    Dark Horse Edition - Volume 1 - 1st printing. Collects Pearl (2018 DC) #1-6.

    Written by Brian Michael Bendis. Art and cover by Michael Gaydos.

    The New York Times bestselling, Peabody, and multi-Eisner Award-winning writer Brian Michael Bendis (Superman) and superstar Jessica Jones cocreator Michael Gaydos begin a masterful saga involving art, crime, loyalty, and passion.

    Pearl Tanaka's an outsider among outsiders. A Japanese American born into a world ruled by the American yakuza. Now she uses her skills as a tattoo artist to make a living in San Francisco, and all that she owes to the yakuza is the occasional kickback from her shop.

    That all changes the day that she meets Rick Araki . . . and saves his life. Rick is another tattoo artist, who's run afoul of a different yakuza clan. By interfering with their hit on him, Pearl risks drawing her patron into a deadly gang war.

    Worse, Pearl has revealed to her yakuza bosses one of her deepest secrets: she has a talent for killing.

    PEARL HARBOR: THE COMIC BOOK #1 (Families of Altered War #86) by Ted Nomura AP Core Title! On December 7th, 1941, a combined Imperial Japanese Navy air force attacked Hawaii, with devastating results. The disaster propelled and united America into total retaliation that resulted in the atomic holocausts of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And yet, most of us have only seen the tip of the iceberg on the voyage that led to Pearl Harbor. In recognition of the upcoming 60th anniversary of the event, and based on newly discovered and declassified information, Pearl Harbor: The Comic Book will present the most accurate account of these events to date, adding the lesser-known stories. Written and drawn by Luftwaffe/World War II/Kamikaze: 1946 artist Ted Nomura, whose family fought on the Japanese side, and is a serving member in the U.S. armed forces. This situation gives him the unique opportunity of a non-biased view of this important chapter in U.S. history. Part 1 will cover the road that led to the destruction of the battleship USS Arizona at Pearl Harbor, while Part 2 will cover the tragedy that followed. No fictional characters will be used in this special true-to-history edition, because truth is indeed stranger than fiction!

    Written by Raffaella Delle Donne and Anthony Silverston. Art and cover by) Willem Samuel.

    Since her mother left, Pearl has spent more and more time in the ocean, fishing to help her father pay the bills. But when she gets mixed up with a group of poachers and starts diving near a restricted wreck, Pearl meets an ancient sea monster named Otto-who isn't quite as monstrous as she thought. And when Otto's enemies come back to finish what they started, Pearl is the only one who can save him, but only if she has the courage to let go of her past and open up to others-including the girl from class she's got a crush on.

    With her one-eyed pup sidekick and a whole lot of nerve, Pearl may just be able to save Otto and finally tell the truth to her father... and, more importantly, to herself.

    Story and art by Stephan Pastis.

    In this, Pearls Before Swine treasury, you'll know you're not in Kansas anymore. The Pearls Before Swine crew are at it again in their new book, Lions and Tigers and Crocs, Oh My! But even the wonderful Wizard of Oz couldn't help this bunch of merry misfits.

As in the previous Pearls treasury collection, Sgt. Piggy's Lonely Hearts Club Comic, the comic strips are annotated, as only the smart-alecky, misanthropic-but-lovable Pastis can do. Following his yellow brick road of notes, readers gain great insights into the making of such classic Pearls bits as Rat's stint as a New York Times reporter, Angry Bob, Pig's plastic surgery, the Mallet o' Understanding, Mrs. Bootyworth, and the fraternal order of the Zeeba Zeeba Eetas.

    A special bonus feature included in Lions and Tigers and Crocs is "The Good, the Banned, and the Ugly," a section of never-before-published and unedited Pearls strips. So go, as fast as lightning, to the Emerald City-or the cash register-and buy this book, before a twister drops a Box o' Stupid People on you!

    Pearls Before Swine: Nighthogs TPB (2005 Andrews McMeel) 1-1ST

    1st printing.

    By Stephan Pastis.

    Pearls Before Swine was voted the Best Comic Strip of 2003 by the National Cartoonists Society, and in Nighthogs, the strip's third collection, Stephan Pastis proves that his strip is one of the sharpest, funniest comics in newspapers.You never know who you'll bump into at a diner at night. It could be a rat with an anger-management problem. Or an overly sentimental pig. Or a zebra with a story or two to tell about a crocodile. Or even a goat who just wants to be left alone.

    Welcome to Nighthogs, where the door is always open, the light is always on, and the coffee is as scorching as the humor.

    In this third collection of the immensely popular Pearls Before Swine, Stephan Pastis again takes us into the world of Rat, Pig, Zebra, and Goat, and he shows once more just how outrageous-and how hilarious-the unpredictable can be. Always surprising (and only occasionally depraved), Pearls Before Swine is one of the sharpest comic strips in newspapers today. So pull up a stool, have a cup of joe, and enjoy.

    1st printing. Story and art by Stephan Pastis. Stephan Pastis may not be the kind, selfless arachnid of E.B.

In Stephan's Web, the Pearls gang continues to find that friendship and puns are the best defense against everyday predators, like self-righteous vegans, cyclists, and fruitarians.
