Cover by C. C. Beck. Stories and art by Jack Kirby, France Herron, Pierce Rice, James Wilcox, Gus Ricca, Ken Battefield, and Harold Sharp. A Fawcett anthology with an emphasis on superhero adventure. Brian Butler is the District Attorney of Gotham City (not Batman's Gotham, but still the first known use of this city name in comics). He fights crime with a more hands-on approach as the masked superhero Mr. Scarlet, in a story with early art by comics legend Jack Kirby. Seeking the truth about his superhuman strength and smarts, Atom Blake, "boy wizard," learns that atomic-ray treatments from his scientist father gave him superpowers. Before he can learn more, he must stop a bank robbery and prevent bad guys from launching Janie Smart into space. Mystery-magazine editor Jim Dolan solves real crimes in his spare time. Mr. Scarlet; Atom Blake; Puzzlettes; Jim Dolan; Diamond Jack; Who'da Thought It?; Rick O'Shay; Shipwreck Roberts; Our Strange Planet; White Rajah; Lucky Lawton. 64 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.

Wow Comics #1 (originally published in 1940) is one in a series of reprints published in 1975 by comic and toy collector Don Maris. While similar in format to the Flashback reprints published by DynaPubs (Alan Light), the Maris editions reprint different Gold Age issues and represent better reproduction quality. Note: Hit Comics #1, Plastic Man #2, and Silver Streak #6 are the only issues reprinted by both publishers. The Maris and Flashback issues have become very collectible in their own right. They also represent a very inexpensive way for comic readers to read and enjoy comics that typically sell for thousands of dollars. Each Maris edition reproduces the original comic (some ad pages have been replaced with contemporary ads) except that the interior pages are in black-and-white rather than the original color. Cover price $3.00.

1st printing. Story and art by Ned Wenlock. Peter is a misfit, an awkward 12-year-old whos mercilessly bullied in school and quietly ignored at home. Peters lonely life in small-town New Zealand is upended by the arrival of Charlie, a badass girl who might just be the friend Peter has been needing… But when Peters bull-headed commitment to the truth brings him into conflict with Gus, a troubled and violent classmate, things quickly spiral out of control and the two boys find themselves in a terrifying situation neither of them could have ever imagined. Drawn in a charming and disarmingly cartoony style and full of pitch-perfect dialogue, TSUNAMI is a devastating and hilarious coming-of-age story, a nuanced examination of adolescent alienation and the unpredictable consequences of our actions. Softcover, 6 1/2-in. x 8 1/2-in., 270 pages, B&W. NOTR: "TSUNAMI is smart, funny, honest, merciless, and real.—Dylan Horrocks, author of HicksvilleWenlock gets it. There is a very particular feeling in this book that displays the heart of person having to grow up... Its a feeling that most of us have experienced but it fades and gets forgotten. Get that feeling back, even for a brief moment.—Charles Forsman, author of TEOTFWWinner of NZ Book Award for Children and Young Adults – Best First Book Cover price $26.95.
