Rick Random Space Detective: 10 Classic Interplanetary Comic Book Adventures
(Ref: RRSD)   

Rick Random Space Detective: 10 Classic Interplanetary Comic Book Adventures
Steve Holland (Editor). Prion, September 2008. Rick Random, Space Detective, was a comic book character who appeared in "Super Detective Library", published by Amalgamated Press, from 1954. His first appearance was in the "Super Detective Library" number 37 in a tale titled "Crime Rides the Spaceways".

Random worked for the Interplanetary Bureau of Investigation, and among his arch-enemies was a futuristic bank robber, John Jolson, who used a matter transmitter in one story to steal gold from London's Interplanetary Bank. Random's female companion was Detective Superintendent Andi Andrews. Rick Random proved as difficult to kill off in the real world as he did in his sci-fi adventures. He was resurrected in the late seventies in 2000 AD, where he enjoyed a whole new audience.

Now you can enjoy ten of Rick's original interplanetary adventures all over again, with the wonderful artwork of Ron Turner reproduced larger and more excitingly than ever before in this Flexiback volume. Steve Holland is the co-author of The War Libraries Index published by Book Palace Books. 656 pages. Soft Cover Black & White 7" x 9" (175mm x 220mm) ISBN: 9781853756733

Hospital Nurse Picture Library: Love on Ward B
(Ref: LOWB)   

Hospital Nurse Picture Library: Love on Ward B
Melissa Hyland (Editor). Prion, October 2008. Blonde and impossibly beautiful, Sally Brown is a probationary nurse at General Hospital and the star of 'Hospital Nurse Picture Library'. With her friend and colleague Maureen Evans she patrols the kind of wards that would have been familiar to her readers thanks to television. "Emergency Ward 10" had been running since 1957 so everyone knew that hospitals were buildings full of dishy doctors and patients in need of a little tender loving care.

"The Hospital Nurse" series was first launched in 1963 and for years thereafter, young girls, young women and not-so-young women invested a shilling each month to keep up with the romantic adventures of young Sally Brown. In the 1960s, nursing was second only to being an airhostess when it came to glamorous occupations for girls.

Tales like "First Love", "Live and Love", "Kiss and Remember" and "Fooling With Love" tap into the obvious elements of love and romance - but titles like "Man Crazy" and "Naughty Nurse" hint that there is more fun to be had in these picture stories than between the prim covers of a Mills and Boon novel. If you think hospitals are just sterile wards full of sick people, think again.

This Flexiback volume includes: Introduction; Naughty Nurse; First Love; Man Crazy; Kiss and Remember; Fooling With Love; Cure For Diane; Live and Love; Blues For a Beat Boy; The World of Sally Brown; Breakdown; The Man in Ward 'B'; Without Hope. 400 pages.

Battle Picture Library: Let 'Em Have It
Steve Holland (Editor). Prion, September 2008. By the time it was launched in 1961, "Battle Picture Library" (BPL) already had two stablemates at Fleetway Publications - "War Picture Library" and "Air Ace Picture Library". To avoid any conflicts with its sister magazines, Battle concentrated solely on stories based on land, although the authors and artists had plenty of scope when deciding on settings for their tales of action and adventure.Stories such as "Fort Blood" or "The Fire-Eater" pit our fighting men against their bitter enemies in the heat and dust of the desert while "The Flame and the Fury" or "The Island of Guilt" see them slogging their way through the intense tropical humidity of the darkest jungles."The Let 'Em Have It" collection features some of the finest stories ever to appear in BPL, providing hours of entertainment for fans of fighting yarns whether they be revisiting the classic comic book series they remember from their youth, or whether they are going into Battle for the first time!

This Flexiback book includes: Introduction; Fort Blood; Killer at Large; The Fire-Eater; No Higher Stakes; Ten Seconds to Zero; The Flame and the Fury; Death - and Glory; The Island of Guilt; The Quick and the Dead; The Trouble-Shooters; L.C.1; Shoot First.

Commando: Bandits at 12 O'Clock
George Low (Editor). Carlton Books, August 2008. Everybody who has ever turned a page of a "Commando" war library has a favourite air story. The first thing to catch the attention are the names...Spitfire, Hurricane, Typhoon, Tempest, Whirlwind, Mosquito. Who wouldn't want to read a story with aircraft like that twisting and turning through the pages, machine guns or cannon flaming? And then there are the men who flew the fighters, bombers, seaplanes, flying boats and transport aircraft into combat. These pilots of every nationality had one aim...to make sure that they won their deadly duels high in the sky.

The Best of Boyfriend
(Ref: BESTBOYFRIEND)   

The Best of Boyfriend
Melissa Hyland (Editor). Prion, October 2008. "Boyfriend" was launched in the Spring of 1959. It was the first girls' magazine to truly put music first. Each week there would be a new 'Boyfriend' - Russ Conway, Johnny Mathis, Lonnie Donegan - introducing his life story and, to prove that he had a softer side, his favourite romantic story.You could also meet 'The Girl Behind the Boy'. Whether this was so you could emulate her to get your own pop-star boyfriend or a case of "know your enemy" so you could steal her boyfriend, I don't know. Away from the music, Rachel Lindsay handed out fashion tips on everything from clothing to hairstyles and twins Johnny and Jeannie Talbot offered weekly advice on the "Boyfriend" problems page.

