For fans of FREDDY KRUEGER!
In 1989 Marvel Comics gave Freddy Krueger is own black and white magazine. The magazine only lasted for two issues due to the outcry from angry parents. Marvel wanted no part of the controversy and cancelled the book before the sales figures for the first issue came in. Apparently, none of the angry parents noticed the “Illustrated Horror for Mature Readers” warning on the covers.
The issues that did make it on to newsstands were written by Steve Gerber. Tony DeZuniga provided the killer art work while Alfredo Alcala handled finishes. Rich Buckler also contributed art to the first issue. The beautiful covers are by Joe Jusko.
This is an extremely rare issue, published by MARVEL COMICS in 1989.

Product Description Gathered here are the collected works of the titans of adults comics--legendary underground cartoonist R. Crumb and the "high priest of comic-book naturalism" (Newsweek) Harvey Pekar. The comic collision of these underground luminaries is funny, obsessive, ever-so-slightly neurotic, but always biting and honest. Illustrations throughout.
Pekar's American Splendor is hands down the best adult comic book and maybe the best comic book, period, in the U.S. It is full of the adventures of Pekar himself--a genuine working-class intellectual, a clerk in a government hospital who on the side writes about jazz, the comics, and authors whose work deserves renewed attention. He writes and storyboards the stories and recruits professional comics artists to draw them. The most famous of these is his longtime friend, Robert Crumb, dean of the 1960s "underground" comics artists and subject of the extravagantly praised documentary film Crumb (1994). The touchstones for the formal qualities and attitudes of these cartoon-illustrated slices-of-life are the stories of such urban impressionists as Grace Paley and Meyer Liben and the films of the French new wave directors, especially Jean-Luc Godard and Eric Rohmer. Pekar and Crumb don't derive from those artists, however; they are their peers
Both Robert Crumb (Self-Loathing Comics), who defined the underground comics of the 1960s, and Harvey Pekar (Cancer Year), whose autobiographical comic (American Splendor) launched an entire movement in the 1980s, have transformed American alternative comics. Four Walls Eight Windows is releasing Bob & Harv's Comics, a collection of their pithy collaborations (Crumb illustrates Pekar's stories) that also shows how superbly suited they are to interpret each other's work.
Described by art critic Robert Hughes as "the Brueghel of the 20th century," Robert Crumb has become the only sixties counter culture artist to break through into the fine art world with great acclaim. Laura Hoptman, curator of the Carnegie International said, "Crumb is one of the most subversive and important voices to come out of America in the 20th century." He's one of the greatest draftsmen of our time.
"I never get bored seeing more work from a master who is so obsessively in love with the act of drawing; every image, even and otherwise prosaic still life from a 'pizzeria in St. Hyppolyte du Fort, ' captures the eye and imagination." -- Steven Heller "The New York Times Book Review"

In Viet Nam they were an elite commando force, but they were court-martialed for a crime they didn’t commit. Escaping from an army stockade, they fled to Los Angeles where they became soldiers of fortune. Still hunted by the army, they became the A-Team: taking on impossible cases for people in trouble.
The A-Team is comprised of a number of people, each with their own particular skills. The crazed “Howling Mad Murdock” is a technician and pilot; “Face” is a pretty boy who uses his charms for undercover work; and Amy Allen had been a reporter investigating the team when she became so impressed that she joined. Led by tactician Hannibal Smith, the team’s real star is strong man B.A. Baracus, better known to fans as Mr. T.
Although spectacularly successful on TV, the A-Team’s comics debut ran for just three issues in 1984.
Product Description Don't worry about choosing sides, because this far into the heart of darkness things get pretty gray. Follow Private Ed Marks and his fellow soldiers through a jungle of blood, lies, betrayal, and valor. It's the war that defined a generation, where the heroes may not be super, but they're all too human.
The 'Nam was an historical fiction series published in comic book form, detailing the U.S. War in Vietnam from the perspective of active-duty soldiers involved in the conflict. It was written by Doug Murray, illustrated by Michael Golden, edited by Larry Hama and published by Marvel Comics.
The creators intended to roughly parallel the analogous events of the period of major American military involvement in Vietnam from 1966 to 1972.
The comic is structured as the narrative of a fictional soldier, Private First Class Edward Marks (but sometimes following other characters), as he experiences real events that occurred during the conflict. Each issue of the comic tells a story that occurs one month after the previous issue.
Vietnam War veteran Larry Hama (creator of the second incarnation of GI JOE in the eighties) contacted fellow vet Doug Murray in 1984 about doing a Vietnam War series for Marvel Comics. Murray said that the comic was, "a pretty accurate view of the way the average soldier looked at the war. It was outside ordinary experience. The world was elsewhere." Murray decided to do the comic book in real-time so that one issue equaled one month to convey the concept of short-time. He said, "Literally everybody had a calendar that kept track of how long they had to go in-country. I really wanted a way to kind of reflect that in the comic book." The actions of the 23rd Infantry were based on fact. This did not mean that they were in every action depicted in the book - only that that historical event actually occurred. In addition, every issue featured a back-of-the-book glossary explaining the authentic lingo of the characters.
During its run, The 'Nam was nominated for the Best New Series category of the 1987 Jack Kirby Awards.
Marine Corps. veteran and former Newsweek editor William Broyles Jr. praised the comic for having, "a certain gritty reality,"
