NORSE MYTHOLOGY The Illustrated Edition
Our Highest Recommendation. By Neil Gaiman, art by Levi Pinfold. A dazzling new illustrated edition of Gaiman’s Norse text stories. The stunning paintings by award-winning illustrator Levi Pinfold are often double page — the haunting scenes remind us of the wonderful illustrated Lovecraft stories from Design Studio, (Dunwich Horror, At the Mountains of Madness). Neil Gaiman’s bravura rendition of the Norse gods and their world has already sold very well as a graphic novel; this is an entirely new take on his reimagining the Norse pantheon of Thor, Odin, Loki, Baldur and the other gods!

TELL ME A STORY WHERE THE BAD GIRL WINS The Life And Art of Barbara Shermund
Highly Recommended. By Caitlin McGurk. An oversized, impressive book on an artist we'd never heard of — yet she's done work for all the major magazines and for King Features — even saucy Playboy-style cartoons! An official biography and coffee table art collection honoring the life and art of pioneering cartoonist Barbara Shermund, an unheralded early master of magazine cartooning whose career spanned its heyday, the 1920s to the 1960s. Her sharp wit and loose style boldly tapped the zeitgeist of first-wave feminism with vivid characters that were alive and astute. Shermund’s women spoke their minds about sex, marriage, and society; smoked cigarettes and drank; and poked fun at everything in an era when it was not common to see young women doing so. Shermund left behind a body of work that was ahead of its time and remains insightful, witty, relevant, and contemporary. Fantagraphics, 2024. ...More.

MIGHTY MARVEL CALENDAR BOOK A Visual History
Highly Recommended. By Chris Ryall. Introduction by Roy Thomas. Seven years of Marvel history — From 1975-81, Marvel created seven consecutive calendars using their top artists...designed and as captivatingly written as any of their comics. Each of these annual calendars — whether they celebrated the Bicentennial (1976) or spotlighted a specific character such as Spider-Man (1978), Hulk (1979), or Doctor Strange (1980), featured heroes and villains across the pantheon of the Marvel Universe — and all shared inspired features: call-outs for birthdays of noted Marvel staff and creators; key moments in Marvel history; special events, famous quotes from fan-favorite issues, and other celebratory mentions.

WALLY WOOD FROM WITZEND Complete Collection
Our Highest Recommendation. Hall of Fame comics creator Wallace Woods' revolutionary, self-published witzend (often spelled in all lower case) has always been hard to define — the birth of the pro-zine, underground, independent.... Whatever you call it, Wood’s witzend was a mid-'60s milestone event that represented all of the loftiest Fine Art goals of the Underground Movement including art-for-art’s-sake, freedom from censorship, and creator rights. For the first time ever, this single volume collects ALL of Wood's own contributions to his revolutionary witzend including Animan, Sally Forth, The Rejects, Bucky Ruckus, Pipsqueek Papers, The Wizard King, Snorky, Lunar Tunes, and more.

ATLAS COMICS LIBRARY 4 War Comics Volume 1
Our Highest Recommendation. Major Historical Essay by Dr. Michael J. Vassallo.

Propaganda abounds from the very first story, published in War Comics #1 in September 1950: "Peril in Korea," a primer explaining why the US joined the conflict. Other highlights include Colan's "The Chips are Down" and "Victory," Heath's "Alone" and "No Survivors," Maneely's "Stormy Weather," Henkel's "Total Destruction," and Berg's "The Infantry's War."

Batman

 


THE BATMAN First Knight
Collects #1-3, 2024. Highly Recommended. Wow, this is really impressive — a dark and different solo Batman adventure from his 1930s roots. Wrightson could not have drawn it better! - Bud. From legendary comics writer Dan Jurgens and superstar Batman artist Mike Perkins comes a pulp-influenced noir take on the caped crusader set in his debut year, 1939. Fascism is on the rise, and Batman is labeled “the vigilante”. At the center of a series of crimes, Batman comes to the conclusion that the prime suspects in each case were already dead, brought back to life? DC Comics, 2024....More.

BLACK MARY Volume 1 The Departed
First of two volumes. Recommended. By Rodolphe. Art by Florence Magnin. A pirate/ghost story in two parts. The peace of Mordwick, an affluent coastal village in England, is shattered by the news that mysterious individuals have come ashore to dig up the recently departed. They looked like pirates, and rumors swell that the infamous captain Black Mary, a legendary, freedom-loving marauder desperately wanted by the Royal Navy, is involved. Could she be the cause of a wave of spectral apparitions sweeping through the kingdom — including that of the ghost of the recently departed king himself? The hero of our story is about to find out, as he's taken aboard the mysterious ship captained by an equally mysterious woman...Black Mary. Nudity, adult situations. Cinebook, 2024. Mature Readers....More.

BLACK MARY Volume 2 Passage to the Hereafter
Complete in two volumes. Recommended. By Rodolphe. Art by Florence Magnin. Rescued at sea by Black Mary, Lord James, the libertine aristocrat who longed for adventure, is utterly enthralled by the fierce pirate captain — enough so that when she boards a royal warship, he chooses to fight at her side. With her ship badly damaged, though, Mary must return to her hidden base, an island not on any map. For good reason: the inhabitants of the island are the men and women who died at sea, and remain there until it is time to move on to the afterlife.... Nudity, adult situations. Cinebook, 2024. Mature Readers.  ...More.

LONESOME Volume 4 Sorcerer's Domain
Highly Recommended. By Yves Swolfs. One of my very favorite French series — a violent but satisfying hero who excels in every gunfight. - Bud. Kansas, January 1961. Elijah, aka Lonesome, comes to New York to settle accounts. Instead, he finds a family lost to time and memory. But neither he nor his newfound sister Miss Lyle, a lovely and deadly Pinkerton agent, are able to confront the one responsible for all their woes: their father, Senator Dawson. He has gone to ground deep inside a forest that belongs to Cromley, a feared cultist from previous volumes. Minor nudity. Cinebook. 2024....More.

POPEYE Volume 4 Swee'pea & Eugene the Jeep
Recommended. This dynamic concluding volume introduces a curious creature from the fourth dimension — Eugene the Jeep. He has the power of teleportation and now the strip is infused with an oddball, otherworldly quality. Elsewhere, Wimpy continues his befuddling antics; the wily orphan Swee’Pea and the patriarch Poopdeck Pappy cause domestic hijinks; and Popeye does battle with the big bad Man from Mars! Plus, contemporary artist Kayla E. pens a comic homage to the topsy-turvy character headlining this volume. Fantagraphics, 2024....More.

GREEN LANTERN / GREEN ARROW Hard Traveling Heroes Omnibus
1376 pages! Green Lantern #76-87 and 89-123 plus 28 more issues including The Flash. Our Highest Recommendation. Should heroes be concerned with the galaxy when they can’t help their own planet? It’s a pointed question that Green Arrow asks Hal Jordan (Green Lantern). Dennis O’Neil and Neal Adams tackle subjects in this superhero story that had never been seen in mainstream comics before — drugs, violence, homelessness. Travel across the United States with Oliver Queen and Hal Jordan as their superhero alter egos try to understand the subtleties of issues that our country was facing in the 1970s. Award-winning, highly acclaimed stories by two stellar comics talents. DC Comics, 2024. Rush Service and International shipping could require an additional charge....More.

It’s a good thing Rom has allies, including his armored companion, Starshine, and fellow heroes including Nick Fury, Doctor Strange, Ant-Man, Alpha Flight and the New Mutants — but will perennial sidekick, Rick Jones, be his new best pal?
