1st printing. By Danny Fingenoth. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's creation of the X-Men continued the success of the Marvel approach to superheroes: the X-Men are complex characters with complex relationships to which a broad readership could relate. The creation of this team of superheroes was also a response to shifts in family life as well as social and political revolutions: from the rise of divorce in America to the Civil Rights Movement. Moreover, experiences to which anyone could relate were also intricate to the popularity of the X-Men: For example, feelings of exclusion and wanting to be recognized as special and unique among peers. This celebration of the X-Men includes the story behind key X-Men members, enemies, and the writers and artists who brought them to life, as well as the influence the X-Men continues to have on the entertainment industry. Hardcover, 50 pages, 7 3/4-in. x 9 1/4-in., text with full color illustrations and photos. Cover price $21.99.

Written by Chris Claremont. Art and cover by Dave Cockrum.

By 1975 the X-Men had been relegated to reprint status for a number of years, and the title was not a safe bet to become one of the most popular comic book franchises of all time-but with the launch that year of GIANT SIZE X-MEN #1, by Len Wein and Dave Cockrum, that is precisely what happened! Dave Cockrum was the artist and architect of this newly revamped team, and he co-created Storm, Colossus, and, perhaps most notably, Nightcrawler. After the runaway success of Giant Size X-Men #1, the title began producing all-new stories with X-Men #94... and the rest is the stuff comic book dreams are made of!

This Artifact Edition contains more than 100 pages from Cockrum's initial run on X-Men, as well as some pages when the artist returned later for a second run on the characters several years later. As with all Artist's Edition style books from IDW Publishing (which have so far won six Eisner Awards), the pages presented were all scanned from Cockrum's actual original art and are printed at the same size they were drawn, mimicking the look and feel of the artist's hand-drawn work. As an added bonus, there is a gallery section featuring covers, sketches, and a few surprises-this is an art book MADE for fans of Dave Cockrum's X-Men art!

Written by Leo Grasset. Art and cover by Colas Grasset.

What is sex? Has it always existed? What purpose does it serve? Why are there penises and vaginas? These questions are at the very core of Dirty Biology, an erudite (and hilarious) graphic novel that aims to teach you everything you wanted to know about sex - and then some. This book explains what we actually mean when we talk about sex and reveals a wealth of astonishing scientific details along the way.

From the evolution of penises and vaginas to far-fetched mating rituals and the shocking consequences of the sex act, Dirty Biology exposes sex for what it is: a lot more interesting and more complicated than the simplistic image we often have of it.
