The Undead: A young woman discovers an obituary for her living husband.<br />
Alive in the Grave: Seeing a man collapse in an alley, our hero rushes to help only to find that the man is dead. Jobless and desperate, he takes the man&#8217;s wallet, only to find out later he may not have been dead! He rushes back only to find that the man has been removed and buried&#8230;perhaps alive.<br />

<p>Our quarterly adult comics magazine SIZZLE which previews many of its graphic novels goes from black &amp; white to full color throughout!</p>
<p>Best yet: the price stays the same at $5.95!</p>
<p>The magazine has been regularly featuring the works of Kevin Taylor (Girl), Christian Zanier (Banana Games), Cornnell Clarke (Peanut Butter), as well as Barbarian Chicks &amp; Demons. But of late it&#8217;s also added the best-selling author from the Spanish Kiss comics magazine Atilio Gambedotti (Room-Mates, 4 Girlfriends) with a new series <em>Three of a Kind. </em>This issue will also feature a new hot artist from Kiss: Mapp and <em>It Could Happen to You.</em> From China, a beautiful story from a graphic novel coming in April <em>The Jade Door</em> making the magazine truly international. Omaha the Cat Dancer will also continue, albeit in its usual black &amp; white.</p>
<p>Time to rediscover this magazine of quality adult comics which has been surprisingly stable in its circulation through these turbulent times for magazines.</p>

What is the secret of the egg? The annual event known as “Smurf Day” is near, and Papa Smurf wants to celebrate by making a big cake. The Smurfs gather all of the ingredients for the cake, but are missing an egg. When two Smurfs find an egg in the forest and bring it back, the other Smurfs soon learn that it is a magic egg that grants wishes! Soon all of the Smurfs are making unwise wishes and the entire village is a mess. It’s up to Papa Smurf to find a way to restore calm. Also featuring “The Fake Smurf,” where the evil wizard Gargamel finds a way to infiltrate the Smurf Village – by becoming a Smurf himself!<br />

<p><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">SALVATORE<br />
Vol. 1: Transports of Love<br />
Nicolas De Crecy<br />
</span></strong>The best-selling and acclaimed author of ‘Glacial Period’ in the Louvre collection returns with a new series starring a dog auto repair mechanic so in demand, he can afford to move his garage to a distant hard-to-reach peak for peace and… privacy. The privacy, as it turns out, is to build a mode of transportation that can get him through earth and seas to his beloved, far, far away. As unpredictable and totally original as ‘Glacial Period,’ this is a Plymptonesque tale filled with absurd, irresistible bittersweet humor.<br />

<p><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">THINGS UNDONE<br />
Foreword by Robert Kirkman<br />
</span></strong>The author of the acclaimed “North Country” is back with a dark comedy. Despite Rick Watt’s best efforts to keep it together, he feels his life is falling apart, turning him into a zombie. After a cross-country move with girlfriend in tow, his fresh start turns into a festering mess. As a video game artist, Rick is subjected to the incompetence of three bosses and a kinky art director. His overactive imagination helps him cope until… his seven-year relationship tailspins and his ex takes flight with the guy across the parking lot. Other jobs and a new GF don’t look any better. Caught between his fantasy world and reality, Rick decides to pull the trigger.<br />
With a foreword by Robert Kirkman, creator of the Walking Dead.<br />

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">With an introduction by Bill Blackbeard</span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Times New Roman;">In 1904, a young George McManus was hired by Pulitzer&#8217;s New York World as a cartoonist. While he was there he created such strips as The Newlyweds which many comics historians consider the first family comic strip. In 1912, William Randolph Hearst hired McManus away to start a comic strip about a guy called Jiggs, a lower class man who came into a lot of money. With their new wealth, Maggie, Jiggs’ wife, wanted to enter the upper crust of society but Jiggs just wanted to hang out with his old friends at the local bar playing cards and pool and eat his simple favorite foods. This is the classic strip Bringing Up Father which became the second longest comic strip of the 20th Century. Now, for the first time, Forever Nuts presents all the dailies of the first two years of this classic comic strip, many of which have not been reprinted since they first appeared over 90 years ago. Discover why McManus became known as one of the greats in the field.</span></p>

<strong>The Early Years of MUTT &amp; JEFF</strong><br />
<strong>Bud Fisher</strong><br />
</span></span></strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">One of the most long lasting and popular humor strips in history, Mutt and Jeff had many memorable moments of serious goofiness and irreverence. Here’s a rediscovery of a true oddball classic maybe only outdone by the antic high living of its own creator.<br />
&#8220;A real work of art. I love how these knuckleballs are always scrambling for 50 cents so they can get some ham and eggs. I thought Herriman was the greatest till I started reading Fisher&#8217;s working-scrub comics. Now I&#8217;m not sure.&#8221; -<strong>Tony Millionaire</strong> (in the Comics Journal).<br />

<strong>Frederick</strong><strong> Burr Opper</strong><br />
</span></span></strong><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Times New Roman;">Opper was already a quite successful cartoonist/illustrator for the prestigious Puck magazine when William Randolph Hearst lured him out to create a comic strip for the New York Journal. While a step down from (relatively) high to low brow, Opper jumped at the chance and out came “Happy Hooligan” an un-heroized vagrant who ends up very badly at the end of each strip, no matter how much good he might mean. His perennial demise surely went on to inspire Wile E. Coyote or Mr. O, especially as his own cowardice and unworthiness contributes to his hilarious woes. This second entry in ‘Forever Nuts’, a series in a handsome design showcasing early strips so ingeniously nutty they’re forever fresh and off the wall, presents here a collection of the better early full color Sundays.</span></p>
