VIETNAM JOURNAL #1 COMIC BOOK! Hard to find first issue COLLECTOR'S ITEM!
Vietnam Journal by Don Lomax is one of the best comic book portrayals of Vietnam ever. It's probably one of the best works ever put down in any art form about the war. Lomax created Vietnam Journal back in the 1980’s for Apple Comics.
This issue: Beginning a new series that focuses on the infamous TET OFFENSIVE in 1968.
Written and illustrated by veteran Don Lomax, here is the Vietnam War told in an extraordinary graphic novel. The stories may be fiction, but their intensity and emotional resonance point to social and personal truths that go beyond mere facts.
The troops in Vietnam call war correspondent Scott Neithammer "Journal." His editors sent him to Southeast Asia to write what was happening in South Vietnam. But Neithammer discovers quickly that the real story about the Vietnam War was not at division or battalion headquarters. It was in the bush with soldiers who live with the slime, the stink, the constant fear and frustration of fighting a war that "the powers that be" would not let them win.
Sent to Vietnam to report on the conflict, Scott "Journal" Neithammer expects to do no more than produce another sterilized war report. However, he soon realizes that, "the real story was in the bush with the slime, the stink, the constant fear and frustration." Each episode is a mix of the absurd and horrific as Journal befriends an ever-changing cast of doomed soldiers. As he confronts the death, illogic, and contradiction around him, he becomes as conflicted as the war itself, finally losing his journalistic objectivity in a fit of frustrated rage. The black-and-white artwork is powerful, and Journal's world is a rumpled fusion of realism and caricature. Particularly moving are the few instances where a single image fills the page.
VIETNAM JOURNAL, the comic, was introduced by Apple Comics in 1987.
Vietnam War veteran Don Lomax created Scott “Journal” Neithammer who wants to tell the "truth" about Vietnam. Much like Lomax Journal is also a war veteran of the Korean War. Soon Journal discovers that there are many different versions of truth and that some are safer to tell than others.
Soon though, Journal realizes it’s impossible to remain a noncombatant in this war. At times equally funny and horrifying, one can really feel the authors hand desperately wanted to tell the reader his story.
There is no better person than Lomax to tell this story. He was drafted into the Army in the fall of l965 at the age of 21, took basic at Fort Knox, AIT at Aberdeen, Maryland and was shipped out to Vietnam in the fall of 1966 on the USS General John Pope. At times it seems like the self taught Lomax was destined to tell this story in comic book form. Growing up, he was a huge fan of war comics like Blazing Combat and Two-Fisted Tales which is why his art has that EC-inflected style.

Detailing the saga of the African American Hero introduced in the nineties! Published by Dark Angel Productions in 1996!
Blackjack is Aaron Day, the son of a mercenary who died in 1923 at the hands of the Cobra, a charismatic Middle Eastern cult leader and rebel warrior. Sworn to avenge the deaths of his parents and his uncle, Blackjack makes the pursuit of the Cobra his life’s work in this well-written and gorgeously illustrated series from Alex Simmons and Joe Bennett (The Amazing Spider-Man). A nice mix of elements that bring to mind such high-adventure concepts as 1930s movie serials, Milton Caniff’s “Terry and the Pirates,” Steven Spielberg and George Lucas’s “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” and even Randy Reynaldo’s Rob Hanes. Blackjack is also notable for its focus on an African-American hero in a genre dominated by white protagonists.
Excerpt of an interview with creator Alex Simmons...
"So how about a black adventurer, ‘cause then you can see the 30’s and 40’s from that perspective, and it would make the stories more interesting for me to write. And then the more I worked on the character of Aaron Day, the history and his origin and all of that, the more I would do some research to make sure I wasn’t going too far afield of reality. I mean, it was certainly going to be a fictional character, but what would support this?
By the time I finished the character, I’d discovered that there had been, for lack of a better word, an adventurer, known as a Black Sparrow. His real name was Eugene Bullard. As a matter of fact, it’s in the back of this. [Reaches for my copy of Blackjack: Blood & Honor and turns to the back.] I discovered him after I had created the character and I went, my god. So not only did I believe it was possible, but now I’m seeing that somebody had some adventures like this. He flew in World War One for the French, and he’s an American. He escaped from the United States because he got tired of the KKK visiting his house. And he was a young lad, not even 14 when he took off from Mississippi, and he worked his way to the coastline, he stowed away on a German freighter and he dropped in Europe. He worked his way across Europe, doing all kinds of odd jobs including boxing and things like that, until he wound up in France during the first World War, and got himself in the first Air Force. And it goes on from there, the different things he was involved in and the people he knew [like] Josephine Baker and a number of the people of that Renaissance period. But I thought, this is reality, and I did my fictional character, and now I feel even better about having created Aaron Day, because now I am gonna be able to bring people’s attention to folks that really did those things."

