The final volume of the Silver Age Batman Newspaper
Comics features a veritable Who’s Who of Gotham City and beyond: Superman,
Green Arrow, The Penguin, Joker, Mad Hatter, Riddler, Scarecrow, Tweedledum and
Tweedledee, Two-Face, Catwoman, Batgirl, Killer Moth, Poison Ivy, and Black
Canary, plus the introduction of the mysterious Man-Bat! And if that wasn’t
enough, included are the four months of rare 1972 strips that were created by
the Ledger Syndicate, without DC’s input, in which Batman was no longer featured,
although Bruce Wayne continued as a character. Batman expert Joe Desris
explains it all in an insightful introduction. This book includes all strips
from June 1, 1969 through April 29, 1972.

Will “The World’s Greatest Cartoonist” get a chance to
prove his worth? And if so, will the public take into their hearts an orphan
character with the unlikely name of “Little Widget, the Waif”? That may be the
least of Annie’s worries as she finds herself caught between spies and
counterspies in an adventure that reprises the quest for “Daddy” Warbucks’
atomic bomb formula! And if that weren’t enough, the inscrutable Joe Christmas
enters the picture, the mysterious Mr. Am returns, and Annie comes face to face
with the man she most likely fears more than any other—the deadly criminal
named Axel! Volume Thirteen of The Complete Little Orphan Annie reprints all
daily and Sunday strips from January 12, 1947 to August 18, 1948.

Red Barry was one of the most visually innovative
adventure strips of the mid-1930s, combining fluid brushwork and noir shadows
(in bold blues and purples) with figures that were constantly in motion, plus a
level of violence that brought cries of protest from its syndicate. Red Barry
and Secret Agent X-9 were King Features’ answers to the Tribune Syndicate’s
popular Dick Tracy by Chester Gould. While X-9 continued for decades under
hands of various quality, Red Barry by Will Gould (no relation to Chester) was
an auteur’s vision that lasted less than four years (primarily because Gould
couldn’t meet his deadlines). Regardless, it is today considered one of comics
history’s great unsung masterpieces, one which famed mystery writer Anthony
Boucher said was “the only detectives strip…worthy of any consideration from my
scholarly viewpoint.” This two-volume series will reprint the complete dailies
and color Sundays.

From the early 1950s through the late ’80s, the Disney
studio created Sunday comics adaptations of more than 120 of their animated and
live-action films that were currently in movie theaters. The chronological
all-star line-up in this first volume is an almost embarrassment of riches: the
animated Peter Pan, Lady and the Tramp, Peter and the Wolf, and two pre-cursers
to the series, Cinderella and Alice in Wonderland! The live-action adaptations
are: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Robin Hood, The Sword and the Rose, Ben and
Me, and Rob Roy. Disney stalwarts Manuel Gonzales and Dick Moores drew the
cartoon adaptations, while the live-action stories were illustrated by
legendary Tarzan artist Jesse Marsh!
