Complete Peanuts HC Vol. 6: 1961-1962
 | Launching into the 1960s, Schulz adds another new cast member. Two, in fact: The obnoxious Frieda, of 'naturally curly hair' fame, and her inert, seemingly boneless cat Faron. The rapidly maturing Sally, who was after all just born in the previous volume, is ready to start kindergarten and not at all happy about it. Linus' life is particularly turbulent in this volume, as he is forced to wear glasses, sees the unexpected return of his favorite teacher, Miss Othmar, and coaxes Sally into the cult of the Great Pumpkin (with regrettable results). Snoopy, meanwhile, becomes a compulsive water sprinkler head stander, unhappily befriends a snowman or two, and endures a family crisis involving a little family of birds. Plus baseball blowouts (including a rare team victory), Beethoven birthdays, and plenty of dubious psychiatric help for a nickel. This book collects 730 daily and Sunday comic strips, the vast majority of which are not currently available in any in-print Peanuts collection, and many of which have... |

Pubo #1 (of 3)
 | Leland Purvis, the Xeric Award-winning creator of Vox (which Sequential Tart called "the standout new entry onto the [small press] scene this year"), takes a more lighthearted approach with a hilarious story about a bizarre misfit. The victim of an unusual -- and one can only assume pointless -- medical experiment, Pubo finds himself at the mercy of the animals and few humans in the deep dark woods of the Pacific Northwest. And he'd probably be just fine, if he weren't such a grumpy little bastard. But his natural, primal inclinations combine with his big-city, gruff demeanor, and it might turn out that there's nowhere for a little guy with a big head to fit in. |
Dark Horse Deluxe Journal: Jim Flora
 | Jim Flora created dozens of diabolic and hallucinatory album cover illustrations in the 1940s and ‘50s. Featuring angular, beaked-nosed beatnik musicians playing cockeyed, levitating instruments, his work has influenced many of today's popular artists. He used colors and subject matter that now evoke another time in history: ‘40s and ‘50s back alley clubs, beat poetry, and jazz musicians playing their hearts out: back when cool was really cool. Dark Horse is very pleased to provide a new platform for Jim's art to be seen. |
