PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES COMIC BOOK. FEATURING FULL COLOR ARTWORK AND COVER BY RICHARD CORBEN!
For fans of RICHARD CORBEN's unique style of extreme Fantasy and Horror. An issue of the original TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLE Indie/Underground Comic Book with a great Full Color Cover and lavish interior art by CORBEN!
Richard Corben illustrated a then-rare full-color tale written by Jan Strand, one which sends the team through time to fight pirates, knights, a prehistoric crocodile and some monkey men.
As the issue begins, the TMNT are battling pirates on the high sea. Once the Turtles have swabbed the deck with the foul freebooters, Don pulls an odd cube out of his belt. We discover that the cube is a time travel device that the guys got from Renet, Lord Simultaneous' not-so-able assistant, and the Turtles have been sent on an adventure through time!
Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird thought they were making a joke about the countless mutant and kung-fu heroes in comics. So what better than to name their improbable series, “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”? Little did they know that their joke would soon develop a cult of devoted fans, eventually turning them into an international phenomenon.
The Turtles: Donatello, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Leonardo, along with their rat sensei Splinter, are now one of the hottest tickets in town. Stars of stage, screen, and countless comics (including this, the original), they combine humor and action in a way that appeals to young children and hip intellectuals.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE ORIGINAL MIRAGE TURTLES COMICS ARE A LITTLE MORE EDGIER AND LESS KID-FRIENDLY THAN THEIR CARTOON COUNTERPARTS!

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
TAROT WITCH OF THE BLACK ROSE #27 COMIC BOOK!
OUT OF PRINT. HARD TO FIND COLLECTOR'S ITEM WRITTEN AND DRAWN BY THE LEGENDARY JIM BALENT!
In Old Salem town, two sisters, both disciples of Wicca, or witchcraft, fight an epic battle in a centuries-long war for the acceptance and ascendance of witchcraft on earth. Raven Hex seeks to destroy nonbelievers while resurrecting her dead father, using any magical means necessary. Meanwhile Tarot, the “good witch,” aided by the strange Skeleton Man (a cemetery worker who can see the dead), hopes to stop her evil sister and all those who serve the powers of darkness. Jim Balent, who made his mark as an artist on DC’s Catwoman, writes and draws this modern day ghost story. He spins an interesting and spooky tale, and his women are, as always, beautiful (although almost ridiculously buxom). But more than the art and story, Balent is to be commended for his efforts to portray witchcraft and Wicca in a positive light, as his letter column and bonus interviews with real-life practicing witches attest.
Synopsis:
Tarot reluctantly agreed to accompany Raven to the annual celebration her devoted goblins hold in her honour. But Tarot is left to fend for herself against the goblins' mischievous affection when Raven must pursue one of her diminutive flock, who has gotten himself into a spot of bother...

BLACK CAPTAIN AMERICA GRAPHIC NOVEL THE TRUTH TUSKEGEE!
Visit the POP CULTURE SHOP eCRATER Store!
Visit the POP CULTURE SHOP eBAY Store!
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
THE TRUTH: RED WHITE and BLACK.
MARVEL GRAPHIC NOVEL series starring The Black Captain America!
Detailing the complete saga of the African American Captain America who fought injustice during World War 2!
Published by Marvel Comics, the creators of such beloved superheroes a Spiderman, X-Men, The Hulk, Daredevil, Iron Man, and of course, CAPTAIN AMERICA.
This comic book series, published in 2003, revealed that the ORIGINAL Captain America was in fact a Black American Soldier.
At the time, it garnered a flurry of media attention, and the series sold out and became instant collector's items.
The series is written and drawn by African American writer Robert Morales and artist Kyle Baker.
Printed on glossy paperstock and cardstock cover to enhance the full color expressive style of Baker's illustrations.
Truth writer Robert Morales took a lead from the “Tuskegee experiment.” The Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male was a real-life clinical study in which poor Black men were denied treatment for syphilis, so that the doctors involved could study how the disease spreads through the body and eventually kills the infected person.
Morales posed the questions: What if realizing that the “Super Soldier” serum was potentially so dangerous and perhaps fatal that before testing it on a white man (Rogers), the government tested it on Black soldiers.
In 1940, Joe Simon and Jack Kirby created Captain America, a frail patriot who was transformed by a "super-soldier serum" into a physically perfect specimen to champion freedom, an American alternative to the Nazi uebermensch. Now, writer Morales pursues this idea and also draws inspiration from U.S. government experiments in the 1930s that left unwitting African-Americans infected with syphilis, leading to many deaths. Beginning his story in 1940, Morales incisively depicts the racism his various African-American characters confront both in civilian life and in the military. These black soldiers are compelled to act as test subjects for the super-soldier serum; some die, while others become deformed. Ultimately only one survives, Isaiah Bradley. Becoming Captain America for one mission, Bradley discovers Jewish concentration camp inmates subjected to experiments. Ranging from heroic figures to pointed caricatures, artist Baker makes his varied styles gel. Drawing on copious research, Morales dramatizes how racism corrupted American history, and the cost of the Super Soldier serum in creating the Captain America known to most for the past century.

