CBEM 532 concludes . . . MINI FENDER GUITAR COLLECTION On sale October 5 Produced by SD Toys and exclusively distributed in the United States and Canada by Dark Horse Comics, Inc. Each 1/6 scale model guitar or bass comes packaged on a blister card with many accessories-including 3 mini picks, strap, cord, transmitter, and guitar stand, $19.99 (each). Telecaster(r) The revolutionary Telecaster guitar wrote the book on mass- produced, solid-body electric- guitar design. Featuring an ash body, adjustable maple neck, two single-coil pickups, and a micro-adjustable bridge the Tele(r) guitar, as it affectionately became known, is one of the most beloved and recorded guitars of all time. Comes in butterscotch blonde. Stratocaster(r) The legendary and venerable Stratocaster guitar took guitar design to a higher level and became the voice of rock 'n' roll. Featuring a comfort-contoured body, three single-coil pickups, and a synchronized tremolo system the Strat(r) guitar has become the most popular guitar ever built. Comes in black. Precision Bass(r) As one of their most illustrious achievements, the Fender Precision Bass guitar allowed bassists to be heard more clearly than ever before. For the first time, traditional upright bass players could finger notes easily and precisely, thanks to the P Bass(r) guitar's maple neck and fretted fingerboard. Comes in white. Jazz Bass(r) The Jazz Bass guitar offered bassists more tones than ever before. Featuring two single-coil pickups and complementary tone controls, bassists could "dial-in" virtually any tone imaginable. All this and its ultra-slender maple neck made the J Bass(r) guitar the world's most popular bass. Comes in 3-color sunburst.

OH MY GODDESS! COLORS TPB KOSUKE FUJISHIMA (W/A) On sale November 2, SC, 192pg, b&w & FC, 7" x 10", $19.95 Oh My Goddess! Colors is Dark Horse's English-language edition of a special collection first published in Japan. What's inside? Original publisher Kodansha, working with artist Kosuke Fujishima, produced color versions of four of the best-loved stories from the series, each centering on one of the goddesses. "The Number You Have Dialed Is Incorrect" is the one which started it all, as Belldandy appears when Keiichi reaches The Goddess Technical Help Line. Belldandy's big sister Urd becomes small in "Urd's Fantastic Adventure," and in "Crazy Little Thing Called Love," Skuld, the youngest of the sisters, wobbles through her first romance while learning to ride a bicycle. Finally, "Are You Being Served?" brings in the Fourth Goddess, the vampish Peorth, when Keiichi misdials again to reach Belldandy's rival agency...the Earth Assistance Hotline! In addition to the four color stories, the Oh My Goddess! Colors collection contains a bonus original manga story by Fujishima fan Yoshitou Asari. And if that doesn't do the trick, Kosuke Fujishima weighs in with an eight-page profile of the Goddesses. Plus, an eighteen-page "Encyclopedia of Goddess Terminology," cross-referencing the people, places, and events of the first twenty-two volumes of OMG!, four pages on the cars, bikes, and planes of the series, the two-page "Rules of the Goddess' World," and a six-page thumbnail guide to the OMG! story chapters.

Rather, his struggle with his brother-in- destruction, Knives, is escalating to extreme heights.

This volume of Trigun Maximum promises not only past history, but future frenzy. For instance, you'll soon discover that not only is Vash not the only one of his kind, but neither is Wolfwood. * Presented in a fashion directly approved by Nightow himself, Trigun Maximum is so authentic that ... well, it could hardly be more so.
