Michael H. Price's AW-SHUCKS SUSPENSE STORIES

This amazing eighty-page collection rounds up eleven yarns spanning series editor-author-artist Michael H. Price's more than thirty years as a storyteller in the Southern Gothic tradition, running the gamut from hair-raising folk tales and true-crime and war yarns, to parody and satire to the random uneasy mingling of horror and humor.
Showcasing such featured writers as Jim Marrs (author of Crossfire: The Plot That Killed JFK and Alien Agenda), whose story, "It Takes A Child To Raze A Village", boasts the debut of his daughter, illustrator Cat Marrs. Other talents represented include Hanna-Barbera artist Bill Alger, whose rambunctious cartooning on a centerpiece story, "The Great Wazoo Gets His Mojo Workin", drawn from Deep Southern folklore, also yields the cover artwork; Mark Dietz's "Memories and Lies", an embittered reflection on war from a ground-zero vantage; New York gallery painter Adrian Martinez, in a haunting encore from the original Southern-Fried Homicide, the harrowing "Sunk Rats", as adapted by Price from the artist's memoirs; the late George E. Turner, in a continuation of his "Mummy's Family Album" collection of bizarre vignettes; pioneering Texas political cartoonist Jack Patton; and modern-day newspaper designer-illustrators Dale Taylor and Todd Camp.
The stories include both hitherto unseen pieces, developed expressly for the Southern-Fried Homicide series, and strategic resurrections from books long out of print. Among the latter are Price and Camp's "Twin Freaks", a delightfully demented homage to the old Kurtzman-edited MAD Comics; and Price's posthumous collaboration with Jack Patton on the impolite, "A True Life Story", which first saw publication in Heavy Metal magazine. The customary gratuitous inclusion of a story featuring Price's redneck-lawman character, Constable Moe Lester, receives a definite interpretation from Dale Taylor, an artist who was scarcely more than an infant back when the earliest Moe Lester comic strips began appearing around 1970-71. Rounding out the collection is a folio of "lost" out-takes from Price's "Bloody Visions" true-crime trading card series of the early 1990s. Due to some mild violence, this book is recommended for Mature Readers. 80 black & white pages with full color cover. Trade paperback format (6-1/4 x 9).

MUÑECA: An Anthology of Crime Stories

Artist Lamberto Alvarez and writer Michael H. Price, fellow Texans and veteran comics storytellers present MUÑECA: An Anthology of Crime Stories. From the Texas Panhandle to gator-infested Bayous, these stories cover subject matter that will chill readers to the bone, especially true-crime aficionados. Using the illustrated comics medium, Muñeca is rich in dialogue and illustrated action. This forty-eight page anthology includes six tales of murder and mayhem written by Price, author of the downhome graphic anthologies, Southern-Fried Homicide and Aw-Shucks Suspense Stories. The stories in Muñeca are then brought to graphic life through Alvarez's decidedly abstract, but fascinating, pen and ink scratchboard illustrations. Alvarez, a former newspaper illustrator whose work has appeared in Heavy Metal and Taboo. For bilingual readers, Muñeca also contains a short Spanish-language text story written by Alvarez's father about the life of a bachelor in the barrio. And the book is rounded out with a portfolio of Alvarez's black and white scratchboard illustrations. Due to some mild violence, this book is recommended for Mature Readers. 48 black & white pages with full color covers. Trade paperback format (6-1/2 x 10-1/4).

THE CASE OF THE
PRODIGAL PROXY

Lee Harvey OSWALD'S CONFESSION Graphic Novel * JFK

Some mighty convincing guesswork here, in OSWALD'S CONFESSION. This impossibly rare Cremo Studios production speculates compellingly in 64 black & white pages of paranoia-drenched imaginary eavesdropping. Related by Jim Marrs, author of Crossfire - the chief inspiration for Oliver Stone's JFK. Illustrated by more artists than you can shake a schtick at - including Chief of Creamonologists Michael H. Price and letterer Basil Weaselbeezer.
