    Best of Simon and Kirby's Mainline Comics HC (2023 TwoMorrows) 1-1ST


    (see more images)

    1st printing. Written by Joe Simon. Art by Jack Kirby, John Prentice, Bill Draut, Mort Meskin, and Joe Simon. Cover by Jack Kirby. Art Restoration by Christopher Fama. Introduction by John Morrow. In 1954, industry legends Joe Simon and Jack Kirby founded Mainline Publications to publish their own comics during that turbulent era in comics history. The four titles-Bullseye, Foxhole, Police Trap, and In Love-looked to build off their reputation as hit makers in the Western, War, Crime, and Romance genres, but the 1950s backlash against comics killed any chance at success, and Mainline closed its doors just two years later. TwoMorrows Publishing is compiling the best of Simon & Kirby's Mainline comics work, including all of the stories with S&K art, as well as key tales with contributions by Mort Meskin and others. This collection bridges the gap between Simon & Kirby's peak with their 1950s romance comics, and the lows that led to Kirby's resurgence with Challengers of the Unknown and the early Marvel Universe. With loving art restoration by Chris Fama, and an historical overview by John Morrow to put it all into perspective, the Best of Simon & Kirby's Mainline Comics presents some of the final, and finest, work Joe and Jack ever produced! Hardcover, 8-in. x 11-in., 256 pages, full color. Cover price $49.95.

    Beta Testing the Apocalypse HC (2022 Fantagraphics) 1-1ST

    1st printing.

    Story and art by Tom Kaczynski. Introduction by Christopher Brown.

    This groundbreaking collection, originally published in an Eisner-nominated, smaller edition a decade ago, has only proven more prescient and resonant to our contemporary times than ever.

    For this new edition, Kaczynski created the original stories "Billion Dollar Budget" and "Rediscovery of the Real" and annotations. There's also a new foreword by science fiction writer Christopher Brown (Tropic of Kansas) and an entirely new cover design.

    Tom Kaczynski's graphic short stories trace a complex space-time trajectory from the smallest corporate cubicle out to farthest fathoms of the multiverse. Occult economics, metaphysical traffic jams, Marxist zombies on Mars, secret architectural societies, designer ghosts from the future, and demographics demons are just a few elements of a new untested future eschatology.

And now, on the day of the big game, illness and injuries have the team facing a crushing defeat... unless the unlikeliest Cream Puff of all can come in from the bullpen and save the day. Then, how does his soccer team manage to lose to a school with a sixty-game winless streak? What's he doing at the movies on a Friday night... with Gina? And why, oh why is one of his classmates (hint: she's Nate's dream girl) suddenly moving 3,000 miles away? It's all enough to make a sixth-grade superstar feel... well, not so super.
