    American Way HC (2023 Simon and Schuster) A True Story of Nazi Escape, Superman, and Marilyn Monroe 1-1ST


    (see more images)

    1st printing.

    By Helene Stapinski and Bonnie Siegler.

    Family lore had it that Bonnie Siegler's grandfather crossed paths in Midtown Manhattan late one night in 1954 with Marilyn Monroe, her white dress flying up around her as she filmed a scene for The Seven Year Itch. Jules Schulback had his home movie camera with him, capturing what would become the only surviving footage of that legendary night.

    Bonnie wasn't sure she quite believed her grandfather's story... until, cleaning out his apartment, she found the film reel. The discovery would prompt her to investigate all of her grandfather's seemingly tall tales-and lead her in pursuit of a remarkable piece of forgotten history bridging old Hollywood, the birth of the comic book, and the Holocaust.

    The American Way is a vivacious story of two very different men both striving to make their way in New York, their lives intersecting with a glittering array of luminaries, from Billy Wilder and Joe DiMaggio to Superman creators Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel.

    Hardcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 384 pages, Text (with B&W photos and illustrations).

    Written by Nate Bitt. Art and cover by Joao Zod and Glass House Graphics.

    Two best friends in a town taken over by video games have to outsmart digital dinosaurs in the first book in the Arcade World graphic novel chapter book series.

    Life in Normal used to be, well, pretty normal. Kids went to school. Kids did their homework and chores after school. And then kids met up at the local arcade, called Arcade World. Arcade World was the weirdest, coolest place. It had a collection of video games that no one had ever heard of, like Dino Trouble or Hot Dog Time.

    And no one held more high scores than Travis Better and Journey West. But one day, the video games in Arcade World came alive.

    Now, there's a whole new normal in town-as Normal becomes a dangerous Arcade World.

    Join Travis and Journey as they race dinosaurs to school, survive bottomless pit falls, and battle aliens to level up and solve mysteries like what's going on, who really owns Arcade World, and whether this video game takeover is a glitch or part of a larger, evil plan.

    Written by Dan Abdo. Art and cover by Jason Patterson.

    Barb is a Berzerker, one of a group of warriors sworn to protect the land of Bailiwick from the scourge of monsters that plagues it. But the fearsome crew seem to have met their match in the nefarious Witch Head. Using power from his magical sword, he tricked the Zerks and took them captive. Only Barb was able to escape - and she took Witch Head's Shadow Blade with her.

    Now it's up to Barb to free her fellow warriors so they can stop Witch Head from taking over Bailiwick. On the way, she'll battle vampire goat fiends, snot goblins, and a giant with serious foot odor issues (but don't mention that to him-he's very sensitive about it).

    Luckily, she's got her best friend, Porkchop the yeti, to help her!

    Caped Crusade: Batman and the Rise of Nerd Culture HC (2016 Simon and Schuster) 1-1ST

    1st printing. By Glen Weldon. Since his creation, Batman has been many things: a two-fisted detective; a planet-hopping gadabout; a campy Pop-art sensation; a pointy-eared master spy; and a grim and gritty ninja of the urban night. How we perceive Batman's character, whether he's delivering dire threats in a raspy Christian Bale growl or trading blithely homoerotic double-entendres with partner Robin on the comics page, speaks to who we are and how we wish to be seen by the world. It's this endlessly mutable quality that has made him so enduring. And it's Batman's fundamental nerdiness - his gadgets, his obsession, his oath, even his lack of superpowers - that uniquely resonates with his fans who feel a fiercely protective love for the character. Hardcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 336 pages, PC. Cover price $26.00.
