Referred to by comic strip historian Maurice Horn as the "granddaddy of all costumed superheroes," The Phantom was created in 1936 by Lee Falk.

Reprinted in all its black and white glory, journey with Hermes Press as we bring you five complete continuities drawn by Sy himself which continue the adventures of The Phantom, Diana, and his two children: "Tarashima Terrorists," "The Snake Goddess," "Zabadabah," "The Man Thing," and "Great Raptor of Rhua."

What made many of the great adventure comics of the 1960s so attractive were their fantastic painted covers by artist George Wilson. Unlike other comic book covers of the era, Wilson's covers harkened back to the era of pulp magazines and were spectacularly eye-catching. He turned in efforts for literally hundreds of comics titles including: Classics Illustrated, The Twilight Zone, Ripley's Believe It or Not, Dr.Solar, Magnus Robot Fighter, Turok, Son of Stone and Star Trek, to name but a few. This new art book focuses on over 300 examples of his cover art and features numerous examples of Wilson's artwork scanned from the originals together with many of the book covers he created including his extensive run on Avon's The Phantom (as well as his work on the Gold Key version).

Finally, every football card collectors' dreams are coming true -- the complete, comprehensive history of football cards and American football from 1888-1988 -- profusely illustrated with literally thousands of original football cards, many of which have become valuable collectibles.

This book discusses the changes that occurred in the football card industry over its first century in existence as well as the evolution of the football leagues we know today. American Football Cards 1888-1988 highlights interesting cards and noteworthy players from each year. While it focuses heavily on the appearance, nuances, and evolution of cards from the major card companies---including Topps, Bowman, and Fleer--it also discusses more unique sets, such as police cards, where the well-known McGruff the crime dog makes an appearance.
