But Buffy doesn’t play by the rules, and this “higher plane” and a lifetime of happiness with Angel wasn't gonna cut it—not if she had to sacrifice her family to keep it. And now Angel has to answer for his failings as Twilight—willingly or not.

As Elric is forced to call upon Arioch, Lord of Chaos and Duke of Hell, to rescue his beloved Cymoril from Yyrkoon’s clutches, so too will fate lead him to Stormbringer—a bloodthirsty magic sword with a mind of its own—and a dimensions-spanning encounter with the Four Who Are One.

For more than three decades, best-selling author Andrew Vachss has battled the lowest bullies: child abusers. In his law practice, he’s represented children and youth exclusively. As art director for King Features for two decades, Frank Caruso has developed a style that speaks to all ages, for all ages. The two are now joining forces to attack school bullying. Universally decried, bemoaned, and condemned. And on the rise. Heart Transplant is aimed at radically changing the way we deal with this most critical issue. The anchoring essay—by clinical social worker Zak Mucha—explains in detail what the reader has experienced . . . and why that experience could change our world. Dr. Joel Dvoskin, President of the American Psychological Association’s Law Society division, says, “[T]his gripping story gives kids and grownups alike a road map to change, both for individual kids and more importantly, for the school as a community . . . This book should be required reading in every elementary school in America[.]”

Desperate and with very little time left, he’s assembled his Rokki-dan warriors—with Kagimura’s own daughter among their numbers—and he now seeks to hunt down and wipe out the Itto-ryu for good. But in his haste, will he fall for a string of traps planned by Anotsu, their devious leader? Freed and unfazed by his time in Edo’s dungeons, Manji searches for his missing limb, and a few old friends return to the pages of this action-filled, epic manga series.

GRAVEL VOL 3 : THE LAST KING OF ENGLAND TPB
(W) Warren Ellis, Mike Wolfer (A/C) Mike Wolfer
It's never a dull day, being the last king of Britain's magicians, and before this bloody day is through, Combat Magician William Gravel will be rocked to the foundations of his beliefs and powers of the occult. After his systematic and murderous elimination of the members of both the Minor Seven and the Major Seven, Gravel now stands supreme, but being the King is not as glamorous as it sounds. He's reformed the Minor Seven, filling their ranks with young, working-class occult detectives, but their powers and Gravel's own leadership skills are about to be put to the test when a twisted, demented magician who didn't make the cut decides to show Gravel the error of passing him up for selection. To complicate his life even further, the British Government is breathing heavily down Gravel's neck as the body count of innocent British citizens rises. But is Downing Street's concern solely for public safety related to Bible Jack's terrorist attacks on London, or is it something more politically-motivated? Collecting issues 15-21 of the Gravel series, this incredible and violent chapter in the Gravel saga completes the three-part story arc that began in GRAVEL VOLUME 1: BLOODY LIARS and continued in GRAVEL VOLUME 2: THE MAJOR SEVEN. Available as both a soft cover and hard cover edition, limited to 1500 copies, each with new covers by series artist Mike Wolfer.

(C) Paul Duffield [R], Matt Martin [G], Raulo Caceres [W]
Fans have demanded it, the most unprecedented and horrifying night in American history continues as the next chapter of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD is revealed at last! As thousands of anti-war protesters converge on Washington D.C. in the Spring of 1968, the violence and turbulence of the time is about to explode into an unprecedented orgy of murder never before seen on American soil. Although the media conveniently explained the tales of the dead rising to kill the living as the work of militants and anti-Vietnam War radicals, something insidious is indeed lurking in the shadows of the Nation’s capitol, and their grip on the country is about to make itself known. But with their troop numbers spread impossibly thin from both war-time service and riot control, the National Guard know that one misstep in dealing with the protesters could set off a fatal firestorm of violence during this most emotional time... And they will be woefully unprepared to defend the city from the flesh-hungry army of the undead about to descend upon them all. Written by the smash duo of Mike Wolfer and John Russo, the original film co-writer, this blood-drenched five-issue series features new artist Tomas Aira. Don’t miss all the terrifying covers, Paul (Freakangels) Duffield provides the Regular edition, Raulo (Cpt Swing) Caceres melts eyeballs with the Wraparound cover, and twisted Matt Martin splatters the Gore covers all over the page. Also, retailers can get a ultra-rare Classic B&W cover as an order incentive.

Jordan Wellington Lint, 51, is Chief Executive Officer of Lint Financial Products, a company he began serving in 1985 as assistant and advisor before working his way up its corporate ladder to record-setting innovation in the fields of finance and high-yield investment. In his seven years as the head of Lint, Jordan has grown the company from a business lender and real estate speculator to a leading provider of network financial infrastructure services, all the while positioning Lint as a model of corporate integrity and high-yield, low-risk product. Lint's vision has made him one of the most influential and widely sought-after leaders in the complex Omaha securities industry, and his fresh approach to an understanding of local problems, leadership and determination have enabled Lint to grow, outdistance and outpace its competitors. Lint graduated from UNL in 1981 with a BA in Business and briefly studied music and recording in Los Angeles before returning to his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska, where he has continued his life journey ever since. In his ongoing role as Chief Executive Officer and his dual roles as public servant and father, Lint continues to put his creative leadership and vision to work in a variety of challenging settings.

