Success stories included Dark Horse’s on-going BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER SEASON EIGHT, IDW’s brilliant relaunch of the STAR TREK franchise, Image’s mega-hit WALKING DEAD from Robert Kirkman, and Marvel bringing the classic sci-fi series ENDER’S GAME into the graphic novels world. 2010 promises to be a stellar year with a mix of promising newcomers (Nadja Spiegelman), returning superstars (Stephen King), and another slate of pop-culture events including SPIDER-MAN’s debut on Broadway in February and Tim Burton’s ALICE IN WONDERLAND feature film in March. This Spring’s title offerings truly have something for everyone. In January we’ll see the graphic novel debut of one of the all-time great books of our time, STEPHEN KING’S THE STAND: AMERICAN NIGHTMARES from Marvel. In February Dark Horse will bring out an omnibus of CHOBITS from the manga supergroup CLAMP. In March IDW will re-invent another timeless franchise, this time the GHOSTBUSTERS with DISPLACED AGRESSION. In April Archie brings forth an event 80 years in the making – ARCHIE: THE WEDDING. As a bonus, in April Toon Books will launch the comics career of one Nadja Spiegelman with her debut title ZIG AND WIKKI: SOMETHING ATE MY HOMEWORK. Nadja is none other than the daughter of Art Spiegelman and Francoise Mouly. Years from now we will look back at this moment when a new star is born.

The year is 2307 A.D. Although fossil fuels have been depleted, humanity has obtained a new source of energy to replace them in the form of a large-scale solar power generation system based on three huge, orbital elevators. However, the benefits of this system are available only to a handful of major powers and their allies. These are the Union, led by the United States of America; the Human Reform League, led by China, Russia, and India; and the AEU, led by Europe. These superpower blocs continue to play a grand zero-sum game for the sake of their own prestige and prosperity. In this world of never-ending conflict, a private armed organization appears, dedicated to the elimination of war through armed force. Its name is Celestial Being, and it is in possession of Gundam mobile suits. With these Gundams, it begins armed intervention into all acts of war.

THE COMPLETE COLLECTION When Mad magazine’s founding editor, Harvey Kurtzman, left that job, he teamed with Playboy founder Hugh Hefner to create Trump, reprinted now for the first time in fifty years, along with never-beforeseen material. Launched in January 1957 by Kurtzman and Hefner, Trump set out to change the landscape of magazine publishing. Enlisting many of his “usual gang of idiots” from his time at Mad — famous humor artists such as Jack Davis, Al Jaffee, and Wally Wood — Kurtzman rocked the establishment by bringing into the mix such dynamic humorists as Arnold Roth and Mel Brooks. Though it sold well, it lasted only two issues. Still, this first effort after Kurtzman’s historic split from Mad set the stage for the humor magazines that would follow, and would lead to the more than 30 year run of Kurtzman and Will Elder’s landmark character Little Annie Fanny in the pages of Playboy magazine.

Lauded by critics in the pantheon of great strips such as Krazy Kat, Pogo, and Barnaby, Jack Kent’s brilliantly conceived world brought smiles to young and old alike with its fanciful array of clever puns, visual humor, and good old slapstick. The postage-stamp-sized kingdom of Myopia is presided over by kindly King Aroo and his faithful (if sometimes prickly) retainer, Yupyop. The King turns to Professor Yorgle for wisdom, Wanda Witch for magic spells, the kangaroo mailman, Mr. Pennipost, for news from far and wide…and looks for love from the Beautiful Princess From the Kingdom Next Door. Volume One celebrates the strip’s 60th anniversary by presenting every daily and Sunday strip from the beginning in 1950 through 1952, reproduced from original artwork and syndicate proofs from the Jack Kent Estate. The series is edited and designed by Eisner Award-winner, Dean Mullaney, with an illuminating biographical text feature by Bruce Canwell, and an introduction by Sergio Aragones.
