"Boots in Love's Labor Lost" - This item is an 8-Pager, commonly known as a Tijuana Bible; most were published ca. 1920s-1940s. The artists, writers, and publishers of these booklets are generally unknown. Most 8-Pagers are humorous takes on newspaper comic strip characters, movie stars, and political figures of the time, usually in sexually explicit situations, and invariably produced without permission or respect for copyright. These are timeless pieces of American comic sub-culture and are often considered the precursor to the underground comics created by the likes of Robert Crumb and Gilbert Shelton. Due to the circumstances in which these items were originally created, it is virtually impossible to determine edition and printing, although modern era reprints are usually easily identifiable. We will note these differences to the best of our ability. Not available for international sale. You must be 18 or older to order this item. Stapled pages, 3 1/2-in. x 2 1/2-in., 8 pages, single ink color.

1st printing. By H. P. Lovecraft. H. P. Lovecrafts fiction reveals a universe that is vaster, darker, and stranger than anything previously imagined. His cosmic horror reflects a peculiarly modern philosophical belief system in which human beings are regarded as insignificant in light of the vastness of time and space. The especially Lovecraftian twist on this apocalyptic premise is that it is alien forces and powers at work in the universe that possess the potential for the ultimate destruction of mankind. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 8-in., 464 pages. Text Only. Cover price $12.95.

1st printing.

Based on the story by H.P. Lovecraft. Adapted by Michael Zigerlig.

Staying true to Lovecraft's original work, Swiss writer/artist Michael Zigerlig narrates the tale with the original prose of three points of view describing the horror of Cthullu. Generally regarded as Lovecraft's masterpiece, this tale influenced generations to come. H.R. Giger, famed biomechanical artist and creator of the look of Alien, provides the introduction.

1st printing. By Liza Donnell and Michael Maslin. What happens when two cartoonists for The New Yorker fall in love and marry? Lots of witty wordplay, skewering drawings, and a healthy dose of illustrative competition. For twenty years, veteran cartoonists Liza Donnelly and Michael Maslin have been exploring in their work the ins and outs of marriage. From whimsical and wacky to risqué and barbed, their humor allows us to laugh at our follies and foibles and the insanity that is inherent in the day-to-day workings of every marriage. From meeting, wooing, and dating to marrying, divorcing, and remarrying, from having sex to having kids, the course of true love never runs smooth–but its excellent fodder for talented humorists. Here, Donnelly and Maslin offer a his-and-hers view of marriage, a cartoon conversation about all that love entails. From the wedding day (And do you, Louise, take Jack to be your husband until really, really pissed-off do you part?) to cohabitation (And this is where I go to escape from where I go to escape) to parenting (Dad says its all right with him if I watch TV as long as its not all right with you), husband and wife give us hilarious insights into the way relationships work. Cartoon Marriage shares clever takes on male/female communication (You could at least acknowledge the fact that Im ignoring you) and renovation (Ive made a few improvements, but the way you see him now is pretty much the way I found Harold eleven years ago). And of course, what view of marriage would be complete without a trip to the bedroom: Owen, look, the good-sex fairy. Featuring more than two hundred hilarious cartoons, Cartoon Marriage is a deliciously witty true-to-life look at matrimony, children, happiness, connubial squabbling, and everything in between. Hardcover, 8 1/2-in. x 8 1/2-in., 280 pages, B&W. Cover price $24.00.

Written by Crystal Fraiser. Art and cover by Val Wise.

Annie is a smart, antisocial lesbian starting her senior year of high school who's under pressure to join the cheerleading squad to make friends and round out her college applications.

Her former friend Bebe is a people-pleaser, a trans girl who must keep her parents happy with her grades and social life in order to maintain their support of her transition.

Through the rigors of squad training and amped-up social pressures (not to mention microaggressions and other queer youth problems), the two girls rekindle a friendship they thought they'd lost and discover there may be other, sweeter feelings springing up between them.

Written by Mario Hernandez. Art and cover by Gilbert Hernandez.

This comics omnibus includes the graphic novels Julio's Day and The Children of Palomar, as well as never-before-collected work by brothers Mario and Gilbert Hernandez, some of which has never been available since its early 2000s run in comic book single issues.

Children of Palomar and Other Tales (the fifteenth volume in our Complete Love and Rockets Library omnibuses and the eighth Gilbert volume) begins with "Me for the Unknown," uncollected since its original 2001-2004 run in Love and Rockets Vol. II comic books.

Written by Mario Hernandez and drawn by Gilbert Hernandez, it traces the Rabelaisian journey of Tagg Lillard. A U.S. citizen with a seemingly perfect life working in Latin America, he escapes a death trap clutching important papers, and an imperious CEO and his manservant pursue him through a land plagued by colonialist/corporate greed. Also collected: one of their joints from 2008, "Chiro el Indio." In The Children of Palomar suite of short stories (2006-2007; collected in 2013), there are many mysterious visitors, an apparition that haunts childless women, and readers learn how Chelo lost her eye. And in Julio's Day, which originally ran from 2001-2008 and was collected in 2013, a man's life-threaded with war, loss, illness, and forbidden love-spans a century.

Children of Palomar and Other Tales: A Love and Rockets Book is part of the Love and Rockets series.

1st Edition - 1st printing.

By David Icke.

Who are the Children of the Matrix? We are. All of us.

How an interdimensional race has controlled the world for thousands of years - and still does.

We are born into a world controlled by unseen forces that have plagued and manipulated humanity for thousands of years.

No, this is no script from a Hollywood movie. It is happening to you NOW. You may look around and think that what you see is real. But in truth you are living in an illusion - an illusion designed to keep you in a mental, emotional, and spiritual prison cell. David Icke exposes these forces and their methods of human control and he reveals a fantastic web of global manipulation, orchestrated by forces beyond this physical realm. He exposes the hidden bloodlines, through which other-dimensional entities live and operate unseen among us; and he shows how the bloodlines of the royal, political, and economic rulers of today are the same as those who ruled as the kings and queens of ancient times. Icke takes the story on from his highly acclaimed And The Truth Shall Set You Free and The Biggest Secret, and he lifts still further the veil of secrecy that has maintained humanity in manipulated ignorance for so long.

The truth is not only out there. Much of it is right here. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 450 pages, Text.

Written by Kevin Haworth. Art and cover by Rutu Modan.

The first in-depth study of acclaimed work by a pioneer of Israeli comics.
