1st printing. Written by Jeanne Martinet. The search for true love is not what is used to be. In the old days, Girl Met Boy, Girl lost Boy, then Girl got Boy back. But the modern world of dating often goes something more like this: Girl meets Boy, Girl finds out Boy is Gay, Girl meets another Boy, Girl finds out Boy is married, Girl gets therapy. In Truer than True Romances, humorist Jeanne Martinet brings together her hilarious, piercing observations of the modern pursuit of love with a gem of American pop culture, the romance comic book of the 1940's to 1970's. Raiding the vaults of DC Comics like a starry-eyed romance-ologist, Martinet has created all-new tales of betrayal and heartbreak through all-new dialogue and captions, while still maintaining the integrity of the original classic artwork. Softcover, 8-in. x 10-in., 112 pages, full color. Cover price $19.95.

Story and Art by Ron Ledwell. Field Marshal Erwin Rommel led the Afrika Korps to within a hairs-breadth of victory in the North African campaigns of World War II. This despite a severe disadvantage in numbers and equipment against the British forces confronting him, a severely constricted supply pipeline across a Mediterranean Sea dominated by the British Navy and inadequate support from Adolf Hitler, whose primary preoccupation was the Eastern Front. This near-success against enormous odds marks Rommel as perhaps Germany's greatest World War II commander, as well as a chivalrous soldier who treated his enemies and prisoners fairly. 24 pages, B&W. Mature Readers. Cover price $3.95.
