Amazing Spider-Man Epic Collection: Great ResponsibilityStan Lee and Steve Ditko created an unabashed cultural phenomenon in The
Amazing Spider-Man. Their pitch-perfect blend of Peter Parker's

unleashed the definitive Spider-Man masterpiece - the Master Planner
saga. Putting Spider-Man through the most wrenching experience of his
career, Lee and Ditko defined the spirit of a hero that has inspired
millions. This Epic Collection has that and so much more in store: the
fi rst appearance of Gwen Stacy, Peter Parker's high school graduation
and landmark fights with the Green Goblin.

The Flash by Mark Waid Book 1
Superstar writer Mark Waid's run on THE FLASH is now re-collected in a
new series of graphic novels, beginning with THE FLASH BY MARK WAID BOOK
ONE!
When Wally West, the adolescent nephew of the Flash's
fiancée, accidentally gained powers of superspeed, he became the Scarlet
Speedster's sidekick. Growing up as his hero's protégé, Kid Flash had a
childhood of amazing action and adventure. But on the day that The
Flash died, Wally's carefree adolescence abruptly ended and his life as
an adult began.

Wally's earliest days as the Kid Flash and explores the gamut of his

succession of Barry Allen as the new Flash. A journey full of humor and
drama, this story shows just how much Wally West loves being the fastest
man alive.

Star Trek Classic UK Comics Vol. 2
This second volume fills in another major gap in Star Trek lore,
courtesy of these never-before reprinted comics that originally appeared
in weekly British magazines in the early 1970s. There's much to love
about these wonky, way-out writings and their atypical artwork. These
oft-forgotten Star Trek tales represent a different era. They're lost
gems with many facets and a unique perspective, an eccentric corner of
Star Trek history unlike any other. These are the U.K. voyages of the
Starship Enterprise―and, now, at last, fans everywhere can experience
them. As a special bonus, Rich Handley provides the first half
of a detailed encyclopedia of all things Star Trek from these British
comics. Exploring the minutiae is half the fun of enjoying a franchise,
and when it comes to Trek, there's no end of trivia to devour!
Walt Disney's Donald Duck Sunday Newspaper Strips Vol. 2
From deeper in the Disney Vaults, our second volume collects three more
complete years of Sunday fun―every color page from January 1943 through
December 1945. By the end of the book, WWII is (literally) history and
Donald, Daisy, and those incorrigible nephews find more than their share
of joy―and mayhem―in Duckberg. Disney scholar Alberto Becattini
provides an introduction that puts the strips in historical perspective,
and tells us about George Waiss, who joined the creative team in 1943,
taking on the inking chores over Al Taliaferro’s pencils.
