Ten years ago, when they were both still children, Ukyo made a special okonomiyaki sauce-which Ranma secretly ruined. Unaware of what Ranma had done, Ukyo to this day can't quite understand why Ranma's being extra nice to her despite the phenomenal failure of her special sauce. Akane's onto Ranma, though, and one way or another, he's going to pay. Which will it be, Ranma? The okonomiyaki frying pan, or the fire that comes from slurping down that nasty sauce itself...?

But then again, the monk did throw in such other lovely gifts...Back at the Tendo Dojo, the true nature of the outfit is revealed: the dogi chooses its own wearer! The outfit picks Akane-much to Ranma's chagrin-and what once was a minor annoyance turns into an issue of pride when Ranma is unable to defeat Akane in battle. Will he have to confess his true feelings to get through to her...? Softcover, 5-in x 7-in., 192 pages, B&W. NOTE: 22 & Up are NOT 2nd Edition. Cover price $9.95.

By Richard Foster.

She has been called the most photographed model in history.

From her modest beginnings in Nashville to her legacy as a cult figure, here is the true story of America's iconic pinup queen, legendary Playboy centerfold Bettie Page. During the 1950s, Bettie set hearts ablaze with her killer curves and girl-next-door smile. Yet at the height of her popularity, with a promising acting career before her, she walked away. Journalist Richard Foster became the first reporter to contact Page during her long absence, and the first to tell her full story.

The Real Bettie Page reveals both the fun flirt and fashion-forward counter-culture icon whose style continues to inspire today, as well as the intriguing and complex, flesh-and-blood woman behind her smiling photos.

1st printing. By Jim Woodring. Jim Woodring's charcoal drawings take the otherworldly qualities of his comics (The Frank Book) to a higher level of clarity and nuance. These crisply rendered images reflect his life-long obsession with hidden worlds, alternate realities and the inexplicable resonance of the unprecedented and irrational in lucid art. Seeing Things collects the most toothsome of these drawings and arranges them in four sections. "Lazy Robinson" is a series of portraits of forms taken by a cognizant object during the course of a specific and identifiable stream of thought. "Frogs" celebrates the tender proclivities of the most noble of all animals, by placing them in situations that would dismay a horde of saints. "The Visible World" is a roundup of appalling scenes of sub-rational political activity involving catalytic entities with a high ratio of motivation to altruism. And "The Portfolio in Color" appears like a rainbow at the end of all this exalted storminess to send readers out into the world whistling with delight. Many of these images were created for "Mysterio Sympatico," Woodring's multimedia stage collaboration with guitarist Bill Frisell. There is plenty of echoless, glowing furniture to add to that already crowded storeroom which is briefly, but brilliantly, illuminated in the pages of this stately book. Hardcover, 8-in. x 10 1/2-in., 104 pages, B&W. Cover price $22.95.
