1st printing. Written by A C Coren. Art by Timothy Thin. You dont have to be a pro wrestling fan to appreciate the story of a man who evolved from a trailer park troublemaker into a revolutionary billionaire (though he never quite shook off his tendency for trouble-making!). The life of Vincent Kennedy McMahon is not all about spandex and muscular heroes conquering even more muscular bad guys in the squared circle; The Ruthless Aggression era, the attitude era, his rise to prominence and acquisition of unprecedented wealth as a professional wrestling promoter is a story that encompasses enough ups and downs to fill a dozen lifetimes, let alone one. From overcoming abuse in his youth and careering off the rails several times before finding his calling, Vince McMahon has mastered the art of getting back up after being knocked down. Love him or hate him, his life story is one hell of a ride that works equally well as either a warning shot against hubris or an inspiration for anyone who dreams of overcoming a hard start in life to find success. Enjoy the tale of a man who, much like many of his wrestling character creations never knows when he is beaten. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 92 pages, Text (with Illustrations).

1st printing. Written by Gary Corby. It is the Olympics of 460 BC. Nicos best friend, Timodemus, is a competitor in the pankration, the deadly martial art of ancient Greece. Timo is hot favorite to win. His only serious rival is Arakos from Sparta. When Arakos is found beaten to death, it is obvious Timodemus must be the killer. Who else could have killed the second-best fighter in all Hellas but the very best? The Judges of the Games sentence Timodemus to be executed in four days time, as soon as the Sacred Games have finished. Complicating everything is the fact that Athens and Sparta are already at each others throats, in the opening stages of a power struggle for control of Hellas. If an Athenian is found to have cheated at the Games by murdering a Spartan, it will be everything the hawks in Sparta need to declare open war the moment the Sacred Truce is over. And thats a war Athens cannot hope to win. Nico and his partner in sleuthing, the annoyingly clever priestess Diotima, have four days to save their friend and avert a war that would tear their world apart.

Winter is roughly two months out. The time limit has been set.But the Empire's military leaders are fiercely divided on what to do.
