It features retro-style nostalgia packaging and can be removed and returned to the resealable clam-shell style packaging for additional protection and durability. Fans and collectors can re-live the fun from a bygone era!
THE GAME IS AFOOT!
Disclaimer:
Because this is a PROTOTYPE Action Figure, it is meant for display purposes only, for the grown-up collector. Not meant for children to play with. Handle with care, it may be more fragile than the final production figure.

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA BARBARIAN COMIC BOOK SEXY PALIN!
BARACK THE BARBARIAN COMIC BOOK! PRESIDENT OBAMA SPOOF!
Winning the 2008 Presidential election, Barack Obama has made history.
Written by LARRY HAMA, the creator of GI JOE A REAL AMERICAN HERO, and editor of the classic CONAN THE BARBARIAN comic books!
It features the Democrat leader as the muscle-bound, loincloth-wearing president. He takes on his Nemesis, scantily clad, former Republican vice presidential candidate Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, who sports a cape made from wolf skin and her trademark glasses – and very little else.
From a far away land rises a mighty hero. The son of peasants from two different realms, the one known only as Barak protects the people of Hope Kingdom at all costs.
According to THE MADDOWIAN CHRONICLES he was the one destined to save the great republic of America and dethrone the overpaid despots of the time. Join Barack, Sorceress Hilaria, her demi-god trickster husband Biil, Overlord Boosh and Chainknee of the Elephant Kingdom. Who can the lone barbarian trust, if anyone?
Barack escapes from the horrific Pit of Punditry and battles his way past eldritch threats and byzantine obstacles to reach the pinnacle of the Elephant Tower whilst The Old Warrior and Red Sarah nip at his heels. At the top of the tower Boosh and his evil vizier cast down spells and aspersions.
Larry Hama (G.I. Joe, Wolverine) takes political satire to a whole new level. Hama, will take a look at the current state of politics both past and present and isn't afraid to point fun at Washinton's sacred cows. In the distant future the story of Barack Obama has become a little... distorted.

Threat condition RED! Trillion-dollar deficits, machine gun-toting soccer moms, money-hungry contractors and flesh-hungry super soldiers led by 200 years' worth of undead Presidents! Can we stop this new national nightmare? YES WE CAN! It's time to set aside our partisan differences and petty bickering and unite behind 'Ba-rot' Obama, the one man that can bring hope to our troubled shores. When the outgoing administration's plan to shore up our depleted military's troop numbers goes awry, Washington D.C. Becomes ground zero for all-you-can-eat action, destruction, and some change you can believe in!
Your source for scare and unbalanced news! In the wake of Obama's assault on the undead presidents, the survivors are reeling and the press want answers! With the government and military in tatters, Bill O'Smiley and Crush Limbo take to the airwaves and declare themselves de facto leaders of the people. Now the C-I-C of an army of zombies, will Obama use his trump card to bring peace at last, or will he plunge us into a true American nightmare?

VINTAGE DOCTOR WHO COMIC BOOK!
OUT OF PRINT. HARD TO FIND COLLECTOR'S ITEM FOR FANS OF THE BRITISH SCIENCE FICTION ADVENTURE TV SERIES DOCTOR WHO!
MARVEL PREMIERE #60.
This was one of the first issues of Marvel Comics North America Doctor Who Comic Books published in 1981. Includes an essay on Doctor who exploring his villains and companions, with all new pinups and illustrations by Walt Simonson featuring Leela, The Doctor (Tom Baker) and Romana, Sarah Jane, UNIT members Sgt Benton, The Brigadier and Harry, the Zygons, and Peter Davidson as the newly announced Doctor of the time.
Featuring the artwork of Dave (Watchmen) Gibbons for the first time in color!
Inspired by the longest-running science-fiction show in television history, Doctor Who spins new tales of the world’s favorite Timelord, as presented in Britain’s “Doctor Who Magazine.”
Traveling across time in his slightly-malfunctioning T.A.R.D.I.S. (a time machine that looks, in the Doctor’s case, like a blue police box), the Doctor constantly finds himself pitted against evil monsters of all shapes and sizes.
Intelligent and eccentric, this series mirrors the personality of the Doctor himself. It’s a must for any Doctor Who fan.

