1st printing. By Nevin Martell. For ten years, Calvin and Hobbes was one the world's most beloved comic strips. And then, on the last day of 1995, the strip ended. Bill Watterson, its mercurial and reclusive creator, not only finished the strip but withdrew entirely from public life. Looking for Calvin and Hobbes: The Unconventional Story of Bill Watterson and His Revolutionary Comic Strip traces the life and career of the extraordinary, influential, and intensely private man behind Calvin and Hobbes. Input from artists and writers such Dave Barry, Harvey Pekar, Jonathan Lethem, and Brad Bird, as well as some of Watterson's closest friends and professional colleagues brings readers close to one of America's most ingenious and intriguing figures. Hardcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 272 pages, B&W. Cover price $24.95.

1st printing. By Andrew Farago. Here's the inside story on the Looney Tunes from an irrefutable source - the characters themselves! Bugs, Daffy, Porky, Wile E., and the rest (guided by Cartoon Art Museum curator Andrew Farago) offer the first and only autobiographies of Warner Bros.'s legendary animated characters. This lavish book includes more than 300 pieces of concept art, paintings, and memorabilia, plus 12 rare original souvenirs from the characters' personal archives. Hardcover, 9-in. x 12-in., 144 pages, full color. Cover price $45.00.

1st printing. By J. M. Clements. For more than two hundred years, during the Vikings' heyday, all Europe shivered in fear at their terrifying approach. This lavishly illustrated and interactive book explains why! The first adventure in the exciting, new Lost Worlds series, this tome illuminates every aspect of Viking history and culture, from their legends and lore to their journeys of exploration and their discovery of America five hundred years before Columbus. Most exciting of all, the volume contains dozens of special features to heighten the experience, with sound chips, gatefolds featuring a Viking map, a cut-through illustration of a longship, a depiction of the Bayeux tapestry showing the Normans attacking England, five embossed Runestone concertina booklets, and accounts of Viking legends re-imagined by some of Europe's premier fantasy artists. Hardcover, 11 1/2-in. x 11-in., 134 pages, full color. Cover price $19.95.

1st Edition - possibly printed with a dustjacket, but the title text is inlaid on the spine and it likely never had a dustjacket. "Love and Death: A Study in Censorship" (1949) by Gershon Legman. Published five years prior to Seduction of the Innocent, Love and Death harshly criticized the salacious comics of the era, particularly comics that glorified crime and violence, which the author deemed harmful to children. It includes a 28-page chapter, "Not for Children," that begins, "The American generation born since 1930 cannot read" because of the prevalence of "the radio, the talking movie, the picture-magazine and comic book....For them, the printed word is on the way out." And all this before television entered the scene! How strange to hear such familiar arguments being made so many years ago. NOTE: According to the Lost Soti website, the 1949 hardcover first edition was printed in very limited quantities to be given or sold to admirers (estimated around 50 copies). Hardcover, 95 pages, 6.25-in x 9.25-in.
