| THE 'NAM was
a great series on an individual's experiences in the Vietnam war, and the
story is told in real-time, following Ed Marks through his tour of duty
in 12 monthly issues. Writer Doug Murray is a vet, so he knows his subject.
Artist Michael Golden (the original MICRONAUTS) did a fantastic job, almost
cartoony, but with much realism and focus on the technical aspects.
This edition collects the first four issues from that series. |

| Marvel returns
to the mod adventures of its 1960s espionage hero, Nick Fury. A WW II veteran,
Fury fights the myriad international threats of the Marvel Universe as
a combination of James Bond and John Wayne. |
| The four stories
in this collection spotlight the final work on Nick Fury by acclaimed writer/artist
Jim Steranko who popularized the character with his intricate plots and
stunning visuals. The four stories presented here, wherein Fury faces off
against the mysterious operative known only as Scorpio, represent Steranko's
final work on the character, and completes Marvel's reprinting of Steranko's
Nick Fury tales. These classics are also a departure from earlier Steranko
material, as the expanded format of the then-new Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.
monthly comic gave Steranko more room and a wider canvas on which to paint
his mind-bending adventures.
Psychedelic and suspenseful,
bombastic and beautiful, NICK FURY: SCORPIO both collects long out-of-print
classic stories, and pays tribute to one of Marvel's finest contributors. |

| A white skull
on a field of black.
In the Marvel Universe, no
symbol inspires fear in the hearts of criminals like the stark calling
card of the Punisher. His wife and children killed in a mob shootout, former
serviceman Frank Castle wages a one-man war on crime, and he won't stop
until he's won no matter how many bullets it takes.
Originally a character who
rose to popularity in the law and order Reagan 1980s, The Punisher has
made a spectacular and astonishing return to the top of the comic book
charts. |
| Reinterpreted
through the eyes of visionary creators Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon the
masterminds behind DC's Preacher this ultra violent urban vigilante is
taken over the top in stylish, Tarantino-esque fashion. This time around,
the mountains of ammunition are heavily sprinkled with black humor and
stinging social commentary that Ennis and Dillon have become famous for.
The story is pure mythic
archetype, with a several post-modern twists. After a long absence, the
Punisher has returned to the streets of Manhattan, and a criminal elite
that has grown over that time is set on guard. In particular, Ma Gnucchi
and her crime family have been targeted by Castle. Can one man take down
an entire criminal organization with heavy armament alone? |
