What's New

11/03/2007: "American Update - War (inc DC's 'Big Five'), Western (inc. early 60's DC & Dell), British Classics Illustrated"

Some favourite genres updated this week with many 40+ year old items, as follows:

*War: DC’s 'Big Five', plus Capt. Storm and Weird War! New stock for all of DC’s 'Big Five' battle titles; All-American Men of War, G.I Combat, Our Army At War, Our Fighting Forces, and Star-Spangled War Stories, starring the Losers, Sgt. Rock, Balloon Buster, Enemy Ace, Unknown Soldier and many more. We also have new listings for heroic one-legged PT Boat Commander, Captain Storm (and relation to Sue and Johnny?) and an extensive update on the experimental 70’s anthology Weird War Tales, (from #6 on) meshing the war and horror genres with art by Toth, Adams and a plethora of gifted artists.

*Western: More leather-slappin’ action from DC (1st series All-Star Western, with Johnny Thunder by Gil Kane, Tomahawk (hey, it’s got horses in it, it’s a western…), and Western Comics, with Matt Savage Trail Boss), Dell’s Laramie and Bat Masterson, Marvel’s Kid Colt Outlaw, and Charlton’s Six-Gun Heroes, for a cross-section of the big companies’ diverse takes on the classic genre.

*Classics Illustrated: As regular viewers here will know, this is the one file on our site that has dual nationality, so we can keep all our Classics together. A bakers’ dozen of new British Classics this time, with popular titles such as the Time Machine, From The Earth To The Moon, Around the World In 80 Days, Buffalo Bill, the Iliad and more expanding our selection, in very affordable low-mid grades. If you’re a fan of the Classics Comics (or if you’ve got an English Lit. O-Level coming up and you’re too bone idle to read an entire book…), then this is the section for you!
