1st printing. By Andy Singer. Today, we're married to our cars. But life behind the wheel of an automobile didn't come naturally to Americans. Crooked politicians, unscrupulous businessmen, burning streetcars, and convoluted tax shenanigans are a few of the players in this gripping tale of corruption, greed, and endless miles of asphalt. Comics, text, and historic photographs tell the story of the rise of the U.S. highway system and the corresponding demise of rail and public transportation. Also shown is the story of how we can ditch the car and rebuild a functional transportation system that will bring wealth, happiness, and freedom. Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 160 pages, PC/PB&W. Cover price $13.95.

(W/A) Mike Wolfer One of the premiere erotic/horror 'bad girls' of the 1990's is back, in the original adventures that endeared her to a generation of indy comics readers: The woman-spider known as 'Widow'! In this all-new printing of her classic tales of terror, romance, and extreme violence, sex, and gore, the seemingly innocent Emma weaves her spell over a secluded, Caribbean island and two shipwrecked FBI agents who have stumbled upon the secret, scientific lab of her father, Langford Harrow. In the steaming, island jungle, a hideous, half-human/half-spider mutation with a taste for human flesh is on the loose, but it is Emma's ties to the beast that turn this tale of deception, murder, and monsters into an absolute nightmare of horror. For mature readers only! Cover price $3.99.

1st printing. Story and art by Edel Rodriguez. Edel Rodriguez is among the most prominent political artists of our age. Now for the first time, he draws his own life, revisiting his childhood in Cuba and his family's passage on the infamous Mariel boatlift. When Edel was nine, Fidel Castro announced his surprising decision to let 125,000 traitors of the revolution, or "worms," leave the country. Edel's family's vocal discomfort with government surveillance had made their daily lives on a farm outside Havana precarious, and they secretly planned to leave. Before that happened, a dozen soldiers confiscated imprisoned them in a detention center near the port of Mariel, where they were held with dissidents and criminals before being marched to a flotilla that miraculously deposited them, overnight, in Florida. Through vivid, stirring art, Worm tells a story of a boyhood in the midst of the Cold War, a family's displacement in exile, and their tenacious longing for those they left behind. It also recounts the coming-of-age of an artist and activist, who, witnessing American's turn from democracy to extremism, struggles to differentiate his adoptive country from the dictatorship he fled.
