By Jesus Cansino & Jesus Barony. For centuries, the Ar Ze people (half-orc, half-human) have lived in the Green Lands (Grunland) with the sole purpose of surveilling the Mountain. The evil the Mountain keeps is so terrible, and the magic to fight it is so powerful, that writing is forbidden to them...so this power can never be passed on to outsiders. But memory is betrayal and with the passing of the years, the Ar Ze become a people who ignore their origins and the reasons for their tasks. Their magic is weaker now, and only the shamans know of it. Somehow, creatures called Erictos have avoided the Ar Ze's surveillance and have left their Mountain haven to bring terror and death to the small towns below it with the Estgian Whisper, a spell that brings the dead back to life as slaves of Evil! The situation worsens when the two most powerful empires outside Grunland, the Romans and the Japanese, arrive on their shores! SC, 56pgs, FCSRP: $5.99 Cover price $5.99.

It seems that time travel is once again called for, but this time timges are kind of strange. In fact, history itself has begun to disappear! All kinds of people are showing up where they shouldn't be--or not showing up where they should! The key seems to fall somewhere in the 1870's, around Dodge City, Kansas. All you've got to do is go there and fix the problems. But Dodge City is a city under siege, a siege that only Superheroes can break. Ready to attack are the armies of Napoleon, Genghes Khan, and Alexander the Great! Softcover, 8 1/2-in. x 11-in., 64 pages, B&W.
