His website for his comic imprint is www.shandafantasyarts.net ] BRUCE WAYNE'S DIMMER COUSIN (THAT'S WHY HIS BELT HAS NO POCKETS) During the 1966 BATMAN craze, some toy manufacturers wanted to jump in yet not pay anything to DC Comics for the privilege. So there was an entire line of 'BAT-MAN" merchandise sold through smaller chain stores. These items are quite rare and show a purple super hero with LARGE flat bat ears. Merchandise included T shirts, masks, costumes, and a plastic "Utility Belt" with no compartments. _________________________________________________________________ ----------------------------------------------------------------- [12] HYPE! & LINKS Section Various THIS WEEK'S LINKS These are the website URLS to the regular items that are usually here every week or two: World Wide Web Home Page http://members.aol.com/ComicBkNet Yahoo Group CBEM http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ComicBookNetworkEmag Trivia sponsors: Discount Comic Book Service http://www.dcbservice.com That's Entertainment http://www.thatse.com News: Diamond Comics http://www.diamondcomics.com Marvel http://www.Marvel.com DC Comics http://www.dccomics.com The PULSE http://www.comicon.com/pulse/ Comics Continuum http://www.comicscontinuum.com/ Newsarama http://www.Newsarama.com/ X-Fan http://x-mencomics.com/xfan/ The Comic Wire http://www.comicbookresources.com/ ICV2 http://www.ICV2.com The SCOOP! http://scoop.diamondgalleries.com/ Alternative Comics http://www.indyworld.com/altcomics All The Rage http://www.SilverBulletComicBooks.com Lying in the Gutters http://www.comicbookresources.com/columns/ Columns: New Comics Releases http://www.comiclist.com X-Fan Reviews http://www.comixfan.com/xfan Paul Dale Roberts http://www.jazmaonline.com/ Richard Vasseur http://www.jazmaonline.com/ Michael Vance http://www.starland.com/sus Mark Allen Jonathan A.

Welcome aboard EISNER AWARD WINNER Rick Burchett! +++++ F.B.I. Informant Volume VII #1 January 10, 2006 ANNOUNCEMENT! As you hopefully are already aware of, earlier this summer, we started FLOG!: The Fantagraphics Blog . Updated (mostly) daily, FLOG! is a timely resource for finding up to the minute news and information about Fanta-related events, as well as other informative comics commentary (we pledge to keep the hype to a bare minimum). We hope you'll regularly check out FLOG! If you use an RSS feed reader like NetNewsWire you can subscribe to the xml here to keep up to date with the latest FLOG! posts: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Flog You can also subscribe to: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Fantagraphics Thank you for listening, and now here's a monster list of new releases: NEW BOOKS: WE ALL DIE ALONE by Mark Newgarden 224-page color and B&W 7 1/2" x 8 1/2" hardcover $28.95 Acclaimed cartoonist Mark Newgarden debuted in the first issue of RAW magazine in 1980 and his work subsequently found its way into a variety of high and low profile media. He co-created the '80s pop culture fad "Garbage Pail Kids," wrote, drew, and syndicated a weekly humor feature in the '90s, and created a "Web Premiere Toon" for The Cartoon Network called "B. Happy." Newgarden's comic are hilarious, alarming, and masterful uses of the medium, alternating between old-time gags and avant-garde storytelling, often on the same page without missing a comedic beat. His syndicated strip in such publications as L.A. Weekly and The New York Press encouraged a fervent following and exerted a fresh influence on the medium. Today they remain as vital and entertaining as when they first appeared. Those syndicated comics will make up the bulk of this book, the balance drawing on Newgarden's long form stories from various anthologies, i ncluding the much-lauded "Love's Savage Fury." In addition to compiling his comics, this book will be a full picture of the artist, his influences, and his many other careers. An avid collector and historian of 20th century ephemera, Newgarden has achieved the rare distinction of both contributing to and furthering the mediums he collects: novelties, comics, and cartoons. Newgarden remains a great link to the past while moving ever further into the future. We All Die Alone will be an uproariously funny and fascinating book that will appeal to comics readers, pop culture buffs, and any appreciator of the graphic arts. Designed by Dan Nadel (The Ganzfeld, The Wilco Book) and Helene Silverman (Jimbo in Purgatory). EL BORBAH by Charles Burns 96-page black-and-white softcover graphic novel $16.95 AN EARLY CLASSIC FROM THE AUTHOR OF BLACK HOLE, NOW AVAILABLE IN SOFTCOVER! Meet El Borbah, a 400-pound private eye who wears a Mexican wrestler's tights and eerie mask. Subsisting entirely on junk food and beer, El Borbah conducts his investigations with tough talk and a short temper. He smashes through doors and skulls as he stalks a perfectly realized film-noir city filled with punks, geeks, business-suited creeps and mad scientists. El Borbah features five science-fiction and true-detective episodes: In "Robot Love," rebellious kids in nightclubs replace their "parts" with mechanical substitutes as part of a new fad, only to find that their parents have been automating themselves all along; in "Love in Vein" a mad visionary sperm donor plans a master race and turns "his" kids against their parents; "Bone Voyage" details the exploits of a cult called the Brotherhood of the Bone, a kind of cross between the Masons and the Mansons. The fantastic plots take up the weird fears of a scientific society, but the action is pure pulp. Charles Burns effortlessly spins yarns with gritty punchlines and pictures so perfect they must have existed in some collective memory of junk drama. And through it all crashes El Borbah, trying to make an honest buck from dishonest people. Burns is the author of Black Hole, the acknowledged masterpiece of the form that Fantagraphics serialized through the 1990s. El Borbah is Burns' earliest work, created in the early 1980s, though the work remains eerily contemporary. Steeped in a "sci- fi-noir" aesthetic informed by Burns' steadily childhood diet of B-movies and comic books, but with a sophisticated sense of humor that is often as disturbing as it is funny, El Borbah is comics as its most entertaining.
