    1st printing.

    By Robert Ludlum.

    He was dragged from the sea, his body riddled with bullets. There are a few clues: a frame of microfilm surgically implanted beneath the skin of his hip; evidence that plastic surgery has altered his face; strange things he says in his delirium, which could be code words. And a number on the film negative that leads to a bank account in Zurich, four million dollars and a name for the amnesiac: Jason Bourne.

    Now he is running for his life. A man with an unknown past and an uncertain future, the target of assassins and at the heart of a deadly puzzle. Hes fighting for survival and no one can help him – except the one woman who once wanted to escape him …

    Boy Who Loved Batman HC (2011 Chronicle Books) 1-1ST

    1st printing.

    By Michael E. Uslan.

    When he was 8, Michael Uslan fell in love with Batman. He watched unhappily as the dark, serious superhero he knew and loved was turned into a campy goofball in the '60s TV show starring Adam West, and in 1979 he purchased the film rights to Batman. After ten years of desperately pitching a film that no one wanted, he sold and then produced Tim Burton's critically acclaimed and phenomenally popular Batman.

    Having produced every Batman film to date, Uslan recounts his story here, in a memoir that will draw in all the boys and girls (of all ages) throughout the world who love Batman.

    1st printing. Written by Marc Tyler Nobleman. Art by Ross MacDonald. Celebrating Superman's 75th Anniversary! Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, two high school misfits in Depression-era Cleveland, were more like Clark Kent - meek, mild, and myopic - than his secret identity, Superman. In 1934, the summer they graduated from high school, they created a superhero who was everything they were not. It was four more years before they convinced a publisher to take a chance on their Man of Steel in a new format - the comic book. The author includes a provocative afterword about the long struggle Jerry and Joe had with DC Comics when the boys realized they had made a mistake in selling all rights to Superman for a mere $130. Softcover, 8-in. x 11-in., 40 pages, full color. Cover price $7.99.

    6th Edition - 1st printing. Have you ever wanted to know where a specific DC Universe character 1st appeared, but thought that they were way too obscure to ever find out? In the Brent Clark Rogers Guide to the DC Universe, Brent has answered that very question for thousands of characters. Not just certain "ages," such as Gold, Silver, or Modern...but the whole shebang from 1935 to 2005. Not only every character, but also 718 teams and groups, each with every member that has ever been on the team. Including Gotham PD, for example, which has 114 entries. There are also entries for actors and actresses (81), attorneys (86), mercenaries (340), and the U.S. Army which has 322 members represented. There are also seperate sections on the over 1,000 planets in the DCU, as well as the 904 named extraterrestrial races that have appeared throughout the seven decades of DC comics. Think you'd like to know who all the Kents are, or Waynes? There is even a section on DCU families. This book has had favorable reviews from Tony Isabella, Capn' Comics Andrew Smith and Beau Smith on their respective websites. Buddy says: This amazing compilation isn't for the amateur or casual DC reader, but serious DC fans, as well as DC writers and artists, will find Brent's scholarship indespensible.

    By Dean Owen. Introduction by Richard A. Ekstedt.

    Everyone in the village of Badstein knows how to eliminate the vampire preying on its young daughters: find the coffin he sleeps in during the day and drive a wooden stake through his heart. But how can you find your quarry if you don't know who he is and your suspects are many? There's the Latour with the dark-complexion, who is given to wandering at night and sleeping during the day. There's the handsome Baron Meinster, who is supposedly traveling in the Orient but rumored to be hiding in his ancient chateau. Then, there's the stranger, Professor Van Helsing. The quarry could be anyone. Meanwhile, the victims multiply — all young females marked with the telltale sign of the vampire bites.

    This is the first volume of The NightMare Series from noted film historian and author, Philip J. Riley. The purpose of the series is to preserve the 1950s and 1960s horror film movie tie-in novels that were printed on old crumbling pulp paper and to bring them back in this new format for a new century. These are the original novels by various authors, not the scripts as in the editor's Filmonster Series and the MagicImage Filmbook series.

    1st printing.

    By Karen S. Wiesner.

    Craft a Story That Towers Above the Rest

    You know it when you read it: In page after page and scene after scene, a truly engrossing novel has qualities that set it apart. Authentic characters, a well-rounded plot, and immersive settings work in harmony to create a three-dimensional experience--one you can practically step inside and explore.

