Complete Peanuts HC Vol. 14 1977-1978
As the 1970s wind down, the last two recurring Peanuts characters have fallen into place: Snoopy's brother Spike and the youngest Van Pelt sibling, Rerun. But that doesn't mean Schulz's creativity has diminished; in fact, this volume features an amazing profusion of hilariously distinctive new one- (or two-) shot characters! For instance, in an epic five-week sequence, when Charlie Brown, found guilty by the EPA of biting the Kite-Eating tree, goes on the lam and ends up coaching the 'Goose Eggs,' a group of diminutive baseball players, Austin, Ruby, Leland, and Milo. Also: a tennis-playing Snoopy ends up reluctantly teamed with the extreme Type 'A' athlete Molly Volley… who then reappears later in the book, now facing off against her nemesis, 'Crybaby' Boobie. (Honest!) Add in Sally's new camp friend Eudora, the thuggish 'caddymaster' who shoots down Peppermint Patty and Marcie's new vocation, an entire hockey team, and a surprise repeat appearance by…….

Pogo Comp Syndicated Strips HC Vol. 03 Evidence Contrary
WALT KELLY TURNS UP THE POLITICAL HEAT IN VOLUME THREE OF THE COMPLETE POGO It's in this volume (featuring another two years' worth of Pogo strips) that we meet one of Walt Kelly's boldest political caricatures. Folks across America had little trouble equating the insidious wildcat Simple J. Malarkey with the ascendant anti-Communist senator, Joseph McCarthy. The subject was sensitive enough that by the following year a Providence, Rhode Island newspaper threatened to drop the strip if Malarkey's face were to appear in it again. Kelly's response? He had Malarkey appear again but put a bag over the character's head for his next appearance. Ergo, his face did not appear. (Typical of Kelly's layers of verbal wit, the character Malarkey was hiding from was a 'Rhode Island Red' hen, referencing both the source of his need to conceal Malarkey and the underlying political controversy.) The entirety of these sequences can be found in this book. But the Malarkey storyline is only…….

Archie Americana Series TPB Vol. 06 Best of the 40s Book 2
The frantic Forties – a time when the comic book industry was young and anything was possible. Stories from this "Golden Age" of comics had an "anything goes" quality – perhaps none more so than the freewheeling antics of Archie Andrews and his friends. An overnight sensation when he debuted in Pep Comics #22 in December of '41, Archie soon found himself starring in a number of other comics titles including Jackpot , Laugh and the self-titled Archi Comics . Filled with outrageous tales of dating woes, high school hijinx and slapstick mayhem, it wasn't long before Archie became known as "the Mirth of the Nation." Now by popular demand, we're pleased to serve up a second helping of 1940s fun and frolics for the many readers who enjoyed the original Archie Americana Series: Best of the Forties!.
