Comic books in 'Illustrated Book'

1st printing.

Based on the Story by Otto Binder. Adapted by Robert L. Reiner. Art and cover by Angelo Torres and Stefan Koidl. Introduction and Foreword by Emil Ferris.

The Unwanted is Otto Binder's response to the 1950s McCarthy era of paranoia and intolerance, couched in metaphorical science fiction terms. A civilization of "Mastermen" rules the galactic empire and must evaluate citizens of the various planets for inclusion into an imperial congress. Membership means access to technology, prosperity and protection. We learn the priorities and values of these visitors and why, in evaluating this planet, the Mastermen find a world shockingly different from their own.

Written in the 1950s and never before published, this edition pays homage to Binder's comics career by enlisting the collaborative talents of Angelo Torres - who, with Al, Williamson and Roy Krenkel, illustrated Binder's EC story "Lost in Space" in 1955 - and Austrian sculptor, speed painter, and digital artist Stefan Koidl, to illustrate it. The result is a stunning tribute to Binder's lifelong commitment to comics and prose.

Story and art by Bill Mauldin.

The real war," said Walt Whitman, "will never get in the books." During World War II, the truest glimpse most Americans got of the "real war" came through the flashing black lines of twenty-two-year-old infantry sergeant Bill Mauldin.

Week after week, Mauldin defied army censors, German artillery, and Patton's pledge to "throw his ass in jail" to deliver his wildly popular cartoon, "Up Front," to the pages of Stars and Stripes. "Up Front" featured the wise-cracking Willie and Joe, whose stooped shoulders, mud-soaked uniforms, and pidgin of army slang and slum dialect bore eloquent witness to the world of combat and the men who lived—and died—in it.

This taut, lushly illustrated biography—the first of two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Bill Mauldin—is illustrated with more than ninety classic Mauldin cartoons and rare photographs. It traces the improbable career and tumultuous private life of a charismatic genius who rose to fame on his motto: "If it's big, hit it.

Hardcover, 6 1/2-in. x 9-in., 230 pages, text (with B&W illustrations).

Written by Daniel Pinkwater. Art and cover by Aaron Renier.

Welcome to the village of Blinsh, Pinksylvania, famous for the many vampires that call it home.

With a caring look at this town not so different from our own, we hope the reader will get to know more about vampires and see that they are not so different from you or I. It is true, a certain amount of biting happens, but a nip on the neck may just be a vampire's way of saying, "Hello, let's be friends."

This story features spooky (but fun!) vampires, and culminates on Halloween night, with tongue-twisting names and playful illustrations throughout.
