NBM COLLECTS HAPPY HOOLIGAN IN SEPTEMBER
Plus BONEYARD and PHAT GIRLS

FOREVER NUTS Classic Screwball Strips presents
HAPPY HOOLIGAN by Frederick Burr Opper
Happy Hooligan is a lovable loser, a well-meaning hobo who ends up in
hilariously bad shape no matter what he tries. One of the 20th
century’s most popular comic strips, HAPPY HOOLIGAN has influenced
everything from Donald Duck to the Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoons of
Jules Feiffer, and it’s still delightful today. This second entry in
FOREVER NUTS -- a deluxe, handsomely designed series of books
showcasing early strips so ingeniously nutty that they’re eternally
fresh -- presents the best of Opper’s early, full-color Sunday strips.
Full-color clothbound hardcover, 11” x 7 1/2” , 112 pages, $24.95, ISBN
978-1-56163-542-9

And don’t miss the already published
FOREVER NUTS: The Early Years of MUTT & JEFF by Bud Fisher
One of the longest-lasting and most popular humor strips, MUTT & JEFF
is memorable for its goofiness and irreverence. As the book’s
introduction reveals, only the antic high living of the strip’s
creator, Bud Fisher, outdid his oddball classic’s wildness. "The sharp
pacing and sardonic wit in Fisher's work set the standard for every
newspaper strip that would follow." -- Washington Post
Black and white jacketed hardcover, 11” x 6 1/2”, 192 pages, $24.95,
ISBN 978-1-56163-502-3

BONEYARD #28 (resolicited from March)
By Richard Moore
BONEARD creator Richard Moore is taking a break to work on other
projects; but first, he delivers BONEYARD’s biggest issue yet! Can our
hero, the merely human Michael Paris, save faerie princess 'Lita from
the evil Unseelie prince? And who will save Paris? Could it be an
infinite number of his sweetie Abbey?
Black-and-white comic book, $2.95

New from AMEROTICA
EXTREME CURVES: PHAT GIRLS by Phil Henderson
After his tremendously successful first collection of pin-ups, which
went back to press three times, Phil Henderson’s Extreme Curves series
is back with another collection of outrageously lush babes, curvy
enough to send your head into a spin. Real women in all their beauty,
lovingly painted for your enjoyment.
Full-color trade paperback, 8 1/2” x 11”, 80 pages, $18.95, ISBN
978-1-56163-545-0