In the war against vampires, mankind has only one hope: The Dark-Hunters. Ancient warriors who died of brutal betrayal, the Dark-Hunters have sworn themselves into the service of the goddess Artemis to protect us.
It's a pact with pretty good perks. Immortality, power, psychic abilities, wealth and a cool wardrobe. But it comes with a few drawbacks: fatal sun poisoning and a new, irreparable dental problem. But aside from the fangs and nocturnal lifestyle, it's not so bad. Until Kyrian meets the most frightening thing imaginable. An accountant who's being hunted by one of the most lethal vampires out there. If Amanda Devereaux goes down, so does he and no offense, he doesn't want to die (hence the whole immortality thing). And he doesn't want humanity dead either which is a good thing for us since he and Amanda are all that stands between us and oblivion. Let's hope they win. From the wild imagination of Sherrilyn Kenyon comes the humorous and suspenseful manga debut of the #1 internationally bestselling Dark-Hunter series. The world of manga will never be the same again.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
THE GOLDEN AGE Graphic Novel V1
ONE OF THE MOST EPIC SUPERHERO STORIES OF ALL TIME.
RARE AND OUT OF PRINT! THE FIRST VOLUME OF THE REVOLUTIONARY GRAPHIC NOVEL SERIES BY JAMES ROBINSON AND PAUL SMITH.
This series led into STARMAN and the current JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA series enjoyed by fans today!
Product Description
Some of the greatest heroes of the 1940s JSA including the original Green Lantern, Atom, Hawkman, Starman and othersreturn in this spectacular Elseworlds tale. The story follows their postwar adventures as they battle evil in a world they fear may no longer need them. And as their importance wanes, a new hero, Dynaman, rallies the nation behind his fascist agenda.
Clearly influenced by Alan Moore's Watchmen, this reissue depicts DC's superheroes from the 1940s hanging up their capes following the end of WWII. Whereas Moore's superheroes were forced into retirement, here the heroes succumb to disillusionment, personality flaws and even madness. Robinson projects the dark pessimism of 1990s superhero comics onto the idealistic, committed heroes of half a century before. One of these "mystery men," Tex Thompson, alias the Americommando, enters politics and initiates a government project that uses atomic power to create Dynaman, a "superman" who becomes a living weapon against the Soviets. Beneath their patriotic rhetoric, Thompson and Dynaman conspire to become dictators.
Smith's realistic artwork and mastery of gesture and facial expression bring out all the dramatic potential in Robinson's scenario.
In the early ’40s, America was engulfed in the bloodiest war it had ever seen. But for all the tragedy, it was also a time of wonder and heroes. On the home front, legends such as Hawkman, Green Lantern, Dr. Mid-Nite, Hourman, and countless others fought the good fight against crime and sabotage. They would have fought the war itself had it not been for a German superman called Parsifal, whose power negated theirs. Parsifal was eventually defeated by the Americommando, but by then the bomb had been developed. Soon it was all over.
It was the beginning of a new age of hope for America, but the end of the Golden Age for its heroes. Some retired, others went insane. Some did worse.
The Golden Age is a masterfully crafted Elseworlds series by James Robinson and Paul Smith.

