Children have an innate ability to blend and become one with their horse brothers and sisters.” — James Anaquad Kleinert, film director • “An inspiring story about survival. The Calico horses are a living link to our Great Basin history. They have returned to a natural state and survive in some of the most remote and challenging habitat of America’s Northwest. What threatens them threatens us all. They are on the front lines in the battle over the allocation of our natural resources and use of our public lands.” — Neda DeMayo, President, Return To Freedom G.I.

But on a remote island in the South Pacific theatre, Flynn and his squad come face-to-fanged-face with creatures long thought dead.

London updated the strip to reflect current pop culture and also brought back the extended story format favored by Segar. London gives us new yet familiar versions of Popeye, Olive Oyl, Swee’ Pea, and Wimpy, as well as Popeye’s Pappy, Olive’s brother Castor, Eugene the Jeep, Bernice the Whiffle Hen, the menacing Sea Hag, Alice the Goon, and more! Bobby London’s take on the Sailor Man has often been overshadowed by his being fired from the strip in 1992, ostensibly for presenting a storyline that was an allegory about abortion. Now, 20 years later, Bobby London fans as well as Popeye fans can rejoice with this first of two volumes that will collect every one of his daily Popeye strips.

A cat stole it — at least that’s what she tells people — at least that’s what she would tell people if she told people anything. But that would mean talking to people, and the mere thought of social interaction is terrifying. How did such a shy teenage girl end up in a car with three of her hooligan classmates on a cross-country road trip? Being forced to interact with kids her own age is a new and alarming proposition for Raleigh, but maybe it’s just what she needs — or maybe it can help her find what she needs — or maybe it can help her to realize that what she needs has been with her all along.

THE BOJEFFRIES SAGA Jobremus Bojeffries is like any other father — trying to keep the peace in a house stuffed with two kids (Ginda and Reth), uncles Raoul and Festus, a baby, and old Grandpa Podlasp. Never mind that one’s a werewolf, one’s a vampire, Grandpa is in the last stages of organic matter, and the baby puts off enough thermonuclear energy to power England and Wales... All right, they’re no ordinary family. And this is no ordinary book, with stories spanning decades, a whole chapter written as light opera, a Christmas episode, and an all-new, 24-page comic bringing the Bojeffries up to the present day. On every page, the wry and anarchic creativity of the creators shines through: Alan Moore’s affectionate and penetrating grasp of human nature (and British culture) creates a kind of desperate poignancy in the characters, brought to memorable life by Steve Parkhouse’s deft and articulate line work. It’s all there, untutored, unpolished, ramshackle, and always on the edge of collapse. Very much like Britain itself. writer: Andy Runton artist: Andy Runton Format: Softcover, Black & White size: 5.25 x 7.25 Page Count: 120 Recommended age: Children (ages 4 - 8) Publisher: Top Shelf Productions IsBN: 1-60309-087-8 IsBN-13: 978-1-60309-087-2 Price: $10.00 (CAN: $10.99, £7.50) Release Date: 2/11/2014 selected Previous Volumes: Owly Volume 1: The Way Home & The Bittersweet Summer (ISBN 1-891830-62-7), Owly Volume 2: Just A Little Blue (ISBN 1-891830-64-3), Owly Volume 3: Flying Lessons (ISBN 1-891830-767), Owly Volume 4: A Time To Be Brave (ISBN 1-891830-89-9), Owly Volume 5: Tiny Tales (ISBN 1-60309-019-3) writer: Liz Prince artist: Liz Prince Format: Softcover, Black & White size: 6.5 x 9 Page Count: 104 Recommended age: Mature Readers (ages 16 and up) Genre: Humor Publisher: Top Shelf Productions IsBN: 1-60309-322-2 IsBN-13: 978-1-60309-322-4 Price: $9.95 (CAN: $12.50, £7.50) Release Date: 3/1/2014 writer: Alan Moore artist: Steve Parkhouse Format: Softcover, Partial Color size: 7.25 x 10 Page Count: 96 Recommended age: Mature Readers (ages 16 and up) Genre: Humor Publisher: Top Shelf Productions IsBN: 1-60309-063-0 IsBN-13: 978-1-60309-063-6 Price: $14.95 (CAN: $18.99) Release Date: 3/1/2014 KEY SELLING POINTS: • “Think The Munsters written by Alan Bennett high on episodes of Coronation Street, all beautifully rendered in a style equal parts Robert Crumb and the Bash Street Kids’ Leo Baxendale.” — Mike Moran, The Independent New Releases Jan — June 2014 85 Top Shelf Productions TwoMorrows Publishing NEMO: THE ROSES OF BERLIN From The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen!

But Porky suspects the Colonel of having ulterior motives, and runs away from the Palace instead. He chooses to hide with his newfound friends, Xiajiao and Shaomai, at the School of Steam Kung, much to the alarm of its principal, Master Phoenix Claw. But when the Fried Kung Academy tracks Porky down, a chain of disastrous events is triggered, resulting in the destruction of the centuries-old School of Steam Kung, as well as a coup against the Emperor and Empress by Quickynoodle.
