Bob Powell's Terror: The Chilling Archives of Horror Comics Volume 2
Craig Yoe, Bob Powell (w) * Bob Powell (a & c)
Cult-favorite Bob Powell was a master 1950s horror cartoonist delineating some of the most imaginative and incredibly drawn comics in the genre. His terrifying ghouls were as gruesome as his tantalizing girls were gorgeous! The introduction is by Eisner winner Craig Yoe and details Powell's comics career with extensive and revealing quotes from a recently discovered manuscript about his work penned by Powell himself. The front matter is profusely illustrated with rare ephemera and flawless reproductions of Powell's original art. Bob Powell's Terror prints a generous amount of horror comic stories carefully scanned and reproduced from vintage horror-era comics, many of them quite rare and expensive -- if you could even find them! This beautifully designed 148-page library-quality full-color hardback book is volume two in The Chilling Archives of Horror Comics series.
DOCTOR WHO DAVE GIBBONS COLLECTION
Pat Mills, Steve Moore, Steve Parkhouse, John Wagner (w) * Dave Gibbons (a & c)
Industry legend Dave Gibbons illustrated a classic run of Doctor Who comics, and this oversized, hardcover book collects them all for the first time! And in full color! Gibbons-drawn strips began appearing in the very first issue of Doctor Who Magazine (then titled Doctor Who Weekly), starring the Fourth Doctor as portrayed by Tom Baker, and Gibbons continued as the primary artist until issue #69, a Fifth Doctor tale.
WALLY WOOD EC STORIES ARTIST EDITION
Wally Wood (a & c)
The third IDWArtist's Edition (Following Dave Steven's Rocketeer and Walter Simonson's Thor) focuses on one of the all time greatest comic book artists, and at the absolute peak of his creative powers: Wally Wood. EC Comics was quite likely the finest comics line ever produced, and Wally Wood was one of their mainstays who set an incredibly high artistic standard. This volume will contain a wonderful selection of stories in original art form by Wood, including: MY WORLD, CAME THE DAWN, MARS IS HEAVEN, HE WALKED AMONG US, and more. Additionally, there will be a fantastic cover gallery section by Wood. If you've never seen Wood original art, you've never seen Wally Wood! NOTE: Artist's Editions are printed the same size as the original art. The art from this book was drawn in the 1950s, at a time when original art was produced "TWICE UP" (meaning twice printed size), as opposed to today's one and a half up (50% larger than printed size). So this Artist's Edition will measure an INSANE 15" x 22!"
SKY MASTERS VOL. 1
(W/A) Jack Kirby (A) Wally Wood, Dick Ayers
Kirby's classic newspaper strip, inked by Wally Wood and Dick Ayers, was produced shortly before he invented the Marvel Universe and its breathtaking artwork shows the shape of things to come. Over two hundred daily strips are collected again for the first time in over a decade. A must-have for Kirby and Wood collectors. Introduction by comics historian Greg Theakston.
WALLY WOOD STRANGE WORLDS OF SCIENCE FICTION

Tales from the Crypt and Weird Science publisher Bill Gaines called Daredevil, THUNDER Agents, and Mars Attacks co-creator, Wally Wood "the greatest Science Fiction artist of all time."

SOMEDAY FUNNIES
(E) Michel Choquette
The Someday Funnies is the long-awaited collection of comic strips created in the early 1970s by world-famous artists and writers such as C. C. Beck, Rene Goscinny, Harvey Kurtzman, Jack Kirby, Moebius, Art Spiegelman, and Gahan Wilson. What started out as a special insert for Rolling Stone took on a life of its own as writer/editor Michel Choquette traveled the world, commissioning this visual chronicle of the 1960s, only to find himself without a publishing partner or the financial support to continue. Forty years later, readers finally get to experience this legendary anthology as Choquette celebrates the birth, death, and resurrection of The Someday Funnies -- 129 previously unpublished strips by 169 writers and artists.
WILL EISNER CONVERSATIONS
(E) M. Thomas Inge
Will Eisner's innovations in the comics, especially the comic book and the graphic novel, as well as his devotion to comics analysis, make him one of comics' first true auteurs and the cartoonist so revered and influential that cartooning's highest honor is named after him. Will Eisner: Conversations collects the best interviews with Eisner from 1965 to 2004. Taken together, the interviews cover the breadth of Eisner's career with in-depth information about his creation of The Spirit and other well-known comic book characters, his devotion to the educational uses of the comics medium, and his contributions to the development of the graphic novel.
