HANK KETCHAMS COMPLETE DENNIS THE MENACE 1955-1956 HC

by Hank Ketcham Hank Ketcham's Complete Dennis the Menace is one of the most successful books in the company's history, greeted by reviews with praise similar to that garnered by The Complete Peanuts. This third volume of Hank Ketcham's Complete Dennis the Menace publishes every single panel strip from 1955 and 1956 in one handsome and thick hardcover volume. Ketcham's legendary pen and ink work achieves its full flowering in this volume as do the various situations and themes that Ketcham would return to: the first "split screen" (two-panel strip) that Ketcham would occasionally use; Dennis actually flirts with a girl; he rats Dad out to Mom; exacerbates confrontations between Dad and the police; and stymies hapless baby-sitters. Oh, and Mr. Wilson finally comes front-and-center as Dennis' #1 victim.


EC ARCHIVES SHOCK SUSPENSTORIES VOL 1 HC

Featuring a foreword by Steven Spielberg this book looks back at some of the edgiest and best written stories in comic history.

Doc Savage and his Iron Crew return in two thrilling novels by Lester Dent writing as Kenneth Robeson.

SHADOW DOUBLE NOVEL VOL 2
The greatest avenger from the legendary hero pulps returns in two more classic novels by his creator, Walter B. Gibson. The Shadow's crime-fighting organization became fully-formed in The Chinese Disks, the novel which introduces as agents cabby Moe Shrevnitz, reformed former-crooks Hawkeye and Tapper, Pietro, and the giant African Jericho Druke. The novel is a sequel to Gibson's first novel, The Living Shadow, and features the return of The Shadow's first major foe, Diamond Bert Farwell. Malmordo is the final Shadow novel completed by Walter Gibson before his 1946 departure following a contract dispute, and ended his initial 15-year run chronicling The Shadow's adventures.
