The Complete C Comics
In the mid-1960s, legendary artist and writer Joe Brainard (I Remember) teamed with poets such as John Ashbery, Frank O'Hara, Barbara Guest, Ron Padgett, Kenneth Koch, Ted Berrigan, and many more for these pioneering collaborative comic strips--unavailable for decades and collected here for the first time. "PEOPLE OF THE WORLD... RELAX!" In the creative hotbed of 1960s New York, Joe Brainard was a whirlwind. He was a maker of paintings, assemblages, collages, book covers, poetry-reading flyers, and more. But some of his most exciting work was done with his friends. In 1964, the twenty-two-year-old Brainard turned his talents to rewiring the lowly comic book form into something new and surprising. He invited his friends Frank O'Hara, Ted Berrigan, John Ashbery, Kenneth Koch, Peter Schjeldahl, Barbara Guest, Ron Padgett, and others--all of them New York School poets--to collaborate with him on comics that they would write and he would draw. The results were unlike any comics seen before. Previously available only on the rare-book market (at very high prices) but available here under one cover for the first time, the two issues of C Comics still feel as fresh as when the first page rolled off the mimeograph machine more than sixty years ago. Brainard's energetic line and joyful humor charge across every page, illustrating O'Hara's recasting of a cowboy as a mash-note-writing lover, Padgett's experiments with traditional cartoon sound effects (ROAR! GRRR! SKREE!), cameos by Ernie Bushmiller's Nancy, and heaps of Dadaesque delights. This edition includes a foreword from Padgett and an essay by comics historian Bill Kartalopolous, who details the creation (and creators) of C Comics. A masterpiece of collaboration and spontaneity, C Comics is a testament to the vastness of Brainard's creativity and his ability to push any artistic form in a new and powerful direction.

Hitman by Garth Ennis and John McCrea Omnibus Vol. 2
The quintessential DC Comics work of Preacher co-creator Garth Ennis and his frequent collaborator John McCrea concludes in this second omnibus collection of their irreverent classic Hitman! While writer Garth Ennis and artist Steve Dillon were changing the creator-owned comics game in the mid-1990s with DC Vertigo series Preacher, Ennis also put his sardonic stamp on superheroes with Hitman, teaming with acclaimed artist John McCrea to introduce superpowered ex-military operative Tommy Monaghan, who used his X-ray vision and telepathy as a hired gun on the streets of Gotham. Hitman stands as one of the most unique and beloved comics of its era, and this omnibus volume features the second half of the ongoing series, along with a comprehensive collection of spin-offs and related stories--including Hitman's encounters with the Justice League and Lobo, plus subsequent sequels All-Star Section Eight and Sixpack and Dogwelder: Hard-Travelin' Heroz. Alongside the initial Hitman omnibus, readers can enjoy the complete collection of Ennis and McCrea's bloody, cynical, hilarious, and heartwarming epic! This volume collects Hitman #34-60, Hitman/Lobo: That Stupid Bastich #1, Superman 80-Page Giant #1, Justice League/Hitman #1-2, Convergence: Harley Quinn #2, All-Star Section Eight #1-6, Sixpack and Dogwelder: Hard Travelin' Heroz #1-6 and DC: The Doomed and the Damned #1.
Dear Demon King
An island of gemstones and magical beasts floats in the sky...On this island lives a kind and powerful demon king, Kougyoku. Some forty years ago, Kougyoku used his magic to restore a stillborn griffin egg to life, and that griffin became his dearest companion, Topaz. In the years that followed, Topaz found that his love for Kougyoku had grown into something deeper than that of a beast's love for his king... and unbeknownst to him, Kougyoku had begun to feel the same. Now, as Kougyoku struggles to summon the magic needed to restore his island, he is torn between his love for Topaz and his duty as king. And as his beloved finds himself faced with an impossible decision, Topaz is left with no choice but to decide their fates for him, even should it break his king's heart...!
