ALAN MOORE'S NIGHTJAR #1-WRAPAROUND COVER FOIL TEST-PRINT EDITION
by Antony Johnston & Max Fiumara
What makes this comic book so special is that the foil is on the wraparound cover, not the standard cover. Test prints are done by the printer to make sure that all the alignment is okay on the foil press and that the foil is adhering properly on the front cover of the comic book before they print the normal print run. These are usually created on overprinted copies of the same cover that will be foiled later on, and then discarded by the printer. There are no other foil editions of the wraparound cover. The net result is this is the rarest Nightjar comic book ever! Eighteen years ago, Mirrigan watched her father's heart explode in their back yard. That was fair, because Mirrigan's father was Emperor Of All The Birds the most powerful sorcerer in Britain and that was how they arrange their successions. But on her deathbed, Mirrigan's grandmother reveals a secret her father wasn't killed by one sorcerer, but seven and charges Mirrigan with an oath to make them pay for their treachery. If you're the latest in a line of powerful British sorcerers, avenging your father's death should be a walk in the park. Except when his murderers are even more powerful than you. Now the seven Birds have a new target... Mirrigan. Limited to 117 copies, all packaged in a bag and board with a Cerificate of Authenticity.

MAC TIN TAC GN
by Various
Mac Tin Tac, a dystopic allegory of modern life told through a unique combination of myth and hard-edged realism, was originally serialized in five comics between 1990 and 1995, but was uncollected until now. To illustrate their vision, Montreal authors Tessier and Oliver commissioned the emerging talent of Quebec's avant garde. The story is a mix of Orwell's 1984 and Gabriel Garcia Marquez's magic realism. Mac's desperate attempt to create beauty in a bleak world is the overarching theme in the book. But the dazzling variety of drawing styles keeps the reader immersed in the lives of various peripheral characters as well. Mac Tin Tac, which includes new material done especially for this edition, is an impressive cultural document from Quebec's fin-de-sičcle underground.

DF FRANK MILLER'S SIN CITY: MARV 12-INCH STATUE
Advanced solicited, shipping in March 2005. DF presents for the first time ever, a statue based on Frank Miller's Sin City! And not just any statue! Marv has been forever immortalized by master sculptor William Paquet with this piece, created exclusively for DF as the first in their line of licensed Sin City collectibles! Paquet has sculpted for DC Direct such pieces (over 40 in all) as Nightwing, The Dark Knight Returns, The Joker, The Spectre, Simon Bisley's Batman, The Dark Winter's Knight Snowglobe, and Lobo. He first worked with Frank Miller on the 10th anniversary Dark Knight Returns Statue, and won the "Wizard Fan Award" for that statue. Looking at this statue, you can almost imagine Marv pointing his gun at you, saying one of his signature lines... "That there is one damn fine coat you're wearing." Standing 12" tall, 13 1/4" wide, and 7" deep, this 'sin-ful' statue features unbelievable detail, covering Marv's body with tiny bandages, a flowing trenchcoat, a smoke clenched between his lips, and his pistol drawn! Miller expressed his enthusiasm for Paquet's rendition of his character Marv: "This was never an 'assignment' for William. This wasn't a 'job' somebody handed him. This statue 'bugged' him until he had to let it out! It's gorgeous, and inspired. Very cool."

BUDDY DOES SEATTLE GN
by Peter Bagge
Buddy Does Seattle collects the entire 'Seattle' arc from the pages of Hate, and is the first time the entire saga has appeared under one cover! Bagge more or less cemented his association with the Grunge subculture in 1992 when he devoted two issues of Hate to a story where Buddy Bradley manages his best pal Stinky's grunge band, Leonard and the Love Gods, whose original lineup included three guys named Kurt. Bagge's characters are some of the most fully realized in comics - Buddy, the slacker antihero; Valerie, Buddy's Prozac-normalized ex; Lisa, his masochistic, worm-eating latest flame; Stinky, his selfish, venereal-warted roommate; and George Cecil Hamilton III, the resident "intellectual," who sits in his room scribbling depressive arcana into his notebook - they display their emotions so openly, so helplessly, so graphically, and with such precision as they attempt to negotiate the ragged terrain of early adulthood that it would all be rather horrifying if it weren't such a riot. Bagge's cartooning aids the cause, with one of the most idiosyncratic and inspiredly elastic and cartoony drawing styles in comics history.

