Volume 12 - 1st printing. "Three Foot Battle!"

Written by Kazuo Koike. Art and cover by Goseki Kojima.

The march continues as Japan's future shogun moves to the center of Japan to claim it as his own. But along the way he'll have to deal with intense and complicated politics, strange and sometimes perverted fighting techniques, and a rapidly changing samurai culture in old Japan. And often the history of Japan all rests on the wiles of shogun-to-be Ieyasu's clever and loyal ninja, Hattori Hanzo.

Lone Wolf & Cub creators Kazuo Koike and Goseki Kojima are experts at weaving an intense and sometimes oddly sensational yarn, and this quasi-historical tale of a young man's rise to the top of samurai politics doesn't pull any punches.

Softcover, 4-in. x 6-in., 320 pages, B&W. MATURE READERS

NOTE: These are Japanese manga-style GNs and are meant to be read right-to-left.

1st printing. By Jim Woodring. Readers who haven't discovered Jim Woodring's "Frank" stories have a colossal treat waiting for them in this gem collecting the character's greatest adventures. Frank is a unique, visionary comic, exquisitely drawn and so fully realized that adults and children alike find themselves drawn deeply into Woodring's hallucinatory mindscape. The stories, almost entirely wordless, are told with brilliant, candy colors. The stories themselves unravel like a good puzzle, rewarding re-reading, providing an experience as immersive as that first love affair, that first samadhi, or that first breath. Simply put, the world of Frank must be experienced to be understood.Frank is an 11-year-old generic anthropomorph who lives in a force-laden landscape called the Unifactor. He is curious but not smart, naïve but not noble, and his most outstanding character trait is his ineducability. Along with Pupshaw, Frank's semi-subservient housedog-like godling, the two traipse across their surreal landscape, occasionally encountering Manhog, the bloated bladder of sin with a heart of radiance who exists to thwart their prosperity. And then there's the platonic Jerry Chickens, and the lachrymose Lucky, as well as Frank's Real Pa and Faux Pa, each a part of one of the great cartoon achievements of the 20th century.For all its mystery, the world of Frank is a simple, delightful, mesmerizing example of world-building at its most fanciful, surely to delight parents and children alike. Softcover, 6-in. x 8 1/2-in., 200 pages, B&W. Cover price $16.99.

This delightful boxed set of three tiny hardcover books revisits the first year of Wheeler's run in the legendary college humor newspaper. Postage Stamp Funnies runs every week in The Onion, enjoying a circulation of over 1,000,000! Wheeler's Too Much Coffee Man has more fans than ever before and the live entertainment event Too Much Coffee Man: The Opera has achieved cult status.
