Mile High Comics Catalog of Mail Order Excellence, Section 1 of 3 (each section a 20 page tabloid-sized supplement to The Comics Buyer's Guide #190, 1972). The three supplements together list the great majority of Golden Age comics from the legendary Mile High Collection, the largest single collection of Golden Age ever discovered. In Section One, the first comic listed is Abbie & Slats Single Series # 25 for $8.00. The owner of Mile High Comics, Chuck Rozanski, initially held back some key issues. Thus the first Action Comic listed is # 22 in NM for $180.00. The last title listed on the last page of Section 1 is Georgie with #1 in NM for $12.00. The copy of the catalog on which this text is based was acquired from Don Maris, a longtime friend of Lone Star's owner, Buddy Saunders. Here are Don's comments on this fascinating and legendary collection: "Way back in 1976, I was going to comic cons, and collecting like crazy (even though I had very little money). I subscribed to the Comic Buyers Guide from the first one, and so I received three sections of Chuck Rozanski's Original and First Catalog of his amazing find. I also went to Houston Con where Chuck set up to sell this collection for the first time. We all thought the prices he was asking were, for the most part, too high. Nevertheless, when I saw Chuck in Houston I ordered the first seven Supersnipe Comics from him. (They were extremely hard to find, and since my childhood nick name was Supersnipe, I loved the comic.)" Tabloid 11-1/2-in. x 17.5-in., 20 pages, newsprint.

Through his highly subversive art Ron English (b. 1959) has bombed the global landscape with striking and often unsettling imagery. He coined the term" POPaganda" to describe his signature and darkly satirical renderings of corporate branding icons. His work is populated with a vast and constantly growing arsenal of original characters such as MC Supersized; the obese fast-food mascot featured in the movie Supersize Me; and Abraham Obama, which fused America's 16th and 44th Presidents.

This book is the first complete retrospective of English's work, compiling his paintings, illustrations, toys, sculpture, street art, and "agit-pop." Additionally, it contains a lengthy and comprehensive interview with the artist conducted exclusively for this publication.

Story and art by Dave Gibbons.

When they walk, they look cool. When they ride, they drive fast. And when they hate, they fight - brutally. One of comics' most esteemed names, Dave Gibbons (co-creator and artist of WATCHMEN and Give Me Liberty) arrives at VERTIGO to deliver an original hardcover graphic novel he's been waiting his entire life to write and draw.

Lel and Bok - two best friends - want nothing more than to join the Originals, the top gang on the streets. Through them, they'll meet the high-speed world of hover scooters, all-night clubs, and, for Lel, the girl of his dreams in particular. But with the fast life comes tough foes, and tribal loyalty will teach them the unforgettable meaning of unforgivable loss.

Neither a science-fiction story nor set in a mundane reality, THE ORIGINALS takes place in a world both familiar and strange, where the young are angry, loyal and stylish. And the only thing more important than who your friends are is who your friends hate.

1st printing. Written by Thierry Smolderen. Art by Rudolph Dirks. The Origins of Comics: From William Hogarth to Winsor McCay, Thierry Smolderen presents a cultural landscape whose narrative differs in many ways from those presented by other historians of the comic strip. Rather than beginning his inquiry with the popularly accepted "sequential art" definition of the comic strip, Smolderen instead engages with the historical dimensions that inform that definition. His goal is to understand the processes that led to the 20th-century comic strip, the highly recognizable species of picture stories that crystallized around 1900 in the United States.
