FEMFORCE #144
$6.95, 44 page format, saddle-stitched
** Not Yet Available **
Black & white interiors with full color covers.

Writer's and Artist's Names: Writers include Stephanie & Mark Heike, Silvano, Eric Johnson , Eric Lindberg. Artists include Jeff Austin, Mark Heike, Stephanie Heike, Quinton Bedwell, Rock Baker, Javier Lugo and Paul Wills.
Intended Audience: All-ages readers who like Silver-Age style superheroics, as well as fans of classic "good girl "art.
Format: Standard comic book size and format, 44 pages saddle-stitched. Black & white interiors with color covers.
Synopsis: Meet STORMY TEMPEST, visitor from the future: has she come to save The FEMFORCE, or destroy it? Will MS. VICTORY and PARAGON be forced to acknowledge their "son"- AND pay child support? And what does SHE CAT know about the mysterious stranger called PRIDE? Good Girl art, action and intrigue.
Special Notes: This issue brings another long-lived Bill Black creation, STORMY TEMPEST into the FEMFORCE Universe, as a catalyst to the next big-story arc; while the saga of MS. VICTORY'S "cloned without her knowledge" offspring brings her & husband PARAGON in to court to confront the legalities of the situation. And if all that was not enough, this issue also includes ( on the 'back side", in a flip-book format) the 7th smash issue of AC's "underground" comic book sensation, GARGANTARAMA- THE COMIC BOOK. Stories centering around a giant woman theme are the order of the day here, and though inclusion of the Gargantarama flip book has not been mentioned in previous FEMFORCE Previews solicitations, the feature has made FF's 137-142 hot "after market" items among fanatics for this type of material. Writer/creators Eric Johnson and Eric Lindberg really know the genre (and their audience) and have been producing new characters and stories that have taken the GTS community by storm!!

MEN OF MYSTERY #72
$9.95, 68 page format, saddle-stitched
** Not Yet Available **
Black & white interiors with full color covers.

Writer's and Artist's Names: Writers include Bill Woolfolk, Otto Binder and Steve Douglas. Artists include Ben Thompson, Dan Barry, John Giunta and John Spranger.
Intended Audience: All-ages fans of Golden Age reprint material , art aficionados, comics historians, and fans of classic action, adventure and superhero material of all kinds.
Format: Standard comic book size, extra-thick 68-page saddle-stitched design; black & white interiors with color covers.
Synopsis: 1940's favorite DOLLMAN returns in a classic story titled "DOLL MAN VS THE HAG". Then, it's more full-story reprints starring MAJOR MIDNIGHT and LADY LUCK -plus THREE MORE vintage heroes making their MEN OF MYSTERY debut: HYDROMAN, The RED COMET and The DUKE OF DARKNESS!! The Golden Age lives again here!!
Special Notes: Regular MOM readers seem to respond best to two elements- stories featuring the most popular characters of the 1940's, and those chronicalling the VERY most obscure- and this issue has a good mix of both. Of course DOLLMAN was among the longest- running & most successful costumed superheroes of Quality Comic's Golden Age productions, and he returns this issue- while on the other side of the coin, we present The DUKE OF DARKNESS- a little-known hero (somewhat in the SPECTRE vein ) created & drawn by John Giunta in a very Will-Eisner-influenced style. A weird but well-crafted feature that deserved to have more success. Other first-timers this issue include HYDROMAN, yet another of the water-based superdoers created by the great Bill Everett, (though drawn here by Ben Thompson) and The RED COMET- an interesting mix of costumed superheroics in a futuristic science-fictional setting, originally published in Fiction House Comics' Planet Comics title.

MEN OF MYSTERY #74
$9.95, 68 page format, saddle-stitched
** Not Yet Available **
Black & white interiors with full color covers.

Writer's and Artist's Names: Writers include Abner Sundell, Otto Binder, William Woolfolk and France Herron; artists include Charles Quinlan, Al Bryant, L. B. Cole, Pierce Rice, Arturo Cazeneuve and others.
Intended Audience: All-ages fans of Golden Age reprint material, art aficionados, comics historians, and fans of classic action, adventure and superhero material of all kinds.
Format: Standard comic book size, extra-thick 68-page saddle-stitched design; black & white interiors with color covers.
Synopsis: "Superheroic Couples" issue!! Read exciting, never previously reprinted exploits of the top guy-and-gal costumed crimefighting duos of the Golden Age, with stories starring FLAME & FLAMEGIRL, BULLETMAN & BULLETGIRL, CAT-MAN & KITTEN, DOLLMAN & DOLLGIRL, ROCKETMAN & ROCKETGIRL; the rarely-seen BOOMERANG & DIANA- plus other surprises!!
Special Notes: Crimefighting duos were all too common in the Golden Age. Once Robin the Boy Wonder appeared in DC's Batman strip, the pattern most-imitated was unfortunately set- the adult superhero with the cloying boy sidekick. But this month's issue of MOM highlights the more interesting super-teams, those that involve male/female pairings. Female costumed crime fighters were relatively rare in the 1940's, compared to today's comic book scene; and those that were partnered with an already-established male hero faired better than most, in terms of success, exposure and longevity. Interested readers can see the best of those right here in this issue. 
 

