I LOVE LUCY 2 Comic Books. #1 & #2 HARD TO FIND COLLECTORS ITEMS FOR THE FANS OF THE TELEVISION SERIES!
I Love Lucy was one of the first indisputable hits of the then-new television medium in the early 1950s. Starring the real-life married couple, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnez, as Lucy and Ricky Ricardo, with perennial sidekicks William Frawley and Vivian Vance as friends and neighbors, Fred and Ethel Mertz, this comical battle of the sexes went on to virtual immortality via its continuous presence in reruns.
Its popularity lead to a daily comic strip by writer Lawrence Nadel and artist Bob Oksner under the byline Bob Lawrence. Oksner was able to portray a genuine likeness of the characters, (an absolutely necessary component when a strip is based on real people), with his deceptively simple style. Bob Oksner would become familiar to comic fans as the artist for The Adventures of Jerry Lewis and sometimes Supergirl (1st Series) and Superman’s Girl Friend Lois Lane in the 1970s.
In 1990 Eternity Comics collected the newspaper strips and reprinted them in a landscape format

SHERLOCK HOLMES VS DRACULA #1 SCARLET IN GASLIGHT COMIC BOOK
COLLECTORS ITEM FIRST ISSUE.
Two of literature’s most prominent characters meet in this black-and-white tale of horror. Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous detective Sherlock Holmes, and the ever-present Dr. Watson, are drawn into an adventure beyond anything they have ever experienced when they face the timeless evil of Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
Investigating a young woman’s mysterious illness, Holmes and Watson find her already under the care of Dr. Van Helsing, whose methods at first seem very odd. But when the two detectives find themselves battling her demonic attacker, they barely manage to survive. Unfortunately, the supremely logical mind of Sherlock Holmes is unable to reconcile his concept of reality with the obviously supernatural nature of his vampiric enemy. It appears that Dracula will have free rein to terrorize London, unless Watson and Van Helsing can bring Holmes back from the edge of insanity.

Fantastic comic book series featuring CAPTAIN HARLOCK! Published by Eternity Comics in 1990.
Captain Harlock is an American interpretation of Leiji Matsumoto’s classic anime hero. Harlock is an ex-starship commander who refuses to lay down his arms when Earth surrenders to an alien invasion fleet.
The character of Emeraldas is taken from the manga series, Captain Harlock. Emeraldas is the leader of a band of rebels who refuse to give up their freedom to the tyrannical Illumidas Empire. The Illumidas are warmongers who have control of most of the known galaxy. Emeraldas fights a never-ending battle against what seem to be impossible odds. Still, this strong leader fights with a will which instills hope in her followers.
As this series begins, Emeraldas finds herself mixed-up in an adventure involving Miantir, daughter of the leader of Eden, a land that is blessedly capable of supporting plant life. Miantir and her father do not get along because she is in love with a man named Jude, a visionary who believes that peace is possible. Emeraldas ends up fighting both of these men’s battles against the Illumidas.

CAPTAIN HARLOCK 4 COMIC BOOKS. MACHINE PEOPLE #1, #2, #3 and #4. Complete.
RARE VINTAGE MANGA COMIC BOOKS.
Fantastic comic book series featuring CAPTAIN HARLOCK! Published by Eternity Comics in 1989.
Captain Harlock is an American interpretation of Leiji Matsumoto’s classic anime hero. Harlock is an ex-starship commander who refuses to lay down his arms when Earth surrenders to an alien invasion fleet. The first series concerns Harlock’s past associations and current attempts to liberate Earth from the Illumidas occupation force, and re-instill a sense of worth in the physically and spiritually defeated human population.
A major theme resonating through the entirety of the canon is that as long as the Tree of Freedom has strong roots, no matter how far they spread, liberty will bloom again.
The supporting cast includes Emeraldas the pirate Queen, who becomes embroiled in the war against the Illumidas, Baron Darghund, Harlock’s boyhood friend and rival, and Alexander Nevich, finishing construction of the Deathshadow, a ship that will obliterate Harlock’s Arcadia. These comic books were never available to the mass market and were only sold in comic book specialty shops.

It is a desperate time for Harlock and the others, their battles brutal and deadly, and many do not survive to see the outcome of their struggle. At what point does the price of victory become too high, the cost of freedom too much bear?

Designed as a high-security resort, Belmont seems to be the perfect place to start over. For ten years, Belmont prospers and grows, and becomes a focal point for rebuilding civilization.
Then Scott Bernard, a charismatic war hero, returns and shatters the tranquil harmony that had existed.
While most Robotech stories focused on recounting the war, this bold attempt shows the consequences of war on the people involved.

