NEWAVE! is a gigantic collection of the best small press cartoonists to emerge in the 1970s after the first generation of underground cartoonists (such as R. Crumb, Gilbert Shelton, and Art Spiegelman) paved the way. These cartoonists, inspired by the freewheeling creative energy of the underground commix movement, began drawing and printing their own comix. The most popular format was an 8 1/2" x 11" sheet, folded twice, and printed at local, pre-Kinkos print shops on letter-size paper; because of the small size, they were dubbed "mini comix." As they evolved many different artists, one by one, became interested in this do-it-yourself phenomenon. By the 1980's they became known as Newave Comix, a term taken from England's Newave rock 'n' roll movement. An explosion of do-it-yourself artists emerged. Many talented artists went onto bigger and better things, others have disappeared into the fog never to be heard from again. Inspired by the creative freedom of their underground predecessors and unrestrained by commercial boundaries or editorial edicts, their work was particularly innovative and experimental. Here you will find a group of artists who could not get any attention from the mainstream, who were driven by the inner need to express themselves. This group was a pioneering force that still leaves a wake and an imprint on the alternative comix scene today. NEWAVE features over 700 pages of comics, as well as a historical introduction by editor Michael Dowers, and interviews with several of the more prominent artists featured, such as Brad Foster, Artie Romero, Steve Willis, Dennis Worden, Bob X, J.R. Williams, Roger May, Tom Hosier, George Erling, and Bob Vojtko. Hardcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 750 pages, B&W. Mature Readers Cover price $24.99.

Written by Mike Baron. Art and cover by Steve Rude. Compelled by an alien to seek out and execute mass murderers, Nexus was haunted by dreams of their monstrous crimes. Not even his virtually limitless power, derived from the heart of a star, can resolve his dilemma. How does a decent man force himself to repeatedly confront the basest evil? In moments of reflection, he must admit to himself an unspeakable truth: He likes his job. In this new series, written and illustrated by the Eisner Award-winning writer/artist team of Mike Baron and Steve Rude, Nexus is his own master, freed from the nightmares. But in exchange for that freedom, he has struck a bargain -- he has agreed to seek out and execute mass murderers on his own, at least three a month. When a young girl seeks him out to gain vengeance on the pirates who murdered her family, Nexus undertakes a mission that will force him to confront the stark irony of his terrible choice -- power to do good in exchange for killing. 32 pages, FC.