   
BEST OF THE WEST #69
$9.95, 68 page format, saddle-stitched
** Not Yet Available **
Black & white interiors with full color covers.

Writer's and Artist's Names: Writers include Gardner Fox, Ray Krank, Paul S. Newman, and others; artists include Dick Ayers, Frank Bolle, Joe Certa & John Belfi; Doug Wildey, Ed Good, John Buscema and others.
Intended Audience: All-ages fans of classic action, adventure and B-Western material of all kinds.
Format: Standard comic book size, but now with EVEN MORE PAGES- a full EXTRA-LENGTH- 68 PAGES!! Black & white interiors with color covers.
Synopsis: NEW EXTRA-LENGTH PACKAGE- A full 68 PAGES on a Macabre Western theme!! Eight never-previously-reprinted spooky stories starring REDMASK- "The Ghost of Fort Apache"; LASH LaRUE, DURANGO, HAUNTED HORSEMAN- "Claws of Horror"; MONTE HALE- VS "The Gravedigger"; MASKED MARVEL, and WILD BILL PECOS-"Meets The Undertaker"!! -plus more!!
Special Notes: Although the theme for this issue of Best of the West (which, by the way; ushers in yet another PAGE INCREASE in the book- due to the positive response to our "up-sizing" last issue, we're increasing page count here this issue AGAIN, to a 68-page format which will become the Best of the West standard as of this issue) is seasonal, the horror/Western cross-genre realm is one we try to explore on a semi-regular basis. This is NOT specifically a Halloween special of any sort. 

   
CRYPT OF HORROR #5
$24.95, 120 page format, saddle-stitched
** Not Yet Available **
Black & white interiors with full color covers.

Writer's and Artist's Names: Artists include Bob Powell, Dick Breifer, Steve Ditko, Bernie Krigstein, Jay Disbrow, Dick Ayers, Shelly Moldoff & others.
Intended Audience: All-ages fans of classic horror comics material; comics historians, and fans of vintage reprint material of all kinds.
Format: Standard comic book size; saddle-stitched, SUPER-THICK- 120 pages, black & white interiors with color covers.
Synopsis: Another terrifying collection of 1950's horror comics reprint masterpieces !! Thrill to gruesome goodies with titles like: "Let The Past Lie Buried', "The Death Ship", "She Monster" "The Evil Eye" and "Anything Can Happen". With art by Jay Disbrow, Ditko, Krigstein, Ayers, Shelly Moldoff and others More than a dozen creepy classics!!
Special Notes: The classic horror comics of the 1950's, those published BEFORE the implementation of the Comics Code Authority; have become synonymous with an unequaled level skin-crawling revulsion. While that assessment was probably more exaggeration than fact in most cases, it does remain true that a large volume of very interesting work in the genre was done during this period, and this volume again collects a sizeable portion of that body of work from various publishers. The Crypt of Horror classic comic book reprint series has proved a successful and popular addition to our line, and although the stories therein are certainly of a seasonal nature, this issue is in no way a Halloween special of any kind.

Intended Audience: All-ages readers who like Silver-Age style superheroics as well as fans of classic "good girl" art.
Format: Standard comic book size and format, 44 pages, saddle-stitched; black & white interiors with color covers.
Synopsis: Brutal slashing's in the night- and The FEMFORCE think it's SHE-CAT on an out-of-control rampage. NIGHTVEIL could sort out the truth, but her obsession with an arcane artifact has her drawn into a malevolent dimension of "elder gods". And WHY does STORMY TEMPEST fear General Gordon's future?
Special Notes: As this long-running series charges toward issue #150, old friends (and enemies) return to draw the FEMFORCE cast into new challenges fraught with drama. This issue, yet another art star joins the rotating cast of FEMFORCE creators as Bryan Baugh, Disney animator and art "how-to" book author contributes his first artwork on a FEMFORCE story- and it's wild!! And, as per usual, the regularly-occurring "flip- book" feature Garagantarama- The Comic Book is in evidence this issue, as issue #9 of that title runs back-to-back with FF #146. The saga of ROWENA, the giantess of the Middle Ages continues; another episode of GTS superheroine THREETA is featured, produced by the new creative team of writer Percival Constantine and artist Steve Garcia, and the talented Rock Baker makes his debut as a scripter on his creation DINOSAUR GIRL, making it's debut appearance here.

Then, MAJOR MIDNIGHT in "Life Of The Shark"; RADAR in "Adventure In The States"; SPY SMASHER "Introduces Crime Smasher"; plus T-MAN, ROCKY X and CRIMEBUSTER.
Special Notes: The Post-War era of the Golden Age is spotlighted this issue, as even the crime fighters' focus turns from Nazis and Fascists to domestic crime and mayhem. Longtime Axis-buster SPY SMASHER turns in his cape to fight crime Stateside as CRIME SMASHER; T-MAN and RADAR take care of undercover espionage work, DOLLMAN & CB fight good ol' American gangsters and freaks, and Rocky X heads off into space, Can the 1950's possibly be far behind?
