MEN AT SEA Our Highest Recommendation. All art by Riff Reb's. Prose by Joseph Conrad, William Hope Hodgson, Poe, Verne, Jack London, et al.

RED RANGE A Wild Western Adventure Signed Signed by Lansdale, Glanzman & Bissette plus bonus postcard. By Joe R. Lansdale and Sam Glanzman. Afterword by Stephen R. Bissette.

Abruptly in the midst of the atrocity, the Kluxers are interrupted by a mysterious rider who's a deadly shot with both his pistols and long-range Sharps buffalo rifle. It's the feared and hated (by the KKK, at least) Red Mask, a tough, lethal, black man who wisely keeps his identity concealed." --Locus. And then there are the dinosaurs! Drew Ford, 2017....More.

EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS A PRINCESS OF MARS Recommended. Cover by Michael Whelan. When publisher Chenault & Gray produced the highly acclaimed Edgar Rice Burroughs 100-Year Chronology set, as a bonus kickstarter project they created this.
