TERRY AND THE PIRATES The Master Collection Volume 2
1936 The Burma Blues. Our Highest Recommendation. Sparks fly when Terry, Pat and Connie have their first meeting with the beautiful blonde Burma. Then things get really hot when the Dragon Lady and her men lay siege to Blaze's encampment! A twist of fate puts Pat in charge of the Dragon Lady's forces, but they're mistaken for soldier-of-fortune pirates when the Chinese Army storms their position. Another entire year of both Sunday and Daily strips, reproduced from Milton Caniff's personal set of color syndicate tabloid proofs. The two continue their separate paths until the end of August when the stories — and cast of characters — are happily united once and for all. Clover Press, 2022. ...More.

Despite saving Sandhurst's miserable life on multiple occasions, Tony connives to bring charges against Pat. Friends and a former lover help acquit him, even as Connie finds a new ally, the gentle giant, Big Stoop. Burma and Captain Judas both make return appearances, and the year ends with Terry, Burma, and Connie assisting ragtag Chinese peasants, unaware a new menace grows near. Clover Press, 2022. ...More.

RAYGUNS AND ROCKETSHIPS Vintage Science Fiction Book Cover Art
Highly Recommended. By Rian Hughes. Forword by Steve Holland. Art by Josh Kirby, John Richards, Henry Fox, Ron Turner, Jack Goggins et al. This is one cool book. We've all seen those wonderful classic pulp covers...on U.S. pulps. But there's another universe of pulp and paperback classics all produced in England and rarely seen in the U.S. Here at last is a full collection! - Bud. Rayguns and rockets! Spacesuited heroes caught in the tentacles of evil insectoid aliens! Who could resist such wonders? Science-fiction paperbacks exploded over the 1940s and ‘50s literary landscape with the force of an alien gamma bomb. Titles such as Rodent Mutation, The Human Bat vs The Robot Gangster, Dawn of the Mutants and Mushroom Men from Mars appeared from fly-by-night publishers making the most of the end of post-war paper rationing. They were brash and seductive - for around a shilling, the future was yours. Korero Press, 2022....More.

Sara is a gripping war story following a team of young women trained as Russian snipers as they beat back the Nazi invaders during a brutal winter campaign on the WWII Eastern Front. In the cold winter of 1942, beautiful but cold and dedicated Soviet sniper Sara and her comrades justify killing the Nazis who have turned their homes into a bloodbath.

WALT DISNEY DONALD DUCK Donald's Happiest Adventures
Recommended. By Lewis Trondheim. Art by Nicolas Kéramidas. When Donald grouses that money will never buy Uncle Scrooge happiness, Scrooge snaps — and sets Donald on a treasure hunt for happiness itself. A terrible task for an unlucky Duck— or is it? With help from Professor Ludwig Von Drake, deep in the cranky kingdom of Brutopia — the impossible may be possible! Presented as a "lost" 1960s Disney story — complete with retro-style color — Donald's Happiest Adventures bristles with wit in the Carl Barks tradition— and bustles with the whole Disney comics cast, including friends and rivals Gladstone Gander, Mickey Mouse, and Pegleg Pete!

SIR ALFRED Volume 3
Oversized and irresistable! Highly Recommended. Behind the bonhomie, his "British touch," and his legendary films adored by the entire planet, Alfred Hitchcock turns out to have been in turn miserable, dangerous, mean, insensitive, obsessed, mad, and often screaming with laughter and/or dread. Master cartoonist Tim Hensley (Wally Gropius, Detention #2) paints a satiric and oblique portrait in this oversized one-shot (there is no Sir Alfred #1 or 2) that somehow informs the reader more about Hitchcock than most conventional history. Fantagraphics, 2022....More.

AVATAR THE HIGH GROUND Volume 1
During the development process of creating the four Avatar sequels, a lot of new ideas and stories were created and discussed. One such EPIC original story idea that didn’t make it into the sequels was James Cameron’s original story: "The High Ground." Cameron shared what he had written with Dark Horse Comics and it is now being adapted by award-winning author Sherri L. Smith (The Toymaker’s Apprentice, Orleans), and illustrated by Brazilian artist Guilherme Balbi. Dark Horse, 2022....More.

Unusual for a manga tale, this is in printed in partial color. Includes nine bonus pages describing each creature in legend. Nicely drawn. Dark Horse Manga, 2022....More.
