1st printing. By matt "Matman" Herring. One of the most misunderstood and most important bands in the history of music is Black Sabbath. To those on the outside their music is loud, annoying and Satan worshipping dribble. To those who 'get it', Black Sabbath provided a soundtrack, not only for the disenfranchised of the early 1970's and the dreamers of the 1980's, but for pure music lovers... those who wanted more from their music. BLACK SABBATH - THE VINYL TESTAMENT is a deep history into Black Sabbath, from their first album until THE END! Every album is looked at, the stories leading into it are told and each song is reviewed. Written by music journalist/podcaster/historian Matt (Matman) Herring, THE VINYL TESTAMENT is an intimate and complete look into a half century of bone crushing riffs, thought provoking lyrics and the story f a band that had to fight for every bit of respect... and are still fighting for.Like his other music books, UFO - YOUR FAVORITE BANDS FAVORITE BAND and ASIA - TIME AND TIME AGAIN, Herring has collected his thoughts and words about another band that means so much to him. "When I write about a band, I am completely honest. If I don't like something I will say it. But I will always preface by reminding the reader this is my opinion and it doesn't make it bad." As a lover of history, Herring writes his book as a history lesson for his favorite bands, wanting to tell a story, teach something new and hopefully rekindle a love for his subjects. "One of the big things I got out of putting this book together was how Black Sabbath never had the support they should have, from management and their record labels. Instead of protecting them, the band was kept on the road, in the studio and high enough not to ask the questions thy should have been asking." The book also dives into the pre and post careers of Black Sabbath members including the story about Jimi Bell, currently the guitarist for Autograph and House Of Lords. In 1987, Bell auditioned for Ozzy Osbourne and made the top two and would later join the Geezer Butler Band until that project fell apart. BLACK SABBBTH - THE VINYL TESTAMENT is a full color 230+ page book that features an incredible cover by Andrew Edge, paying homage to The Beatles, a band Black Sabbath and Herring love! Inside are awesome fan pictures, taken at concerts, meet and greets and also features rarities from fan collections, including posters, bootlegs and autographed albums and CDs. Softcover, 8-in. x 10-in., 254 pages, full color. Cover price $34.99.

Story and art by Laura Lee Gulledge.

Sometimes, the world is too much for Mona Starr. She's sweet, geeky, and creative, but it's hard for her to make friends and connect with other people. She's like a lot of sensitive teenagers-but in the hands of graphic novelist Laura Lee Gulledge, Mona's struggle with depression takes on a vivid, concrete form. Mona calls it her Matter.

The Matter gets everywhere, telling Mona she's not good enough, and that everyone around her wishes she would go away. But through therapy, art, writing, and the persistence of a few good friends, Mona starts to understand her Matter, and how she - and readers - can turn their fears into strengths.

Story and art by Jonathan Case.

This graphic novel adventure tells the story of 10-year-old Elvie and her crucial mission to save humanity from extinction after a sun shift has changed life on earth as we know it.

It's been fifty years since a sun shift wiped out nearly all mammal life across the earth.

Towns and cities are abandoned relics, autonomous machines maintain roadways, and the world is slowly being reclaimed by nature. Isolated pockets of survivors keep to themselves in underground sites, hiding from the lethal sunlight by day and coming above ground at night.

10-year-old Elvie and her caretaker, Flora, a biologist, are the only two humans who can survive during daylight because Flora made an incredible discovery - a way to make an antidote to sun sickness using the scales from monarch butterfly wings. Unfortunately, it can only be made in small quantities and has a short shelf life.

Free to travel during the day, Elvie and Flora follow monarchs as they migrate across the former Western United States, constantly making new medicine for themselves while trying to find a way to make a vaccine they can share with everyone. Will they discover a way to go from a treatment to a cure and preserve the remains of humanity, or will their efforts be thwarted by disaster and the very people they are trying to save?

Cover by Scott. An underground movement composed of the dispossessed elder races of the Earth including dark elves, dwarves and goblins among others is slowly turning our world into theirs. This movement is led by a clandestine guild of evil witches known as The Scarlet Circle. Humanity unwittingly invests its energy into its own downfall through its support of products, media, politicians and ministries that The Scarlet Circle controls. The Scarlet Circle is using that energy to renew and ultimately reclaim the Earth, which humanity is destroying with power it doesn't even believe it possesses. Forged in the flames of the Salem witch hunts, Jon Redmont is resurrected three hundred years later in the present day at the dawn of The Scarlet Circle's new old world order. He is endowed with the combined strength, abilities and knowledge of his coven of light, a spell making him resistant to magic used against him, and an irreverence toward the dark powers that be which lurk in the shadows. Opposing the darkness without being darkened by it, Jon Redmont now hunts the hunters as...Witch Hunter! Softcover, 146 pages, full color. Cover price $24.99.
