Tons of stuff in this week's regular American update, in the following categories (full details as always in the online catalogue):

*DC: A choice selection of cult DC titles: the 1970s All-Star Comics revival, which returned the JSA to greatness under the hands of Paul Levitz and Wally Wood; 'The World's Strangest Heroes', the Doom Patrol, outcasts fighting for justice and acceptance, and new additions to our stock of inept but charming Inferior Five and the scarce Mike Sekowsky Wonder Woman run.

*Horror/Mystery 1960-1980s: A heap of horrific happenings from the annals of DC, with all the key titles - Ghosts, House of Mystery, House of Secrets, Unexpected and Witching Hour - represented, in addition to lesser known series like Secrets of Sinister House, Forbidden Tales of Dark Mansion and Weird Mystery Tales. All in 'spookily' high grades, so you can keep 'em in your crypt forever...

*Romance: Grab your hankies for another trip on the love barge of Golden Age romance! We have ACG, Atlas, Quality, St John and Charlton romances to tickle your tearducts, with famous titles like Confessions of the Lovelorn, Forbidden Love, True Life Secrets & My Romantic Adventures - everything to help you explore the more bizarre outskirts of the romance genre. 'Heart of a Drunkard' anyone?

*Western: A quartet of strangeness and charm from the old corral. The strangely infamous Bobby Benson's B-Bar-B Riders #14, with our wholesome juvenile hero getting involved in bondage/woman in peril/torture hijinks (guest-starring Ghost Rider!); Avon's Cowpuncher, a scarce and sought-after good girl cover series; Dell's Wagon Train, early Four Color photo cover; and 'The Lone Ranger's Famous Horse Hi-Yo Silver' (the full official title) with our hero's horse in untold tales of his colthood adventures. Good horse art (!).

We're too good to you...
