Includes Poster - 1st printing. Story and art by Lincoln Peirce. Nate Wright's a winner, in his own mind, anyway. So when things go wrong, he's at a loss to explain why. How does his soccer team manage to lose to a school with a sixty-game winless streak? What's he doing at the movies on a Friday night with Gine? And why, oh why is one of his classmates (hint: she's Nate's dream girl) suddenly moving 3,000 miles away? It's all enough to make a sixth-grade superstar feel... well, not so super. But you can't keep a good man down, and Nate's still got pals like Teddy, Francis, and Chad to cheer him up. Sure, their methods aren't always warm and fuzzy, but Nate doesn't mind. After all, what's a little noogie between friends? Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 176 pages, full color. Cover price $9.99.

1st printing. Written by Frank Richards. Art by Reg Bunn and Charles Henry Chapman. Introduction by Norman Wright. Billy Bunter had a long career at Fleetway. He began in hugely popular text stories and then went on to further fame as a purely slapstick character in the pages of Knockout and Valiant, where his depiction was almost totally unrelated to his original conception. The strips that appeared in Comet take us firmly back to the roots that established the popularity of the characters: exciting dramatic adventures featuring not only Billy Bunter but also the cast of other Greyfriars characters. This volume comprises the very best of the Comet Billy Bunter dramatic strips, including all those drawn by Reg Bunn ("The Famous Five") and C.H. Chapman ("Greyfriars School" and "Bunter of Greyfriars") that most admirers would consider the pick of the crop, or as Billy Bunter might say, the icing on the cake... Hardcover, 9-in. x 11-in., 224 pages, B&W. Cover price $54.99.

Collecting every strip from December 8, 1980, through September 26, 1982, in chronological order, with a new cover inset by Breathed. Berkeley Breathed's Bloom County burst onto the American comic scene in December 1980 and it soon became one of the most popular comic strips of all time. The endearing and quirky denizens of the strip included Milo Bloom, Steve Dallas, Michael Binkley, Cutter John, Bill the Cat, and Opus the penguin. Bloom County was a strip that dealt with many issues relevant to the period.

This is the first time Bloom County has been collected in a handsome hardcover library, five volumes in all. Each newspaper strip is reproduced in chronological order from first to last.

1st printing. By Liza Donnell and Michael Maslin. What happens when two cartoonists for The New Yorker fall in love and marry? Lots of witty wordplay, skewering drawings, and a healthy dose of illustrative competition. For twenty years, veteran cartoonists Liza Donnelly and Michael Maslin have been exploring in their work the ins and outs of marriage. From whimsical and wacky to risqué and barbed, their humor allows us to laugh at our follies and foibles and the insanity that is inherent in the day-to-day workings of every marriage. From meeting, wooing, and dating to marrying, divorcing, and remarrying, from having sex to having kids, the course of true love never runs smooth–but its excellent fodder for talented humorists. Here, Donnelly and Maslin offer a his-and-hers view of marriage, a cartoon conversation about all that love entails. From the wedding day (And do you, Louise, take Jack to be your husband until really, really pissed-off do you part?) to cohabitation (And this is where I go to escape from where I go to escape) to parenting (Dad says its all right with him if I watch TV as long as its not all right with you), husband and wife give us hilarious insights into the way relationships work. Cartoon Marriage shares clever takes on male/female communication (You could at least acknowledge the fact that Im ignoring you) and renovation (Ive made a few improvements, but the way you see him now is pretty much the way I found Harold eleven years ago). And of course, what view of marriage would be complete without a trip to the bedroom: Owen, look, the good-sex fairy. Featuring more than two hundred hilarious cartoons, Cartoon Marriage is a deliciously witty true-to-life look at matrimony, children, happiness, connubial squabbling, and everything in between.