    But while you can recognize this work when you read it, writing it can be much more challenging. Bring Your Fiction to Life teaches you how to build a solid narrative structure and layer in lush, textured scenes to create a story that rings true.

    You'll learn how to:

    o Master the three-dimensional aspects of characters, plots, and settings using detailed sketches that define the past, present, and future aspects of each element.
    o Develop complex opening, resolution, and bridge scenes that expertly lead readers through your fictional world.
    o Construct and analyze an outline for your manuscript, using tools and techniques to analyze scenes that lack dimensionality.
    o Brainstorm, research, and draft efficiently and effectively, and juggle multiple projects with ease.
    o Packed with story-development charts, worksheets, and checklists, Bring Your Fiction to Life shows you how to craft a vivid story world that readers will instantly recognize as remarkable.

    The Inheritance Cycle: Book 3 - 1st printing. By Christopher Paolini. Oaths sworn . . . loyalties tested . . . forces collide. It's been only months since Eragon first uttered "brisingr," the ancient language term for fire. Since then, he's not only learned to create magic with words-he's been challenged to his very core. Following the colossal battle against the Empire's warriors on the Burning Plains, Eragon and his dragon, Saphira, have narrowly escaped with their lives. Still, there is more adventure at hand for the Rider and his dragon, as Eragon finds himself bound by a tangle of promises he may not be able to keep. First is Eragon's oath to his cousin, Roran: to help rescue Roran's beloved from King Galbatorix's clutches. But Eragon owes his loyalty to others, too. The Varden are in desperate need of his talents and strength-as are the elves and dwarves. When unrest claims the rebels and danger strikes from every corner, Eragon must make choices-choices that will take him across the Empire and beyond, choices that may lead to unimagined sacrifice. Eragon is the greatest hope to rid the land of tyranny. Can this once simple farm boy unite the rebel forces and defeat the king? Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 880 pages, Text Only. Cover price $14.99.

    British Comic Book Invasion SC (2019 McFarland) 1-1ST

    1st printing.

    By Jochen Ecke.

    In the 1980s, as comics readers grew older, fans started calling for more sophisticated stories. They were also no longer just following the adventures of popular characters; writers and artists with distinctive styles were in demand. DC Comics and Marvel went looking for such mavericks and found them in the United Kingdom. Creators like Alan Moore (Watchmen, Saga of the Swamp Thing), Grant Morrison (The Invisibles, Flex Mentallo) and Garth Ennis (Preacher) migrated from the anarchical British comics industry to the U.S. mainstream and shook up the status quo yet came to rely on the genius of the American system.

    Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 300 pages, PC.

    1st printing. By Greg Carpenter. Moore. Gaiman. Morrison. They came from Northampton, West Sussex, and Glasgow, and even though they spoke with different dialects, they gave American comics a new voice, one loud and clear enough to speak to the postmodern world. Like a triple-helix strand of some advanced form of DNA, their careers have remained irrevocably intertwined. Taken individually, their professional histories provide an incomplete picture of the British Invasion, but together they redefined the concept of what it means to be a comic book writer. Collectively, their story becomes the story of mainstream comics in the modern era. It's the story you're about to read. Softcover, 6-in.x 9-in., 492 pages, Text Only. Cover price $19.99.

    1st printing. By Chris Murray. It is often thought that Britain did not have its own superheroes, yet there were a great many in Britain. Sometimes they emulated the style of American comics, but they also frequently became sites of resistance to perceived American political and cultural hegemony, drawing upon satire and parody as a means of critique. From the emergence of British superheroes in the 1940s, the advent of "fake" American comics, and the reformatting of reprinted material to the British Invasion of the 1980s, and the pivotal roles in American superhero comics and film production held by British artists today, this book will challenge views about British superheroes and the comics' creators who fashioned them. Hardcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 240 pages, Text. Cover price $65.00.

    1st printing.

    By Chris Murray.

    Chris Murray reveals the largely unknown and rather surprising history of the British superhero. It is often thought that Britain did not have its own superheroes, yet Murray demonstrates that there were a great many in Britain and that they were often used as a way to comment on the relationship between Britain and America. Sometimes they emulated the style of American comics, but they also frequently became sites of resistance to perceived American political and cultural hegemony, drawing upon satire and parody as a means of critique.

    Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 318 pages, Text (with B&W photos and illustrations).
