LOST PLANET HC

(W) Bo Hampton (A) Bo Hampton (CA) Bo Hampton

Somewhere in the dark jungles of the Andes mountains lies a Dimensional Bridge which leads to a violent, medieval world ruled by Magic of the Blackest sort! Fortune hunter  Tyler Flynn enlists fellow ex-pats Ambrose Bierce and Amelia Earhart in a desperate attempt to break free from the diabolical orbit of... the Lost Planet. The long awaited fantasy opus/reboot Lost Planet from Author/Artist Bo Hampton is returning in a hardcover edition in glorious, living Black and White! Although The six-issue mini-series from 1984 was printed in color, Hampton's line art was done on craft-tint Duo Shade board-a long gone tonal process not seen since the heyday of E.C. Comics. The laboriously plotted, and lavishly illustrated, tale draws upon fantasy and classic pulp tropes for inspiration but remains completely unlike anything in comics, before or since.

LUNARBABOON TP #1

DAILY LIFE OF PARENTHOOD

(W) Christopher Grady (A) Christopher Grady (CA) Christopher Grady

Explore the daily struggles and humor of family life with Lunarbaboon. He's just like any other dad - but vaguely hairier because he's half man/half moon monkey. Lunarbaboon shares life's parenting moments from the perspective of a 30-something dad/husband/chaos survivor. Together with the savvy, laid back Mom, wild child Moishe, baby Matilda, and a former Julliard student (their cat), Lunarbaboon must navigate the family and social dynamics of everyday life. Ranging from the hilarious (defeating closet monsters with a "stun" blaster that offers surprising facts about bears, Mars, and cats) to the sweet (the gray scale-to color transition out of depression at the touch of a loved one), this collection explores the bonds within a family and all the characters who bring both order and chaos to life.
