Oz Squad: Compleat & Annotated by Steve Ahlquist

Often imitated, never duplicated, Oz Squad is the first and best comic book inspired by the classic Wizard of Oz series of books by L. Frank Baum. This collection is the first-ever edition to include every single issue, including the beloved Little Oz Squad Special. It is the ultimate collection and it comes with notes and annotations by the author, explaining some of the deeper mysteries and sillier aspects of the series. This edition features cover art by noted illustrator and Oz Historian David Lee Ingersoll. Alternately loved and reviled by fans, scrupulously researched by author Steve Ahlquist, this edition stands as the ultimate collection.

Rogue Satellite Comics by Chris Reilly and Kevin Atkinson

or the first time ever, the complete story! This edition includes the six original issues of the classic Slave Labor Graphics series, (now SLG Publishing) including two special issues, the final conclusion to the original story, and bonus new material–never before seen! Written by Chris Reilly (Punch & Judy, Strange Eggs) and drawn by Kevin Atkinson (Snarl, Planet 29, The Tick) the series hearkens back to the Golden Age of comics, when things were funny and weird, and not grim, gritty and sullen.

S.A. Bennett raves, “The Golden Age of comics is back! Grade: A”

The hook is simple: everyone knows that the character of Dracula was based on Vlad “the Impaler” Tepes. The trouble is, he never died. Hollywood, Random House, the Lugosi estate, Francis Ford Coppola, everyone owes him big time for cashing in on his likeness. Tallahassee, Florida might seem like the dumbest place to start a major lawsuit against pretty much the known world, but Vlad, an actual vampire, is more concerned with shaking things up than staying predictable. He has definite goals in mind… The Rerun of Dracula, written with the complete support of the Tepes estate, is the first true chronicle of a dynamic individual with a great mustache and a legitimate reason to sue. Ben Ohmart is the author of several biographies of voice actors, including Paul Frees and Mel Blanc, and runs the small publishing house, BearManor Media.

And coming soon… the lastest volume in our highly popular Palik series of new Jules Verne Translations – Around the World in 8- Days: The 1874 Play by Jules Verne and Adolphe d’Ennery. As I type this blog entry, the galleys are being proofed by experts in four countries and across two continents. Look for all of the skillful translations, thoughtful commentaries, historical perspectives, and timely illustrations that you’ve come to expect from this series.

Stay tuned for more details as they develop.

Cheers!

“Kane Branson, Veteran Commander of the AFP, returns to Australia from a mission in Iraq to bury his young wife, Agent Kelly Branson, who died by the hands of terrorist Ryan Holden. Attending the funeral is ex-US Marshal Reese Wade, accompanied by the ten year-old child, Leila, that Reese claims is hers and Kane’s.

“Leaving his entire family behind, Kane and his bodyguard, Hunter McLeod, set out on a mission halfway across Australia to prove that the child is not Kane’s daughter.
Kane must then rise above what life has thrown at him, all his own transgressions and be the parent he should have been… or should he stay a would-be Hell’s Angel with a license to kill?”

Literary fraud or filial devotion? This is the question at the heart of a firestorm that erupted when manuscripts and letters were discovered proving that Jules Verne’s son, Michel, significantly revised over a dozen of the stories published under his father’s name, and even originated some himself. It was a collaboration that had begun while both were still alive, and continued as Michel saw to posthumous publication many of his father’s books.

In this volume will be found two different versions of a story, as written by Jules (Pierre-Jean), and expanded by his son (into The Somber Fate of Jean Morenas)—a tale Michel even made as a movie in 1916! Also in these pages is the first English translation of a novel Jules began, Fact-Finding Mission, but which his son finished, and hitherto has been only available in the completed version by Michel Verne.

You can order the book from Amazon or from this very website. Nice cover, yes?

Ever wonder what would happen if a rather sheltered teen girl from the Bible Belt was transplanted onto the sound stage of a Hollywood teen flick? In this series of novels, Cal (short for “Calamity”) was taught (sometimes patiently, sometimes not) by a seasoned actor named Leonard Rhoads all the things one needs to know to be a professional actress. He also gave her valuable life lessons that would be crucial in years to come.
