1st printing. Story and art by Ariel Slamet Ries. In the not-too-distant future, most of humanity resides on its last-ditch effort at utopia: Meridian, a remote alien planet where you're more likely to be born superhuman than left-handed. None of that is important to Oberon Afolayan. Since his mildly public breakdown, his whole life seems to be spiraling out of control-from dropping out of university to breaking up with his boyfriend, it seems like only a karmic inevitability when he wakes up one day with the ability to conjure his dreams in the real world. Oberon's newfound powers come with a facsimile of his high school crush, Kon, who mysteriously dropped off the face of the planet almost three years ago, and who is a little more infuriating (if not also infuriatingly hot) than Oberon remembers. Oberon might have more on his plate than he originally thought, but is giving up his dreams-even the one he might have accidentally fallen in love with-the only way to find happiness in reality? Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 288 pages, full color. Cover price $18.99.

1st printing. Are we surrounded by aliens? Every year hundreds of people from around the globe report "alien encounters". Most tell of alien spacemen - bizarre UFO inhabitants who seem more intent on sexually and medically abusing individual humans than being taken to our leaders - yet there are many other types of non-human encounters. Among them: the West Virginia Mothman, the Tibetan Yeti and Canadian Bigfoot, the Australian Bunyip and the Caribbean Goatsucker - weird, man-like creatures which are clearly non-human. Do lost breeds of subhumans roam Earth's unfrequented wildernesses? Were our first civilizations created by beings from another planet and did they leave us a sign in the gigantic "Face on Mars"? Do records of Victorian sightings hint at ethereal beings who can transform themselves into whatever shape their audience expects? This fascinating book looks at both terrestrial and extraterrestrial sightings and asks...is mankind really alone? Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 170 pages, Text (with B&W Photos). Cover price $5.95.

Before radio contact failed, the pilots reported that they were running out of fuel because they could not find their way home; their compasses had gone wild and, despite supposedly clear weather in the area, they could not see the setting sun. What happened to them? Likewise, what happened to the three lighthouse keepers who vanished from the Scottish isle of Eilean Mor in 1900? In 1872, the ship Marie Celeste was found sailing without her crew - why and where did they go? Why did Victor Grayson, one of the most charismatic British politicians of the twentieth century, just disappear, never to be seen again? This fascinating book looks at there and many other cases of strange vanishings. Softcover, 5 x 8-in, text only. Cover price $5.95.

But all is not quite what it seems, and he begins to suspect that much darker forces are at play...

As he probes further into the events and the hidden life of Mr. Hyde, Utterson slowly uncovers a terrifying and ghastly story.

Campfire Edition - 1st printing. Based on the story by Robert Louis Stevenson. Adapted by Cel Welsh. Art by Lalit Kumar Sharma. Bold visionary, Henry Jekyll, believes he can use his scientific knowledge to divide a person into two beings - one of pure good and one of pure evil. Working tirelessly in his secret laboratory, concocting a potion that would tear at the core of what makes a man human, he eventually succeeds - but only halfway. Instead of separating the good and evil halves, Jekyll isolates only the latter. What seems at first a relief to the doctor becomes a nightmare as he loses control of the transformation. His friends feel Jekyll will waste away and fear the worst. Can Jekyll undo what he has done? Or will it change things forever? Softcover, 72 pages, full color. Cover price $9.99.

In bright pinks, blues, greens, and purples, the inhabitants of Strange Planet are at once charming, strange, and recognizable. The game is human behaviors labeled in plain language and acted out by adorable aliens; on Strange Planet, we are invited to take a step back and celebrate our own previously unexamined practices of surprise parties, visits from the tooth fairy, and cleaning before having company. The labeling of common occurrences like sunburn as "Star Damage" and sweet dreams as "Imagine Pleasant Nonsense" has struck an immediate chord, with thousands of posts and tweets using these phrases in instant recognition.
