You'll see that I'll try to include a little order code with most items (ex:FEB211476). Show some love to your retailer and use those codes when you can, it saves a lot of time on the data entry end of things.

Why this caught my eye:
I mean there's a decent chance this might just be schlock, but I just noticed that T-Rex has samurai armor on so I mean....c'mon.

PRE CODE CLASSICS TOR HC VOL 01
(W) Norman Maurer, Joe Kubert (A) Mort Meskin (A/CA) Joe Kubert
Tor the prehistoric warrior is a loner whose only true friend is his pet monkey, Chee-Chee. Joe Kubert described Tor as superior to the others in his clan, with an extra spark of humanity, who was instinctively striving for a better, more civilized way of life and with thanks to the work and obvious love that went into the series, what might have become a standard adventure strip, with man battling monster within the unusual prehistoric-world settings and situations was actually elevated to art! We're positive you'll love the thrills, adventure and danger that lurked everywhere one million years ago! Collects Tor #1, 3,4, 5 (September 1953-October 1954) and NAZA Stone Age Warrior (November 1963).

Why this caught my eye:
I've always loved the over the top violent nature of FOTNS, so it's cool to see a new printing made available. Now I just have to figure out if I should update and get rid of my old copies....
That's it for this batch, next up we'll hit some crime/suspense material.
