1st printing. By William Schoell. The Silver Age of Comics looks at super-hero comic books that were published in the mid-fifties to late sixties, a period when super-heroes, most of whom had been replaced by science fiction, crime, and romance comics, once again gained popularity and grew to virtually take over the whole comic book industry. The book not only looks at popular and lesser-known series including those from smaller publishers such as Charlton and Gold Key, commenting on the most interesting stories, it also examines the artists who were prominent during this period, and looks at why their work could be so effective on different strips. The book also looks at how different comics reflected - or didn't reflect - the changing mores and attitudes of the turbulent times when civil rights, women's rights, and other social movements got more and more attention. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 374 pages, B&W. Cover price $26.95.

By Scott Morse.

And sometimes, there are just stories for the sake of stories. Like these. Smack Dab will put you right in the middle of all the little ideas that have crawled out of Scott Morse's head and into various anthologies over the past four years, only to be captured for all eternity and caged up in this squarebound prison of paper! From genetically engineered pickles to insect-riding foo fighters, these surreal short stories will tug at the heartstrings and boggle the mind. A must for the library of any short fiction collector!
