Here's a blast from the past.  Perhaps serving as an example for Image in their efforts today, publisher A1 was attempting to bridge the gap between the edges and the middle of comics a decade or so ago, and while it didn't manage to publish a whole lot, what it did put out there was actually pretty much all A1.  This issue revisits some of its former glory, in gearing up for the future.  The feature attraction here is the complete original Bojeffries Saga episode by Alan Moore and Steve Parkhouse, but there's plenty more including, Survivor, one of the first and best comics commentaries on what Superman would "really" be like by Dave Gibbons and Ted McKeever, and Copacetic favorite: A Flaming Carrot Unsolved Mystery: The Bandit Moons, which features the first (and only?) appearance of Sponge Boy (inspiration for Sponge Bob Square Pants?).  Well worth the cost of admission.

When this book first came in, it sold out before we had a chance to list it here, but now we've restocked and would like to bring your attention to this spiffy hardcover volume that collects several unique works reuniting the team that brought us From Hell, one of the most challenging graphic novels ever produced. The feature attractions here are the The Birth Caul and Snakes and Ladders. Both of these works originated as performance pieces (!) by Alan Moore that were then released as CD recordings. These CDs were then transcribed and transformed by Eddie Campbell, making for comics unlike anything you've ever seen. Supplementing these works are a lengthy interview with Alan Moore conducted by Eddie Campbell, and a set of preliminary drawings by Eddie Campbell for Snakes and Ladders. This work really deserves a look.
