painted cover by greg horn mike grell (w)/michael ryan (p)/sean parsons (i) ? THE SCOOP: A new era begins for the Golden Avenger as Mike Grell (Green Arrow: Longbow Hunters) and Michael Ryan (CABLE) climb on board as the new creative team! ? THE STORY: Years ago, Tony Stark was a builder of weapons ? but when he became aware of the cost in lives, he mended his ways. But now, a cache of those long-forgotten weapons has resurfaced, in a hot-spot nation torn by internal strife! How far must Stark go to prevent anyone else from being slaughtered by the fruits of his genius ? especially when the power of Iron Man is denied him?! It's a double-sized kick-off to a brand-new chapter in the life of the Armored Avenger! ? THE WRITER SPEAKS: "The approach that I'm taking is to focus on the man inside Iron Man," Grell told Newsarama. "The character, as he stands right now with the amount of super-tech and weaponry that he packs in his suit of armor, is as close to as invulnerable as you can get. He can do just about anything, and always has a gadget handy that helps him deal with any physical obstacle that would come along. But what about the emotional obstacles? What about the human part of him?" ? THE EDITOR SPEAKS: "If you look at everything Mike has done, his work has all the components of what makes up good Iron Man stories," explained Tom Brevoort. "He does great adult characters, has a good handle on technology, understands politics, and knows about the world of high finance ? all in all, he has a good handle on characters. Every character he writes has some real 'meat' to it." ? THE FORMAT: 48 pages, with ads. 7-59606-04457-5-05011 (MarvelPG) 2.99 Cover price $3.50.

1st printing. By George Herriman. In 1999, the Comics Journal named Herriman's Krazy Kat the greatest comic strip of the 20th century. It's never been too well known (in the course of its 30-year run, it often survived only because of William Randolph Hearst's support), but cartoonists more or less agree it's a masterpiece. The premise couldn't be simpler: Krazy Kat loves Ignatz Mouse, who rejects the Kat's affections by throwing a brick at him? her? Krazy is both and neither whereupon Offisa Pupp arrests Ignatz. This was the plot of nearly every episode, but the beauty was in the variations Herriman could work on it and in his delirious sense of style. The primal comedy played out in thousands of ways, drawn with an incomparable design sense against a gorgeously stylized backdrop of the American Southwest and delivered with Herriman's hilarious dialogue half invented, half quasi-Joycean wordplay ("Ooy-yooy-yooy wot a goldish oak finish like a swell mihoginny piyenna l'il dusky dahlink!!!"). This first in a new series of reprints (designed by Chris Ware and edited by Bill Blackbeard) picks up where the series published by Eclipse Books left off 10 years ago; it'll cover two years in each volume. This 1925-1926 collection shows how Herriman began to stretch out, opening up his layouts and experimenting with storytelling technique and the basic conventions of the comic strip itself. Softcover, 9-in. x 11 1/2-in., 118 pages, B&W. Cover price $9.95.

Her city, Meridian, is a city with an economy based on shipbuilding and made up of the finest craftsmen. She's on a journey home after surviving what should have been her death: falling from the sky, but the sigil has granted Sephie some wonderful powers and she is able to survive both the fall and the betrayal of the Minister of Akasia. Sephie is being held prisoner in the dye vats of that city, but manages to escape, facing monstrous dangers on her route back to Meridian.

When Sephie learns she can fly, a whole new range of possibilities for heroism are opened to her, and she rises to each occasion. Softcover, 192 pages, full color. Cover price $19.95.

In this collection of more than a dozen interviews one of the giants of American comic strips talks about his life and his craft. The years spanning 1937 to 1986, when the interviews were conducted, embrace almost all of Caniff's career as he was producing the legendary Terry and the Pirates and his post-World War II masterpiece Steve Canyon.

In long interviews with such comics luminaries as Jules Feiffer and Will Eisner, Caniff (1907-1988) discusses his signature chiaroscuro style, his passion for realism in every detail, and his relationships with such other cartooning greats as Al Capp (Li'l Abner), Noel Sickles (Scorchy Smith), and Alex Raymond (Flash Gordon).

Besides interviewa this collection includes rare examples of Caniff's graphic art.
