Software Changeover News

We've sent this email a day early, due to our software update. Any orders placed by Thursday noon will ship that day. Orders placed after noon will not ship until Monday. Please see News & Notes for more details.

As of July 27, links in this email and all previous emails, posted on our blog or in your inbox, WILL NOT WORK. This is because our new website comes up on Monday, July 27.

Next week's email will have correctly working links to our new website--this extra step is only for this and older emails.

House of Mystery Volume 2 is packed with young comics talent like Kaluta and Wrightson and stunning art from the "Filipino Invasions". I really enjoyed reading Canto: If I Only Had a Heart, and from France, Mister Invincible—unique, nicely drawn and well written.

Savage Sword of Conan is packed with solid tales and great art. Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy is beautifully drawn. Green Lantern and the Arrow go cosmic in an archive of 1970s work. Wonder Woman offers a nice vintage selection of stories.

THE HOUSE OF MYSTERY The Bronze Age Omnibus Volume 2
Collects #201-226, 1972-74. Highly Recommended. Edited by Joe Orlando. Art by Wrightson, Kaluta, Starlin, Niño et al. One of the most celebrated anthology titles of the Bronze Age of comics, The House of Mystery earned its iconic status in the early 1970s under the skillful hands of editor Joe Orlando, who had an uncanny aptitude for the fearsome and the frightful--perhaps thanks to his days at EC Comics. And Joe enlisted young, brilliant new artists like those mentioned above. A massive volume with great stories of horror, the supernatural, gothic mystery, you-name-it, they'd push the boundaries of the Comics Code. DC, 2020...More.

Collects #174-200, 1968-72. Highly Recommended. Edited by Joe Orlando. Art by Berni Wrightson, Alex Toth, Wally Wood et al. New 2018 introduction by Michael Uslan. As one of the most celebrated anthology titles of the Bronze Age of comics, The House of Mystery cemented its iconic status in the 1970s under the transformative leadership of editor Joe Orlando, whose impeccable instincts yielded a cornucopia of devilish delights in every intriguing issue. It was a training ground for up-and-coming new creators Neal Adams, doing fabulous covers and stories, and lots of work by Michael Wm. Kaluta and Berni Wrightson. It was also a place for veteran artists to have some fun doing offbeat stories with no superhero in sight. DC, 2018...More.

CANTO If I Only Had a Heart
Collects #1-6. Highly Recommended. By David Booher. Art by Drew Zucker. "If the Wizard of Oz and Brian Froud's Labrynth gave birth to a hero, it would be Canto." Enslaved for generations, Canto's people once had hearts. Now they have clocks. They are forbidden to love, or to even have names...yet Canto secretly does both. When slavers damage his friend's clock beyond repair, Canto embarks on an incredible journey through his strange and fantastic world to bring back her heart. As he faces fearsome creatures and finds unlikely (and equally fearsome) allies, can he find the mysterious Shrouded Man, the key to this strange world? Great plot twist, great characters (think Bone but without the slapstick). IDW, 2020...More.

And when the Floronic Man shows up hell-bent on harming Ivy, the duo has to hit the streets to avoid him. Very well drawn. Three pages of variant covers, which are actually double-cover images, plus 3 pages of pencils by Melo. DC Comics, 2020...More.

MISTER INVINCIBLE LOCAL HERO
A delightful spoof of comics, from France. Our Highest Recommendation. By Pascal Jousselin. Winner of the Bologna Ragazzi Comics Award, 2020. Mr. Invincible is an average looking, unassuming guy in wrestling tights and a mask who manages to frequently save the day through his amazing - and sometimes unexplainable - ability to bend the laws of space and time... by reaching literally outside the panels of this comic book to affect things in the surrounding panels! His incredible, creative intellect always shows him the most amazing solutions to seemingly insurmountable dangers. He truly is INVINCIBLE! Magnetic Press, 2020...More.

Item Code: MISINV
Soft Cover, 8x11, 96pg, Full Color
$15.99

I've read more of this since I wrote the description above, and I love it. This is truly a fun concept, never before explored like this. Mister Invincible uses comic panels to bend space AND time, as never done before. It's brilliant comics and laugh-out-loud funny. Check out the sample pages we've scanned, and see for yourself.

Coming Items Pre-payment

At risk of belaboring the point, this week (July 20-26) is the last that you can order coming items with no pre-payment. Due to our new software, coming on line on Monday, we will have to ask for advance payment (i.e. your credit card will be billed) for coming or out of stock items. We hope to customize a fix for this, to return to our old system of ship & bill, but for now, we have to live with this.

New Website Next Week

On Monday July 27, our new website will be up. I hope you find it interesting, easy to navigate, and more robust than our old one. Please call if you have any questions or difficulties, we are here 9am to 4pm every Monday-Friday, West Coast Time. See our latest catalog, on page 16, for more notes about our new website. You can download it right here, if you don't already have a print copy.

Credit Card Info

We cannot migrate your credit card information to our new software, since it's safely encrypted. So for your next order, beginning at noon on Thursday, July 23, we will need to get your credit card information and re-enter it. If you order by internet, we will call or send you an email. If you call in your order, you can give it to us right then.

If we have a backorder or coming items for you, we will either call you, or we will email you and ask you to call us, to get the credit card information. We only need this once, then we'll ship and charge your card as we normally do—for those backorders placed before July 27 (see above). We thank you for your patience and understanding during this transition period.
