"Pure Art" Variant. Written by Mike Wolfer. Art by Marc Borstel. Cover by Renato Camilo. The Queen of the Dead is back to life with an all-new series at Boundless! This super-size #1 features the start of a new fully-painted series from artist Marc Borstel but also has a giant story-so-far to bring all readers up to speed on previous series and make this a perfect place for new readers to start. Much has changed during Lady Death's absence from the Under Realm, most notably the near-extinction of the warrior class Demons. What devastating effects the demon annihilation will have on the Under Realm remains to be seen, but Hope cannot stand-by idly as a convoy of enslaved demons rolls through the night toward its captives' oblivion. As her plans of rising to power depend on the loyal foot-soldiers she abandoned, now she must rescue them at all cost. The biggest Lady Death epic to date kicks off here! 48 pages, full color. Cover price $9.99.

Roy Thomas Presents: Sheena Queen of the Jungle HC (2014 PS Artbooks Slipcase Edition) 3-1ST VF+ 8.5

Volume 3 - 1st printing. "Spring 1951 to Winter 1952!" Collects Sheena Queen of the Jungle (1942-1953 Fiction House) #11-18. Written by Roy Thomas. Art by Robert Webb and Alex A. Blum. She may still be everyone's favourite yellow-tressed leopard-skin-clad Jungle Jane but, having made her first appearance almost 80 years ago (courtesy of Will Eisner and 'Jerry' Iger in the British mag Wags #1), Sheena, Queen of the Jungle could be forgiven for being somewhat less spritely swinging through the trees righting wrongs and wielding her knife. In 1938, she made it Stateside with her first showing in Jungle Comics #1 where she settled happily in every issue (plus a decade in her own title) until April 1953. There have been other incarnations, of course, but it's this classic material that strikes at the very heart of Good Girl Art! Hardcover (with Slipcase), 312 pages, full color. Cover price $64.99.