The Book of Heroes is an ancient magic tome that empowers those with the potential for greatness. (Your player character?) In times of fear and darkness the Book is said to appear to make sure the forces of evil don’t get the upper hand. The Minion War™ is such a dark time, as the forces of Hell ripple across the Megaverse, bringing death and destruction. Are the legends true?

Only one copy of the book is known to exist, and everyone wants to get their hands on it – good guys and bad (demons, Deevils, the Splugorth, the Dominators, the Kreeghor, etc.). According to legend, he who controls the Book of Heroes and wields the “Power of the Two Thousand” can rule the universe. The book has been missing for millennia.

Ghost is on her sister Margo's trail, leading her to a confrontation with some paranormals in "Arcadia Nocturne 1" Ghost and martial-arts mystic King Tiger face a mysterious entity
Corrupted by organized crime, corporate robber barons, and dishonest leaders, Arcadia is a film-noir city with an eclectic cast of characters, including men in fedora hats and extraterrestrials with psionic powers. In this city, reporter Elisa Cameron followed her leads to uncover an amazing news story—and paid for it with her life.

HAT SQUAD GRAPHIC NOVEL LAPD MULHULLAND FALLS TRUE CRIME
THE HAT SQUAD Graphic Novel
RARE AND OUT OF PRINT COLLECTOR'S ITEM.
Featuring lavish full color artwork printed on high quality paper.
Published by Moonstone in 2002.
the Hat Squad actually existed. They were a group of LAPD homicide detectives operating in the fifties who wore fedoras, stuck together and believed firmly that the rights of criminals could be dealt with through the delicate persuasion of broken bones and split lips. They're the kind of police officers, who though honest to a fault, Elliot Ness--though no choirboy himself-- may have arrested out of principle.
Mr. Faerber finds a new home for the Hats in comic books. A very slight romanticization sees our heroes mowing through the type of sleazy fifties gangsters immortalized in such movies as Chinatown. The members of the Hat Squad were the stars of film Mullholland Falls as well as a short-lived television series.

UNDERTAKER PROMO COMIC BOOK WWF WWE KANE PAUL BEARER!!
THE UNDERTAKER #0 PROMOTIONAL COMIC BOOK
This item was not available in any mass market retail outlets and could only be found as a promotional item inside Wizard Magazine.
OUT OF PRINT. HARD TO FIND FIRST ISSUE COLLECTOR'S ITEM FEATURING THE UNDERTAKER.
Did you know THE UNDERTAKER starred in his very own comic book? Also featuring KANE and PAUL BEARER.
Much of the World Wrestling Federation’s backdrop borrows from the epic good vs. evil plot of standard super-hero comics. So it is only natural that they make a foray into this classic, four-color medium. The latest endeavor for the WWF features the grim and gruesome Undertaker.
We quickly learn that the Undertaker is the sole guardian of Stygian, Hell’s prison. He seeks to gain all three Books of the Dead, of which he currently holds the third volume, to keep control of his chaotic dungeon. His quest takes him to the squared-circle of the wrestling arena where he battles those demons in human guise that have escaped his realm.

