1st printing. A unique, comprehensive collection of gripping stories set in twentieth century battlegrounds selected from classic magazines such as Blazing Combat and Commando. Some 30 thrilling, graphic, war stories are brought together here in a mix of classic strips from the likes of Sam Glanzman, Alex Toth, and Joe Kubert, graphic shorts by Ted Rall and Joe Sacco, and great new pieces by as yet little-known hands. To date this is the only multi-sourced collection on the market - previous anthologies and book reprint collections all rely on single sources, mainly the big-name comic publishers. Kendall has selected from classic mags like the bi-monthly Blazing Combat (1970s) and the ongoing Commando, plus individual collections like Sam Glanzman's Marvel and many smaller, top-quality publications. And the wartime settings range all the way from both world wars through Korea and the Vietnam War, to today's Middle East. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 512 pages, PC/PB&W. Cover price $17.99.

by Sharon Scott & Wellington Alves The hugely-successful fantasy series, More Than Mortal, returns to Avatar with original creator and writer Sharon Scott! In ancient Ireland, the land was riddled with both internal clan rivalries, and external invasion; it was a time of legends, great warriors, and fierce druidic magic. Although the Tuath gods no longer walked the land, their power and influence still pervaded. The battle between Man and dark Faerie had been waging for decades. The battle came to a head during a bloody siege at a temple in Kildare where Midir and his Faerie horde were devastating the Celtic army. It seemed all was lost... and that an entire people and their way of life would be destroyed. Desperate, a group of druids performed a powerful spell; a plea to the Land to protect itself. The druids gave birth to a guardian that day; a being that emulated the very essence of Ireland and its distinction: beauty, strength, independence. She was an elemental, part of the land, and bound to defend it - she became Brigid The Protector. This book features these stunning covers: Regular, Wraparound, 'Battle' and Premium by series artist Wellington Alves, and Ryp by maestro Juan Jose Ryp! Cover price $3.99.
