    1st Edition - 1st printing.

    Written by Tyler and Wendy Chin-Tanner. Art and cover by Andy MacDonald.

    A war has been waged against the American people. It's a covert war, one that those in power hope will go unnoticed, but day by day, jobs, homes, pensions, healthcare coverage, quality of life, and civil liberties are taken away, while the gap between the haves and the have-nots grows wider and wider. With no way out, four activists become fugitives from the law and go on the offensive against corruption and injustice.

    Sharing their story with the nation using social media, they inspire their followers to rise up and reclaim their country.

While our four protagonists go on the run across the country, they experiment with radical solutions to our biggest national injustices - healthcare, the environment, civil rights violations, refugees, education, the economy - inspiring a movement through social media that the media vilifies.

    American Way HC (2023 Simon and Schuster) A True Story of Nazi Escape, Superman, and Marilyn Monroe 1-1ST


    (see more images)

    1st printing.

    By Helene Stapinski and Bonnie Siegler.

    Family lore had it that Bonnie Siegler's grandfather crossed paths in Midtown Manhattan late one night in 1954 with Marilyn Monroe, her white dress flying up around her as she filmed a scene for The Seven Year Itch. Jules Schulback had his home movie camera with him, capturing what would become the only surviving footage of that legendary night.

    Bonnie wasn't sure she quite believed her grandfather's story... until, cleaning out his apartment, she found the film reel. The discovery would prompt her to investigate all of her grandfather's seemingly tall tales-and lead her in pursuit of a remarkable piece of forgotten history bridging old Hollywood, the birth of the comic book, and the Holocaust.

    The American Way is a vivacious story of two very different men both striving to make their way in New York, their lives intersecting with a glittering array of luminaries, from Billy Wilder and Joe DiMaggio to Superman creators Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel.

    Hardcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 384 pages, Text (with B&W photos and illustrations).

    Story and art by Luke Healy.

    The Pacific Crest Trail runs 2660 miles, from California's border with Mexico to Washington's border with Canada. To walk it is to undertake a grueling test of body and spirit.

Healy's life-changing journey weaves in and out of reflections on his experiences in America and his development as an artist, navigating both the trail itself and the unique culture of the people who attempt to complete it.

    Text by Alexei Ratmansky. Art and cover by By Mark Ryden. Introduction by David McKenzie. Essay by Wayne Heisler, Jr.

    Blending themes of pop culture with techniques reminiscent of the old masters, Mark Ryden has created a singular style that blurs the traditional boundaries between high and low art. Ryden has trumped his initial surrealist strategies by choosing subject matter loaded with cultural connotation. Ryden's vocabulary ranges from cryptic to cute, treading a fine line between nostalgic cliché and disturbing archetype. A subtle disquiet inhabits his paintings; the work is achingly beautiful as it hints at darker psychic stuff beneath the surface of cultural kitsch.

    By Whitney Matheson.

    From the glory days of linoleum and wood paneling to innovations in dishwashers, ovens, and washing machines, ATOMIC HOME: A GUIDED TOUR OF THE AMERICAN DREAM remembers the fads, fashions, and inventions of the postwar American dream home. With the war over, soldiers returned home to an unprecedented time of prosperity; the family home, with its white picket fence, became the status quo. Suburbs boomed and keeping up with the Joneses became a way of life for wives and weekend home-improvement warriors. Brimming with vintage illustrated advertisements depicting the "latest" in furniture, bathroom designs, and much more, ATOMIC HOME offers cultural commentary and design inspirations for an era that defined the modern family dwelling.

    WHITNEY MATHESON is a writer and columnist for USATODAY.com, where her pop-culture column, Pop Candy, appears each week. Her work has also appeared in Slate and USA Today, and on XM Radio. She lives with her husband in Washington, D.C.

    Bending Steel: Modernity and the American Superhero HC (2015 PYR) 1-1ST

    1st printing. By Aldo J. Regalado. Bending Steel examines the historical origins and cultural significance of Superman and his fellow American crusaders. The cultural conversation articulated through the nation's early heroic fiction eventually led to a new heroic type - the brightly clad, super-powered, pro-social action heroes that first appeared in American comic books starting in the late 1930s. Tracing superhero fiction all the way back to the nineteenth century, Regalado explores the roles played by creators, producers, and consumers in crafting superhero fiction, ultimately concluding that these narratives are essential for understanding vital trajectories in American culture. Hardcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 288 pages, Text (with B&W Chapter Illustrations and photos). Cover price $60.00.

    1st printing. By Harvey Pekar. Harvey Pekar flirted with fame for years. He was a regular guest on Late Night with David Letterman. He shared a close relationship with alternative illustrator R.

This new anthology of some of Harvey's greatest works is illustrated by some of the greatest artists in the business! Softcover, 8 1/2-in. x 11-in., 332 pages, B&W. Cover price $17.95.
