Volume 32 - 1st printing. "The Second World War Part 6!" By Russell Hart, and Stephen A Hart. This book examines the seminal Northwest Europe campaign of the Second World War. This hard-fought campaign conducted by the Western Allies against the Germans during 1944-45 represented, for the former, the decisive theatre of the entire Second World War. From the desperate and risk-laden D-Day landings on 6 June 1944 to the rapid charge through western and central Germany in the last weeks of the war, American, British, Canadian and French military forces took on and defeated the German military. This victory ensured that the scourge of Nazism was finally expunged from the face of Europe. Softcover, 96 pages, PC/PB&W Cover price $14.95.

The League of Lost Men. Story by Lee Falk. Art and cover by Ray Moore. Pacific Comics Club reprints the comic-strip adventures of the seemingly immortal crime-fighter called The Phantom. Collects The Phantom Sunday pages from May 28th to October 15th, 1939. First printed in Italy for comics art collectors, this does not feature Lee Falk's original text, but is translated back into English from Italian. Likewise, the Phantom's costume is red on the cover, which is how the character appears in Italy. This issue includes the very first Sunday strip, a retelling of the Phantom's origin. The survivor of a pirate attack swears vengeance against all forms of crime, becoming the first Phantom. Through the ages to the present day, each generation has taken up the mantle, and the distinctive costume, so that enemies believe there is only one Phantom. Treasury-sized 9-1/2-in. x 13-1/2-in., 24 pages, B&W.
