WRITTEN BY ANDREW NABB; ART AND WRAPAROUND COVER BY SETH FISHER In stores June 16. A small town that isn't quite what it seems comes to life in a profoundly different 2-issue Prestige Format miniseries. Happydale is a small mid-American town like many others...at least on the surface. But slightly below that placid surface, there's something...different. The residents are happy, they all get along, but there's something weird about pretty much all of them, from the circus-level fat ladies to the midgets and giants, from the three-eyed man to the three-headed boy. It doesn't seem like anything can break the peacefulness of Happydale's small-town life, at least until a depraved serial killer and his two psychopathic companions decide to take a break from their desert-wide killing spree and set out to take over the sleepy little town. But these newcomers have bitten off more than they can chew... For more information, see the feature article. MATURE READERS FC, 64 PG. (1 OF 2) PRESTIGE FORMAT$6.95" Cover price $6.95.

Written by Frank Miller. Art and cover by Dave Gibbons. On March 11, 1995, something hopeful happened in the slums of Chicago. On that day, Martha Washington was born. Frank Miller and Dave Gibbons began the chronicles of Martha Washington in the 1990 miniseries, Give Me Liberty. The first page of that fateful first issue presents the birth of Martha, dated March 11, 1995. Now, almost five years after the legendary team created that story, Martha's real birthdate is fast approaching, and Frank and Dave invite you to join them for the celebration. Happy Birthday, Martha Washington contains three complete short stories featuring Martha Washington. In "State of the Art," Martha is combat testing a new weapons system when she comes up against an enemy soldier outfitted with the same system; this story originally appeared in the hard-to-find San Diego Comic-Con Comics #2. From the DHP Fifth Anniversary Special comes a story in which Martha learns a lesson about either political agendas or political incompetence; the judges are still out. And in an all-new story, a young Martha goes on assignment to meet America's great war hero, a super soldier who's been fighting the good fight since America's glory days of World War II; and at the rate he's going, the lucky stiff will be around for World War III. The first two stories were originally presented in black and white, but are presented here in full color. All three stories have been colored by Angus McKie, whose work on MWGTW made the art community stand up and take notice. And to top it all off, Dave Gibbons is producing a beautiful new cover. We should all get such favored treatment on our birthdays! FC. Cover price $2.95.

Sarah Andersen's hugely popular, world-famous Sarah's Scribbles comics are for those of us who boast bookstore-ready bodies and Netflix-ready hair, who are always down for all-night reading-in-bed parties and extremely exclusive after-hour one-person music festivals.

In addition to the most recent Sarah's Scribbles fan favorites and dozens of all-new comics, this volume contains illustrated personal essays on Sarah's real-life experiences with anxiety, career, relationships and other adulthood challenges that will remind readers of Allie Brosh's Hyperbole and a Half and Jenny Lawson's Let's Pretend This Never Happened. The same uniquely frank, real, yet humorous and uplifting tone that makes Sarah's Scribbles so relatable blooms beautifully in this new longer form.

Terribly embarrassed by his own puny muscles, Johnny Boo sets out on a quest to find some happy apples that can give him strong happy muscles. But it won't be easy - especially if the Ice Cream Monster mistakes him for a delicious ice cream cone!
