Love comic books issue 1

1st printing.

By Robin Maxwell.

The legendary story of Tarzan told from Jane's perspective, timed for the centennial of the original publication of Tarzan of the Apes.

Jane Porter is hardly a typical woman of her time. The only female student in Cambridge University's medical program, she is far more comfortable in a lab coat, dissecting corpses, than she is in a corset and gown sipping afternoon tea. When dashing American explorer Ral Conrath invites Jane and her father on an expedition deep into West Africa, she can hardly believe her luck. Rising to the challenge, Jane finds an Africa that is every bit as beautiful and fascinating as she has always imagined.

When danger strikes, Jane finds her hero, the key to humanity's past, and an all-consuming love in one extraordinary man: Tarzan of the Apes.

1st printing. Written by C.J. Henderson. Art by Jaime Calderon. Carl Kolchak has seen it all, from vampires and zombies to witches, ghosts, and even the minions of Hell, itself. By rights, nothing should shake this indominable reporter anymore. But, when he starts to follow the trail begun by the photographing of a strange sea creature, one more reminiscent of the creature from the black lagoon than a shark or tuna, he suddenly finds himself being drawn into a nightmare world so fantastic, so utterly alien and frighteningly dark that even his massive psychic defenses begin to crumble. For once, Kolchak isn't just following a story; he isn't merely uncovering yet another monster a step or two up from a serial killer. This time he's crossing the threshold into another reality, one which could possibly destroy both his mind, and the entire world! Softcover, full color. Cover price $12.95.

1st printing. When Fantagraphics launched its collection of Krazy Kat Sunday strips back in 2002, we picked up with the 10th and 11th years of the legendary strip (1925-1926) because another publisher had already collected the first nine during the 1980s and 1990s. But now, with that publisher long gone and their Krazy Kat collections fetching record prices (some over $100!) among collectors, it's time to go back and get every one of these masterpieces back in print - re-scanned and re-retouched from original tearsheets, using 21st century digital resources. Fantagraphics will be collecting these first nine years of Sundays into three volumes comprising three years apiece, starting with the very first Sundays from 1916 through 1918, and incorporating all the added features from the first edition. Krazy Kat, with its eternally beguiling love triangle of kat/dog/mouse, its fantastically inventive language, and its haunting, minimalist desert décor, has consistently been rated the best comic strip ever created. Krazy and Ignatz 1916-1918, the 11th of a projected 13 volumes collecting the entirety of the Sundays, brings us within a brick's throw of finishing "The Komplete Kat Sundays" once and for all! Softcover, 9-in. x 12-in., 176 pages, full color. Cover price $24.99.

1st printing. This volume is the third in a long-term plan to chronologically reprint strips from the prime of Herriman's career, most of which have not seen print since originally running in newspapers 75 years ago. Each volume is edited by the San Francisco Cartoon Art Museum's Bill Blackbeard, the world's foremost authority on early 20th Century American comic strips, and designed by Jimmy Corrigan author Chris Ware, who may well go down as the best cartoonist of the 21st Century. In addition to the 104 full-page black-and-white Sunday strips from 1929 and 1930 (Herriman did not use color until 1935), the book includes an introduction by Blackbeard and reproductions of rare Herriman ephemera from Ware's own extensive collection, as well as annotations and other notes by Ware and Blackbeard. Softcover, 9-in. x 11 1/2-in., 120 pages, B&W. Cover price $14.95.

Story and art by Rich Sparks.

The world can always use a laugh. But today, the world could really use these laughs in this collection of comic strips and panel cartoons.

Love and Other Weird Things is a cartoon collection by the soon-to-be-household-name-if-there's-any-justice-in-the-world Rich Sparks. The cast of characters seems innocuous enough: foul-mouthed animals, Paul Bunyan, Smokey the Bear, stout men in tighty-whities. But the situations give Monty Python a run for their money. And the juxtapositions-good heavens! Sparks has been published in the New Yorker, the Wall Street Journal, and many other publications.

Now, he breaks out on his own with approximately 150 bizarre but sweet(ish)-but, no, seriously, really bizarre-but also really funny cartoons.
