The conclusion.
NBM
Treasury of a Victorian Murder Compendium Vol. 01 by (w/a/c) Rick Geary
In this first omnibus volume from Geary's increasingly storied Treasuries of Murder: the first trilogy of murders that made up the very first volume of this series, Jack the Ripper as only he can narrate it, The Beast of Chicago about H.H. Holmes, possibly the first serial murderer with chilling methodical means and The Fatal Bullet about the assassination of president James Garfield. 6x9, B-W, 228 pgs, $24.99
Lee: Jim and I have been reading books in the Victorian Murder series for years so now is your time to catch up. This are incredibly insightful books about true crime. Very often, gruesome true crime! This is highly recommended for everyone.
Nobrow Press
Leeroy and Popo GN by (W/a/C) Louis Roskosch
The hilarious misadventures of a 20-something bear who smokes weed, fails with girls, and plays way too much Nintendo Wii. 52 pgs, $13.95 Visit the artist here.
Lee: A look at slacker culture from a distinctly English perspective. Or maybe slacker culture is slacker culture no matter where you live? Who knows, but I will tell you that I love this kind of humor and the art looks just delightful too.

Vanguard Productions
Alluring Art of Margaret Brundage SC
Margaret Brundage changed the look of Fantasy, Science-Fiction, and Horror with her alluring sensationalistic covers for the legendary pulp magazine, Weird Tales. She was the first female cover artist of the pulp era and the first to paint Conan! Decades before the gothic fetish craze, her provocative paintings featuring semi-nude young women bearing whips, became a major controversy. This is the first book devoted to this noted artist. All editions feature big, 9 x 12 lavish illustrated, full-color pages with art and text. 8x11, FC, 134 pgs, $24.95
Lee: I've heard Brundage referred to as the "Frazetta of the 1930's" and that is a perfect description. You've probably seen her art and never known who the artist is. This will be fantastic and well worth it if you love illustration art.
Well, that's all for this month. More shortly and maybe even another commentor!
