MARVEL COMICS PUBLISHED THE VERY FIRST COMIC BOOK APPEARANCE OF DAVID LETTERMAN IN 1980's.
Perhaps you've been following the David Letterman extortion/sex scandal. Perhaps you caught his on-air mea culpa, where the late night host apologized to his wife, his staff, and even Sarah Palin.
But there's one more person to whom David Letterman owes an apology: A poor, hapless supervillain whom he publicly shamed on his NBC "Late Night" show way back in 1984.
You see, David Letterman once hit the Mechano-Marauder with a giant doorknob. Spoiled brat techno-wiz, Fabian Stankowicz (Mechano-Marauder, a joke villain from issues 217 and 221), has a new plan for getting revenge on The Avengers. Upon learning that Wonder Man’s agent has arranged for a number of Avengers, plus Hawkeye who’s currently on active-duty, to appear on the David Letterman Show, Fabian sneaks and rigs the studio with his gadgets, before showtime. During the show, The Avengers are attacked by a ray-beam camera, heat-seeking missiles, and a omnium steel, gravimetrically powered steamroller. While The Avengers are thus occupied, Fabian invites himself to sit in the guest’s seat, where he gloats to David Letterman and the home audience, about what he’s doing and how he’s doing it. The Black Widow makes a try for Fabian, but he has a force-field around himself and his celebrity interviewer. The Avengers wreck the gadgets, and since David Letterman is the only one inside the force-field with Fabian, it’s up to him to knock out the bad guy. He does it with an oversized doorknob. Boink!

Lovecraft lives! From the writing team behind the hit Zombie Tales series comes a collection of six different tales of dark, cosmic horror.

At its most intense, it tells harrowing tales of horror filled with insanity, in keeping with Lovecraft's original works.

These terrifying tales are written by today's hottest writers including: the creator of the Sci-Fi Network TV show EUREKA - Andrew Cosby, EUREKA staff writer Johanna Stokes, TRANSFORMERS THE MOVIE screenwriter John Rogers.
Featuring the most brilliant roster of artists compiled anywhere, Cthulhu Tales is a primal journey into a dark arena of horror.
SUPERMAN MAN OF STEEL #1 SILVER INK LOGO VARIANT EDITION. COLLECTORS EDITION FIRST ISSUE COMIC BOOK.
Featuring the origin of SUPERMAN!
This 1986 series began a major overhaul of the Superman legend. Artist/writer John Byrne retold the origin of Superman, only this time, the Man of Steel was different. As a baby Kal-El was still sent off into space, escaping the destruction of the planet Krypton. Only this time, he was the only escapee. Kara (Supergirl) and the assorted people in the bottle city of Kandor didn’t make it. The stories featuring them were said to have happened in another reality—giving us, in effect, retroactive continuity.
And there’s more: Superman never really discovered his powers until he was nearly 18, thus the adventures of Superboy never took place (and led to the TV series SMALLVILLE). And, even now that he’s Superman, his powers are nowhere near the level they were in the stories of yore. This new “Superman of the 80s” came as a shock to many fans, but it ultimately laid the groundwork for a new level of characterization.

This is the RARE original 1990 published version of Gaiman's BOOKS OF MAGIC, and was never sold in any mass market retail outlets. It was only available to purchase through comic book specialty shops.
Written by NEIL GAIMAN (Sandman, Coraline, Neverwhere, American Gods, Books of Magic, Black Orchid, Miracleman).
This squarebound book is in brand new condition and measures approx 6.5" x 10" inches, and is printed on high quality paper to enhance the delicate and beautifully painted artwork.
Book Description From one of the most highly recognised and award winning comic writers on the scene today, Neil Gaiman (Sandman, Death, Violent Cases), and his collaborator, innovative artist Bo Hampton, comes a haunting and stylish exploration of a young boy taken on a journey through time to discover his magical destiny. Timothy Hunter is just like any other thirteen-year-old boy in London . . . except for the tiny fact that he might be the most powerful magician of his time.
A quartet of fallen mystics dubbed the "Trench Coat Brigade" is introduced in this first collection of the adventures of Timothy Hunter. John Constanine, the Phantom Stranger, Dr. Occult and Mister E take Hunter on a tour of the magical realms. Along the way he's introduced to the greatest practitioners of magic and must choose whether or not to join their ranks.
Long before Harry Potter went to Hogwarts, a young English lad in glasses learned of magic from the pen of Neil Gaiman.
Timothy Hunter, a fairly typical, aimless 12-year-old boy, meets a quartet of mysterious, powerful men who show him worlds beyond understanding. Possibly destined to be the greatest magician of his age, Tim is exposed to wonders and possibilities, alternate realities and the end of all existence.
His guides on the journey are the so-called "trenchcoat brigade" -- the Phantom Stranger, Dr. Occult, John "Hellblazer" Constantine and the sightless Mister E -- although other magical luminaries, from Dr. Fate to Zatanna, will chime in from time to time. His adventures take him from Faerie to Hell and many dimensions in between, from the start of time to the final curtain. He'll see the beauty and ugliness of magic, discover the power of names and the consequences of gifts. He'll meet Death before his time, and he'll learn a little bit more about trust and betrayal. The Books of Magic is still a delightful, eye-opening story about magical potential. Gaiman, who was already deep into his Sandman mythos by this time, unleashed a new force on the world of comics with this book, which quickly became a successful, ongoing Vertigo series.
About the Author Neil Gaiman wrote the award-winning graphic novel series The Sandman, and with Terry Pratchett, the award-winning novel Good Omens. His first book for children, The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish, illustrated by Dave McKean, hasn't yet won any awards, but was one of Newsweek's Best Children's Books of 1997. Angels & Visitations, a small press story collection, was nominated for a World Fantasy Award and won the International Horror Critics Guild Award for Best Collection, despite not having any horror in it. Well, hardly any.Born in England, he now makes his home in America, in a big dark house of uncertain location where he grows exotic pumpkins and accumulates computers and cats. He is currently at work turning his first novel Neverwhere into a film for Jim Henson films.
