie starlets, making fun of widely popular comic strips. The best book ever done on these dates back to 1997, and we've just found a source for copies of that first edition, in both hardcover and softcover, at $15 and $24. Ralph Gibson Nude is a new bargain priced ($50, your price $45) collection that reprints the original $1000 edition, both published by Taschen. Old-school nudes in both color and black and white, close-up and person, and artistic. A Touch of Sex is a new DVD, directed by George O'Conner. This music-filled ‘70s erotic oddity features genre film actor Michael Pataki (Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers, Dead And Buried, Graduation Day) and classic adult film starlet, Rene Bond. The latest Cavewoman issue, Lycan Run, features not one, not two, but three different special edition Nude Covers by Budd Root. I have not been a big fan of the interior art on recent issues, so finding this is from a new writer and new artist, even while it's not Fine Art, I do find a change for the better. And...we've just made up four sets of older issues by Budd, but we have just one of each set: CAVEWOMAN HUNT/ FEEDING GROUNDS SET CAVEWOMAN HUNT/ FEEDING GROUNDS NUDE SET Nude Photography | Erotic Art | Erotic Films: DVDs | Adult Graphic Novels | All Pin-Up & Adult Click here to add yourself to our Adult's Only mailing list. |

In case you haven’t noticed, we started sending our weekly email on Thursday in the late afternoon or early evening. Essentially, as soon as we finish putting it together. We think it works better for you than the first-thing-Friday morning schedule...you have a chance to take a look on Thursday evening and get your orders in earlier. ~Bud |
