Memories intrude, reminding them of a time when they worked together, nearly inciting a revolution. Are these phantom images truth, or just another implanted memory?

Exclusive CD includes: the song "This Is Not" and special interview footage of the band, all unavailable anywhere else!

DRAWN & QUARTERLY

SUMMER BLONDE HARDCOVER
by Adrian Tomine
For the first time ever, the four most recent issues of Adrian Tomine's popular series, Optic Nerve, have been collected in this striking, sharply designed new hardcover book! In these four stories, Tomine deftly explores the emotional turmoil beneath the exterior of his subjects: the title story revolves around Nessa, a beautiful young woman who finds herself besieged by the attention of three obsessive, lustful men, one of whom desires her for a menage a trois. In "Alter Ego," a washed up writer in pursuit of new material begins dating a girl who is still in high school. Next comes a lonely woman who makes hostile, prank phone calls in the perverse hope of connecting with someone - anyone - at the other end of the line. The book wraps up with the story of a class dweeb and his tense sexual initiation at the hands of a popular girl at school. This book promises to be one of the major books of the year! Two hardcover editions are being offered: Regular and Deluxe signed & numbered.

DYNAMIC FORCES

DYNAMIC FORCES WOLVERINE WEAPON X 8-INCH BUST
The Weapon X saga, as written and illustrated by Barry Windsor-Smith and presented in the pages of Marvel Comics Presents #72-84 told the tale of Wolverine's skeleton becoming laced with adamantium, and is one the defining moments in the Canadian's mysterious past! Now, inspired by those classic Windsor-Smith images, with awe-inspiring designs and sculpts by Martin Canale, the Weapon X Bust comes alive! Caught in a ferocious escape from the shattered green tube (reproduced here as childproof plastic) in which he was encased, the enraged Logan breaks free from his captors, adamantium-laced claws exposed to air for the very first time. He snarls, and makes his final escape, still covered with the probes, implants and the wiring that bound him! Measuring a full 8" high with a base that measures 6 inches wide, the Wolverine: Weapon X Bust is limited to only 1991 production units worldwide, the year the Weapon X series was told in Marvel Comics Presents!

Limited to only 1982 production units worldwide (the year Elektra shuffled off this mortal coil at the hands of the killer Bullseye), the Daredevil: Death of Elektra Statue features the Man without Fear, surrounded by the haunting burial ground, hunched in despair at the grave of his lover as the spirit of Elektra rises from the ground and ascends into the ether!

DYNAMIC FORCES EARTH X: CAPTAIN AMERICA STATUE
The soldier. The veteran. The warrior. The Captain. In the twisted and decaying world of Earth X, the Marvel Universe looks to one hero, the hero know as Cap. Scarred, demoralized, embattled he may be, but Cap still stands proud and true - the last great warrior fighting the good fight. Now, master artist Alex Ross (the creator of the Earth X Universe) has once again cast his creative eye to launch this full-size 13" tall statue atop a base measuring 6" by 9". Cap stands defiant, his body covered in scars, his forehead forever marked with the jagged "A," a battered flag covering his massive build, his trusty shield at his side, Cap stands ready for the next battle. Each of these markings and trappings has been captured by sculptors Alex Ross with Jared Shiflet and painted in the vivid detail as only Alex Ross can! Strictly limited to 1999 production units worldwide. Also available as a variant edition Bronze Painted Statue, limited to only 1941 production units (the year of Cap's debut). Allocations may occur!

Seated upon his meticulously crafted throne, everything from the wry smile on the Norse God's face - the devilish look and scheming eye as Loki toasts himself and his fiendish accomplishments - to the throne upon which he sits and the goblet he drinks from - have been recreated here by Howard Kalish from the original designs by Thor writer/artist Dan Jurgens.

Fantagraphics had a huge hit with the 1998 release of Malicious Resplendence, the ultimate collection of Robert Williams's paintings, which we're following up four years later with this equally overwhelming collection of Williams's comix and drawings. Included in this deluxe collection are all of Williams' contributions to such legendary underground anthologies as ZAP, Snatch, Arcade, Cocaine Comix, and more (much of which has been out-of-print for over 25 years). Also, the book will feature scores of never-before-published works, including the never-before-seen, full-color storyboards for a proposed animated ZAP movie, along with numerous cartoons from Williams' early years at L.A. City College. Plus, the seminal Coochy Cooty Men's Comics, dozens of examples of hot rod art done for Ed "Big Daddy" Roth's studio, and the rare, two-color strip "Yama Yama." The book features two introductions, one by Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers creator and fellow ZAP cohort, Gilbert Shelton, and the other by Williams himself, contextualizing his comix work within his better-known career as a painter.

