THE SPECTRE By John Ostrander and Tom Mandrake Omnibus Volume 1 Collects The Spectre #0-31 and more, 1986-95. New Introduction and issue commentary by Ostrander. Never-before-seen development art by Mandrake. Highly Recommended. Writer John Ostrander and artist Tom Mandrake were already well-established in the comics world by 1992, following acclaimed runs on Suicide Squad and Batman. In these tales from the 1990s, dead police detective Jim Corrigan tries to end his mission as the all-powerful but unforgiving Spectre. But the grisly crimes of a serial killer pull him back into the battle for justice, and send him on a trip to hell itself.

ALSO AVAILABLE SPECTRE — THE WRATH OF THE SPECTRE Omnibus New printing. Our Highest Recommendation. 1966-81. By Gardner Fox & Murphy Anderson, Michael Fleisher & Jim Aparo, Neal Adams et al. Originally introduced in 1940 and co-created by Jerry Siegel, co-creator of Superman, the Spectre was a green-caped, white-skinned, all-powerful demi-god who meted out his own version of justice — very grim justice! DC's grim arbiter resurfaced in the 1960s, brought back by the dream-team of Julius Schwartz, Gardner Fox and Murphy Anderson in Showcase in 1966, then in The Brave and the Bold, in ten issues of his own title, also by Fox and Anderson, and ultimately returned to the all-powerful 1940s version dark Spectre as reimagined by Fleisher and Aparo in Adventure Comics #431-440.

Our Highest Recommendation. This includes the first revival with great art by Murphy Anderson and stories by Gardner Fox...then we have Neal Adams' work, and then the violent (and controversial) Michael Fleisher revival in Adventure Comics, with outstanding art by Jim Aparo. Another top-tier outstanding collection in this fine series. Originally introduced in More Fun Comics #42 in 1940 and co-created by Jerry Siegel, co-creator of Superman, DC's grim arbiter of justice, the Spectre, resurfaced in the 1960s for all-new — and sometimes controversial — stories demonstrating the true power of his vengeance.

ANIMALIA & FANTASIA The Magical Worlds & Fantastic Creatures of Professor Anton Seder Slipcased Special full-color dragon slipcase, hand signed by the publisher on a tipped-in vellum sheet from 888 copies. Our Highest Recommendation. By Anton Seder. Text by Thomas Negovan. Psychedelic starfish, omniscient owls, sinuous dragons, and bizarre imaginary sea creatures!

New from Flesk and Tran Nguyen |

SPECTRES By Tran Nguyen Highly Recommended. A curated collection of over 110 smaller artworks made in the past decade. Each painting is a means of exploration, a study whose purpose is to develop a deep understanding of new media. The works depict loosely rendered female portraits or, occasionally, animals. They were created without the restraints imposed by extensive preliminaries that Tran often adheres to as part of her standard illustration process. This study series started out as an outlet for trying new ideas, materials, color palettes and substrates, without the looming pressure of perfection or deadlines. They fulfill Tran's need to be adventurous, which allows her to stumble with her brushstrokes and evolve as an artist. Flesk, 2025....More. Item Code: SPECTH Hard Cover, 9x12, 160pg, Partial Color |

AMBEDO The Art of Tran Nguyen New Printing. Deluxe Hardcover, page edges in gold. Highly Recommended. 120 paintings and drawings by this award-winning illustrator and fine artist. Born in Vietnam and raised in the States, she is fascinated by creating traditional paintings in the realms of fantasy and surrealism. Tran illustrates for magazines, books, product packaging, advertising and mural art. Her clients include Smithsonian magazine, Tiger Beer, the World Wildlife Fund and Amazon, and she has been showcased in galleries across the world. “Ambedo is a collection of all of the sweat and tears I’ve shed in the past decade of my career." Flesk, 2025....More. Item Code: AMBEH Hard Cover, 9x12, 192pg, Full Color $39.95 |
| Tran’s work also appears in Infected by Art Volumes 7 (she was the featured cover artist), 8 and 10. And probably others since we cannot catalog every contributor. Here’s more Infected by Art and more Spectrum Annuals for similar fantasy art from new creators like Tran. |

ATLAS ARTIST EDITION Volume 1 Joe Maneely Closeout Price! Our Highest Recommendation. A cornucopia, 256 pages, of Maneely’s finest!

LACKADAISY Volume 1 Closeout Price! Highly Recommended. Deluxe Hardcover in Jacket. By Tracy J. Butler. The cult classic, Eisner Award-nominated webcomic, finally available in a handsome collected edition. It’s 1927 and Prohibition is in full effect in St. Louis, Missouri. Organized crime has risen to meet the relentless demand for illicit alcohol. Bootleggers, gangsters, and might-makes-right rule dominate the city’s underworld, fueled by the patrons of speakeasies like Lackadaisy. In the tradition of Blacksad, a delightful anthropomorphic world... The style of the comic is highly detailed, with elegantly attired cartoon characters that resemble styles from animated films of Walt Disney and Don Bluth. The earlier strips are sepia-toned, resembling aged photographs of the 1920s era, while more recent pages can be seen fully colored, often in shades of deep blue. Launched by Butler in July 2006, the comic updates on an irregular basis, with the most recent update published in 2020. Iron Circus Comics, 2024....More. Item Code: LACKA Hard Cover, 10x11, 178pg, Two Color |

