Simon comic books issue 1

1st printing. Story and art by Whitney Gardner. The piano is free, but fame has a price. On the sleepy streets of Cascade Cove, lonely Margot knows that when she stumbles across a discarded synthesizer with a "not haunted" sign, she's discovered the key to realizing her dreams. Determined to become a real songwriter and earn her absent father's admiration, Margot dives headfirst into trying to gain followers and fans online. But her musical journey takes an unexpected turn when she realizes the (not haunted) piano is very much... haunted. Enter Vision, teen pop sensation of 1979 whose untimely demise left her spirit intertwined with the keys of her synthesizer. Though Margot and Vision couldn't be more different, the girls form an unlikely bond fueled by their shared passion for music. But as Margot's obsession with fame and recognition grows, she may come dangerously close to losing what she loves about music... and herself. Softcover, 6-in.x 8 1/2-in., 256 pages, full color. Cover price $13.99.

1st printing. In his own words, this is the life of Joe Simon, one of the most important figures in comics history and half of the famous creative team Simon and Kirby. Joe Simon co-created Captain America, star of this summer's anticipated movie blockbuster, and was the first Editor-in-Chief of Marvel Comics (then known as Timely, where he hired Stan Lee for his first job in comics). He recounts the near-death of comics, the Congressional witch-hunts of the 1950s, and the scramble for creators to survive. In the process he reveals what it was like to bring comics out of their infancy, as they became an American art form. Hardcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 256 pages, Text (with B&W photos and illustartions and 8 pages in full color). Cover price $24.95.

The story culminated in a team-up with Batman, with a fateful ending for Manhunter.

2nd Edition - Volume 1 - 1st printing. Collects Thor (1962-1996 1st Series Journey Into Mystery) #337-345.

Story and art by Walter Simonson.

Few people have ever left their mark on one character quite the way Walter Simonson has. His work on the Mighty Thor swept the Norse God of Thunder to heights never before seen and rarely achieved in his wake. Spanning epic tales of heroism and treachery, love and war, Simonson's work is often considered the definitive Thor. From the majesty and mystery of fabled Asgard to the gritty streets of New York City, Thor was never the same. That is the mark of a true visionary. This first volume begins the collection of Simonson's epic run - completely remastered from the original artwork and dynamically recolored by Steve Oliff.

Puppy PI Rider Woofson thought he was the only detective at Pawston Elementary, but while bringing down a pencil theft ring, he finds out that there are other super sleuths at school. Fortunately (or not!) there's plenty of pet-ty crime happening at Pawston, so Rider joins forces with the other puppy PIs to form the PI Pack - the best (and only!) detective group at school.

Their first case is high stakes because it hits every student in the belly - a lunchtime bandit is stealing the best food from the cafeteria! Will the Pup Detectives bring the noodle nabber to justice, or will the hungry students of Pawston be left to endure Soup Surprise for lunch every day?

Signed by Walter Simonson - 1st printing. Collects Star Slammers GN (1983 Marvel), Star Slammers (1994) #1-4, and Star Slammers Special (1996). Story and art by Walter Simonson. Before Walter Simonson's work with Marvel and DC, there was Star Slammers, a series first devised by Simonson during his college days. The Slammers would later be resurrected as a Marvel graphic novel, and then a miniseries. Simonson describes it thus: "Once upon a time, there was a race of men who could out-shoot, out-fight, and out-kill anybody. They were paid fabulous sums to act as mercenaries. The practice became so lucrative, they decided to go into business. They became the most successful businessmen in history, and they called themselves...The Star Slammers!" The collected Star Slammers also features, published here for the very first time, Simonson's earliest version of the Slammers created for his college thesis at the Rhode Island School of Design. These stories predate his first professional comics work but strongly show the artist's keen sense of composition and design. Hardcover, 8-in. x 12-in., 300 pages, full color. Cover price $49.99.
