    Welcome to Heaven Dr. Franklin (2006) 1

    Benjamin Franklin dies, and that's just the start of his amazing adventure in Welcome to Heaven, Dr. Franklin. Where he expects to find God, he instead finds an ancient Roman emperor, and the crazy conflict that ensues could only spring from the mind of Bill Messner-Loebs. The informed and demented view of history that Messner-Loebs used when writing Epicurus the Sage and Journey first came to light with Welcome to Heaven, Dr. Franklin, which was serialized in Cerebus issues 34 through 38. Messner-Loebs drew the first installment in 1981, making 2006 the 25th anniversary of this work. "This is a story that those of us who were reading Cerebus back then remember fondly, and it was where a lot of us first discovered Bill's work," explains About Comics publisher Nat Gertler, "but while the Cerebus stories from these issues have been reprinted repeatedly, Dr. Franklin never has. It's long since time that this story stopped being hidden in the dusty longboxes of old Cerebus collectors and be brought back out for readers." Some readers know Messner-Loebs primarily as a writer, particularly for his long run on The Flash. Others know him for work like the Dead Detective stories in Wasteland, where he was chosen to draw from someone else's script. For Dr. Franklin, this double-threat talent both wrote and drew the material himself. This new edition sports a brand new cover. "When I first considered publishing other people's work under the About Comics label, Welcome to Heaven, Dr. Franklin was on a short list of books I wanted to produce. When I went back and counted the pages, I realized that it wasn't enough pages for a book - Bill had created this full, rich work in about the length of a single issue. These days, when so many writers are taking six issues to tell a simple story, it's refreshing to be reminded that a graphic novella can be done efficiently without seeming rushed." Welcome to Heaven, Dr. Franklin (ISBN 0-9753958-7-4) is a black-and-white one-shot with color covers, priced at $2.95. The story contains non-erotic nudity, a non-dogmatic view of heaven, and a character named "Sunshine Aquarius". It is not recommended for people who are offended by such things. Cover price $2.95.

    Whatever Happened to Frankie King GN (2024 Graphic Mundi) 1-1ST


    (see more images)

    1st printing. Written by Jay Neugenboren. Art and cover by Eli Neugenboren. Frankie King was a precocious student and a promising basketball player at Brooklyn's James Madison High School in the early 1950s. Sportswriters were comparing Frankie to the greatest college and professional players of all time, and he was recruited as a starting guard at the University of North Carolina. But Frankie dropped out before playing a single game. This graphic novel follows King's enigmatic life from its auspicious start in the limelight to his very reclusive existence in New York City, where he authored more than forty novels, including a popular series of cozy cat mysteries written under a woman's pseudonym. This is the story of a unique and sometimes troubled life, as well as a meditation on dreams realized, lost, and abandoned. Softcover, 6-in. x 8 1/2-in., 128 pages, full color. Cover price $21.95.
