Can Salvation - an oasis run by Jim Hammond, the Vision and Wonder Man - protect what little humanity resides in the "Dead Zone"? And how will the Hank Pym of 1872 react when banished to this hellish landscape?

    1st printing.

    Written by Marc Tyler Nobleman. Art and cover by Ty Templeton.

    Every Batman story is marked with the words "Batman created by Bob Kane." But that isn't the whole truth.

    A struggling writer named Bill Finger was involved from the beginning. Bill helped invent Batman, from concept to costume to character. He dreamed up Batman's haunting origins and his colorful nemeses. Despite his brilliance, Bill worked in obscurity. It was only after his death that fans went to bat for Bill, calling for acknowledgment that he was the co-creator of Batman.

    Based on original research, Bill the Boy Wonder is the first-ever book about the unsung man behind the Dark Knight.

    Hardcover, 8-in. x 11-in., 48 pages, Text (with full color illustrations and photos).

    NOTE: "This is an absolute must read for any comic book fan, writer, and artist. Afterwards, seek out the documentary Batman and Bill. Here, the heartbreaking story of Bill Finger finally gets a much deserved happy ending." - Odinson, mycomicshop.com Archivist

    When a comet lands on Earth, it brings a child who will become Earth's most powerful hero. Sounds familiar?

    Well, it also brings an ultra-virus that bestows powers to a select genetically pre-disposed few. In a world where those with superpowers invoke fear and awe, some become celebrities, others become scapegoats - and some exploit these new abilities for their own agenda. Who will defend the powered few when the many seek to cage and/or control them?

    Enter Cassidy Crawford, the most prominent defense attorney who leads a law firm that specializes in protecting this new minority population from overzealous laws, police, and prosecutors.

    This book kicks off Cassidy's case of a lifetime - the murder of Airstrike, the world's most powerful hero! Now she must defend the man she loathes accused of killing the man she loved.

    1st printing. By Carl Barks. DONALD AND HIS NEPHEWS FACE GHOSTS, WILD WEST VILLAINY, AND MUCH MORE IN NEW COLLECTION! With this volume, "The Complete Carl Barks Disney Library" loops back to Barks's earlier days, collecting the entirety of Barks's (astounding) 1948 output. The title story, "The Old Castle's Secret," is notable not just for being the first full-length 32-page adventure instigated by Scrooge McDuck (in his second-ever appearance), but for featuring some of Barks's spookiest, lushest settings in old Clan McDuck castle of Dismal Downs. The other long story, "The Sheriff of Bullet Valley," plunks Donald and the nephews in the Wild West, with Donald as an overconfident deputy having to deal with some high-tech rustlers. The book also includes the less-known "In Darkest Africa," originally published in a giveaway and unreleased for decades. This volume also features an even 10 of Barks's dynamic "Walt Disney's Comics and Stories" 10-pagers, including "Wintertime Wager" (the first appearance of a not-yet-lucky-but-still-obnoxious Gladstone Gander); "Spoil the Rod" (in which the exquisitely named educational professor Pulpheart Clabberhead is brought in to help tame the nephews); "Rocket Race to the Moon" (a rare full-on adventure-interplanetary, no less-in the short form); "Gladstone Returns" and "Links Highjinks" (two more Gladstone yarns); and five more stories... plus a half-dozen hilarious one-page gags. Of course, once again all the stories have been shot from crisp originals, then re-colored (and printed) to match, for the first time since their original release over 60 years ago, the colorful yet soft hues of the originals-and of course the book is rounded off with essays about Barks, the Ducks, and these specific stories by Barks experts from all over the world! Hardcover, 8-in. x 10-in., 240 pages, full color. Cover price $28.99.

The other long story, "The Sheriff of Bullet Valley," plunks Donald and the nephews in the Wild West, with Donald as an overconfident deputy having to deal with some high-tech rustlers. The book also includes the less-known "In Darkest Africa," originally published in a giveaway and unreleased for decades. This volume also features an even 10 of Barks's dynamic "Walt Disney's Comics and Stories" 10-pagers, including "Wintertime Wager" (the first appearance of a not-yet-lucky-but-still-obnoxious Gladstone Gander); "Spoil the Rod" (in which the exquisitely named educational professor Pulpheart Clabberhead is brought in to help tame the nephews); "Rocket Race to the Moon" (a rare full-on adventure-interplanetary, no less-in the short form); "Gladstone Returns" and "Links Highjinks" (two more Gladstone yarns); and five more stories... plus a half-dozen hilarious one-page gags. Of course, once again all the stories have been shot from crisp originals, then re-colored (and printed) to match, for the first time since their original release over 60 years ago, the colorful yet soft hues of the originals-and of course the book is rounded off with essays about Barks, the Ducks, and these specific stories by Barks experts from all over the world! Hardcover, 8-in. x 10-in., 240 pages, full color. Cover price $28.99.

    Written by J. K. Rowling. Art and cover by Jim Kay.

    Award-winning artist Jim Kay illustrates year two of Harry's adventures at Hogwarts.

    The Dursleys were so mean and hideous that summer that all Harry Potter wanted was to get back to the Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. But just as he's packing his bags, Harry receives a warning from a strange, impish creature named Dobby who says that if Harry Potter returns to Hogwarts, disaster will strike. Fresh torments and horrors arise, including an outrageously stuck-up new professor, Gilderoy Lockhart, a spirit named Moaning Myrtle who haunts the girls' bathroom, and the unwanted attentions of Ron Weasley's younger sister, Ginny. But each of these seem minor annoyances when the real trouble begins, and someone - or something - starts turning Hogwarts students to stone.

    Could it possibly be Hagrid, whose mysterious past is finally told? Or could it be the one everyone at Hogwarts most suspects, Harry Potter himself?
