    Volume 13 - 1st printing. "Japanese Army Air Force Aces 1937-45!" Written by Henry Sakaida. Art by Grant Race. Little has been published in English on the Japanese Army Air Force (JAAF), let alone its most successful fighter pilots - no less than 150 of them achieved ace status during eight years of near-constant war, and they are all listed in this volume. From the arid plains of the Mongolian border region to the lush jungles of New Guinea, the JAAF was more than a match for the many opponents it fought against for control of the skies. Indeed, even when the mighty Allied war machine proved almost overwhelming from early 1944 onwards, the elite fighter pilots of the various sentais within the JAAF fought on with near-fanatical loyalty in defence of the Home Islands. Aircraft of the Aces 13 and 22 are also available in a single volume as ‘Aces of the Rising Sun 1937-1945'. Softcover, 96 pages, PC/PB&W. Cover price $22.95.

    Volume 14 - 1st printing. "P-38 Lightning Aces of the Pacific and CBI!" Written by John Stanaway. Art by Tom Tullis. The P-38 was used on virtually every front to which the USAAF were committed, but enjoyed its greatest successes in the Pacific and China-Burma-India (CBI) theatres. The speed, range and firepower of the P-38 made it the favourite of nearly all aircrew fighting in the Solomons, New Guinea and the Philippines, and over 1800 Japanese aircraft fell to its guns. From the first encounters at the end of 1942 until the Lightning scored the final Fifth Air force victories in August 1945, these pilots made the Pacific skies very much their own battleground. Softcover, 96 pages, PC/PB&W. Cover price $22.95.

    Otis Goes Hollywood (1997) 1

    By BOB FINGERMAN. Otis Pedblocker is a big, meaty hunk of naivete and good ol' American values.

Pretentious artists, snotty airlines, and smut peddlers fall before the terrible wrath of Otis Pedblocker. Mature Readers: Contains some nudity, profanity and extreme violence. B&W, 24 pg. Cover price $2.95.

    Written by Mark Schultz. Art by Gene Colan. Cover by Mark Schultz. Two days ago, the crew of a Chilean fishing vessel saw something fall from the sky. They were into the Humboldt current, watching the approach of a fast-moving weather front, when they heard a roar like a huge turbine in the sky. The rain swept over them, and through the sheets coming down through the clouds they saw a vision that at times took on material definition and flickered with an electricty of its own. Captain Cromartie has a pretty good idea what's down in those cold waters -- he's pretty sure he's fishing for Predators. But knowing what you're fishing for and knowing how to catch it are two totally different things. 32 pages, FC. Cover price $2.95.
