Story and art by Jim Steranko.

In the mid-1960s, Jim Steranko burst into the Marvel Age of comics in a BIG way, and the innovative, cinematic techniques he introduced in his brief tenure at The House of Ideas stand to this day as a high-water mark in the history of graphic storytelling. More than any other series, Steranko is most associated with Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. This Artist's Edition collects the first 12 stories of Steranko's run, from Strange Tales #151 - #162, as well as all his covers from these issues. Additionally, there will be a select number of extras presented. And, as usual, nearly all the pages have been scanned from the original art, from Steranko's private archives.

1st printing. Edited by Martin Popoff and Malcolm Dome. Foreword by Lemmy Kilmister. Let's face it, without the larger-than-life character and imagination of the art that complements it, metal just wouldn't have had the same impact. From the colorful, outlandish, yet sophisticated use of visuals for album artwork and posters, to the immediately recognizable logos of such bands as Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Motörhead, Metallica, Slayer, and a host of others across many subgenres, there's a close-knit relationship between the riffs that thunder from the guitar and the images that have come to represent the songs, anthems, and sheer nature of the beast. Every classic album brings to mind a readily identifiable album cover. Each great band has an immediately identifiable logo. This book explores the ways in which the art has helped define each of the crucial subgenres that make up the multifaceted and colorful centipede that is metal. Hardcover, 8-in. x 11-in., 240 pages, full color. Cover price $45.00.

Sometimes she thinks her whole life would be easier if she wasn't a werewolf at all. When word gets out that a group of werewolf hunters has infiltrated her pack's territory and that they've developed a cure that can make werewolves human, Tessa thinks she's found the answer to her problems. But when she discovers there might be more to the hunters' plans than anyone knows, it's up to Tessa to put herself on the line to protect the lives of those she loves most. And the only way to save them is to embrace the wolf inside her that is howling to get out. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 256 pages, full color. Cover price $17.99.
