1st printing. Story and art by Janee Trasler. Friendship is sweet—and awfully funny—in five giggle-worthy short comics for emerging readers starring an adorable squirrel and bunny. Bitty and Bub find cookies! Take one, the sign reads. But Bitty takes two! Bubs feelings are hurt… until Bitty reveals that the second one is meant for Bub. All good! Bitty and Bub turn friendships ups and downs into playful comedy in this sweet early reader comic by an award-winning artist. Split into short comics with spare text and charming art, each adventure (or misadventure) they go on has a funny happy ending. The duo confuse a rock for a turtle, climb up a tree with no way to get down, and argue over whether something in the sky is a plane or bird—only to get a definitive answer by way of a PLOP of bird poop. Emerging readers will love the silly punchlines and feel confident reading this simple, decodable text on their own. I Like to Read Comics are perfect for kids who are challenged by or unengaged in reading, kids who love art, and the growing number of young comics fans. Filled with eye-catching art, humor, and terrific stories, these comics provide unique reading experiences for growing minds. Like their award-winning I Like to Read counterparts, these books are created by celebrated artists and support reading comprehension to transform children into lifelong readers. Hardcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 40 pages, full color. All Ages Cover price $14.99.

Written by Chris Charlton, Artwork by David Hollenbach. Set in the late forties, a favored time for the crime/noir genre, Black of Heart follows a pair of detectives and the killer they are attempting to track down in Brooklyn, New York. Recently promoted to homicide detective, Drake Harper has seen some shit, and there are few he can turn to. A city full of criminals. A partner that drinks too much. A wife that cheats. Written by Chris Charlton, the owner of Assailant Comics, Black of Heart tells the dark and gripping if somewhat predictable story of a homicide detective in the last forties. A much used premise. A much used era. A much used genre. But Black of Heart is by no means bad. Since the crime/drama genre was popularized (especially in the last five to ten years), it seems like every murder mystery plot has been exhausted. 28 pages, B&W with partial color. Cover price $4.99.

Includes Art Print - 1st printing. Cover by Denys Cowan, Bill Sienkiewicz and Elizabeth Breitweiser. By Dennis Culver. From his first appearance in Fantastic Four #52 (1966) to his current New York Times-bestselling solo series, the King of Wakanda has been a force to be reckoned with on the page and now, on the silver screen. A veteran Avenger and a member of the Illuminati, T'Challa's evolution from being a Jack Kirby and Stan Lee creation, to inspiring his own character-led film for Marvel Studios, to serving as a literal voice of the people and the state of race relations in twenty-first-century America has been legendary. As the first black superhero in mainstream American comics, debuting years before other industry heavy hitters like the Falcon, Luke Cage, and John Stewart (Green Lantern), Black Panther is a seminal note in pop culture history. This deluxe hardcover book not only covers the history and creation of the character but also features exclusive concept art, layout and sketch art, and interviews with key artists and writers from Black Panther's robust archives. Hardcover, 11-in. x 14-in., 184 pages, full color. Includes a 10-in. x 13-in. full color Art Print by Denys Cowan, Bill Sienkiewicz, and Elizabeth Breirweiser. Cover price $45.00.

Story and Art by Tadao Tsuge.

Serialized between 1996 and 2000, Boat Life stars novelist Tsuda Kenta, a lightly veiled stand-in for the artist, Tsuge Tadao, himself, as he pursues a life of reprieve and reverie on a small, makeshift house boat on a river outside of Tokyo.

Based loosely on the artist's own daily life, this charming story follows the hapless protagonist on a series of magical absurdist quests, featuring a panoply of personable characters, including a drunkard fisherman, a pervy monk, a talking corpse, a senile hermit, and a half-supportive, half-doubtful wife and adult son!
