of space pirate Nebula...who plans to conquer the Skrull Galaxy,
and who just might be the granddaughter of Thanos himself! If Cap's
teammates back on Earth can topple the towering Terminus in the Savage
Land, they'll be drawn into Nebula's interstellar conflict...but this
time, the Avengers will fight on the side of the Skrulls! Get ready for a
cosmic classic as the flame-haired Firelord and the all-mighty Beyonder

curiosity about their world! On their travels, Devil and Moon Boy are
beset by dinosaurs of all shapes and sizes, from triceratops and
pterodactyls to tyrannosaurus rex...not to mention giant spiders, armies
of enormous ants, and even aliens from outer space! And don't forget
the Small Folk, led by the warlord Seven Scars, who rejected Moon Boy
for befriending the fearsome Devil and who aim to dominate the forest by

Archie: The Swingin' Sixties - The Complete Daily Newspaper Comics (1963-1965)
Continuing our Eisner Award-winning series collecting the Archie
newspaper strip, we reach the mid-1960s when the now-famous cast of
Archie, Jughead, Betty, Veronica, and Reggie are part of a rich ensemble
presented by cartoonist Bob Montana. In addition to Fred and Mary
Andrews (Archie's mom and pop) and Veronica's father, Mr. Lodge, Montana
weaves gags around the entire staff of Riverdale High, including Mr.
Weatherbee, Miss Grundy, Mr. Flutesnoot, Miss Shapely, and Miss Beazly,
among others. As Bart Beaty notes, "The strip is not so much about
Archie as it is about the interaction of all those characters who exist
in his orbit. The relatively large cast is particularly suited to the
gag-a-day format." Includes more than 800 comics from April 1963
through the end of 1965.

puppy! The Complete Peanuts offers a unique chance to see a
master of the art form refine his skills and solidify his universe, day
by day. This volume is rounded out with Garrison Keillor’s introduction,
a biographical essay by David Michaelis (Schulz and Peanuts) and an in-depth interview with Schulz conducted in 1987 by Gary Groth and Rick Marschall. Black and white with spot color

double-crosses in this land of many secrets. But once you do catch a
unicorn, what, exactly, do you do with him? Then, in a trio of frigid
challenges — “Luck of the North,” “Land of the Totem Poles,” and “Serum
to Codfish Cove” — the Ducks must face the perils of the north. Each
