DEADMAN Omnibus Collects Strange Adventures #205-216, Brave and the Bold #79, 86, 104, 133, Deadman #1-4, and much more, 1967-86. Highly Recommended. Created by Arnold Drake and Carmine Infantino in 1967, it was nonetheless talented young newcomer Neal Adams that put his stamp on the character with incredible, powerful, and innovative artwork. Deadman was a circus performer known as "Boston" Brand who was murdered while on the high-wire. In the afterlife, his spirit gained the ability to possess the bodies of the living. First so he could discover the identity of his killer and bring him to justice — then, to fight crime and supernatural menaces. Also featuring spectacular art by Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez, Deadman continues as part of DC's universe, one of their most unusual heroes (hey, he's dead! Shades of The Spectre!).

Tired of the thieving life, Conan signs on as a mercenary for the warring kingdom of Turan. The enemy will report on Conan’s legendary skill in battle — if any of them live to tell the tale — but palace intrigue may prove more dangerous to the barbarian.

BLACK PANTHER The Early Marvel Years Omnibus Volume 1 Highly Recommended. For the first time the complete classic adventures of the Black Panther — first in a line of Omnibus editions.

Roy Thomas, joined by top artists including John Buscema, brought the Panther into the ranks of the Avengers and delved into his origins and backstory. Then, Don McGregor launched T’Challa’s first solo series. His “Panther’s Rage” was an adventure so huge it ranged across the savannah, into the deepest jungles and over snow-topped mountains.

Reproducing the initial eleven issues of the world’s first true science-fiction comic, this seminal collection exemplifies the genre’s Golden Age. Full of vivid artistry and narrative twists, the trailblazing series features wildly imaginative tales of nuclear apocalypse, interstellar adventures, and glittering utopias. Rather than recolor the artwork, this edition works with super-high-resolution photographs of each page as it was printed more than half a century ago, using modern retouching techniques to correct problems with the era’s inexpensive, imperfect printing. The result is a pristine product, keeping the character and feel of the classic issues, but freshly printed by a world-class press oversized, nearly twice the original size. Taschen, 2025. Rush Service and International shipping could require an additional charge....More. Item Code: ECLWS01D Hard Cover, 11x16, 462pg, Full Color |

MISS FURY JOY DIVISION Signed An original graphic novel. Signed bookplate by Billy Tucci! Writer Billy Tucci, along with artists Maria Laura Sanapo and Edu Menna, delves into the deep dark secret of the Nazi regime. This fits perfectly into a continuity gap in the original Tarpe Mills stories, in the summer of 1944! Through the 1940s, several Nazi concentration camps featured brothels wherein Jewish women were forced to work as prostitutes for soldiers. This rarely discussed, dark tragedy of history remains starkly relevant today. Now, Miss Fury and her team of Black Furies have discovered this cruel phenomenon — and they're going to kick some Nazi ass, in an all-female style mission of revenge. Dynamite, 2022....More.

KAFKA'S MANUSCRIPT With a stylistic nod to the wordless novels of Frans Masereel and the expressionist drawings of Franz Kafka himself, Jason Novak’s short (and wordless) graphic novel begins at the author’s deathbed, where he entrusts his friend Max Brod with the task of destroying his unpublished papers. Brod refuses, and what follows is the story of how Kafka’s literary legacy escaped Europe under the shadow of fascism. It is a survey of Kafka’s paranoid landscape in kinetoscopic monochrome.

THE SPIDER: CRIME UNLIMITED Collects Fleetway Super Picture Library #2 & 4, 1967. By Jerry Siegel and Donne Avenell. Art by Aldo Marculeta and Giorgio Trevisan. The Spider (not to be confused with the 1930s pulp hero) was an anti-hero created in British comics but written, in part, by Superman-co-creator Jerry Siegel. He is the uncrowned king of the New York underworld, so elusive to the police that he even manages to taunt the Police Commissioner at his retirement party. But Professor Aldo Cummings, a famous but ill-tempered scientist, determined to stop the schemes of the Spider once and for all, invents a ray-machine which will eliminate the evil from a person's personality. Unfortunately, a tragic miscalculation will turn Professor Cummings into the Professor of Power, and he will seek a more direct confrontation with the Spider. Rebellion/2000 AD, 2022....More.
