1st printing. By Alex Langley. Over the past few years, a huge shift has taken place in our culture and what was once hopelessly geeky - video games, superheroes, fantasy novels, science fiction - has now become cool, and geeks themselves are our new hip overlords. Although "geeks" and "lust" are two words typically not found in the same sentence, both share a powerful common factor: passion. And if geeks are anything, it's passionate about their interests. Alex Langley takes a humorous and insightful look at the things that make geek lust burn like 1.21 giga-suns, from movies, TV shows and comic books to inventors, physics and time travel. Let the desire begin! Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 240 pages, B&W. Cover price $14.99.

1st printing. By Art Spiegelman. Art Spiegelman's Maus is an undisputed modern classic. Part history, part memoir, all comic, it recounts his father's chilling experiences during the Holocaust, with Jews drawn as wide-eyed mice and Nazis as menacing cats. In 1992, it became the first graphic novel to win a Pulitzer Prize. In MetaMaus, Spiegelman welcomes readers into his world and the thirteen years-long artistic process behind his seminal book. In extensive interviews with the author and his family-including Spiegelman's original conversation with his father, which served as the foundational narrative of Maus-MetaMaus grapples with the original work's most foundational questions: Why write about the Holocaust? Why choose comics as a medium? Why mice? Richly interspersed with excerpts from Spiegelman's own sketchbooks, as well as drawings by Holocaust survivors and archival photographs, MetaMaus is a vivid glimpse into the creative life of an artist, the vital work of a historian, and the birth of a magnum opus. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 304 pages, full color. Cover price $25.00.

Also includes a three page text story, "The Palladium," a two page ad for a hippie clothing shop--Tiger Morse's Teenie Weenie at 53rd and Broadway, NY, NY--specializing in psychadelic (now quaint) clothing and side-splitting dialogue as per, "At Tiger Morse's you know who survives...the fittest! Groovy girl animal who's just about to evolve!" and " To keep silent while you're swinging through the forest, or if you'd rather dance it up than talk it out--the Morse yes or no--dress in white vinyl-- is the grooviest way to accentuate the positive!" (we remember when women did wear vinyl dresses--THAT's what's scary!), plus "Make-Up for Your Life" with tips such as "Nature grooves cellular make-up," and plenty of other side-splitting comments from the flower child era. Last but not least, the two page "The Sun" provides an introduction to the signs and meaning of the zodiac, all with a positive flower child flavor.
