We’ve been selling comics since 1961 (our first sale: Fantastic Four #1 at $0.25, see one of our first ads) and on the web since 1996. Copyright © 1996 - 2021 Lone Star Comics Inc. Character images copyright © their respective owners. Why So Blu? From the strikingly different covers that grace these three issues (Paul Pope on issue one, Peter Bagge on issue two, and Stan Sakai on issue three) you know immediately that these aren’t going to be your normal Marvel comics, let alone normal superhero fare. Taking a page from DC Comics’ Bizarro Comics , Marvel enlisted an eclectic group of writers and artists from comic’s indy scene and basically told them to “Have fun.” And they did. I’ve been reading comic books for most of my life and for many, many years I was a “Marvel Zombie” (someone who reads just Marvel comics). But then Dark Horse Comics pulled me into their world with their Aliens and Predator comics. From there, Dark Horse Presents opened my eyes to writers and artists I had never been exposed to. That started me on my way to a well-rounded comic book library. And that brings me back to Strange Tales. This is the perfect series for the readers who just read superhero comics, but want to expand their artistic horizons. Or for those readers who avoid superhero books because they think they’re just hero vs. villain fare. Or it’s for anybody who just wants to read some funny stuff. Each issue has anywhere between 10 and 13 stories, and they run the gamut from Peter Parker realizing he’s never been in a bar fight to Iron Man fighting Baloney-Head to the Fantastic Four playing practical jokes on normal people. In fact, the only story that runs through all three issues is Peter Bagge’s The Incorrigible Hulk . This was a story that was originally supposed to be published a few years ago and is seeing print for the first time in this series. Whether Marvel didn’t know how to market it until now, or if Peter Bagge took this long to finish it is still a mystery, but as a fun story with both the Hulk and Bruce Banner each finding love, I’m glad I get to read it now. Every story might not be to everyone’s taste (I know Cup Cake by Chris Chua left me scratching my head), but that’s okay. Just turn a couple of pages, and something’s bound to strike your fancy. My three favorites are: Michael Kupperman’s Namor the Sub-Mariner in “Fed up with Man” with Namor realizing why he’ll never truly hate “air breathers.” Jhonen Vasquez’s M.O.D.O.K. and M.E . where MODOK finds the perfect companion for all his evildoings in young Donnie. And, finally, Jeffrey Brown’s Fantastic Fool’s Day , where practical jokes are the key, but The Thing has some trouble grasping the concept. There’s nothing wrong with good superhero comics, but it’s worth it to take some notice when the big publishers go out of their way to expose readers to creators who might never appear on their radar. There’s a mini biography of each creator at the back of each issue that tells you what else they’ve done. I know I’m going to check out some new stuff because of this. Usagi Yojimbo (1996-2018 3rd Series) comic books. This item is not in stock. If you use the "Add to want list" tab to add this issue to your want list, we will email you when it becomes available. Story and art by Stan Sakai. The close of sixteenth century Japan is regarded as the Age of Civil Wars, as feudal lords fought amongst themselves for land and power. When one leader finally rose above the others and was proclaimed Shogun, a peace came upon Japan and the samurai warriors found themselves suddenly unemployed. Many of these Ronin turned to banditry to survive, others found work with minor lords. And a small number traveled the musha shugyo -- the warrior pilgrimage -- to hone their spiritual and martial skills. But whether they took the honest road or the crooked path, the Ronin all found one common link -- they were generally less than welcome. Such is the tale of Usagi Yojimbo. 32 pages, B&W. Cover price $2.95. This item is not in stock. If you use the "Add to want list" tab to add this issue to your want list, we will email you when it becomes available. Story and art by Stan Sakai. An innocent Noodles has been captured by the corrupt police force, and there's nothing Usagi can do -- except expose his persecutors' deceptions. Policeman Yoriki Matsuda is a puppet of the local criminals, but once the puppet is eliminated, the puppet masters fall as well. 32 pages, B&W. Cover price $2.95. This item is not in stock.

Those who travel the haunted paths of The Tangled Skein are warned to make an offering of protection to the demons that rule the woods. When a traveling party fails to make that sacrifice, they pay the price in another way -- the young woman traveling with them is overcome with great illness. Now it's up to Usagi to exorcise the demons the only way he knows how -- in battle. 32 pages, B&W. Cover price $2.95. This item is not in stock.

Story and art by Stan Sakai. An assassins' guild to one side and a hostile, mysterious medicine peddler to the other, Usagi Yojimbo is between a rock and a hard place.

Nakamura Koji is on his warrior pilgrimage, honing his skill for the day that he can avenge himself on the one who bested him in a duel many years before. But he will never make it to that day unless he can defeat the Surudoi school of swordsmanship, who have ambushed him on this journey. In this fight, however, Koji will not be alone -- he is joined by Usagi Yojimbo. 32 pages, B&W. Cover price $2.95. Story and art by Stan Sakai. Usagi, while crossing a snow-covered mountain pass, comes across a little girl and her severely wounded father, the only survivors of a party attacked by bandits. It's rabbit against nature as the ronin attempts to usher them safely through the pass, in a snowstorm, stalked by predatory animals, with the threat of an avalanche literally above their heads! 32 pages, B&W.

Abandoned Cars is Tim Lane’s first collection of graphic short stories, noir- ish narratives that are united by their exploration of the great American mytho- logical drama by way of the desperate and haunted characters that populate its pages. Lane’s characters exist on the margins of society—alienated, floating in the void between hope and despair, confused but introspective. The writing is straightforward, the stories mainstream but told in a pulpy idiom with an existential edge, often in the first person, reminiscent of David Goodis’s or Jim Thompson’s prose, or of films like Pick-Up on South Street or Out of the Past. Visually, Lane’s drawing is in a realistic mode, reminiscent of Charles Burns, that heightens the tension in stories that veer between naturalism on the one hand and the comical, nightmarish, and hallucinatory on the other. Here, American culture is a thrift store and the characters are thrift store junkies living among the clutter. It’s an America depicted as a subdued and haunted Coney Island, made up of lost characters—boozing, brawling, haplessly shooting themselves in the face, and hopping freight trains in search of Elvis.
