    Volume 1 [Gwandanaland Comics #2371] - This is a print to order book so publish dates may vary

    Collects Psycho (1971-1975 Skywald) Magazine #1-4.

    Cover by Brendan Lynch.

    Launched by Golden Age veteran Sol Brodsky and I.W. Publishing's pirate reprinter Israel Waldman, Skywald (using parts of each last name) was going to be the next force in comics! The long list of established professionals suiggested that this would be the case: Writers T. Casey Brennan, Gerry Conway, Steve Englehart, Gardner Fox, Doug Moench, Dave Sim, Len Wein, and Marv Wolfman, and artists Rich Buckler, Gene Day Vince Colletta, Bill Everett, Bruce Jones, Pablo Marcos, Syd Shores, Chic Stone, and Tom Sutton (plus a little work from newcomer John Byrne). The line centered on horror, with NIGHTMARE, PSYCHO and SCREAM headlining. The stories were top-notch and the artwork unparalleled, and for five years Skywald offered masters of the genre. Alas, this small company could not compete with the power of major distributors of Marvel and DC, being pushed off the newsstands, until in 1975 the last Skywald issue was published.

    Skywald produced incredible stories, but they were negligent in one very important task – they failed to copyright their horror mags. So, for the first time in Gwandanaland ComicsTM history, we're able to bring you some great books from the 1970s! Look for the individual issues, economical four-issue collections, and even some bigger than that!

    Softcover, 9 1/2-in. x 12-in., 266 pages, B&W.

    NOTE: This is a print to order book so publish dates may vary.

    Story and art by Chris C. Cilla.

    Chris Cajero Cilla's (The Heavy Hand) new book from FU Press is a collection of the artist's short stories created over the past decade-plus that recall the work of contemporary masters such as Matthew Thurber and Michael Deforge, as well as the great underground comix of the 1960s and 1970s. Cilla co-mingles styles and genres in the service of surrealist gems such as "Burp's Law," "Exqueezmeat," and "Labyrinthectomy," all of which will buoy you with a blissfully dull buzz, long after you've put it down.

    Written by Raoul Vezina, Tom Skulan, Roger Green, and Mitch Cohn. Art by Raoul Vezina and Bill Anderson. Cover by Raoul Vezina. Photography by Francis Parsons, Bill DeMichele, and Roger Green. Introduction by Tom Skulan.

    This big volume collects all the art, advertisements, newspaper strips, greeting cards and comic book stories featuring the rascally rodent, Smilin' Ed Smiley created by the late cartoonist Raoul Vezina.

    Smilin' Ed had a large following in the late 1970's and early 1980's until the untimely death of Vezina in 1984. Ed, a wisecracking rodent, gets involved with gangsters, crazed collectors, movie producers and even a television show. The humor is sly satire blended perfectly with Vezina's clever cartoon characters.

    Lovin' Remembrances by Roger Green, Bill Anderson, Michael T. Gilbert, and Fred Hembeck, and a special heartfelt tribute from Raoul's sister, Maria Vezina.

    Story and art by Nate Powell.

    Nate Powell's intricate black and white art focuses on the terrors and pleasures of growing up. Poignantly plumbing the existential angst of youth, he invokes great coming-of-age novels with only a few dozen words.

    This book collects his self-published zines and comics dating back to 1992, his first two graphic novels (Tiny Giants and It Disappears), and new work. These stories build vignette by vignette into a rich tableau of lofty dreams and Deep South disappointment, car crashes and love letters, first kisses and four-tracks. Powell's work is a reminder of the persistence of wonder against all odds.
