1st printing. The Autographed Frankenstein Card Limited Edition - Limited to 175 copies. FPG certifies that each copy of this edition contains a guaranteed authentic, one-of-a-kind, pack pulled, autographed-by-Bernie, Frankenstein card from the original Bernie Wrightson: Master of the Macabre trading card series from 1993. Its been almost 30 years since Bernie Wrightson let his imagination run wild on his two trading card series. For this once-in-a-lifetime creative endeavor, Bernie was given free rein to explore whatever ideas he wanted. Over a two-year period, he created 150 fantastic NEW paintings. Vivid images of swamp creatures, vampires, werewolves, and beasties of all types congregate throughout these works. Its a spellbinding collection of all the things for which Bernie is best known. These paintings have never been assembled in book form. They have never been seen at close to the actual size at which they were produced. All of the paintings have been lovingly photographed on museum-quality transparencies that were made when Bernie first completed the artwork in 1993 and 1994, so they will appear as fresh as they were the day that he sent them into the FPG offices. This is a comprehensive hardcover collection and is a real trip through Bernies hair-raising body of work for FPG. Included is the original, insightful text that he wrote for each painting, as well as original documentation of the making of the two trading card series. Hardcover w/ slipcase, 9" x 11-1/4", 192 pages, full color. Cover price $295.00.

Volume 1 - 1st printing. "The First Adventure!"

Story and art by Holly Jayne.

Bea loves helping friends and wants to be a superhero, but none of the costumes she tries on fit her personality. While Bea's world is anything but ordinary, the things she accomplishes with her creativity and preparedness are all things a regular kid-with a big heart, a healthy dose of confidence, and an inflatable turtle-could do.

This picture book, told in comic book panels was inspired by the creator's love of all things 80s including Hello Kitty, My Little Pony, Rainbow Brite, retro comic books, and Lisa Frank. The result is a kawaii picture book brimming with cuteness, accessible quirk, and a feel-good message of kindness.
