1st printing. Edited by Steffen Maarup. In all the excitement over manga from Japan and bandes dessinées from France, it's easy to forget that most other countries have a thriving comics culture all their own. This eye-popping anthology, assembled by Danish publisher/editor/translator Steffen Maarup, introduces adventurous readers to 18 exciting talents, most of whom are taking their first bow on the English-speaking stage. One centerpiece of the book is Nikoline Werdelin's stunning "Because I Love You So Much," a Doonesbury-style slice-of-life Danish daily strip about a suburban Danish couple who discover their daughter is being molested - is it happening at her daycare center - horrifyingly, closer to home? Other major revelations include Julie Nord's elegantly drawn "From Wonderland With Love" (which gives the collection its title), a modernistic riff on Alice in Wonderland, and Ib Kjeldsmark's "Sloth," a riotously punk-inflected day-glo duo-toned road trip. The book also spotlights the snarky and surreal single-panel work and gags by HuskMitNavn, Christoffer Zieler, and Johan F. Krarup; the visually explosive silent comics of Mårdøn Smet and Peter Kielland; cover artist T. Thorhauge's spectacular philosophical piece "M"; and many other stories in a wide variety of styles from the sinister black and white Lynchian surrealism of Simon Bukhaven's wooden robot story "All I Have in My Hand" to the watercolored animal-fable extravaganza "Tomb of the Rabbit King" by Allan Haverholm, from Søren Mosdal and Jacob Ørsted's meticulously delineated and colored nightmare yarn "Dog God" to Zven Baslev's slashing, black and white, Panter-esque "Cadarul Zombie." And more! Softcover, 8 1/2-in. x 11-in., PC/PB&W. MAture Readers Cover price $29.99.

He's internalized every bit of crazy that Hollywood has thrown at him over his decades living in Tinseltown, but he's become very efficient hitman in the process.

By Bill Schelly.

A fascinating story of growing up as a gay fan of comic books in the 1960s, building a fifty-year career as an award-winning writer, and interacting with acclaimed comic book legends. Award-winning writer Bill Schelly relates how comics and fandom saved his life in this engrossing story that begins in the burgeoning comic fandom movement of the 1960s and follows the twists and turns of a career that spanned fifty years. Schelly recounts his struggle to come out at a time when homosexuality was considered a mental illness, how the egalitarian nature of fandom offered a safe haven for those who were different, and how his need for creative expression eventually overcame all obstacles. He describes living through the AIDS epidemic, finding the love of his life, and his unorthodox route to becoming a father. He also details his personal encounters with major talents of 1960s comics, such as Steve Ditko (co-creator of Spider-Man), Jim Shooter (writer for DC and later editor-in-chief of Marvel Comics), and Julius Schwartz (legendary architect of the Silver Age of comics).

Written by Victor Fuste. Art and cover by Jared Cullum.

Wonder City tells the story of two combative teenage sisters coping with the sudden loss of their father in New York City, 1984.

As the mysteries surrounding their father's untimely demise start to pile up and veer toward the supernatural, the Riley sisters must confront the terrible truth about their tension fraught relationship before the past literally rises from the dead.

Taking cues from The Goonies, Indiana Jones, and Stranger Things, Wonder City captures the joyous, adventurous tones of Amblin era 1980s films in a love letter to the can-do attitude of young teenagers with guts beyond their years and an independent streak longer than their common sense.

Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 160 pages, full color.

Promotional mini comic. Originally included with Wonder Woman DVD/Comic Bundle. 7-1/4"x 4-3/4". Full color. 12 pages.

1st printing. By Andrew Hoberek. William Marston was an unusual man - a psychologist, a soft-porn pulp novelist, more than a bit of a carny, and the (self-declared) inventor of the lie detector. He was also the creator of Wonder Woman, the comic that he used to express two of his greatest passions: feminism and women in bondage. Comics expert Noah Berlatsky takes us on a wild ride through the Wonder Woman comics of the 1940s, vividly illustrating how Marston's many quirks and contradictions, along with the odd disproportionate composition created by illustrator Harry Peter, produced a comic that was radically ahead of its time in terms of its bold presentation of female power and sexuality. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 232 pages, Text (with B&W Illustrations). Cover price $26.95.