BLACK ADAM Box Set Closeout Price! 3-book boxed set. By Geoff Johns. Art by Gary Frank.

 |
GHOST COMICS Volume 2 Closeout Price! Collects #6-11, 1953-54. Highly Recommended. This unfairly forgotten series boasted some of the best covers of any of the EC wannabes. Forgotten masters Maurice Whitman did these and all the final Fiction House covers, his best-ever work of his career. Plus EC's very own Jack Kamen regularly pops up. Wonderful stuff. This was material that suggested unpleasantness rather than just stepped forward and pulled the old schlock-it-up-lever. Heartily recommended for the more discerning horror comics reader. PS Artbooks, 2024....More. Item Code: PCGS02 Soft Cover, 7x10, 216pg, Full Color |

ARTISTS AGAINST THE WAR Closeout Price! Highly Recommended. Art by Ralph Steadman, Peter de Seve, Milton Glaser, et al. Edited with an introduction by Steve Brodner. Based on the 2008 Society of Illustrators' exhibit, "Artists Against the War", this draws from the history of graphic protest and demonstrates the many ways that illustrators — in comics, editorial cartoons, illustrations for magazine articles, and so on — have reflected on the representations and misrepresentations of war, specifically in Iraq and Afghanistan. 56 nationally-known contributors, an all-star list including Grossman, Arisman, Kuper, Sorel, Holland, Billout, Silverman, Tim O'Brien, Banyai et al.

A friend pointed out how wonderful it was to finally have this issue intact…but when I reviewed it, I realized we’d never added all the creators who worked on this. Duh! Check this list out: From 1971. Highly Recommended. By Gardner Fox, Harry Harrison, Larry Niven and Terry Carr. Cover & art by Jeff Jones, along with art by Michael Kaluta, Berni Wrightson, Bruce Jones, Rich Buckler, Jack Katz, Vince Colletta, and Chic Stone. |

For the first time ever, Skywald’s famous, never printed magazine!! This would have been the first adult Sci-Fi comic since EC’s Incredible Science Fiction, but the belief of the publishers, Sol Brodsky (“Sky”, who was a long time Marvel production person) and Israel Waldman (“Wald”), that SF just didn’t sell plus budgetary constraints, meant the magazine was withdrawn, although only after film had been made and just before delivery to the printers! PS Artbooks, 2025. SFOM01. Comic, 7x10, 68pg, b&w $22.99 |

“The first topic is regarding our upcoming The Horror Art of Bruce Timm book. I actually have an advance copy of the book right here on my desk as I type this. I’m intentionally not sharing any previews or information about the book yet. It has been printed and it’s making the journey from Hong Kong to Santa Cruz, CA along with the new Art of Daniel Warren Johnson art book. Look for both around the beginning of December. With the success of the new Portfolio by Mark Schultz book, we are now planning a Carbon collection for 2026. Once we've sorted out all of the details we'll be sure to share all of the specifications and its release date. A new Bill Stout collection, The Comics Volume 1, is in the works also. Note: Mark Schultz’s Portfolio is now out of print. We have 12 copies left, still at cover price [MSPORT. $49.95]. Signed by Mark. Here is more by Mark Schultz, including his Various Drawings Volumes 2-5 and the Illustrators Special Quarterly #48 (cover A is out of print, we have just 9 copies left) [IQ48A and IQ48B. $30 ea]. |

|
Vol 30 will be here any day now, release is Nov 18. Volume 31: 1997-98 is coming in June of 2026. The march to the end of the Cullen Murphy era and the beginning of the Gary Gianni era continues. Here’s an advance look at Vol 31: "On its sixtieth anniversary, the strip looks back on Prince Valiant’s eventful life as many threads begin to come together that will change the face of Camelot. Dire times as a three-way war erupts between Arthur’s British kingdom, the Picts, and the Jutes; Aleta, Maeve, and Ingrid are thrown into prison; Camelot falls to a barbarian army; and King Arthur makes a last stand. Plus: Galleries of the best images from Prince Valiant by its creator Hal Foster chosen by artist admirers and comic-strip experts." |

We’re pleased that this is not yet sold out! It’s a superlative issue, so we packed in a lot of extra copies to satisfy demand [CBCR40. $24.95]. Twomorrows was hit rather hard by the Diamond bankruptcy, so we don’t anticipate them to be printing lots of extra on new books like this and others recently announced. FYI.

No "Vintage" Calendars this year |
|
The Vintage line of calendars (Science Fiction, Pulp, Classic Comics, etc) line went up to the rather outrageous price of $30 each; $25 was already a lot for what could be a $15.99 or $17.99 or maybe tops, a $19.99 calendar. They didn’t bother to contact us months ago when all the other calendar manufacturers did…so the line slipped by without our ordering them. All the calendars we ARE handling are on the website and in the latest catalog. ~Bud |