Kaiju Big Battel: A Practical Guide to Giant City-Crushing Monsters (Paperback)
~ Studio Kaiju (Author)
* Paperback: 192 pages
* Publisher: Hyperion (February 11, 2004)
* Language: English
* ISBN-10: 0786888970
* ISBN-13: 978-0786888979
Product Description
Kaiju Big Battel, a series of live events that revolve around tournament-style performances, is a tongue-in-cheek hybrid of Japanese-monster-movie mayhem and lowbrow pop-culture. These sold-out events feature a roster of over thirty monsters battling in a modern conflict of epic proportions.
Kaiju Big Battel, the official guide, will provide an overview of the Kaiju universe, principally the key monsters and the epic battles, for devoted fans and new readers alike. In addition to a 16-page full-color insert of Kaiju studio photographs and a glossary, Kajiu Big Battel will be ornamented with a safety manual, weapon profiles and a guide to the inner workings of the Kaiju world. A crash course in everything Kaiju, readers would be well-advised to pay careful attention as those uneducated in monster mayhem could be imperiled next time Kaiju Big Battel erupts in their neighborhood!
The Big Battel Rages on in the Kaiju Universe!
Planet Earch is under threat. Scattered throughout the galaxy is a monstrous mob of maniacal villians, alien beasts, and city-crushing monsters that are waging a war against one another. In a recent New Year's Eve Kaiju Big Battel, Kung-Fu Chicken Noodle defeated RoBox:
"Kung-Fu Chicken Noodle couldn't wait for the ball to drop to avenge his shocking loss to the newest Kaiju Hero, RoBox, at Kaiju Rampage New York. As Louden Noxious counted down to the stroke of midnight, the killer klucker burst into the Danger Cage and began to lay waste to the snow-covered cityscape. Seeing this wanton destruction, newly constructed Kaiju Hero, RoBox rushed the Cage to put a shop to the terror. This was perhaps the robotic Hero's biggest mistake of the night.
Fresh from an extended stay in China with his sensei, Mr. Wong, Soup unleashed a barrage of devastating new maneuvers upon Kung-Fu Chicken Noodle. High-flying flips and crushing corkscrews quickly overloaded RoBox's circuts and the new Hero was unable to mount any signifigant counter attack. Finally Soup delivered the Bouillion Back Flip for the pin, earning the right to fufill his new year's resolutions: to kill again!"

Fresh from an extended stay in China with his sensei, Mr. Wong, Soup unleashed a barrage of devastating new maneuvers upon Kung-Fu Chicken Noodle. High-flying flips and crushing corkscrews quickly overloaded RoBox's circuts and the new Hero was unable to mount any signifigant counter attack. Finally Soup delivered the Bouillion Back Flip for the pin, earning the right to fufill his new year's resolutions: to kill again!"

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
DEATH OF GROO GRAPHIC NOVEL (Paperback)
BY SERGIO ARAGONES AND MARK EVANIER!
The famous CONAN THE BARBARIAN SPOOF by MAD MAGAZINE artist SERGIO ARAGONES!
1st PRINT 1st EDITION. Published by MARVEL EPIC COMICS in 1987.
Sergio Aragones' "Groo" is one of the funniest comics of all time. The story of a dim-witted wanderer who causes destruction wherever he goes, this long-running series has worked in social commentary with wickedly funny tales for nearly 20 years now.
In this graphic novel from the title's days at Marvel Comics, Groo wanders into a town where the king wants him dead for costing them a war some time ago. When a series of mishaps causes the townspeople to believe Groo has perished, a celebration erupts. But Groo is alive, and heartbroken to discover how hated he is by the town. So he has to find a way to make himself a hero again.
Funny, clever and beautifully drawn, Aragones and his partner Mark Evanier did a great job with this excellent graphic novel.
He didn’t really die. That doesn’t give anything away as the reader finds this out at the beginning of the story. It’s just that everyone thinks that Groo is dead and the amusing results occur with what various people do with the information. Groo, of course, spends the whole time trying to convince everyone that he is still around, but isn’t very successful. You’ll have to read it to find out how everything straightens out in this, the first Groo graphic novel.
Highly recommended with lavish full color artwork.

