PLUTOCRACY GN

(W) Abraham Martinez (A) Abraham Martinez

2051. The world's largest company, The Company, has seized power on a planetary scale and runs the world as if it were a business. In a plutocracy, the richer one is, the more powerful one is. The elections have been replaced by general shareholders' meetings where the votes are linked to the number of shares owned by citizens. Government is made up of those who own the most shares and it is the laws of the market that govern everything, creating a strange political system. In this context, an anonymous citizen becomes compelled to uncover how the world came to this situation, without paying any attention to the official version. He seeks to discover the true history of The Company and to try to understand what are the various interests that are trying to influence his investigation.

POCKETS FULL PIE

(W) Walt Kelly (A) Walt Kelly

This series represents the first time Pogo has been collected complete and in chronological order anywhere, presented in lush full color for the first time since their original appearance in Sunday newspaper section, as well as gorgeous black-and-white reproductions of Kelly's elegant dailies. This volume includes a pig with an ominous resemblance to Nikita Khrushchev and a scruffy goat who looks exactly like Fidel Castro. Both assure Okefenokeeans that a one-party system is the way to go; all will be well economically, they explain, because "the shortage will be divided amongst the peasants." Other storylines spotlight Kelly's remarkable cast: Pogo Possum, Albert Alligator, Howland Owl, "Churchy" LaFemme, Beauregard Bugleboy, Porky Pine, Miz Ma'm'selle Hepzibah, Deacon Mushrat, and so many others. All 104 Sunday strips from those two years are included, with supplementary features (including comprehensive annotations and index) by comics historians R.C. Harvey, Maggie Thompson, and Mark Evanier.

PS ARTBOOKS HORRIFIC SOFTEE

(A) Don Heck

The odd thing about these titles is that the publisher was convinced that faces sold comics; he insisted that every issue have some sort of a face dominating the cover, and cover artist Don Heck eagerly obliged. Werewolf faces, monster faces, terrified faces, always faces. It makes Comic Media's Horrific rather noticeable, so we've selected a few of these fabulous weird tales of terror issues here in this collection! And with the obvious answer staring you in the face you four-color fiends, go get 'em pronto! Collects Horrific #4-8 (March to November 1953).
