---------------
AARDWOLF:
=========
Edge of Chaos #1 (Morrow). Reprints Gray Morrow's spin on the Hercules
legend, previously published by Pacific Comics in the 80's.

ACCLAIM:
========
Shadowman #1 (Ennis & A.Wood). The only "mature readers" title in the
Valiant Heroes line. A young man named Zero walks between the worlds of
the living and the dead. And when the dead rise again, he's the guy who
has to stop 'em. "a whiskey-guzzling, Dukes of Hazzard theme-song-singing
wild ride through the darkest reaches of the Big Easy."

Ninjak #1 (Busiek & Vokes). A teenager discovers his favorite arcade
game leads to a new world of wierd danger. Hoo-hah fun ensues.

ACCORDION PRESS:
================
King of Persia (W.Holcombe). A combination of whimsical fairy tale and
painful autobiography that I can't seem to adequately describe. Fans of
Chris Ware might understand what I'm saying. Ware wrote an intro to this
GN, by the way.

ANTARCTIC:
==========
Amazing Adventures of Professor Jones #1 (Lana). No, not *that* Jones,
though they are both daring archaeologists. Cute Manga-styled adventure.

Hepcats #0 (Martin Wagner). All new and in color. Also packaged in a
special edition with a "Hepcats Soundtrack" CD full of twee pop.

ARCHIE:
=======
Scooby Doo #17 (Evanier & Spiegle). Shaggy's uncle, "Salty." 'Nuff said.

ATTENTION! PUBLISHING:
======================
Doctor Cyborg #1 (A.Gross/Hempel/Wheatley/Willis). Sci-fi conspiracies
and intrigue from the ol' MARS team and friends. Their web site's at
www.clark.net/pub/insight

BLACK EYE:
==========
Collected Jar of Fools (Lutes). Now in one volume.

CALIBER:
========
******WARREN ELLIS ALERT*******************WARREN ELLIS ALERT***********

cyborgs.

Shanower, Strnad, Corben, Jay Lynch, and others.

H.P.'s Rock City (Moebius, with Druillet & O'Bannon). The newest
collection of Moebius shorts.

The Heretic #1 of 4 (Joe Phillips). Joining Pearson's Body Bags in
the "Blanc Noir" line is The Heretic, who walks the thin line between
the brutal killers of Terceron City and the self righteous superclean
heroes who failed to protect it. Back-up is Stelfreeze's "Maximum
Velocity."
