    Volume 1 - 1st printing. Story and art by Robert Ripley. Ripley's Believe It or Not! Odditoriums are among the most popular attractions worldwide, yet most people don't know that it all started with a daily cartoon drawn by one man-Robert Ripley. Originally a sports cartoonist, Ripley developed Believe It or Not! in the 1920s. By the end of the decade, the series had become a phenomenal hit. In an era when few people traveled outside their own hometown, let alone out of the country, Ripley became a globetrotter, seeking stories of bizarre and unusual proportion to put in his internationally known feature. The cartoons were adapted into radio and television programs, and helped make Ripley the highest paid cartoonist in the world. This series begins a chronological reprinting of Ripley's famous daily cartoons in hardcover collections, reminding us that first and foremost Robert Ripley-explorer, radio, movie and television personality, entrepreneur, and museum impresario-was an astounding artist-cartoonist. Hardcover (Horizontal Format), 11-in. x 7 1/2-in., 328 pages, B&W. Cover price $39.99.

    1st printing.

    By Gary Gerani.

    When Jurassic Park was released almost 30 years ago, it was an immediate blockbuster and went on to become one of entertainment's largest multimedia franchises, with five more films, theme park attractions, and a robust consumer product program-including a set of trading cards released by Topps in 1993 to tie into the film.

    This comprehensive collection of the original trading card series, timed to publish alongside the release of Jurassic World: Dominion, includes the fronts and backs of all of these classic cards, plus the special chase cards and rare promotional material.

    Hardcover, 7-in.x 6-in., 384 pages, full color.
