1st printing. Written by Paul Guinan and Anina Bennett. Art by Paul Guinan. In this meticulously researched and fantastically pictorialized volume, Frank Reade and his peerless progeny are brought to life in all their globetrotting escapades with amazing electric airships, submarines, and robots, as well as historical figures like Houdini and Geronimo. Frank Reade did exist, but only in the pages of 19th-century dime novels. While the authors have completely re-imagined and enriched those tales into a family biography, they have also restored the incredible original engravings - most of which haven't been seen in print in more than a century - and now present these lost pieces of Americana alongside their own creatively realized imagery. Part science fiction and part alternate history, Frank Reade is equally as imaginative as the authors' previous epic volume, Boilerplate, and presents an even more rollicking narrative. Hardcover, 8-in. x 11-in., 176 pages, PC. Cover price $24.99.

1st printing. Based on the story by Mary Shelley. Art and cover by Gris Grimly. A twisted, fresh, and utterly original graphic adaptation of the classic work of gothic horror, brought to life by none other than gothic horror's modern master: Gris Grimly. You know the story, but you've never seen it like this! Gris Grimly has long considered Mary Shelley's classic tale of terror to be one of his greatest inspirations. Using an abridged version of the original text, Gris adorns each page with illustrations, creating a world inside a book that is part graphic novel, part prose novel, and all vintage Gris Grimly. The result is a version of the tale unlike any that has ever been seen before, on the page or in the theater - a frightfully fresh version of the tale that is at once classic and contemporary, and one that could only be experienced in this form. Hardcover, 7-in. x 10-in., 208 pages, full color. Cover price $24.99.

By John Stoker.

The most fascinating story in horror history began in 1818 when Dr. Frankenstein, with the help of Mary Shelley, created his Monster. Since then the Monster has been born again and again on the stage, screen, in magazines, comic books, and in the nightmares of terrified audiences around the world. This immensely informative and entertaining book traces the Frankenstein myth through its most frightening periods, and shows it reaching its widest influence with the eerie yet poignant portrayal of the Monster by Boris Karloff.

Over 100 photographs, some never before published, illustrate the roles the Monster has played.

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.

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.
