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

1st printing. Vintage glamour girl artist extraordinaire Bill Ward gets the full Fantagraphics Studio Edition treatment featuring Ward's most polished, fully realized pinups from the 1950s and 1960s. Bill Ward's glamour girls were the staples of countless men's and humor magazines, where they shared the pages with cult models like Bettie Page, Tina Louise, and Julie Newmar, and cartoons by fellow "good girl" artists such as Archie's Dan Decarlo and Playboy's Jack Cole. What set Ward apart - and above - his talented contemporaries in terms of sheer image-making was his use of the conte crayon. When drawn on simple newsprint stock, this potent combination created Ward's trademark gossamer sheen on his women's thigh-high stockings. This Fantagraphics Studio edition showcases the best of Ward's Humorama work and includes a healthy number of what became known as his "telephone girls." Tame by today's standards, Ward's telephone girls were always caught in candid moments when they just happened to be talking on the phone dressed in gossamer lingerie in innocently provocative poses. Most of the images in this volume were drawn between 1955 and 1965 when Ward was at the height of his skill. They have been scanned in super high resolution from original art and reproduced to highlight every sheen and accentuate every curve to its fullest. The book not only reproduces more than 150 of Ward's most beautifully rendered illustrations, but also serves as a time capsule to a more innocent moment in pop culture when these images were shocking. The Fantagraphics Studio Edition also features an introduction by fashion/ style icon and burlesque superstar Dita Von Teese. An original pinup art collector herself, Dita was mostly recently featured in Taylor Swift's music video "Bejeweled." Alex Chun is a Los Angeles-based writer/editor focusing on all things pop culture. Dita Von Teese is the brightest star in burlesque since Gypsy Rose Lee. As style icon and muse to artists and photographers, she has appeared on magazine covers and on the runways for the world's top designers. Hardcover, 180 pages, full color. Cover price $175.00.

Written by Carlos Sampayo. Art and cover by Jose Munoz.

Born in Baltimore in 1915, and dead too early in New York in 1959, Billie Holiday became a legendary jazz singer, even mythical. With her voice even now managing to touch so many people, we follow a reporter on the trail of the artist on behalf of a New York daily. Beyond the public scandals that marred the life of the star (alcohol, drugs, violence...), he seeks to restore the truth, revisiting the memory of Billie.

Through this investigation, Muñoz and Sampayo trace, through the undertones of racism, and in the wake of the blues, the slow drift of a singer who expressed the deepest emotions in jazz, creating not just a biography but a spell-binding art book tribute.

Hardcover, 9-in. x 12-in., 80 pages, B&W.

Story and art by Mary Fleener.

At once light and playful, dark and complex-the compelling graphic novel debut of comics legend Mary Fleener.

Meet Billie, an oversized honeybee with an even bigger personality! She's bold, boisterous, and always singin' up a storm. Billie lives a sweet life exploring the marshes of San Diego and making friends with Kay the kind Fox, Rayleen the rattlesnake, and Flo and Mo, the dirty joke-telling turtle sisters. But one day humans arrive and illegally release some rabid creatures into the marsh lands, upsetting the delicate ecological balance of the habitat. Can Billie and her woodland friends band together to repel these wild outsiders? And when a natural disaster strikes, does Billie have what it takes to lead the hive?

Fleener's intricate crosshatching and signature mind-bending forays into cubist storytelling masterfully conjure up the world of her plucky honeybee protagonist. A deep dive into the secret life of bees, Billie's story is by turns both charming and harrowing.
