Stories by Otto Binder. Art and cover by Al Carreno. A curiosity from the early days of comics, starring superspy Radar, the International Policeman. A long-running backup feature in Fawcett's Master Comics, Radar takes center stage for what is probably among the first publications to use the phrase "comics novel." This "comics novel" resembles other Fawcett comics of the period; "novel" mainly refers to the issue-length storyline. In the years following WWII, Radar travels the globe battling the minions of would-be dictator Anarcho, who hopes to take advantage of postwar instability. Radar travels to South America, Germany and even Tibet, truly earning his status as an "International Policeman." Chapter 1: The Great Jailbreak; Chapter 2: Pursuit To South America; Chapter 3: Lord Craven's Revenge; Chapter 4: Death In Tibet; Chapter 5: The Trail Ends. 52 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.

1st printing. By James J Donahue. In recent years, studios like Marvel and DC have seen enormous success transforming comics into major motion pictures. At the same time, bookstores such as Barnes & Noble in the US and Indigo in Canada have made more room for comic books and graphic novels on their shelves. Yet despite the sustained popular appeal and the heightened availability of these media, Indigenous artists continue to find their work given little attention by mainstream publishers, booksellers, production houses, and academics. Nevertheless, Indigenous artists are increasingly turning to graphic narratives, with publishers like Native Realities LLC and Highwater Press carving out ever more space for Indigenous creators. In Indigenous Comics and Graphic Novels: Studies in Genre, James J. Donahue investigates the disparities of representation in the fields of comics studies and comics publishing. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 8 1/2-in., 172 pages, Text (with B&W Illustrations). Cover price $25.00.

Volume 1 - 1st printing. Written by VA Lewis. Art and cover by KP Comics Studios. The Netherworld: it is a hellish landscape inhabited only by Demons, creatures born from the dark abyss. It is also the only world Salvos knows. Joining the ranks of newborn demons, Salvos is thrown into the violent, anarchy-ruled landscape of that world. To survive, she will have to learn, she will have to adapt, and she will have to evolve. She will gain experience to reach new Levels of power. Her curiosity aids her but her pride could be her fall. It is the nature of the Netherworld to avoid or conquer any threats faced— after all, the law of evolution is survival of the fittest, and Salvos is a survivor. And perhaps, eventually, she will leave this world behind for a better place. But… is that what Salvos even wants? This novel is an action-packed fantasy following the adventures of a Demon girl! It is set inside a game-like world with Classes, Levels, and even monster evolution, but it is not inside the world of a video game. For the characters in the novel, the world is as real as the real world is to me and you. Softcover, 5 1/2-in.x 8 1/2-in., 256 pages, Text (with B&W Chapter Illustrations). Teen+ Cover price $14.99.
