1st printing.
Written by Casanova Frankenstein. Art and cover by Glenn Pearce.
How to Make a Monster is Frankenstein's unflinching memoir of growing up as a Black INTJ 13-year-old in 1980.
Conveyed as a bleak first-person narrative with darkly humorous overtones, Casanova Frankenstein reveals how real-life experience shaped his hard-bitten, survivalist view of life. His was a world of fear and isolation punctuated by bullying thugs, the stifling atmosphere of the Lutheran school on the South Side of Chicago, racial segregation, unapproachable girls, and a home life consisting of an emotionally distant and unsupportive mother and a violent, alcoholic cop father who was not above giving his son a good thrashing now and again while preaching Christian family values. It is a searing portrait of an unbearably painful upbringing.
How to Make a Monster is illustrated by Australian outsider artist Glenn Pearce in a rare creative symbiosis in which Pearce captures Frankenstein's inner turmoil using a variety of artistic approaches ranging from naturalistic portraiture to outrageously inventive phantasmagoric imagery. A seamlessly contrapuntal balancing act between Frankenstein's raw, unadorned writing and Pearce's stunningly detailed drawing.

Howdy and Me SC (1990 Plume) #1-1STPublished Nov 1990 by Plume Books.$6.00
1st Printing. By Buffalo Bob Smith and Donna McCrohan. For thirteen years kids across America stayed glued to the TV when it was time for The Howdy Doody Show. That one program reached 98 percent of the country on two hundred stations in more than twenty-five hundred beloved episodes-more than M*A*S*H, I Love Lucy, The Honeymooners, Leave It to Beaver, and All in the Family combined! And the kids who watched it never forgot the Peanut Gallery, Mr. Bluster, Clarabell, Princess Summerfall Winterspring, and, of course, Buffalo Bob and Howdy Doody. But the show was live, not filmed for reruns and until now it has lived only in the memories of millions of Americans. In This affectionate memoir, Buffalo Bob Smith brings it all back with a laugh-out-loud reminiscence of his own life and his wonderful association with the freckle-faced puppet named Howdy Doody. A Pioneer in the TV industry, Buffalo Bob created the show and improvised formats and technology that shaped the future of television programming. Here he takes readers onto the set and shares the real love the very talented people on the show had for each other-and for Howdy and his friends. Howdy and Me is a fitting testament to the unforgettable chapter of television's "Golden Age". Softcover, 7" x 9", 142 pages, text with B&W photos. Cover price $12.95.

1st printing.
By Hulk Hogan with Mark Dagostino.
Hulk Hogan, born Terry Bollea, burst onto the professional wrestling scene in the late seventies and went on to become a world wrestling champion many times over.
From humble beginnings, this giant of a man escaped a pre-ordained life of dock and construction work in Port Tampa, Florida, to become one of the most recognizable celebrities on the planet. He did it through sheer will, grit, determination, and a drive to always go over the top and do more than what others thought possible. From the outside, his story was one of a charmed life. He was at the top of his career, had a wonderful and loving family, and a lifelong fan base who worshipped him. Of course he had his up and down, including hints of steroid abuse and his falling out with WWE and Vince McMahon, but it's been the last two years that have tested Hogan more than any other in his lifetime.
In 2007, while riding the massive success of his VH1 reality show, Hogan Knows Best, his son Nick was involved in a tragic car accident that left his best friend in critical condition. Then Linda, his wife, left him after 23 years of marriage, his beloved daughter Brooke blamedhim for the breakup and his son went to jail. The tabloid media had a field day. When unflattering jailhouse conversations between him and his son were released to the press the tabloids were in a frenzy. The sudden turmoil and tragedy surrounding Hogan took its toll. He fell into a deep depression, seeing no way out, until one fateful phone call.
In My Life Outside the Ring, Hogan will unabashedly recount these events, revealing how his new found clarity steadied him during the most difficult match of his life, and how he emerged from the battle feeling stronger than ever before.

Story and art by Mannie Murphy.
In this graphic memoir, what begins as an affectionate reminiscence of the author's 1990s teenage infatuation with the late actor River Phoenix morphs into a remarkable, sprawling account of the city of Portland and state of Oregon's dark history of white nationalism. Murphy is a Portland native who has a genuine affection for River Phoenix, and her heart-racing descriptions of scenes like the infamous campfire kiss My Own Private Idaho serves as a moral anchor to a deeply amoral history. Murphy details the relationship between white supremacist Tom Metzger, former KKK GrandWizard and founder of the White Aryan Resistance, and the "Rose City" street kids like Ken Death that infiltrated Van Sant's films - a relationship that culminates in an infamous episode of Geraldo.
Told in the style of an illustrated diary, with wet, blue ink washes, this story brilliantly weaves 1990s alternative culture with two centuries of the Pacific Northwest's shameful history as a hotbed for white nationalism: from the Whitman massacre in 1847; to the Ku Klux Klan's role in Portland's city planning in the early 1900s; to the shameful treatment of African Americans displaced in the 1948 Vanport flood; and through the 2014 armed standoff with Cliven Bundy's cattle ranch.
The other protagonist in this story is Murphy herself, a gender queer kid trying to process all of this. Mannie Murphy is an artist living in Portland, OR.

1st printing. Story and art by Keiji Nakazawa. Life in Hiroshima during the war was difficult for six-year-old Keiji and the Nakazawa family, but they made the best of it. On his way to school one bright August morning, Keiji was unaware his hometown would soon be turned into a world of horrors. That morning, he watched as a single airplane soared through the clear blue sky, carrying with it the most powerful weapon that had ever been created, the atomic bomb, code named "Little Boy." It was about to fall on Keiji's city, changing his life forever. This is the true story of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and its effects, seen through the eyes of cartoonist Keiji Nakazawa.

Based on the story by Lauren Tarshis. Adapted by Georgia Ball. Art and cover by Berat Pekmezci.
A gripping graphic novel adaptation of Lauren Tarshis's bestselling I Survived the Attack of the Grizzlies, 1967, with text adapted by Georgia Ball and art by Berat Pekmezci.
No grizzly has ever killed a human in Glacier National Park before... until tonight. Eleven-year-old Melody Vega and her family come to Glacier every year. Mel loves it here - the beautiful landscapes and wildlife make it easy to forget her real-world troubles. But this year is different. With Mom gone, every moment in the park is a reminder of the past.
Then Mel comes face-to-face with a mighty grizzly. She knows basic bear safety: Don't turn your back. Don't make any sudden movements. And most importantly: Don't run.
That last one is the hardest for Mel; she's been running from her problems all her life. If she wants to survive tonight, she'll have to find the courage to face her fear.
Based on the real-life grizzly attacks of 1967, this bold graphic novel tells the story of one of the most tragic seasons in the history of America's national parks ― a summer of terror that forever changed ideas about how grizzlies and humans can exist together in the wild.
Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 160 pages, full color.
