The inside is just the words PROMISE, LIE, and SMILE reprinted in big letters, one to the page in huge letters, so people can easily see what you’re reading.

Trypto the Acid Dog

by Bill Mumy, Miguel Ferrer, and Steve Leialoha

What do you get when two well-respected actors and long-time musical collaborators team up with an Eisner Award-winning artist to chronicle the life of a dog of vengeance?

You get something odd, something edgy, something unique. You get Trypto, the Acid Dog. Born of water, born of fire, born of blood, born of acid, Trypto is unlike other dogs. In this series of offbeat tales, the canine avenger fights against those who would abuse Mother Earth and her creatures.

Produced over the course of a decade, the complete run of Trypto stories is brought together for the first time in this 25th anniversary collection.

The Misadventures of Prince Ivan

From Diane Duane, the best-selling creator of the Young Wizards books and Sherlock, the Hugo Award-nominated artist, comes this hilarious graphic novel of fairy tales gone wrong… now in a larger edition.

Once upon a time, there lived a prince…

…but not your ordinary prince with some run-of-the-mill royal destiny. When Ivan’s three sisters are married off to enchanted princes and he goes off in search of his own true love, he finds himself matched up with the sorceress and warrior maiden Marya Morevna, fairest princess in all the Russias. Shortly the two of them are navigating the emotional “white water” of one of the world’s more traumatic fairy tales — but not without help, not without high hopes of a happy ending, and not without a lot of funny stuff along the way. Prepare yourself to make the acquaintance of the Little Humbacked Horse, who just can’t get enough junk food… the Raven Prince who knows the ins and outs of the world’s strangest military equipment catalog… the terrible secret in the cellar of Marya Morevna’s palace… a whole heap of the most opinionated talking animals you’ll ever meet… all ending up in the world’s biggest fairy tale smackdown!

Confessions of a Rain God

by Robert Mayer

A droll comedy/drama about love and the gods, Confessions of a Rain God is set among the classic Mayas. They, of course, did not predict the end of the world. (It caught them

by surprise.) The book is narrated by the Mayan rain god Chac — long-nosed and elderly — the most important god of the Mayas, who depend on his rain for their very lives. Chac has the misfortune to fall in love with a beautiful young Maya girl, Tika. But physical love between a god and a mortal is forbidden, causing no end of frustration for the droll old fellow. How he copes — and fails to cope — is a bawdy, romantic tale of love and blood, which gives a new twist to the questionable saying, Love Conquers All.

It’s Only a Game – Color Edition

by Charles M. Schulz with Jim Sasseville

In the late 1950s, amidst the surging popularity of Peanuts and during a strongly creative period, Charles M. Schulz created his only other syndicated newspaper comic. It’s Only a Game focused on the fun and foibles of people and their pastimes. Schulz targets those who play bridge and those who bowl, little leaguers and horse track regulars, those who rush across the gridiron and those who hunch over the chessboard. This full-color collection offers up the series in its full Sunday format. Commentary and insight are provided by artist and cartoonist Jim Sasseville, who worked with Schulz on the feature.

To facilitate the best display of the art, this book is in a special format: the pages flip up like a calendar, rather than to the left like a regular book. For those readers used to the Sunday newspaper funnies, this makes for a familiar and comfortable reading experience.

The Most Adjective Romance Comics Ever!

conceived by Nat Gertler

The Most ADJECTIVE Romance Comics Ever is a great new creative comical comics game! By adding words (an ADJECTIVE here, a NOUN there, perhaps a BODY PART) to the dialog of a classic comic book romance story you haven’t seen, you create some of the wackiest comics ever. Each one-to-three page comic book story has plenty of these marked blanks for you to fill in.

PLAYING WITH FRIENDS: One player reads off the word type noted in each blank (“Okay, I need an adverb… now a number… now a movie star…”) and fills in the answers that the other players call out. In a few minutes, you have a completed story for all to share and enjoy!

PLAYING SOLO: In the back of the book, there’s a form sheet for each story with all of the word types listed. That way, you can choose your own words without seeing where they go, then copy them into the story to see the hilarious results!

(The form is also good for playing with someone else when you have to do so in a quiet environment. By passing the form to your friend to fill out, the other folks in the monastery won’t be disturbed… assuming you can suppress the giggles from reading the results.)
