1st printing. By Lisa Petrucci. Walk through a sparkling world of make-believe, a cotton-candy-colored dream world of hearts, flowers, and switchblades, of dewy-eyed cartoon pinup gals, kutie-pie kowgirls, leopard-skinned sweeties, hatchet-wielding honeys, and the cuddliest devil kitties Hell has to offer. The art of Lisa Petrucci is a honey-coated maelstrom of contradictions-the innocence of lost Americana, childhood nostalgia, and traditional feminine iconography all presented with a rebellious spirit. Kickass Kuties: The Art of Lisa Petrucci is the first collection of the artist's remarkable catalog, a hallucinatory tour through an emporium of cultural chaos, a bipolar gallery of imagery both sacred and profane. Lisa's work has been featured in a wide array of national and international books and magazines and her work has been shown in galleries across the U.S. and Europe. Hardcover, 8 1/2-in. x 11-in., 112 pages, full color. Mature Readers Cover price $22.95.

Volume 8 - 1st printing. "Book 7: Swords Against the Shadowland!" Written by Robin Wayne Bailey. Years ago, Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser turned their backs on the city of Lankhmar and the painful memories it held. But now, a deadly plague, spawned from a sorcerer's curse, sweeps through the streets of Lankhmar, eating its victims from the inside and laying waste to the once-vibrant city. The two reluctant heroes are called forth once again to face Lankhmar's winding alleys-and the old ghosts who lurk in them. After writing nearly forty stories chronicling the adventures of Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser, Fritz Leiber chose acclaimed fantasy writer Robin Wayne Bailey as his official successor. Swords Against the Shadowland marks Bailey's first foray into the rich world of Nehwon. Based on Leiber's notes and drawing heavily from the mythos he constructed, a new chapter in the lives of two of heroic fantasy's most enduring heroes begins here. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 8-in., 344 pages, Text Only. Cover price $12.95.

But it was three issues later when, from the ice of the northern Atlantic, Captain America returned from the frozen depths that the Avengers truly took form. Illustrated by Jack Kirby and Don Heck, and written by Stan "The Man" Lee, you'll find the first appearances of Kang the Conqueror, Wonder Man, the Space Phantom and Baron Zemo, the debut of the Masters of Evil and the Hulk's departure from the team and "subsequent team-up with the Sub-Mariner to take down his former comrades.
