From the nationally syndicated cartoonist of “In the Bleachers” comes a new, highly illustrated middle grade series about Steve, who plays the same position in every bench-warmer. Perfect for fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Timmy Failure , King of the Bench is an ode to teammates, underdogs, and bench-warmers everywhere. Steve is King of the Bench. No brag. It’s just a fact. But this year, Steve and his friends are excited to try out for the Spiro T. Agnew Middle School baseball team. The only problem is, after watching another player get beaned by a fastball, Steve has developed a serious case of bean-o-phobia—the fear of getting hit by a pitch. If Steve ever wants to get off the bench and get in the game, he’s going to have to muster up some courage, and fast . Oh, and if you’re wondering why Steve would write a book and tell total strangers all about the humiliating phobia that almost ruined his first year on the baseball team? Duh. It’s pretty much a rule that you spill your guts when you write a book about yourself.
Edited by Alan Moore. After the appreciative reception afforded to its premier edition, lauded throughout the gutters of the world, the second issue of Alan Moore's mystifying new underground publication DODGEM LOGIC is now available. Delivering 52 pages of full-colour solid content thanks to its flinty-eyed Puritan policy of no advertisements, this plucky bi-monthly periodical is stuffed to the gills with wisdom and wonderment.Behind three luscious variant (and random) covers, we have this issue's cover feature, a sexy yet somehow sinister Burlesque photo spread from internationally acclaimed maestro Mitch Jenkins with an accompanying article on Burlesque past, present and future by our exotica expert, Melinda Gebbie. ... And much much more!And extending the ingratiating policy of quaintly and nostalgically including a free gift with every issue, and replacing the astonishing free CD of our debut, DODGEM LOGIC's unkempt figurehead and founder also contributes a questionable eight-page mini-comic, Astounding Weird Penises, being the only solo comic book that he has managed to create in his otherwise lazy thirty year career.Published by Mad Love/Knockabout (and available from Top Shelf as well). -- 52-page magazine with mini-comic, 8" x 11.5"

Moore (Eugene, OR) has been trading and researching the futures markets for more than 25 years. He formed Moore Research in 1990 to provide traders with historical research and seasonal analysis to better trade the commodity markets.

Jedno z najbardziej znanych na świecie dzieł komiksowych. Spopularyzowane
przez adaptację filmową z 2006 roku. Scenarzysta Alan Moore prezentuje
dystopijną alternatywną rzeczywistość lat dziewięćdziesiątych XX wieku. W
poprzedniej dekadzie zimna wojna przerodziła się w gorącą, a Anglia, gdzie
rozgrywa się akcja komiksu, przetrwała atomową hekatombę, by przerodzić się w
państwo totalitarne. Ta przerażająca i jednocześnie przemyślana opowieść o
wyrzeczeniu się wolności i własnej świadomości w opresyjnym systemie jest
zarazem kroniką wprowadzającą nas w zakamarki świata pełnego desperacji i
dręczącej tyranii. Fabuła obfituje w niezwykłe pomysły, dramatyzm,
przejmujących zwrotów akcji. V jak Vendetta stanowi pozycję obowiązkową dla
miłośnika komiksów.
An entertaining look at outrageous fortune, this off-the-wall collection features tales of against-all-odds survivors, ludicrous luck, and death-defying near misses. Culled from newspaper reports around the globe, these brief accounts cover everything from the miraculous to the ridiculous. You'll read about: The New Jersey man who survived a near-fatal mugging when the bullet to his chest ricocheted off his credit card-filled wallet. The woman who ate for free in an Italian restaurant after a small stone from her dinner got wedged in her tooth-only to discover the next day that the stone was an uncut diamond worth thousands of dollars. The two morgue attendants playing chess on the night shift who got the shock of their lives when one of the "corpses" sat up and moved one of the chess pieces. The dumbstruck man confronting an oncoming train who promptly fainted and fell between the tracks-where the train passed over him without incident. Back from the Dead proves one thing for sure: Lady Luck may be fickle, but she certainly has a good sense of humor.
