Volume 18 - 1st printing. "Hurricane Aces 1939–40!" Written by Tony Holmes. Art by Keith Fretwell. The Hawker Hurricane was the RAF's first monoplane fighter, and it dragged the air force into a position where it could defend Britain in its 'hour of need'. Prior to the Battle of Britain, a number of squadrons equipped with the fighter had seen action firstly in the 'Phoney War', and then during the disastrous campaign in France. Pilots like 'Cobber' Kain had achieved impressive scores in the face of overwhelming LUftwaffe forces, and although the RAF lost no less than 386 Hurricanes during the Blitzkrieg, it gave many pilots valuable experience. Hawker fighters outnumbered Spitfires during the Battle of Britain by three to one, and downed far mor aircraft. Overseas, a handful of pilots put up stiff resistance against Germany's Italian ally in Libya and Egypt, and also over Malta. Softcover, 96 pages, PC/PB&W. Cover price $22.95.

1st printing. By Eric Greene. Foreword by Richard Slotkin. In 1968, PLANET OF THE APES became a megahit movie both in the United States and abroad, inspiring four film sequels, two TV series, and several comic series. The APes films confronted some of the most controversial issues of the time, including Vietnam and the Black Power movement, all the while remaining crowd-pleasing box office hits. Eric Greene uses rare photographs, transcripts, and extensive interviews with the writers, directors, actors, and producers to read the Apes saga as a profoundly American myth. Greene also looks at the attempts of filmmakers like Oliver Stone and James Cameron to remake the myth for the nineties. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 250 pages, Text (with B&W Photos).