However, the comic book version was virtually unnoticed. The werewolf is Eric Cord. Cord is asked by a friend to kill him, claiming that a werewolf had bitten him. When Cord demands proof, his buddy transforms into the creature and attacks him. Cord grants him his wish, but it is too late: He has inherited the curse. Cord is then wanted for murder with a bounty hunter on his trail.

ARMY OF DARKNESS VERSUS MARVEL ZOMBIES COMIC BOOK.
COLLECTOR'S ITEM! RARE and OUT OF PRINT! Impossible to find!
ASH WILLIAMS THE WISE CRACKING HERO OF THE EVIL DEAD/ARMY OF DARKNESS TRILOGY RETURNS IN THIS ALL NEW COMIC BOOK STORYLINE PITTING HIM AGAINST ZOMBIE MARVEL SUPERHEROES! The cross-over no one asked for -- or expected -- is finally here! Too big for the movie of television screen, Dynamite and Marvel presents the ultimate "Why Not?" tale as Ash and Army of Darkness/Evil Dead meets undead versions of SPIDERMAN, CAPTAIN AMERICA, THE AVENGERS, THE PUNISHER, THE X-MEN and many more MARVEL SUPERHEROES that have been ZOMBIFIED.
With lavish, full color artwork printed on high quality glossy paper! Writer John Layman says... “It is absolutely a Marvel Zombies story, and it is absolutely an Army of Darkness story. Fortunately, I think there is a lot of overlap, because they both contain a generous (even excessive) heaping of humor with horror, comedy with the grotesque. This is a story of a guy who is used to fighting the undead, who is used to being a hero, flung into a strange universe full of heroes …heroes who are not only all crazed flesh-eating zombies, but ones with hundreds of different crazy super-powers.
“How's a guy with a chainsaw, a shotgun, and a smart mouth supposed to survive that?”
That said, Layman told us it’s also a typical AoD story in that it shows Ash facing “impossible odds, and up against horrific adversaries”…
“But for Marvel Zombies fans, it's another look into the hilariously twisted world of man-eating zombie superheroes,” Layman explained, “shown from almost a Marvels-style man-on-the-street perspective as the infection spreads out of control. Only, in this case, the man-on-the-street happens to be Ashley J. Williams, vanquisher of the Necromonmicon's Army of Darkness, who defeated evil in several different millennia in several different realities. Now he's in the Marvel U. It's him and his chainsaw vs. hundred of zombie superheroes...

An issue of the original TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLE Indie/Underground Comic Book created by KEVIN EASTMAN and PETER LAIRD, with a great Full Color Cover by CORBEN!

J Jonah Jameson (of Spiderman) sends Daily Bugle reporter Ben Urich out to cover the story of the TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES!
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!

GEORGE A ROMERO'S EPIC ZOMBIE SAGA.
BASED ON THE NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD!!!
Hauting painted artwork. Zombies, zombies, and more zombies! George A. Romero's classic fright flicks Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead redefined zombies for modern audiences.
Gorey and Frightening! Like the films themselves.
Katro’s artwork is haunting at times and perfect for the unsettling imagery of the undead killing the living and the black & white artwork is a perfect compliment to the film. Some of the images are even more haunting on the page then in the film. I was reminiscing about the great artwork from the EC Comics era and how much Katro’s work mirrors that.
Based on the original screenplay by George A. Romero & John Russo this is a testament to great storytelling not only through words but through pictures and art. It delves into a lot of the back story of the characters that is just hinted at in the film.
It had a very low print run as an indie comic book.

