The stories presented here seem specially designed for the most hardcore fans of the underground comix genre. A little bit of everything is covered in these special two-in-one editions: a little science-fiction, a few funny animal stories, a bit of horror and suspense, and a whole lot of sexual obsession. Surprisingly, a few of the stories have a serious tone, though most are simply funny, satirical, or just plain freaky. Nothing is sacred in Dr. Wirtham’s world, and everything is fair game. Shots are aimed at Mother Goose, Santa Claus, even the six-foot rabbit from the Jimmy Stewart movie, Harvey.

Charlie Brown and the Peanuts gang have made an indelible mark on so many treasured American holidays and traditions, from Charlie Brown's infamous Christmas tree to Linus's obsession with the Great Pumpkin. And who can forget the most romantic―and occasionally loneliest―of all holidays? From Charlie Brown opening an empty mailbox every February 14th, to Sally Brown and her "sweet baboo" Linus, A Valentine for Charlie Brown is the perfect book to remind that special someone in your life just what love is all about, for better and for worse!

Información de la editorial: Alfonso Teófilo Brown nació en Colón Panamá en 1902 y seguramente hoy su nombre no despierta muchos recuerdos. En cambio para los amantes del boxeo "Panamá Al Brown" evoca algunas imágenes. En junio de 1929 se convierte en el primer campeón mundial latinoamericano de box, frente al español Vidal en la categoría gallo. Un personaje de leyenda, caído en olvido y rescatado por el dibujante francés Alex W Inker, autor de cómics, en un magnífico álbum publicado por Kraken: 'Panamá Al Brown'.

During his fifty-year career, ninety-nine percent of Charles Schulz's creative energies went into the dailyPeanuts comic strip. But once in a while he would create a special something else on the side, and this adorable little package collects two of his best "extras" from the 1960s: two Christmas-themed stories written and drawn for national magazines. Created in 1963 (two years before the Charlie Brown Christmas TV special) as a supplement for Good Housekeeping magazine, "Charlie Brown's Christmas Stocking" comprises 15 original captioned vignettes featuring the entire Peanuts cast of the time ― Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Lucy, Linus, Schroeder, Frieda, Violet, Shermy, and Sally ― each with a joke or reflection about the season. "The Christmas Story" is an original tale created for Woman's Day in 1968, this one focusing just on Snoopy and the Van Pelt siblings, with Lucy and Linus each explaining the meaning of the holiday to Snoopy. "I'm going to have to be careful," Snoopy reflects at the end of the story, resting on his doghouse next to his bone-decorated tree; "all this theology could ruin my Christmas." The book also includes notes on the provenance of the stories and a pocket-sized biography of Schulz.

Charlie Brown may not be the best pitcher, batter, or team manager, but his love for the game is boundless, no matter how many home runs he gives up, how many games he loses, how many errors his team makes, or how many times the game is rained out. This delightful collection of newspaper comic strips ―Batter Up, Charlie Brown! ― features three complete baseball stories starring good ol' Charlie Brown and his frustrating (and frustrated) teammates Lucy, Linus, Pigpen, Snoopy, and the rest of the gang.

Información de la editorial: Rusty Brown no es solo un libro: es la conjugación, plenamente interactiva y a todo color, de las relaciones espacio-temporales que tres conciencias independientes mantienen, durante la primera parte de un día y en un pequeño municipio del Medio Oeste de los Estados Unidos de América, con el ínfimo y corajudo ser humano alrededor del cual pivotan involuntariamente.

Sinopsis de la editorial: Nunca un payaso las pasó tan canutas y jamás un cómic se internó tan lejos en su exploración del subconsciente. La primera novela gráfica del canadiense Chester Brown es un trabajo de sinopsis imposible que mezcla el terror, la ciencia ficción, el patetismo existencial y la comedia absurda para alzarse en una obra pulp brutal, arrebatadora y de alto contenido emocional.
