Few creators
have left their mark like the inimitable Steve Ditko. His unmistakable
creative vision brought the world the Amazing Spider-Man, Doctor Strange
-- and, in 1988, Speedball! Together with writers Roger Stern, Tom
DeFalco and Jo Duffy, Ditko crafted the adventures of Robbie Baldwin, a
high school student with strange other-dimensional powers that create an
energetic kinetic field, transforming him into Speedball! In the
classic Ditko style, Baldwin's life is complicated -- his father is a
district attorney with no love for costumed vigilantes, and there is
serious marital strife between Robbie's parents. This complete
collection brings together every Steve Ditko tale of the future New
Warriors superstar for the first time! Collecting SPEEDBALL #1-10 and

As a famed hero of the mystery novels by Earl Derr Biggers, Inspector Charlie Chan reached even greater heights in a series of popular movies. As actor Sidney Toler was preparing to replace Warner Oland as the wily police detective in 1938, Alfred Andriola was tapped to create a newspaper strip version of the character. The pride of the Honolulu Police Department uses his intellect more than his fists to solve cases of international intrigue, and the syndicate's initial promotion called Charlie Chan "a new mystery strip, totally devoid of guns and gangsters" to separate it from Dick Tracy and his many hard-boiled imitators. Featuring the first complete year of daily strips, from October 1938 to November 1939, this volume offers readers exciting adventures, snappy dialogue, and arresting art. A key early work from the creator of the long-running detective series Kerry Drake presented in a format that is as close as one can get to experiencing it as a daily comic.
As part of the tremendous fun of Silver Age comics, artists created
pin-ups of the most popular Marvel heroes and villains! Now the greatest
of those works of art are gathered for the first time in a beautiful
large-format hardback book! Included are rare examples of original art
of The Thing, Spider-Man, and Dr. Strange.

Avenger gadgets to allay suspicion -- or will hyper-lucky Gladstone
Gander make things even worse? (Oh, yes, you know he will!)