THE COMICS JOURNAL #264
Now revamped with more pages and higher quality reproduction! This issue features a cover interview with Ivan Brunetti (conducted by editor Gary Groth), a cartoonist known for his caustic, scabrous, and self-lacerating comic, Schizo, the cartoon collection Haw!, as well as his comics contributions to anthologies and illustration work in such magazine as Mother Jones, The Baffler, and Entertainment Weekly. Underground comics are highlighted this issue in two major features: Patrick Rosenkranz, the author of the underground comix history Rebel Visions, provides an historical profile of the major underground publishers in a long essay based on interviews with all the participants. Second, his own book comes under the knife in a series of critiques of his own history of underground comix by the underground cartoonists he covered in the book itself! Plus, TCJ's regular columns covering European comics, manga, newspaper strips, and other facets of the medium, industry commentary by Steven Grant, Dirk Deppey, and others, investigative journalism, letters, a full color reprint of a rare, archival comic from the 1950s, and a word or two about George Bush and Martin Heidegger, all in the most iconoclastic and unorthodox magazine about comics in the world.

CRUMB SKETCHBOOK VOLUME 10
R. Crumb is undoubtedly the foremost cartoonist of the latter 20th Century, and his sketchbooks - in which he has written and drawn continually from the early 1960s to present - might rank as his finest achievement. Fantagraphics is proud to present these sketchbooks, in facsimile form, as a comprehensive series of volumes that will eventually run well over 4,000 pages. Volume 10, covering mid-1975 through early 1977, is the latest, and it represents one of the more inquisitive and soul-searching periods in this phenomenal artist's life. These sketchbooks also stand as a monumental existential document. Crumb repeatedly expresses, through a variety of penetrating and coruscating visual metaphors, the central existentialist struggle: to live in the full light of consciousness with all the risk, pain and suffering that entails. Nowhere is this more apparent than in this tenth volume, which coincides with the disintegration of the late-1960s counterculture that made him famous. Like every volume in the series, though, Volume 10 offers the full panoply of a life of perceptions rendered with consummate artistry. Available in simultaneous hardcover and paperback formats.

Like his vaudevillian films with Mack Sennett, Paramount and Vitaphone, these comics captured the same spirit - Arbuckle tricks the trickster, doles out humility to the rich, and always gets the pretty girl. Also included are shorts featuring Mabel Normand, Snub Pollard, and more! With an introduction by Arbuckle documentarian Paul E. Gierucki, and cover by film lover Kim Deitch, it's like having your own festival of classic comedy shorts in one place!

"The Final Days of the Boston Strangler," which is equally a story about Sandy Fawkes, the woman who narrowly escaped being Knowles' seventeenth victim; the last story in the collection is "The Wages of Sin,"a brief manifesto on human suffering and the people and institutions that perpetuate it (priests, scientists and military, e.g.).

MAGGOTS GN
by Brian Chippendale
Brian Chippendale, a founding member of the Fort Thunder collective (which includes Brian Ralph and Mat Brinkman ), as well as a celebrated poster artist and drummer for the extremely popular noise-duo, Lightning Bolt, has spent the past several years of his life filling page after page of his journals with cryptic, frenetic, shockingly dense comics. Currently at roughly 1,500 pages, Chippendale's work flows seamlessly from fantasy to reality, until all boundaries are eradicated and the reader is, willingly or not, drawn into his waking-nightmare world. Equal parts autobiographical adventures, anarchist rants, enviro-political diatribes, sexual fantasies and oddly enough, vegan recipes, Maggots is a challenging, powerful, brilliant work that is reminiscent of Jean Genet's Our Lady of the Flowers in its sheer intensity of emotion. Maggots is a 344-page section from Chippendale's journals.
