With nothing to lose, Christine finds a new sense of courage. She gets a job at her neighborhood video store, experiments with her art, and becomes romantically entangled with her next-door neighbor Whit, who's either the coolest guy ever or a total jerk. In spite of all this, she doesn't quite feel shiny-until a shocking betrayal shows her the value of the words and drawings she hides in her diary, and she finally understands that she doesn't need to be cool to be noticed-she only needs to be herself.

Beasts of the Blood-Stained Jackboot is a special edition in the popular Pulp Mayhem series that showcases one of the most vivid strands of illustrated pulp, dedicated to tales of Nazi marauders during World War 2.

The 22 stories included here portray Nazis as evil torturers and killers, whose victims were almost invariably scantily-clad, large-breasted female captives. It should be noted that rescuers, and sometimes the victims themselves, nearly always prevail against the threat of these vile monsters of war, who are never glorified but always shown as despicable and sadistic criminals.

This Little Golden Book about The Beatles-four friends from Liverpool who became the best-selling music act of all time-is an inspiring read-aloud for young children, as well as their parents and grandparents who are fans of the Fab Four.

1st printing. Edited by Alan Aldridge. Featuring the lyrics to many of the Beatles finest songs accompanied by beautiful artwork by a variety of talented artists who were inspired by each song's message. Softcover, 8 1/2-in. x 11-in., 156 pages, full color.

1st Printing - A subtle thread links the Beatles to comic strips. And not just because the four musicians had always been fanatic readers of those comics printed on cheap paper. Genuine icons of pop culture, like Marilyn and Coca-Cola, they were fated to meet up with the most classic means of expression, with a clear popular bent, a medium with great narrative and entertainment capacities that easily grabbed the attention of teens of both sexes. The book for the first time investigates and documents the interest that cartoonists, publishers and enthusiasts have shown in their special relationship with the universe of comic strips; a rich and variegated relationship with thousands of publications, in every part of the world, and a production that continues to the present day. In some stories the Beatles are the protagonists, in others they make cameo appearances, while others feature their lyrics transformed into comic strips. Published on the 50th anniversary of the Fab Four first single (Love Me Do) at the beginning of September 2012, the book celebrates the band with a festive, fun and original product, conveying a dimension that does not age, transmitting the legend that endures through the years and changing fashions. Hardcover, 8" x 11", 240 pages, full color. Cover price $39.95.

Fate has a new quest: chase down Myne and close the Door to Distant Lands-and maybe get some answers out of his resurrected father. This time, however, he's heading out with a whole party in tow, including Eris, Memil, and Roxy. But Fate's not the only one wrestling with this new camaraderie. Roxy's glad to finally be fighting by Fate's side, but she knows she won't be able to stay there unless she too reaches the Domain of E... if she can survive it.

But Fate will have to overcome more than Myne in the depths of Hausen-he'll have to face the darkness of her past and the truth of their forsaken world.

Volume 2 - 1st printing. "Walk on the Wild Side!" Written by Karl E. Wagner. Art by J. K. Potter.
