1st printing. Written by Bill Watterson. Art by Bill Watterson and John Kascht. From Bill Watterson, bestselling creator of the beloved comic strip Calvin and Hobbes, and John Kascht, one of America's most renowned caricaturists, comes a mysterious and beautifully illustrated fable about what lies beyond human understanding. In this fable for grown-ups, a long-ago kingdom is afflicted with unexplainable calamities. Hoping to end the torment, the king dispatches his knights to discover the source of the mysterious events. Years later, a single battered knight returns. For the book's illustrations, Watterson and caricaturist John Kascht worked together for several years in unusually close collaboration. Both artists abandoned their past ways of working, inventing images together that neither could anticipate-a mysterious process in its own right. Hardcover, 8-in. x 8-in., 72 pages, full color. Cover price $19.99.

1st printing. By Camille Mathieu and Johan Chiaramonte. Caught between whats seen and whats hinted at, this descent into the off-kilter world of Twin Peaks tracks the signs, secrets, and wonderfully weird spaces that powered the shows unforgettable spark. Filled with more than 300 images—stills, behind-the-scenes shots, character studies, objects, landscapes, and beautiful spreads—this image-drenched volume traces the elements that shaped Twin Peaks visual language. Red curtains, zigzag floors, flickering lamps, forest shadows, diner counters, owl eyes, Dictaphones, rings, and logs appear not as props but as clues, hinting at shifting layers of meaning. Motif-focused sections move through iconic interiors—the Black Lodge, the Great Northern, the Palmer house, the sheriffs station, the Double R Diner—where reality thins and something stranger presses through. Characters emerge not through biography but gesture and atmosphere: Laura shimmering between innocence and doom, Cooper navigating intuition and ritual, Audrey on dangers edge, and Leland slipping in and out of darkness. Brief reflections explore ideas central to the series: doubling, dream logic, time loops, hauntings, symbols that refuse to settle, and the uneasy border between the ordinary and the impossible. Rather than decode or explain, the authors follow the shows own instincts—letting mood, pattern, and image reveal how the world of Twin Peaks holds together. This book invites devotees and newcomers inside a place where nothing is just what it seems, and every room, object, and glance hums with something just out of reach. Hardcover, 8-in.x 11-in., 200 pages, full color. Cover price $40.00.

Volume 1 - 1st printing. "May 1953 to January 1954!" Collects Mysteries (1953-1955) #1-5.

This one's a wacky entry and no denying, with Canadian publisher Superior Comics coming into the four-color horror ring all gloved up and swinging fit to punch the lights out of anybody who stands in their way. They kicked off with Journey Into Fear, Strange Mysteries (as opposed to pretty straightforward and perhaps even slightly boring mysteries), and the one-word extravaganza that was Mysteries, the latter calling itself variously Mysteries (its legal title) and, on the cover, Mysteries Weird and Strange.

The earlier tales were bizarre and quirky and it's pretty clear that inspiration was in short supply that day. Good stuff though, Clancy, with pens, pencils and plots coming from, among others, Jay Disbrow and the Igor Shop: clear a space on the shelf pronto.