"Boyfriend" really came into its own when the sixties began to swing. The magazine gave itself over to modern pop: as early as February 1963, before their first album was out, "Boyfriend" was describing The Beatles as "even more modern than modern."

Cliff Richard was a favourite of the magazine and was given his own column to introduce other stars of the pop scene...although it's unlikely that Cliff ever got any closer to the column than cashing the pay cheque he earned from the magazine for using his name. Seven years after its birth, "Boyfriend" sank beneath a swelling tide of pop magazines and girls all over the country mourned its passing. 144 pages.

War Picture Library: Against All Odds
Steve Holland (Editor). Prion, September 2008. In September 1958, Britain's children thrilled to the first issue of "War Picture Library", where they could read of the valiant struggle of a motley group of British soldiers from the British Expeditionary Force whose units were overwhelmed by German forces swarming through the frontiers of Holland, Belgium and Luxembourg. "Fight Back to Dunkirk" was a page-turner of the first order, a shilling shocker that grabbed your attention for 64 explosive pages. The good news was, when you'd finished, there was another one waiting on the spinners at the newsagents.Over the coming months and years, "War Picture Library" revealed to its young (and sometimes not-so-young) readers just what their fathers and uncles had been through in combat. The diversity of characters and breadth of locations available, from the home front to the steaming jungles, meant that there was something new for readers every month. Fifty years on, the stories still have the power to thrill and horrify us." Against All Odds" is a carefully selected collection of some of the most amazing war stories and striking war art ever produced, reproduced 25 per cent bigger than the originals so you can feel every bullet hit, every crashing wave and every nerve-shattering explosion. This is military history as you've never read it before.

This Flexiback book includes: Introduction, Finest Hour, The Troubled Sea, Foxhole Glory, The Thin Blue Line, Strike Squadron, Banzai, Road From Tobruk.

Now, the most famous and acclaimed episodes are reprinted in this value-packed bumper volume! Over 300 pages of relentless action are collected here, from the desperate dogfights of Johnny Red to the down-and-dirty Rat Pack, the reflective, critically acclaimed Charley's War and the uncompromising Hellman of Hammer Force!

The Biggest Jackie Annual Ever!

The Biggest Jackie Annual Ever!
Various. Prion, October 2008. Your daughter, or even your granddaughter, probably has no idea what it was like growing up in the sixties and seventies. Nowadays, MTV, mobile phones, the internet and downloaded pop bypass much of the excitement of rushing to the newsagent each week to find out who were the featured pin-ups, which of your favourite stars were being interviewed and what intriguingly delicate problems Cathy and Claire were tackling.

This bumper edition of nostalgic pages is from the magazine that was truly top of the pops with every girl in the country for almost thirty years after its first publication in 1964. The magazine's heyday came in the seventies when The Osmonds, David Essex, The Bay City Rollers, David Cassidy and Slade were among the regular faces appearing in its pages but it wasn't just for the pop, TV and film stars that girls beat a path to their local newsagent's door. Like the original magazine, "The Biggest Jackie Annual Ever!", it includes fashion and beauty tips, puzzles and quizzes to help you find out, for example, the difference between loving someone and being in love with someone, recipes, horoscopes and enthralling Readers' True Experiences, as well as a smattering of romantic picture story strips.

Now is your chance to relive all of those golden Jackie moments and show the youngsters in your life what life was like when you were growing up. You can listen to a few hits while you do so, too! Contents include: Pop; Fashion; Beauty; Astrology; Quizzes; Features; Cathy and Claire Specials. Everything a young girl growing up in the seventies would want in an annual, and everything that will bring back fond memories for a woman in her thirties and forties. 280 pages.

Karl The Viking The Complete Don Lawrence (Signed) (Limited Edition)

Karl The Viking The Complete Don Lawrence (Signed) (Limited Edition)
Don Lawrence. Don Lawrence Collection (DLC), Autumn 2008. Four deluxe volumes in a deluxe slip case, limited to ONLY 350 English language sets. The art has been digitally restored to the very highest standard.

Each of the four volumes has new four colour covers that Don produced in the late Eighties, available as SIGNED, LIMITED edition prints exclusively available to purchasers of the box set. As two of the covers were not coloured by Don, they will be newly coloured by Jorg de Vos, the colourist on the new Storm volumes.

Don Lawrence first drew Karl the Viking in 1960 in a strip called Sword Of Eingar starring Karl and his rival, Skurl. The story proved extremely popular, prompting Karl's return in Karl The Viking, which ran until 1964, when Lawrence began work on the Trigan Empire. Hard Cover Full Colour Highly Recommended.
