(W/A/CA) Michael DeForge Razor-sharp short stories from the greatest contemporary comics stylist In All the Cameras in My Room, Michael DeForge's hilarious and horny approach to comics fiction never disappoints. In “Figure Skating,” a star athlete’s impossible feats captivate the world, turning a simple skater’s rotation into a catalyst for national paralysis. While in “Holiday Special,” a narrator tells us about his favorite Christian holiday special that bears an uncanny resemblance to a certain bald-headed-boy-and-his-dog classic. No matter the conceit, characters in All the Cameras in My Room stretch and flatten and spiral around each other and burrow deep into the folds of a reader’s brain.

(W/A/CA) Alex T. Smith Blast off on an adventure with the Space Cadets in this funny and fast-paced adventure through space!

(W) Bill Everett, Dr. Michael J. Vassallo (A/CA) Bill Everett Already a Marvel/Timely legend for his creation of the Sub-Mariner in 1939, Bill Everett returned to Marvel during the 1950s to become Atlas’ most versatile and effective practitioner of horror-fantasy. Everett’s art was a combination of Graham Ingels, Harry Anderson, and Bernie Wrightson, with the slick ink line of Jack Davis, all melded within his own uniquely captivating imagery and in-your-face ghastliness. This mammoth Fantagraphics/Marvel volume is packed with Atlas pre-Code horror stories — the first volume of a series collecting the Atlas works of Sub-Mariner-creator Bill Everett. Including: “Spectacles of Doom,” “The Evil Eye,” “The Pit of Horror!” “Horror in the Moonlight!” “Don’t Bury Me Deep,” “One Head Too Many!” “Burton’s Blood!” Werewolf!” “The Madman,” and “The Graymoor Ghost,” from titles like Menace, Journey into Unknown Worlds, Strange Tales, Uncanny Tales, Spellbound, Mystic, Suspense, as well as “Zombie!” from Menace #5, featuring a character rebooted as Simon Garth in the black-and-white Marvel Magazine explosion of the 1970s. An introduction by Atlas expert Dr. Michael J. Vassallo puts it all in context.

(W) Alan Moore (A) Dave Gibbons, Alan Davis, Ian Gibson, John Higgins (CA) Steve Dillon Alan Moore is a legendary comics writer credited with transforming the medium and how it was seen through his seminal works such as V For Vendetta, From Hell and, of course, Watchmen.

This first volume in a new series collecting all of Alan Moore's work for 2000 AD, brings together all of his Future Shocks as well as a host of other one-off stories. Moore is a master of the short-format story and this collection doubles as the perfect guide for how to write comics to a page limit. Includes the story A Holiday In Hell which has never been reprinted in English since its first publication in 1980. Moore's stories are complemented by the works of a string of legendary artists including Dave Gibbons (Watchmen), Ian Gibson (The Ballad of Halo Jones), Eric Bradbury (Rogue Trooper), Bryan Talbot (Grandville), Steve Dillon (Preacher), Brett Ewins (Bad Company) and more.

(W/A/CA) Alex Ross An original Marvel Comics graphic novel starring the Fantastic Four, written and illustrated by renowned, multi-award-winning artist Alex Ross.

(W) Justin Jordan (A/CA) Patrick Piazzalunga Huck and Marley help people for money. Well, in theory anyway... For some reason, their help always seems to involve massive amounts of property damage, a somehow guaranteed collision with the supernatural and, if Marley has his way, a huge body count. They’re the Gunpowder Prophets, and a simple job rescuing a girl from a backwoods cult turns weird when the super groovy leader's supernatural powers turn out to be very, very real. It’s seventies style horror mixed with grindhouse action in Gunpowder Prophets. Gonzo over the top action horror from Justin Jordan (The Strange Talent of Luther Strode), Patrick Piazzalunga (Monsters are my Business), Roman Stevens, and Taylor Esposito.

(W) Grant Morrison (A) Darick Robertson (CA) Mike Allred The bestselling comic that inspired the cult-favorite SYFY series follows an ex-cop at rock bottom who finds an unlikely shot at redemption when he’s guided by a tiny, relentlessly optimistic blue cartoon horse only he can see. Meet Nick Sax: a corrupt, intoxicated ex-cop turned hitman, adrift in a stinking twilight world of casual murder, soulless sex, eczema, and betrayal. With a hit gone wrong, a bullet in his side, the cops and the mob on his tail, and a monstrous child killer in a Santa suit on the loose, Nick and his world will be changed forever this Christmas by a tiny blue horse called Happy… This deluxe edition of HAPPY! includes 10 extra pages of story by creators GRANT MORRISON (NAMELESS, Arkham Asylum, Invisibles) and DARICK ROBERTSON (The Boys, OLIVER, Transmetropolitan) and was the inspiration for the TWO SEASON SYFY adaptation starring CHRIS MELONI (Law & Order: SVU) as NICK SAX and PATTON OSWALT (Ratatouille) as the voice of Happy, the imaginary blue-winged horse. Collects HAPPY! #1-4.

(W/A/CA) Kim Deitch How I Make Comics is not just about how Kim Deitch makes comics, but about how comics made him. The book pinwheels between real autobiography and imagined comics history, but it begins in 1952 with a true story of eight-year-old Kim Deitch appearing in the audience of the Howdy Doody Show with eight-year-old Donnie Trump. Following Donnie’s attempt to rig an election among the audience (no kidding!), Deitch relates a famous newspaper account of a diminutive wife who valiantly defends her equally diminutive husband in court, who just happens to be the inspiration of Harold Gray’s Little Orphan Annie. Periodically, Kim asks his own wife for her critique and advice of the stories he’s told so far, which he takes into account for future tales that include revenge-driven circus performers, fairytale mural painters, sordid comic book lore, comics readers creating real-life superheroes, impossibly old cats issuing supernatural judgments and inhabiting the bodies of humans, culminating in the real-life story of Kim’s mother hitchhiking across country and being picked up by none other than Forrest J. Ackerman, the sci-fi, fantasy, and monster aficionado, who takes her to a convention where she meets a teenaged Ray Bradbury. How I Make Comics is a creatively kaleidoscopic, non-stop exploration of how Deitch’s imagination turns ideas, influences, and irritations into comics in his inimitable style. Snippets of behind-the-scenes explanations of his notes and sketches expand into cascading short stories. Each section goes freewheeling from notion to notion, quietly building themes and reveling in its own wild-eyed imaginative capacities across 180 pages to form both an intimate graphic memoir and an eye-popping graphic novel. One of the most prolific artists of his generation, Deitch enters his 60th year of cartooning more inventive than ever and showing no signs of slowing down.

With all the time that he’s been spending on Earth, Dr. Jumba hasn’t earned enough Villain Points to re-up next year.

In 1992, Marvel Entertainment commissioned Jim Lee, the young superstar penciller behind X-Men#1, the bestselling single-issue comic book of the modern era, to create all of the art for a new set of 105 trading cards—a set that would go on to become one of the most celebrated in Marvel history and the gold standard for non-sports trading-card artwork and design.