SNK VS CAPCOM CHAOS MANGA GRAPHIC NOVEL!
* STREET FIGHTER.
* DARKSTALKERS
* KING OF FIGHTERS/FATAL FURY!
* SAMURAI SHODOWN
OUT OF PRINT. HARD TO FIND COLLECTOR'S ITEM!
Featuring fantastic full color manga .
In the 90s, gamers across the country spent millions of their hard-earned quarters at the arcade and made CAPCOM's and SNK's the most popular video games of all time.
Author: Chi Wan Shum
ISBN: 978-1-59796-066-3
Date Published: 7/25/2007
Format: Paperback / Color
Number of pages: 128
There exists a limbo realm where the cost of admission is death! Here a new battlefield is populated by the most powerful and fearsome martial artists the world has ever known.
DrMaster Publications Inc. announced that the long arduous wait is over--SVC CHAOS SNK VS CAPCOM is now available in stores around the nation! This is the comic adaptation of popular video game by SNK PLAYMORE and Capcom, two of the heaviest hitters within the video game industry!
Here's a brief glimpse of what's to come –
There exists a limbo realm where the cost of admission is death! Here a new battlefield is populated by the most powerful and fearsome martial artists the world has ever known. Time holds little importance as fighters from many eras and periods of history, living or hence deceased share the same timeline. This is the playing field for SNK vs. Capcom. This is...SVC Chaos!
SVC Chaos draws on characters from the world's three most popular fighting game series - Street Fighter, King of Fighters and SNK vs. Capcom. Capcom's fierce cast of martial artists face off against SNK's legendary masters. All your favorite players are here
Akuma has been defeated by Athena and must now work for COSMOS. Ryu, having been elevated by Akuma, must now fight his martial arts brother, the newly enhanced Ken.
Arguably, the key secret to the success of King of Fighters and Street Fighter lies behind the strong characterization applied to the central figures—anybody who is familiar with the video games likely bonds with at least one of the colorful fighters because they can find something to identify with him (or her). For the popular fighting game to carry over into the comics medium was a complete natural.
A MUST HAVE for all Die Hard SNK and CAPCOM fans.
Read the story of the characters behind the video game!

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
HACKER FILES #1 COMIC BOOK!
OUT OF PRINT. HARD TO FIND FIRST ISSUE COLLECTOR'S ITEM.
Premiere issue of THE HACKER FILES, Featuring lavish full color artwork printed on high quality paper!
Computers brought with them the prospect for revolution—revolution in information, that most important of all sources of power. Business, the military, and governments sought to use computers for their own ends. But for “hackers” like Jack Marshall, the only true safety lay in distributing their power as widely as possible.
Marshall is an anarchist—or at least someone who doesn’t trust those in power to use it for the best. His own way of rebelling is to break into computer systems. This has made him some powerful enemies, but it has also put him in contact with a sort of “digital underground” of freethinkers around the globe. These contacts have led Jack on adventures involving everything from “push-button war” among the generals to saving refugees from the repressive government of Red China and the Tienanmen Square massacre of 1989.

Editor George (Kimota!) Khoury has assembled rare strips, scripts, artwork and photographs of the author, most never published before.
It also features Moore’s closest collaborators elaborating on their relationships with Moore in comic book form, from Neil Gaiman, Dave Gibbons, and Sam Kieth to Kevin O’Neill, Brian Bolland, Rick Veitch, and others, plus an artistic tribute by Alex Ross, and a new cover by Dave McKean! Included are the rare Moore stories "Pictopia," "Lust," his unseen work on Judge Dredd, and more! ! This is the definitive autobiographical work on Moore, over two years in the making!
Moore reflects on his life and work in an insightful and candid fashion through an extensive series of interviews about his entire legendary career, including new interviews.

* Language: English
* ISBN-10: 1893905241
* ISBN-13: 978-1893905245
Khoury marks Alan Moore's exalted status in the comics world on the occasion of Moore's fiftieth birthday. The centerpiece of the volume is a lengthy interview with the reclusive writer, touching upon everything from his early days as an aspiring comics fan to his recently announced retirement from mainstream comics. More compelling, perhaps, is the bounty of rare material reprinted here, ranging from strips a teenaged Moore wrote--and drew (!)--for the British music press to obscure stories, photographs, and examples of his famously detailed scripts. Tributes from some of Moore's most renowned friends and collaborators, including Neil Gaiman, Dave Gibbons, Brian Bolland, Rick Veitch, and Alex Ross, round out the text, and a comprehensive bibliography of Moore's work should delight collectors even as it makes them despair of ever acquiring all the prolific writer's publications. This celebration of comics' most acclaimed author should prove exhaustive enough to satisfy even the most obsessed of Moore's legion of fans.