FRIDAY THE 13TH COMIC BOOK JASON VORHEES GOES TO HELL!!
FRIDAY THE 13TH JASON GOES TO HELL COMIC BOOK.
COLLECTOR'S ITEM
FEATURING THE "FINAL" ADVENTURE OF JASON VORHEES... (until they shot him into space, had him fight Freddy and then rebooted the movie series)
Friday the Thirteenth was a horror movie that virtually defined the “slasher movie” genre. Its gruesome star was Jason Vorhees, a relentless hockey mask-wearing killer with an insatiable appetite for killing camping teenagers in Crystal Lake. After what seems like countless sequels, we at last come to what is billed as “The Final Friday.”
The story begins when a beautiful woman moves into a cabin on Crystal Lake. Naturally, Jason appears out of nowhere to kill her, but this time the surprise is on him. The woman was an FBI agent sent to lure Jason into the open. He is cornered, and in a spectacular rain of bullets and explosives, is apparently killed.
But as anyone knows, it’s hard to keep a bad man down. A coroner becomes fascinated with his still-beating heart and inexplicably…eats it. He then becomes possessed by Jason—the first of many as Jason seeks his unearthly revenge!
This is an extremely rare issue, published by Topps Comics in 1993.
Highly sought after.

MARVEL-OUS COMICS ON CITY HEROES
By ETHAN SACKS DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER
Monday, June 3th 2002, 1:80AM
Need to foil a megalomaniacal supervillain? Call Spider-Man.
Need to stop an evil mutant out to enslave the human race? Get hold of the X-Men.
Need to put out a raging fire or put down a crack-adled gunman holding hostages?
That's a job for real heroes.
Marvel Comics is betting there is plenty of room in the post-Sept. 11 superhero world for inspiring stories about New York's firefighters, police officers and EMS workers.
The comics' publisher will release "The Call of Duty: The Brotherhood," focusing on FDNY firefighters. It is the first of three six-issue miniseries that will focus on real-life New York City heroes.
"There's a real fever to see these kinds of people and heroes immortalized in our type of storytelling," said Joe Quesada, Marvel's editor in chief.
Quesada and his staff are trying to keep the story lines secret. However, "The Brotherhood" closely follows the exploits of several fictional firefighters as they respond to emergencies, both big and small, around the city.
But because the stories take place in superhero land, there are hints of the supernatural.
For example, "The Brotherhood" opens in the middle of a raging townhouse fire. One of the firefighters notices a little girl in the midst of the flames but mysteriously unaffected by them. When the firefighter tries to rescue her, she disappears.
Veteran comics writer Chuck Austen, 40, of California, wrote "The Brotherhood" script. He did extensive research on FDNY procedures and lore and spent time with Engine 228 in Brooklyn and one of its officers, Lt. Richard Smith, the father of a Marvel Comics editor.
From his association with Lt. Smith and his men, Austen got a clear sense of just how tight-knit a community firefighters have.
For his part, Smith, a 24-year veteran of the department, has no fear in the way Marvel might be potraying firefighters.
"The way they're treating [the subject] and the recognition they're giving the firefighters in New York City, I think it celebrates [the profession]," Smith said

ADVANCED DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS
DRAGONLANCE #1 COMIC BOOK!
RARE and OUT OF PRINT. HARD TO FIND COLLECTOR'S ITEM FOR FANS OF THE FANTASY ROLE PLAYING GAME.
The first issue of a comic book published in 1988 by DC Comics and TSR.
Includes character and item statistics for Sturm Brightblade (8th Level Fighter), Magic Item: Medallion of Majere, and Magic Item: Dragonlance.
Long ago, the world of Krynn fell victim to the Cataclysm. That fiery event reshaped the landscape and marked the rise of evil. Today, the dread Lord Soth and his undead Deathknights threaten to crush the world under their thumb. They have also brought back dragons, terrible fire breathing monsters not seen for ages.
Luckily, there are still those who stand against them. A few of the old Solamnic Knights, warriors in the service of the god Paladine, still survive. These are joined by a group of heroes which include spellcasters, thieves, clerics, and warriors. Aiding them in their fight against evil is a mighty artifact of the previous age: the Dragonlance. This magical weapon was enchanted to make it especially effective against dragons and evil creatures. Because of this, it is the weapon that Soth and his minions fear the most.
Featuring lavish full color artwork.
