Cover by Jim Mooney. Back Cover by Bill Everett. Introduction by Dr. Michael J. Vassallo. The Goddess of Love...and SF horror: The eagerly anticipated single volume collecting the 10 rare issues of the overstuffed Venus comics! In the late 1940s, the first half of the Venus series from Marvel Comics predecessors Timely and Atlas Comics was published as a lighthearted romance comic about the goddess Venus taking a job on Earth at a beauty magazine. Never a company to miss a trend, Atlas began introducing more science fiction elements in the 1950s, and eventually turned Venus' dating adventures into a straight-out horror anthology. Collected here, 70 years later and for the first time ever, is that swift-changing second half of the 19-issue run. Future Marvel stars Bill Everett (seven issues) and Werner Roth (three issues) take Venus to heights of four-color weirdness and pre-Code horror ghastliness. Everett is given free rein and seizes the opportunity: writing, drawing, and lettering twenty ghoul is hand goofy masterpieces, including classics like "Hangman's House," "The Day Venus Vanished," "The House of Terror," "The Sealed Spectors," Tidal Wave of Terror," and the phantasmagorical "Cartoonist's Calamity!" These stories showcase the brilliant draftsmanship and storytelling of Everett, one of the giants of the 1940s and '50scomic book industry. His slick, fluid line rendered at Timely/Atlas, from his seminal god-child Prince Namor, the Sub-Mariner, to the atomic age Marvel Boy, is some of the finest pre-Code horror this side of E.C.'s Graham Ingels. Series editor Dr. Michael J. Vassallo assisted in the compilation of Venus for Marvel 13 years ago, and Fantagraphics is delighted to publish the horror half as the second title in The Fantagraphics Atlas Comics Library. Hardcover, 8-in. x 11-in., 280 pages, full color. Cover price $49.99.

2nd and later printings. NOTE: Covers on reprints may vary. Story and art by Will Eisner. The publication of A Contract With God when Eisner was sixty-one proved to be a watershed moment both for him and for comic literature. It marked the birth of the modern graphic novel and the beginning of an era when serious cartoonists could be liberated from their stultifying comic-book format. More than a quarter-century after the initial publication of A Contract With God, and in the last few months of his life, Eisner chose to combine the three fictional works he had set on Dropsie Avenue, the mythical street of his youth in Depression-era New York City. The Contract With God Trilogy is a mesmerizing, fictional chronicle of a universal American experience and Eisner's most poignant and enduring literary legacy. Hardcover, 500 pages, B&W. Cover price $39.95.

1st printing. Story and art by Mikael. Translated by Tom Imber. Harlem, 1931. In the heart of the Great Depression, invention is the mother of necessity to make ends meet. Stéphanie St. Clair, known as "Queenie," had already understood this when she landed in New York almost twenty years before. Inventiveness when you are a woman and you are black is much more than a necessity. It's a question of survival. In a few years, this young immigrant West Indian servant freed herself from the weight of ancestral servitude. Even better, she created her own American dream: the underground Harlem numbers game. Hers is an ascent that makes people cringe, both with the local authorities and the white mafia. Dutch Schultz, aka. the Dutchman, an unscrupulous mafioso, intends to take control of the kingdom of the "Frenchy." But that's without taking into account the determination and impetuosity of Queenie, whose heavy past continues to guide her steps... Mikaël takes us to the Harlem of the prohibition for the final chapter of his New York triptych. Hardcover, 9-in. x 12-in., 128 pages, full color. Cover price $27.99.

1st printing. Story and art by Peter Hoey. The Afterlife is just as the ancient Greeks imagined: an endless twilight where time stands still in perpetuity and shades have nowhere to go. For Jim, that means long shifts at a gas station, with only crossword puzzles and cigarettes to break the tedium. One day, two criminal shades from Jim's past come to collect a debt. They've tracked him down for something he didn't know he had: the ability to cross back into the living world. It's a rare gift, and they intend to exploit it. During Jim's first crossing back into sunny California, he meets Olivia, who is dying on an Echo Park sidewalk. Pulling her back from the edge of death, he strikes a connection that will run deeper than either can imagine. Jim weaves back and forth between the Afterlife and Los Angeles, desperately trying to evade the criminals' plot. But he and Olivia are pulled into a web of deceit and murder that reaches across both L.A. and the A.L., and ultimately to Hades himself. Softcover, 10-in. x 8-in., 208 pages, full color. Mature Readers Cover price $19.99.

1st printing. By James J Donahue. In recent years, studios like Marvel and DC have seen enormous success transforming comics into major motion pictures. At the same time, bookstores such as Barnes & Noble in the US and Indigo in Canada have made more room for comic books and graphic novels on their shelves. Yet despite the sustained popular appeal and the heightened availability of these media, Indigenous artists continue to find their work given little attention by mainstream publishers, booksellers, production houses, and academics. Nevertheless, Indigenous artists are increasingly turning to graphic narratives, with publishers like Native Realities LLC and Highwater Press carving out ever more space for Indigenous creators. In Indigenous Comics and Graphic Novels: Studies in Genre, James J. Donahue investigates the disparities of representation in the fields of comics studies and comics publishing. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 8 1/2-in., 172 pages, Text (with B&W Illustrations). Cover price $25.00.

1st printing. Written by Otto Binder, Al Feldstein, Gardner Fox, Jack Oleck, and Carl Wessler. Art by Jack Kamen, Will Elder, John Alton, Frank Bolle, Leonard Starr, Bill Fraccio, and Rudy Palais. Cover by Jack Kamen. Introduction by Thommy Burns. Twenty-seven horror stories by master comics artist Jack Kamen - including all 13 of his classic "Grim Fairy Tales." Jack Kamen's stories for The Vault of Horror, Tales From the Crypt, and The Haunt of Fear favored unnerving creepiness over gruesome shock. With his penchant for deft delineations of scheming women, jealous husbands, murderous love triangles, and not-so-innocent children, Kamen's pen laid down a precise, sure line that brought each story's shock ending into sharp relief. This volume features 27 Kamen favorites, drawn at the peak of his powers, including: "Kamen's Kalamity," featuring the "true" origin story of the artist himself! "How Green Was My Alley," the cautionary tale of a traveling salesman who spends every other week at home with his wife. And every other other week at his other home with his other wife! Then, Kamen switches from horror to horror-humor for all 13 of his classic "Grim Fairy Tales," revealing the gruesome underpinnings of the Grim classics. You'll never look at Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Hansel and Gretel, or Little Red RidingHood and their friends quite the same way again!Plus: seven bonus crime and horror stories by EC short-termers John Alton, Frank Bolle, Leonard Starr, Bill Fraccio, Rudy Palais, and Ed Smalle. I Like every book in the Fantagraphics EC Artists' Library, Kamen's Kalamity And Other Stories also features essays and notes by EC experts on these superbly crafted, classic masterpieces.
