Japanese/Manga Format - Volume 11 - 1st printing. Story and art by Kosuke Fujishima. If three goddesses are good, surely four must be better? Not for Keiichi, whose strange power to attract divine trouble has just dialed "P" for Peorth-Belldandy's rival in the helping-humans-out-by-phone biz. But Peorth wonders why Belldandy's still hanging around Keiichi if she's really fulfilled his wishes, and is determined to provide him better "service"-no matter how fast he tries to run! Plus six pages of color, twelve Mini-Goddess strips, a message from creator Kosuke Fujishima, and your fan art and letters! Oh My Goddess! is the longest-running manga on the U.S. market (since 1994!) and inspired the new novel from Dark Horse, Oh My Goddess!-First End, and two recent anime TV series from Media Blasters and ADV Films, as well as the import Belldandy figure from Kotobukiya! Softcover, 5 1/8-in. x 7 3/16-in., 200 pages, B&W. NOTE: These are Japanese manga-style GNs and are meant to be read right-to-left.

Volume 2 - 1st printing. "Sake!" Written by Tetsu Kariya. Art by Akira Hanasaki. In this volume, the focus shifts from food to drink--specifically, to sake. For centuries different types of sake have played the same roles in Japan as wine and beer have in the West, from inexpensive everyday drink to refined single-batch rarities. Above all, sake has been enjoyed as an accompaniment to a meal, and after a revelatory moment at a local pub, Yamaoka decides that drink pairings must be an integral part of the Ultimate Menu. So which foods go best with which drinks? Sit down, pour yourself a glass, and read on! Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 8 1/2-in., 272 pages, B&W. Cover price $12.99.

Volume 205 - 1st printing. "Warsaw 1944!" Written by Robert Forczyk. Art by Peter Dennis. Defeated and occupied in 1939, Poland had suffered under the Nazi heel for nearly five years. Undaunted, however, the Poles formed an underground army, the Armia Krajowa (Home Army), and waited for a moment of German weakness. That moment seemed to have arrived in July 1944 as the Soviet armies began to advance into eastern Poland. The AK launched its revolt in Warsaw on 1 August 1944. Though its 5,000 fighters achieved some initial successes, the Germans were able to retain control over both the Vistula River bridges and the airbase, dooming the revolt to isolation and defeat. The SS was put in charge of suppressing the rebellion, beginning a wave of atrocities shocking even by Eastern Front standards. Softcover, 96 pages, PC/PB&W Cover price $19.95.

Volume 77 - 1st printing. "US Navy A-1 Skyraider Units of the Vietnam War!" Written by Rick Burgess and Zip Rausa. Art by Jim Laurier. Nicknamed the 'flying dump truck', the A-1 was a key component in naval air wings from the end of World War II into the 1960s, allowing the aircraft to play its part in the escalating conflict in Vietnam. Both A-1 attack and EA-1F airborne early warning aircraft saw action in Southeast Asia from 1960 through 1969, when the last examples were finally retired from carrier decks. The A-1s in particular bombed targets in both North and South Vietnam, despite the aircraft being highly vulnerable to enemy flak and fighters. Co-written by a two-tour Vietnam War combat veteran in the A-1, this is the first book that focuses exclusively on the aircraft's service in Vietnam. Softcover, 98 pages, PC/PB&W. Cover price $22.95.

Volume 78 - 1st printing. "F4U Corsair Units of the Korean War!" Written by Warren Thompson. Art by Mark Styling. This book tells the story of the 26 US Navy Squadrons, most of which were carrier based, and the six Marine Corps F-4 squadrons that flew combat missions against the North Koreans. Drawing from a vast repository of personal interviews with F-4 pilots, the author paints a harrowing picture of the deadly combat of this often forgotten air war. Included in this volume is the story of Lt Guy Bordelon, the US Navy's sole ace of the Korean War, who flew an F4U-5N night-fighter against the night raiders sent up by the Korean Air Force. Supporting the text is a vast number of previously unpublished private photographs that bring the stories of these pilots to life. Finally the book contains extensive appendices that detail every unit deployment by carrier, air group, Corsair model and tail code, as well as detailed lists noting every Corsair lost in the war. Softcover, 98 pages, PC/PB&W. Cover price $22.95.