THE ACME NOVELTY LIBRARY VOLUME 19 HC
(W/A) Chris Ware
The penultimate teen issue of the ACME Novelty Library appears this autumn with a new chapter from the electrifying experimental narrative "Rusty Brown," which examines the life, work, and teaching techniques of one of its central real-life protagonists, W. K. Brown. A previously marginal figure in the world of speculative fiction, Brown's widely anthologized first story, "The Seeing Eye Dogs of Mars," garnered him instant acclaim and the coveted White Dwarf Award for Best New Writer when it first appeared in the pages of Nebulous in the late 1950s, but his star was quickly eclipsed by the rise of such talents as Anton Jones, J. Sterling Imbroglio, and others of the so-called psychovisionary movement. (Modern scholarship concedes, however, that they now owe a not inconsequential aesthetic debt to Brown.) New surprises and discoveries concerning the now legendarily reclusive and increasingly influential writer mark this nineteenth number of the ACME Novelty Library, itself a regular award-winning periodical, lauded for its clear lettering and agreeable coloring, which, as any cultured reader knows, are cornerstones of any genuinely serious literary effort. Full color, seventy-eight pages, with hardbound covers, full indicia, and glue, the ACME Novelty Library offers its readers a satisfying, if not thrilling, rocket ride into the world of unkempt imagination and pulse-pounding excitement.

(W/A) Chris Ware
Straggling behind the mild 2003 success of cartoonist Chris Ware's first facsimile collection of his miscellaneous sketches, notes, and adolescent fantasies arrives this second volume, updating weary readers with Ware's clichéd and outmoded insights from the late twentieth century. Working directly in pen and ink, watercolor, and white-out whenever he makes a mistake, Ware has cannily edited out all legally sensitive and personally incriminating material from his private journals, carefully recomposing each page to simulate the appearance of an ordered mind and established aesthetic directive. All phone numbers, references to ex-girlfriends, "false starts," and embarrassing experiments with unfamiliar drawing media have been generously excised to present the reader with the most pleasant and colorful sketchbook reading experience available. Included are Ware's frustrated doodles for his book covers, angry personal assaults on friends, half-finished comic strips, and lengthy and tiresome fulminations of personal disappointments both social and sexual, as well as his now-beloved drawings of the generally miserable inhabitants of the city of Chicago. All in all, a necessary volume for fans of fine art, water-based media, and personal diatribe. (SEP073595)

DENYS WORTMAN'S NEW YORK TP
(W/A) Denys Wortman
(E) James Sturm, Brandon Elston
A rescued archive of vintage New York from a forgotten master! After cartoonist, educator and editor James Sturm discovered the vintage book, Mopey Dick and the Duke, he set off to find more about the author, the deceased and unknown cartoonist Denys Wortman. Sturm immediately took note of the masterful drawings — casual, confident, and brimming with personality — and wondered how this cartoonist escaped his radar. After some online sleuthing, Sturm connected with Wortman's son, Denys Wortman VIII, who relayed that an archive of over 5,000 illustrations was literally sitting in his shed in dire need of rescuing. For over 35 years, the illustrations had been fighting such elements as hungry rodents, rusty paperclips and even a blizzard. Wortman VIIII also had drawers full of his father's correspondences including letters and holiday cards from William Steig and Walt Disney. Original artwork by artists and personal friends including Peggy Bacon, Milt Gross, Isabel Bishop, and Reginald Marsh were also saved. Considering that Wortman's luminary peers held him in the highest regard coupled with his artistic prowess, makes his absence from both fine art and comics history puzzling. So, Sturm and Brandon Elston set out to create a beautiful tribute to the forgotten master. Denys Wortman's New York is not only a tribute to Wortman, but it is a tribute to New York, the city that sparked Wortman's voracious creative output. From coal cellars to rooftops; from opera houses to boarding houses; Wortman recorded the sailors, dish-washers, con artists, entertainers, pushcart peddlers, construction workers, musicians, hobos, society matrons, young mothers, secretaries, and students who collectively make New York the city it is.

KRAZY AND IGNATZ: THE SKETCHBOOK STRIPS—1910-1913
by George Herriman
$75.00 / HC / 160 pgs / FC / 12 x 18
As comic strip scholars we know, George Herriman’s Krazy Kat strip debuted as a supplemental strip running beneath the Family Upstairs. What scholars are not aware of, is that as part of his process, Herriman would draw a complete, essentially finished version of each supplemental Krazy Kat in a sketchbook before carefully redrawing it for print. Thus meaning there exist “original” versions of hundred upon hundreds of Krazy Kat Strips that have never been published anywhere... until now. This perfect facsimile edition will include a supplemental booklet containing an essay on Herriman and a large sampling of the final, published strips, allowing readers to compare and contrast with the original sketchbook versions!

Eric (the guy with the fly head) is back as well as his hapless mother, the not-quite-ingénue Marie, worldly Sal, Denis the drug dealer and loopy retro bowling thug Ringo, plus several new cast members. Told through a series of seemingly unrelated short stories which eventually become intricately braided into one sprawling tale of a community haunted by obsession, rage, regret and despair — in sum a graphic novel for the 21st century.
MASCOTS
by Ray Fenwick
$22.99 / HC / 128 pgs / FC / 5 x 7.5
Mascots are exaggerated, ridiculous representatives, giving form to the abstract. They don’t give this form in a subtle way; they’re surreal magnifications, explosions of the thing they represent. The recurring characters in Mascots are like this, but so are the vignettes themselves. Each scene pushes past normal, exaggerating in order to highlight. In the world of Mascots, failure is everywhere... but so is hope transcendence and happy endings.
