    Astro City Life in the Big City TPB (2011 DC) New Edition 1-1ST

    New Edition - 1st printing. Collects Astro City (1995 1st Series) #1-6.

    Written by Kurt Busiek. Art by Brent Anderson. Cover by Alex Ross.

    The original ASTRO CITY miniseries is back in a new edition, simultaneously available in hardcover and trade paperback with new cover art by Alex Ross!

    Welcome to Astro City, a shining city on a hill where super heroes patrol the skies. Each chapter in this collection is a stand-alone story highlighting different aspects or characters in the Astro City world. The city's leading super hero tries to be everywhere at once, and berates himself for every wasted second as he longs for just a moment of his own. A small-time hood learns a hero's secret identity and tries to figure out how to profit from the knowledge. A beat reporter gets some advice from his editor on his first day on the job. A young woman tries to balance the demands of her family with her own hopes and desires.

    Despite the fantastic settings, the characters in these slice-of-life stories feel like real people, and that gives the stories real power.

    Darkness Falls: The Tooth Fairy - The Tragic Life of Matilda 1

    By JOE HARRIS and CHARLIE ADLARD Dark Horse Comics is proud to publish the comic book prequel to this fall's horror film hit-in-the-making! The Tooth Fairy: The Tragic Life of Matilda Dixon serves as a prologue to the film, recounting the century-old events that set a horrifying cycle of violence in motion. The movie stars Emma Caulfield (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and is slated for January 2003 release. The comic book is written by Joe Harris (X-Men) and drawn by Charlie Adlard (The X-Files). The comic focuses on a defining moment in the history of Port Fairy, a small fishing village. Matilda Dixon, a once-beautiful, now-disfigured widow has developed a special relationship with the children of Port Fairy. They bring her their recently shed baby teeth in exchange for coins. However, the mask-clad Dixon's familiarity with the town's children alarms their parents, and when two children go missing a lynch mob gathers to make Matilda pay... In The Tooth Fairy: The Tragic Life of Matilda Dixon, Joe Harris and Charlie Adlard have crafted a horrifying yet heartbreaking tale of loss and loneliness. The claustrophobic small-mindedness of Port Fairy conjures up images of the Salem witch trials and the tragic ending of the book sets the stage for the vengeance and neo-gothic horror of the upcoming Tooth Fairy film. On sale January 1 FC, 32pg (one-shot) . . . $2.99 Cover price $2.99.

    1st printing.

    By Gle Cadigan. Art and cover by Dave Cockrum. Introduction by Alex Ross.

    From the letters pages of Silver Age comics to his 2021 induction into the Will Eisner Hall of Fame, the career of Dave Cockrum started at the bottom and then rose to the top of the comic book industry.

    Beginning with his childhood obsession with comics and continuing through his years in the Navy, The Life and Art of Dave Cockrum follows the rising star from fandom (where he was one of the "Big Three" fanzine artists) to pro-dom, where he helped revive two struggling comic book franchises: the Legion of Super-Heroes and the X-Men. A prolific costume designer and character creator, his redesigns of the Legion and his introduction of X-Men characters Storm, Nightcrawler, Colossus, and Thunderbird (plus his design of Wolverine's alter ego, Logan) laid the foundation for both titles to become best-sellers. His later work on his own property, The Futurians, as well as childhood favorite Blackhawk and T.H.U.N.D.E.R Agents, plus his five years on Soulsearchers and Company, cemented his position as an industry giant.

    Featuring artwork from fanzines, unused character designs, and other rare material, this is THE comprehensive biography of the legendary comic book artist, whose influence is still felt on the industry today! Written by Glen Cadigan (The Legion Companion, The Titans Companion Volumes 1 and 2, Best of the Legion Outpost) with an introduction by Alex Ross.

    By Linda H. Davis.

    The Addams Family is creepy and kooky, but believe it or not, the real Addams family was even more strange and outrageous than the beloved comic's characters.

    In Charles Addams: A Cartoonist's Life, meet the legendary cartoonist behind the altogether ooky Addams Family in this first biographical exposé, written with exclusive access to Charles' Addams' private archives. Take a front-row seat to the widespread rumors and storytelling genius behind one of America's oddest and most iconic creators. Even as The Addams Family grew in fame, the life of Charles Addams remained shrouded in mystery. Did he really sleep in a coffin and drink martinis garnished with eyeballs? In reality, Addams himself was charismatic and spellbinding as the characters he created. Discover the real stories behind Addams' most famous, and most private drawings, including the cartoon that offended the Nazis. From his dazzling love for sports cars and beautiful women-Jackie Kennedy and Joan Fontaine among them-to the darkest relationship of his life, this witty book reveals Addams' life as never before.

    With rare family photographs, classic and previously unpublished cartoons, and private drawings accompanying this portrait of Charles Addams, Linda H. Davis provides a fascinating journey into the life of a beloved American icon.

Desperate times call for desperate measures and Rocko will do whatever it takes to win back his best bud's affection, even if it means breaking the law or facing childhood bullies at his high school reunion.

But even in the midst of this techno-utopia, there's something not quite right with Rocko's fellow citizens. While Rocko takes two weeks to chill and unplug from technology, the rest of the town seems to be going mad. When danger comes knocking at his door, the newly zen wallaby will have to choose whether to stay barricaded within his home or venture forth into a wasteland of mindless citizens.
