This weekend, is the 2012 MoCCA Fest and we're pretty excited that our own P. Craig Russell (who did that stunning artwork above) is their very first Guest of Honor.
We'll be debuting Craig's new book, the eagerly anticipated fifth volume of The Fairy Tales of Oscar Wilde: The Happy Prince at the show, several weeks before it's available anywhere else.
We'll also have ten advance copies of the the signed and numbered edition of the book (How limited? 200 copies and the ten copies for sale will all be within the first twenty-five) which are quarterbound in real cloth and fine paper with a tip-in sheet signed by P. Craig Russell. Also, it's a tremendous opportunity to have Craig personalize your copy!
Also attending the show is our esteemed publisher, Terry Nantier, Brooke Allen, Neil Kleid and Papercutz's own Rick Parker!
Be sure to stop by and visit us at Booth J4!
Also, our June Solicitations are out, and we've got the latest volume of Rick Geary’s Treasury of XXth Century Murder, this time focusing on Lovers’ Lane: The Hall-Mills Mystery as well as the signed, limited edition of P. Craig Russell’s The Fairy Tales of Oscar Wilde Vol.5: The Happy Prince that we mentioned above.
Treasury of XXth Century Murder: Lovers’ Lane
The Hall-Mills Mystery
Rick Geary
New
Brunswick, New Jersey, Thursday, September 14, 1922. Reverend Hall and
Mrs. Eleanor Mills take a stroll in the town’s park in the evening.
Shots are heard. 2 days later, their bodies are found laying on the
ground very neatly next to each other with her hand on his thigh, love
letters strewn around them, the scarf on her neck covering up the deep
bloody slit in it. Reverend Hall, himself married, was in an open secret
of an affair with Mrs. Mills, a married woman of his choir. The perfect
ingredients for a juicy scandal and fascinating investigation which the
nation’s press hungrily devours. Alas, no clues or evidence are
sufficient to make an indictment stick. Was it suicide? A jealous rival?
The case reopens again 4 years later as new information is brought to
light, indicting the reverend’s wife but she is an upstanding member of
her community, denying to the last that her husband had any affair…

The Fairy Tales of Oscar Wilde
Vol.5: The Happy Prince The Signed Limited Edition
P. Craig Russell
The Happy Prince is arguably the most famous and well loved of Oscar Wilde’s nine fairy tales, rivaled only by The Selfish Giant. It is also a very timely tale at a time of controversy over the increasing chasm between rich and poor…
The Happy Prince has lived a life of opulence but has died young and his soul inhabits a beautiful ruby encrusted statue covered all over in gold leaf. From his perch high above the city he is witness to all the poverty, misery, and hopelessness in which his people have been living. When a small barn swallow in flight to the warm south ahead of the approaching winter stops to rest upon the statue the Happy Prince prevails upon him to delay his travels in order to remove his gold leaf a piece at a time and shower it upon the poor citizens.
Out of love for the Happy Prince the swallow does his bidding.
As the days pass the Prince’s beauty is stripped away and as winter sets in the bird’s fate is sealed. In the spring the townspeople finding only a dull statue with a broken lead heart and a dead bird consign the worthless objects to the ash heap. Only an emissary of God recognizes them as the most valuable treasures of the city and brings them to the gardens of heaven.