PECULIA GN
by Richard Sala
Often compared to Edward Gorey and Charles Addams, Blab! mainstay Richard Sala has developed a distinctive narrative and visual style that can best be described as gothic humor. Possibly the closest thing to a super-hero series put out by Fantagraphics, Peculia (from the pages of his regular comic Evil Eye), has been charming readers for several years. Peculia, the intrepid heroine, is a precocious and rebellious adventurer who fearlessly wanders through a world filled with zombies, monsters, and more, assisted only by her trusty butler. In addition to collecting all the Peculia stories to date (including material from the first two out-of-print issues of Evil Eye), the Peculia collection includes a brand-new six-page, painted, full-color story in which Peculia happens upon a sinister doll shop. The Peculia collection is an excellent introduction to Richard Sala's idiosyncratic universe of noir-ish mystery, suspense, and occasional whimsy.

QUIMBY THE MOUSE TP
by Chris Ware
Cleverly appropriated old-fashioned animation imagery and advertising styles of the 1920s and 1930s are put to use in Quimby, at the service of modern vignettes of angst and existentialism. As this cartoon silhouette of a mouse ignominiously suffers at every turn, the spaces between the panels create despair and a Beckett-like rhythm of hope deceived and deferred (but never quite extinguished), buoying Quimby from page to page. Quimby is saturated with Ware's genius, including consistently amazing graphics, insanely perfectionist production values, cut-out-and-assemble paper projects, and the formal complexity of his narratives that have earned him the reputation as one of the most prodigious artists of his generation. Quimby will collect all the material from the out-of-print Acme Novelty Library #2 and #4, as well as a selection of previously uncollected strips and some new material. Available in Softcover and Hardcover editions.

SSHHHH! TP
by Jason
Entirely told in pantomime, this suite of short tales veers from the funny to the terrifying to the surreal to the touching. Like Chris Ware, Jason's clean, deadpan style (featuring animal-headed characters with mask-like faces) hides a wealth of emotion and human complexity, leavened with a wicked wit. Jason's work has also drawn comparisons to Art Spiegelman for the similar ways both artists utilize anthropomorphic stylizations to reach deeper, more general truths, and to create elegantly minimalist panels whose emotional depth-charge comes as an even greater shock. His dark wit and supremely bold use of "jump-cuts" from one scene to the next are endlessly surprising and exhilarating. Jason's first book, Hey Wait... (re-offered this month), has been a major critical and commercial success.

KNIGHTS OF THE DINNER TABLE #69
For Those About To Hack...: "All of the things I remember from my gaming days are here - the endless haggling over rules, the clumsy yet valiant implementation of new combat tables, the way players would almost supernaturally take the one route an exhausted GM hadn't mapped, and the eternal 'I change my mind' tactic when an action kills a character..." (quote from a fan) It's no wonder that Knights of the Dinner Table is the longest running comic book on the subject of games and gamers - ever. It's the principal characters - B.A., Brian, Bob, Dave, Sara and the dastardly Black Hand - playing numerous characters in their role-playing game, but their essential characteristics and hilarious interactions always shine through whatever roles they're playing. Not unlike you and your group? In addition to the comics, KoDT features articles geared to a gamer's perspective. A fantastic and hilarious slice of (fantasy) life in strips and a funny, wonderful celebration of the gaming culture!

THE OSS IN WW2 #1
by Ron Ledwell
The debut issue of this new series focuses on the exciting exploits of the legendary Office of Strategic Services (O.S.S.), during the Second World War. This top-secret American military force was the predecessor for the CIA and for elite special operations units like the modern day Navy Seals and Army Rangers. OSS forces engaged in hair-raisingly dangerous campaigns against the Nazi and Axis forces; often going in before the regular military units to scout the front, to glean vital intelligence, and to cripple the enemy defenses with sabotage. If you like stories of espionage and daring-do behind-the-lines World War II action, then this is the comic for you!

A 14-year-old cosmic prophecy, Carter Chan, who is biblically hailed as "The Last Dragon Scout, Protector of the 9th Column," finds himself in a new city with his somewhat accident-prone DragonProtect, Bowbalee the Magnifique. Carter needs to keep a low profile until his tremendous PowerViscos matures, but he still manages to find himself in confrontation with city bullies, outer-galactic death warriors, and overzealous local law enforcement officers!
