1st printing. Text by Roger Hill. Art and cover by Matt Fox. Matt Fox (1906-1988) first gained notoriety for his jarring cover paintings on the pulp magazine Weird Tales from 1943 to 1951. His almost primitive artistry encompassed ghouls, demons, and grotesqueries of all types, evoking a disquieting horror vibe that no one since has ever matched. Fox suffered with chronic pain throughout his life, and that anguish permeated his classic 1950s cover illustrations and his lone story for Chilling Tales, putting them at the top of all pre-code horror comic enthusiasts' want lists. Comic art historian Roger Hill tells Fox's life story, through an informative biographical essay, augmented with an insightful introduction by From the Tomb editor Peter Normanton. This full-color hardcover also showcases his Weird Tales covers and interior illustrations, and a special Atlas Comics gallery with examples of his inking over Gil Kane, Larry Lieber, and others. Hardcover, 9-in. x 11-in., 128 pages, full color. Cover price $29.95.

1st printing. Story and art by Jeffrey Brown. As he's shown in his previous hugely popular books, Jeffrey Brown has a real gift for finding humor in quirky yet universal truths. Now the bestselling author of Darth Vader and Son and Vader's Little Princess brings his witty comic observations to terrestrial parenting in this perceptive book celebrating the more surreal moments of raising a child. In charming colorful panels, Brown wryly illustrates his fiveyear- old son's take on the world around him, from watching TV ("Elton John looks pretty in that shirt") to playing with toys ("This truck can survive on very little water") to odd requests ("Don't feel happy at me"), capturing the sweetly weird times that mothers and fathers everywhere experience with their own curious, pure-minded kids.

Story and art by Rich Sparks.

The world can always use a laugh. But today, the world could really use these laughs in this collection of comic strips and panel cartoons.

Love and Other Weird Things is a cartoon collection by the soon-to-be-household-name-if-there's-any-justice-in-the-world Rich Sparks. The cast of characters seems innocuous enough: foul-mouthed animals, Paul Bunyan, Smokey the Bear, stout men in tighty-whities. But the situations give Monty Python a run for their money. And the juxtapositions-good heavens! Sparks has been published in the New Yorker, the Wall Street Journal, and many other publications.

Now, he breaks out on his own with approximately 150 bizarre but sweet(ish)-but, no, seriously, really bizarre-but also really funny cartoons.

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.
