Volume 1 - 1st printing. "October 1946-October 1949!" Collects Stories from Thrilling Comics (1940-1951 Better/Nedor/Standard) #56-75. Cover by Alex Schomburg. Featuring Princess Pantha Stories by Art Saaf, Alex Schomburg, Ralph Mayo, and Gene Fawcette. Princess Pantha was a circus-performing wild animal handler who went to Africa in search of the legendary giant gorilla M'Gana for her act! She disappeared shortly after setting out-so Gilt-edge Gates, the owner of The National Circus hired Dane Hunter, a famous explorer to find her. After discovering her safari had been wiped out by an unknown hostile native tribe and she'd saved herself by using her ability to make an extra-loud gorilla call, which the natives mistook for the approach of M'Gana and fled. Princess Pantha had survived in the jungle for two months now, utilizing her animal skills, knowledge of jiu-jitsu and a few primitive weapons. Together Pantha and Dane remained in the jungle and continued their quest to capture the legendary giant gorilla M'Gana! Comic book stories from the 1940s and 1950s depicted some ethnic and racial prejudices that were once commonplace in American culture. While not representing the publisher's view of today's society, these stories are printed as they were originally created, because to do otherwise would be the same as claiming these prejudices never existed. Softcover, 184 pages, full color. Cover price $32.99.

1st printing. Story and art by Sydney Padua. A unique take on the unrealized invention of the computer in the 1830s by the eccentric polymath Charles Babbage and his accomplice, the daughter of Lord Byron, Ada, Countess of Lovelace. When Ada translated Babbage's plans for the "Difference Engine," her footnotes contained the first appearance of the general computing theory, 100 years before an actual computer was built. Sydney Padua gives us an alternate reality in which Lovelace and Babbage build the Difference Engine, and then use it to do battle with the American banking system, the publishing industry, their own fears that their project will lose funding, and a villainous street musician who will force the two friends to reevaluate their priorities-"for the sake of both London and science." Hardcover, 320 pages, B&W. Cover price $28.95.
