1st printing.

Written by Blutch and Edward Gauvin. Art and cover by Blutch.

The man known as Blutch is one of the giants of contemporary comics, and Peplum may be his masterpiece: a grand, strange dream of ancient Rome.

At the edge of the empire, a gang of bandits discovers the body of a beautiful woman in a cave; she is encased in ice but may still be alive. One of the bandits, bearing a stolen name and with the frozen maiden in tow, makes his way toward Rome - seeking power, or maybe just survival, as the world unravels.

Thrilling and hallucinatory, vast in scope yet unnervingly intimate, Peplum weaves together threads from Shakespeare and the Satyricon along with Blutch's own distinctive vision.

Softcover, 8-in. x 11-in., 160 pages, B&W.

1st printing.

Written by Landry Quinn Walker and Eric Jones. Art and cover by Eric Jones.

The year is 2421. Awkward and shy, Pepper buries herself in the universe of the classic fictional superhero Supernova to avoid dealing with the perils of the ninth grade. But then fate intervenes when Pepper encounters a strange cat named Mister McKittens and stumbles into a volatile science experiment run by a sinister substitute teacher named Doctor Killian. Pepper is flung into another dimension, bringing her face-to-face with an order of cosmic beings who declare her to be the steward of their great power, champion of harmony in the universe, and protector of worlds present and past.

Now, in the twenty-first century, Pepper finds that she herself is the real Supernova. But as Pepper soon learns, escapist fantasy and reality are two very different things!

Story and art by Patrick Keck.

This trippy sci-fi romance needs to be seen to be appreciated for its full psychedelic glory. Peepers needs to wake up, eat food, get drunk, and fly to space, because living out your life on top of someone else's brain may be all it's cracked up to be. Patrick Keck's graphic novel resides in a space vacated by the likes of Vaughn Bodé and Ralph Bakshi.

Hardcover, 8 1/2-in. x 11-in., 205 pages, B&W.

1st printing. By Basil Wolverton. Eleven "Powerhouse Pepper" strips, three "Supersonic Sammy" stories, and one "Hot-head Hotel" make up the meat of this marvelous tome - a worthwhile wad of Wolverton (early Mad, Marvel monster comics, Plop, Spacehawk, "Lena the Hyena" in Li'l Abner) wit we're sure you'll want to welcome (with a wail), whisk up, weep over, wince over, whinny and whoop over. See Supersonic Sammy save Stalin. Wonder at Wolverton's wanton winds of wisdom, alliteration antics and able artistry. Peer piously by as polite Powerhouse Pepper pounces into peril, pounding his piston-packing punches passionately 'pon noses, necks, napes, nostrils, navels, noggins and knees, all with a chuckle, a wink, and a grin. All 15 strips are rare, rendered well, never collected together in book form, classics one and all (without fail). Take it from us, these are bar none the funniest Wolverton workouts you'll come across in any millennium. Heave 'em home to have and hold - you'll be pleased you paid, partner! Softcover, 8 1/2-in. x 11-in., 104 pages, B&W. Cover price $11.95.
