American Update: A medley of classics – EC, Buck Rogers, Frazetta’s Johnny Comet and more!
*Modern Reprints: A cornucopia of vintage classics this update, leading off with two of the handsome hardcover EC Archives series from Gemstone Publishing. Full-colour and with dustjackets, these are among the nicer of the many reproductions of the EC line, and these two volumes – Shock SuspenStories and Weird Science – are two of the most acclaimed titles. Continuing the science-fiction theme, we have the 1981 paperback of Gray Morrow’s striking run on the Buck Rogers newspaper strip, Kirby and Wood’s Sky Masters of the Space Force, and on a lighter note, John Byrne’s ‘comedy robot’ strip of the 1970’s, Rog 2000. And bringing it back down to Earth, we present western adventure with the Cisco Kid, hot rod hijinx with Johnny Comet and an unfeasible bevy of shapely ladies illustrated by Frank Frazetta, and two anthologies, Buried Treasure and Standard Comics, which collect vintage works from Kirby, Kubert, Wood, Toth, Meskin and more.
