1st printing. By Abraham Riesman. Even if you've never watched a minute of professional wrestling, you are living in Vince McMahon's world. In his four decades as the defining figure of American pro wrestling, McMahon was the man behind Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, John Cena, Dave Bautista, Bret "The Hitman" Hart, and Hulk Hogan, to name just a few of the mega-stars who owe him their careers. For more than twenty-five years, he has also been a performer in his own show, acting as the diabolical "Mr. McMahon" - a figure who may have more in common with the real Vince than he would care to admit. Accessible to anyone, regardless of wrestling knowledge, RINGMASTER is an unauthorized, independent, investigative chronicle of Vince McMahon's origins and rise to supreme power. Hardcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 464 pages, Text. Cover price $29.99.

1st printing. Written by Peter Maresca. Cover by James Swinnerton. Mit Dose Kids, SOCIETY IS NIX! So said The Inspector about the Katzenjammer Kids. But he could have been speaking of all comic strips in their formative years in the early 1900s. From the very first color Sunday supplement, comics were a driving force in newspaper sales, offering a wild parody of the world and the culture found in the surrounding pages. Society didn't stand a chance! These are the origins of the American comic strip, born at a time when there were no set styles or formats, when creators had the freedom to experiment, when artistic anarchy helped spawn a new medium. The genesis of comics is laid out in a dozen essays by the greatest in their field—historians like Thierry Smolderen, Brian Walker, Alfredo Castelli, Bill Kartalopoulos, Paul C. Tumey and others. And in the second, revised edition of this seminal collection: over 200 comic strips! The earliest comics by acknowledged greats like R. F. Outcault, George McManus, Winsor McCay, and George Herriman, along with creations of more than fifty other superb cartoonists, known and unknown. The classic strips, most not printed in over 100 years, are presented in their original colors at the incredible oversized format Sunday Press is known for: all the better to see the comics that would inspire the next century of comics to come! Hardcover, 13-in. x 19-in., 168 pages, full color. Cover price $100.00.

1st printing. By David Hajdu. In the years between World War II and the emergence of television as a mass medium, American popular culture as we know it was first created - in the pulpy, boldly illustrated pages of comic books. No sooner had this new culture emerged than it was beaten down by church groups, community bluestockings, and a McCarthyish Congress - only to resurface with a crooked smile on its face as MAD magazine. The story of the rise and fall of those comic books has never been fully told - until The Ten-Cent Plague. David Hajdu's remarkable book vividly opens up the lost world of comic books, its creativity, irreverence, and suspicion of authority. Softcover, 5-in. x 8-in., 434 pages, Text Only. Cover price $16.00.

Written by Steven Heller. Cover by Sharon Knettell. Edited by Jim Heimann.

Up until the 20th century, children's play was not a subject that demanded much attention. American ingenuity, an ever-growing consumer culture supported by the media empires of newspapers, radio, and television, led American toys to become ubiquitous in the consumer market. In the world of toy production, the multimillion dollar industry took the advertising of their product seriously, and toy manufacturers inundated customers with their latest product via trade journals.

Filled with a Santa's sack full of surprises Toys: 100 Hundred Years of All-American Toy Ads takes us down the aisles of America's toy store delivering the favorites and forgotten memories of toys that were hugged and hoarded, saved and disposed of, and now finally brought back in their pristine glory.

Hardcover, 8-in. x 10-in., 528 pages, full color.