RARE and OUT OF PRINT COLLECTORS ITEM. SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s brilliant, eccentric detective Sherlock Holmes has been adapted numerous times in books, plays, movies, television, and comic books. One of the first graphic treatments of the character was by illustrator Leo O’Mealia during the 1930s. O’Mealia’s pulpbook, black-and-white, drypoint style was supplemented with blocks of typeset text from the actual Sherlock Holmes stories, making the strip more of an illustrated narrative than a comic strip per se.
Eternity, a division of Malibu Comics, reprinted the stories in a series of handsome, 32-page, black-and-white issues, with the participation of the San Francisco Academy of Comic Art. Each features a complete story of Holmes and his faithful friend Dr. Watson solving crimes through observation and deduction. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

UNCENSORED MOUSE #1 COMIC BOOK!! The series reprinted Mickey Mouse comics from the 1930s, though the strips were published without Disney's permission. As result of this, Eternity Comics printed the comic with totally black covers, bag and boarded (to prevent casual buyers from flipping through the comic), and the inside of the comic had a printed notice "Mickey Mouse is a registered trademark of Walt Disney Productions" so as not to confuse the market that it was an authorized Disney production. However, Eternity Comics had not violated any copyrights due to the fact that strips had fallen into public domain. Regardless, Disney brought a lawsuit against the company and the series was cancelled after two issues.
The strips were reprinted un-cut and as such contained racial stereotypes, language, and other things deemed inappropriate. Content such as this was more commonplace when the strip was first puplished in the 1930s.
Once upon a time (actually early 1989), the Mailbu Graphics group (Scott Rosenberg, Dave Olbrich, Tom Mason, Chris Ulm) was publishing the Eternity Comics line of independent black and white comic books.
Eternity Comics were able to reprint many of these classic comic strips thanks to the collections of the San Francisco Academy of Comic Art. The San Francisco Academy of Comic Art Collection was the life work of author and collector Bill Blackbeard.
Many of the classic comic strip collections published in the last thirty years are thanks to Bill Blackbeard's accumulation efforts which resulted in a source for some of the only existing copies of American comic strips. Supposedly, Blackbeard's research revealed that the copyright on the early MICKEY MOUSE comic strip had not been maintained and of course, Malibu Graphics thought this was a wonderful opportunity.
So Malibu Graphics through its Eternity Comics line would reprint the earliest MICKEY MOUSE comic strips under the title THE UNCENSORED MOUSE.
Each issue would have a totally black cover and no where on the cover or the backcover would there be a mention of "Mickey Mouse." There would be references to "a classic collection of Uncensored Floyd Gottfredson Comic Strips From the 1930s." Inside the comic book, there would be the notice that "Mickey Mouse is a registered trademark of Walt Disney Productions" to demonstrate that they were not trying to challenge that fact. In addition, each issue would be bagged and sealed so that a casual buyer couldn't flip through the comic book and mistake it for a Disney comic book. Basically, Malibu tried to do everything to indicate that while it may have had the right to publish the early comic strip, it was not intending to confuse the marketplace that this was an authorized Disney production.
Bill Blackbeard wrote a wonderful introduction for the first issue entitled "How Walt Disney Gave A Mickey to America-and Floyd Gottfredson Gave Us A Classic Mouse." That first issue was also supplemented with some great extras like reproductions of an OAKLAND POST-ENQUIRER (the nation's only newspaper to carry the strip from its start) page featuring the comic strip, the first Mickey Mouse Sunday page, a publicity drawing by Gottfredson for a 1936 issue of the HONOLULU ADVERTISER and more.

In late 1988, Eternity brought out this new edition of the Robotech saga, set ten years after the conclusion of the Macross Saga.
Rick Hunter, hero of the first series, is about to marry Lisa Hayes, admiral and captain of the new SDF-3 space fortress. This ship is being sent to the Robotech Masters’ home planet on a diplomatic mission. In actuality, the ship is loaded with the most-advanced Mecha technology available—just in case the diplomatic mission doesn’t work out.
But unknown to all, the Robotech Masters’ home planet was under siege by Invid shock troopers. Within hours the world was all but destroyed, and the last scientists fled to underground refuges. Unless a miracle happens, they, and their knowledge of Protoculture technology, will fall into the hands of these dread alien invaders.
This series helps to bridge the gap between the storylines, events and characters seen in ROBOTECH MASTERS and NEW GENERATION.
