1st printing. Written by Clifford Makins. Art and cover by Frank Bellamy. Each issue of the Eagle was chocablock with adventures and exciting new pastimes for boys - from Dan Dare to Extra Special Agent Harris Tweed.

Here we have the complete set of Eagle comic strips which tell the story of Winston Churchill's life - his birth at Blenheim, his education at Harrow and Oxford, his time in the army as well as his appointment to government and eventually to his stint as War Leader. Includes an extended essay by Richard M. Langworth, a pre-eminent Churchill historian. Original comic strip format, lifted directly out of the Eagle comics from the 1950s 'Heroes' series.

Portuguese Edition. Written by Hector German Oesterheld. Art and cover by Alberto Breccia. The great Alberto Breccia, in collaboration with the Argentine writer Hector German Oesterheld (The Eternaut,) present Mort Cinder, a horror story with political overtones that follows the wanderings through time of a man who rises from the grave each time he is killed, bearing witness to the darkest sides of humanity. American comics creators such as Frank Miller (300, Sin City) and Mike Mignola (Hellboy) owe Breccia a great debt; these horror-adventure tales are as thrilling, dread-inducing, and accessible as when they were created a half a century ago.

1st printing. In the post-industrial wasteland of Cleveland in the 1990s, artist Clay Parker created a massive body of fliers and comix unseen for decades. His work was infused with sex, drugs, booze, and a churning intensity; his black and white grotesques writhed and groped on the page. He created flier artwork for all the luminaries of the 90s gunk-punk underground with an emphasis on elaborate lettering and eye-gouging imagery. He drew prolifically and obsessively for a decade, then fell out of the public eye.UNTIL NOW.UP FOR THREE DAYS: THE ART OF CLAY PARKER collects hundreds of show fliers, comics, and drawings by an unknown master of black and white illustration. Part anthropological study, part cautionary tale, UP FOR THREE DAYS is the first-ever collection of this overlooked rock n roll smut maestro. Featuring an introduction by Cleveland comics stalwart Jake Kelly and extended commentary by artist Clay Parker, UP FOR THREE DAYS is a jaw-dropping, laugh- filled, gross-out marathon through Parkers jagged black and white world. ADULTS ONLY. A Pave the Ocean Press / Stone Church Press Production. Softcover, 8 1/2-in. x 11-in., 192 pages, full color. Mature Readers Cover price $35.00.
