Before he can learn more, he must stop a bank robbery and prevent bad guys from launching Janie Smart into space. Mystery-magazine editor Jim Dolan solves real crimes in his spare time.

Wow Comics #1 (originally published in 1940) is one in a series of reprints published in 1975 by comic and toy collector Don Maris. While similar in format to the Flashback reprints published by DynaPubs (Alan Light), the Maris editions reprint different Gold Age issues and represent better reproduction quality. Note: Hit Comics #1, Plastic Man #2, and Silver Streak #6 are the only issues reprinted by both publishers. The Maris and Flashback issues have become very collectible in their own right. They also represent a very inexpensive way for comic readers to read and enjoy comics that typically sell for thousands of dollars. Each Maris edition reproduces the original comic (some ad pages have been replaced with contemporary ads) except that the interior pages are in black-and-white rather than the original color. Cover price $3.00.

1st printing. Story and art by Ned Wenlock. Peter is a misfit, an awkward 12-year-old whos mercilessly bullied in school and quietly ignored at home. Peters lonely life in small-town New Zealand is upended by the arrival of Charlie, a badass girl who might just be the friend Peter has been needing… But when Peters bull-headed commitment to the truth brings him into conflict with Gus, a troubled and violent classmate, things quickly spiral out of control and the two boys find themselves in a terrifying situation neither of them could have ever imagined.

1st printing. Written by David Pérez. Art by George Pérez. It's the South Bronx of the 1960s, a neighborhood teetering on change. The young Puerto Rican boy David Pérez is living in the Millbrook housing projects, about to be transferred to St. Luke's Elementary School, where he's already attended catechism and asked if God "popped out of nowhere." So begins this delightful and engaging "memoirito," a novella-like tale that follows David trying his best to be "cool" in a neighborhood where being smart in school isn't something to brag about. The first in a series, Wow! also adds a fresh chapter to the colorful chronicles of Latinos living in the United States - complex, layered, y lleno de sabor. Features illustrations by renowned comic book artist George Pérez (Avengers, New Teen Titans), David's brother. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 8 1/2-in., 128 pages, Text (with B&W Chapter Illustrations). Cover price $10.00.
