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.

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.

1st printing. By Kim Newman. From the acclaimed critic and award-winning author of Anno Dracula comes a bitingly satirical story of superheroism, soap opera and alternative reality -- for readers of Austin Grossmans Soon I Will Be Invincible and George R.R. Martins Wild Cards. When Chrissie Chambers (model actress whatever) discovers her soap opera character is about to be killed off, she finally stops dieting and discovers hitherto untapped supernatural abilities. Meanwhile, Chrissies aunt - former national heroine Lady Shade - goes missing. Afraid for Jasmines safety and itching to costume-up, Chrissie and her ghost-possessed best friend Loulee break into Devils Dyke, the asylum where Jasmine works as a therapist with the most dangerous cutthroats (supervillains) in Britain… only to find the inmates have taken over… Chrissie debuts successfully as a cloak (superheroine), but who will become the arch-nemesis of Lady Shade II? In Chrissies timeline, the Beatles didnt split up and recorded a hallucinodelic album in 1972 – Never Mind (strictly, Never Mind the Beatles) – which literally changed the world. Set in an alternative 2020s London, this hugely entertaining, darkly humorous superhero tale is packed with Newmans trademark wit, and comes with wickedly sharp edges.

Volume 1 - 1st Printing. Story, art, and cover by Lee So-Young. Ji Ye is a Korean art student who comes to Europe to study. Her brushstrokes aren't going as well as she would like, but she's determined to make it as an artist. One evening her friend brings a drunk man over to crash at her pad. That night she has bad dreams that the drunk is really a blood-sucking vampire. But when she wakes up, she realizes it wasn't a dream! Unafraid, she's suddenly bitten by the creative bug, and starts to paint his portrait. His beauty and alluring preternatural energy lets Ji Ye's artistic juices flow, and the two strike a deal: Ji Ye will allow the vampire to feed on her, and in return he will pose for her. This could be exactly what Ji Ye needs to finally succeed as a painter, but at what price? Softcover, 5-in. x 7 1/2-in., 192 pages, B&W. Mature Readers. Cover price $9.99.
