TASCHEN AMERICA
MARVEL COMICS LIBRARY HC AVENGERS 1963-1965
(W) Stan Lee (A) Jack Kirby, Don Heck (CA) Jack Kirby
Relive the classic early adventures of Avengers #1-20 now available as a compact trade edition. TASCHEN has attempted to create an ideal representation of these books as they were produced at the time of publication. The most pristine pedigreed comics have been cracked open and photographed for reproduction in close collaboration with Marvel and the Certified Guaranty Company. Each page has then been digitally remastered using modern retouching techniques to correct problems with the era's inexpensive, imperfect printing-as if hot off a world-class 1960s printing press. Accompanying the stories are an original foreword by Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige and an in-depth history by the Eisner Award-winning writer Kurt Busiek that's illustrated with original art, little-seen photographs, and rare documents.

MARVEL COMICS LIBRARY HC SPIDER-MAN 1962-1964
(W) Stan Lee (A/CA) Steve Ditko
When Stan Lee first pitched the idea of Spider-Man in 1962, his boss was full of objections: People hate spiders. Teenagers aren't lead characters; they're sidekicks. He should be glamorous and successful, not a friendless loser. But Stan persisted and Amazing Spider-Man broke the comics mold. Peter Parker lived in uncool Queens, was always broke, continually worried about his Aunt May, was unlucky in love, and was constantly getting yelled at by his boss, Daily Bugle publisher J. Jonah Jameson. Spider-Man had the quips and confidence that Parker lacked, but learning to use his powers wasn't always easy. First available as an XXL-sized collector's dream, close in size to the original artworks, this compact edition features the first 21 stories of the world's favorite web slinger from 1962-1964. This robust collection of wall-crawling wonder will make anyone's spider-sense tingle with anticipation. (STL342087) (C: 0-1-2)

WALT DISNEYS DISNEYLAND MINI ED HC
(W) Chris Nichols
Walt Disney dreamed for decades about opening the ultimate entertainment venue, but it wasn't until the early 1950s that his handpicked team began to bring his vision to life. Today, there are Disney resorts from Paris to Shanghai, but the original Disneyland in Anaheim, California, which has been visited by more than 800 million people to-date, remains one of America's most popular attractions. This bountiful visual history draws on Disney's vast historical collections, private archives, and the golden age of photojournalism to provide unique access to the concept, development, launch, and enjoyment of this sun-drenched oasis of fun and fantasy. This is a treasure trove of original Disney documentation and expertise, with award-winning writer Chris Nichols drawing on his extensive knowledge of both Disneyland and Southern California history to reveal the fascinating tale of 'the happiest place on Earth.' (STL342085) (C: 0-1-1) NOTE: This item may be available through other retail outlets before shipping to comic book specialty shops.

WALT DISNEY DONALD DUCK ULTIMATE HISTORY HC
Revisit a Duck's life's work from nine decades in one of the most expansive illustrated publications on the Disney universe. Following on from TASCHEN's Mickey Mouse: The Ultimate History, we witness the career of Mickey's only rival for the throne as Disney's most popular creation. From his debut in the Silly Symphony short film The Wise Little Hen on June 9, 1934, the authors trace Donald's more than 170 cartoons, groundbreaking adventures in comics and TV, and theme park appearances. With unlimited access to Disney's vast historical archives as well as public and private collections, the authors illuminate Donald's life story with rare concept art, story sketches, background paintings, animation, and comic drawings as well as historical photographs. We encounter the work of all major Donald artists in both film and comics who defined his character, including a vast tribute to the 'Duck Man' himself, master storyteller Carl Barks, alongside unseen early storyboard drawings.