Richard Corben’s first two Den stories, “Neverwhere” and “Muvovum,” appeared in Heavy Metal. Den is an Earthman who finds himself stranded on a barbaric fantasy world full of monsters and wizards. This self-published series presents part three of the Den saga. In it, Den searches for his missing lover, Kath, meeting characters from the previous stories in a tale which also encompasses a parallel quest for magical stones of power owned by an evil wizard. There’s an almost photographic feel to Corben’s drawing, which is strangely at odds with the grotesques that populate his strips. The strong coloring and lettering styles play an important role, producing an unsettling overall effect on the artwork. Apart from Den itself there is usually at least one backup strip, including interesting examples of Corben’s early work

Den searches for his missing lover, Kath, meeting characters from the previous stories in a tale which also encompasses a parallel quest for magical stones of power owned by an evil wizard. There’s an almost photographic feel to Corben’s drawing, which is strangely at odds with the grotesque monsters that populate his strips. The strong coloring and lettering styles play an important role, producing a sexy moodiness in the artwork.
Den continues his search for his one true love, the beautiful Kath, but first he must face the dangers of floating air fortress of his arch-nemesis. Plot, illustrations, and color by Corben and script by Simon Revelstroke. Includes a back-up story by Corben, representing the underground classic "Encounter at War" for the first time in full color.
RICHARD CORBEN (b. 1940) is one of the best-known fantasy artists in the world. In 1970 he self-published FANTAGOR, a science fiction/horror comic, and later worked on Underground comix such as SLOW DEATH. In the early '70s he drew many stories for the Warren line (CREEPY, EERIE, VAMPIRELLA), and finally came Métal Hurlant, the French magazine released in America as HEAVY METAL, for whom Corben did many memorable stories.

HARD TO FIND COLLECTORS ITEM. FOR FANS OF HP LOVECRAFT AND THE CTHULHU MYTHOS!
Based around H.P. Lovecraft's "Necronomicon," the religious text featured in dozens of Lovecraft's short stories and novellas.
Now that the Necronomicon has been opened, writer William Messner-Loebs reveals the origins of the forbidden book of legend - and how its catastrophic influence will soon spread.
NECRONOMICON follows the story of Henry Said, an Arabic college student in 1920s Arkham, Mass. who is hired by cultists to find the forbidden tome and obtain the dark powers of old. In the course of his adventures, Henry travels the world as he traces the footsteps of the Necronomicon's writer, Abdul Alhazard, and makes a... dark discovery.
The fate of the world hangs in the balance as a lowly college student must fight to keep the Necronomicon's magic from unleashing the vengeance of the Old Ones - and turning the entire Middle East into a raging cauldron of mystical power that will rule the Earth!
Lovecraft's works have frightened and inspired generations of fantasy and horror readers, and NECRONOMICON will bring the same horrific adventures fans know and love in the way that only BOOM! can deliver.
"Lovecraft believed - and he was right - that the scariest things are those least understood. Thus he kept everything as vague as he could - the mythos, the monsters, even the horrid and grisly fates of his heroes,"
Gruesome interior art by Andrew Ritchie and scream-inducing covers by J.K. Woodward.

ADAM HUGHES SEXY PAINTED COVER FEATURING INVISIBLE WOMAN AND NAMOR!!!
For fans of ADAM HUGHES! This is a fantastic magazine featuring a sexy cover by ADAM HUGHES!
Blame it on Sports Illustrated, if you like. Their annual swimsuit special transports a crew of models to exotic beaches to model minimal swimwear. Not surprisingly, the swimsuit special sells far more than any other issue of the magazine.
In 1992, Marvel decided to copy SI’s success by launching their own swimsuit special. This all-pinup book features scantily clad heroes, both male and female, as rendered by some of the finest artists in the business. These include the brothers Hildebrandt, Joe Jusko, P. Craig Russell, and countless others.
Many decry the obvious use of sex appeal to sell comics. On the upside, these specials did attract at least a few female readers—even if they were writing in to gush over the scantily clad physique of Thor.
