A Graphic Novel/Prose Hybrid

1st printing.

Written by Gary Phillips. Art by Jason Schaufele and James Burns. Cover byJason Schaufele.

Xal-Kor was created by Richard "Grass" Green, a pioneer in those days of fandom not only for giving us the Human Cat, but being back then one of, if not the only initially, African-American producing work for the fanzines. With his dynamic style clearly inspired by Jack "King" Kirby, Grass Green's Xal-Kor was a '70s Marvel Comics kind of superhero.

This one-shot delivers adventure, while being reminiscent of fandom's Golden Age, but with a modernistic undercurrent.

2nd Edition - 1st printing. Written by James Howe. Art by Alan Daniel. HOW DID ROSEBUD CHECK OUT FROM HOWLIDAY INN? The Monroes have gone on vacation, once again leaving Harold, Chester, and Howie at Chateau Bow-Wow, which Chester aptly dubbed "Howliday Inn" during their last stay there. The motley crew of boarders may have changed, but the creepy goings-on at Howliday Inn have not. A ghostly voice, buried bones, and a collar with the name "Rosebud" on it suggest that murder may have been added to the services offered at the kennel. A pair of yuppie puppies from posh Upper Centerville, two cat burglars (sisters-in-crime) named Felony and Miss Demeanor, a melancholy Great Dane named Hamlet, and a weasel named, well, The Weasel, join the Monroe pets in getting to the bottom of the mysterious happenings. But will they be able to escape the fate that may have befallen Rosebud? Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 192 pages, Text (with B&W Chapter Illustrations). Cover price $6.99.

Volume 1 - 1st printing.

Written by George R. R. Martin, Elio M. Garcia, Jr., and Linda Antonsson.

Packed with all-new artwork, the Targaryens-and their dragons-come vividly to life in this deluxe reference book.

For hundreds of years, the Targaryens sat the Iron Throne of Westeros while their dragons ruled the skies. The story of the only family of dragonlords to survive Valyria's Doom is a tale of twisty politics, alliances and betrayals, and acts both noble and craven.

The Rise of the Dragon chronicles the creation and rise of Targaryen power in Westeros, covering the history first told in George R. R. Martin's epic Fire & Blood, from Aegon Targaryen's conquest of Westeros through to the infamous Dance of the Dragons - the bloody civil war that nearly undid Targaryen rule for good.