HIGHLANDER COMIC BOOK CONNER DUNCAN MACLEOD NEW RARE!!!

Visit the POP CULTURE SHOP eBAY Store!
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
HIGHLANDER COMIC BOOKS.
Collector's Item!
AN ADVENTURE FEATURING HIGHLANDER CONNER MACLEOD (FROM THE MOVIES) AND HIS COUSIN DUNCAN MACLEOD (THE HIGHLANDER OF THE TV SERIES).
With lavish, full color artwork printed on high quality glossy paper!
In the movie Highlander, wandering immortals gained supernatural power by beheading their fellows in personal combat. Their ultimate goal was the Gathering, when the most powerful battled to be the sole survivor and thus gain ultimate power. Eventually, Connor MacLeod, the Highlander, defeated the vicious Kurgan, fulfilling the legend that “there can be only One” and gaining God-like abilities in the process.
Picking up after the movie, this series furthers Connor’s story. But with a handful of immortals still live (apparently, “…only One” was metaphorical), is a new Gathering already in the works?
Extremely popular, the original movie generated two sequels, two television series, an animated TV series, and several books. This series is a refreshing return to basics.
a special New Year's Eve tale of immortal love... and loss! Also featuring the first Dynamite Comics appearance of Duncan MacLeod!
Extremely rare issues, published by DYNAMITE COMICS.
Highly sought after.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Graphic Classics: Arthur Conan Doyle, (Paperback)
SHERLOCK HOLMES PLUS GREAT TALES OF GHOSTS, PIRATES AND MYSTERY!
RARE and OUT OF PRINT COLLECTORS ITEM.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Product Description
Graphic Classics: Arthur Conan Doyle is completely revised, with over a hundred pages of new material. New to this edition are comics adaptations of Sherlock Holmes in "The Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb" by Rod Lott and Simon Gane, and Brigadier Gerard in "The Castle of Gloom" by Antonella Caputo and Nick Miller. Plus Doyle's fearsome pirate "Captain Sharkey", illustrated by John W. Pierard, "The Ghosts of Goresthorpe Grange" by Peter Gullerud, and "The Great Brown-Pericord Motor" by Milton Knight. Returning from the first edition are Sherlock Holmes in "The Copper Beeches" by Rick Geary, and stories illustrated by Roger Langridge and J.B. Bonivert. With a new cover by Rick Geary. This new edition offers not only a greater range of Doyle's output but also more cartoonists to interpret the writing. Yes, Holmes is here: Rick Geary delivers an image-driven retelling of "The Copper Beeches" and Rod Lott and Simon Gane take on Holmes in "The Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb." But Doyle wrote a lot besides detective stories: J. B. Bonivert offers an adaptation of the author's sf story "The Los Amigos Fiasco"; Peter Gullerud and Pomplun rework "The Ghosts of Goresthorpe Grange"; and Pomplun takes on "Sharkey," a tale about pirates. Roger Langridge, Milton Knight, Antonella Caputo, and Nick Miller are also among the contributors to this black-and-white collection, which showcases as many drawing styles as story types.
* Paperback: 144 pages
* Publisher: Eureka Productions; 2nd edition (November 15, 2005)
* Language: English
* ISBN-10: 0974664855
* ISBN-13: 978-0974664859
* Product Dimensions: 9.8 x 6.8 x 0.4 inches
Doyle's prose and poetry are brought to life in this exciting volume.
In The Ghosts of Goresthorpe Grange, a man believes that his house is occupied by spirits and seeks out the help of a medium. Ultimately, he is drugged and swindled, and the dreamlike style of the art reinforces this mood. In Two Great Brown-Pericord Motor, two men create an invention and become fiercely jealous and protective of it, until disaster erupts. This volume also contains two Sherlock Holmes stories and thrilling tales of sea adventures. Though each one is illustrated by a different artist, the writing ties the collection together nicely.
The artists have deftly captured the themes and moods of each piece in the black-and-white illustrations done in a wide range of styles and techniques.
