Great Rulers of India : Five Illustrated Classics - Hardcover
Only 1 left in stockCollection of the following titles: Krishnadeva Raya, Ashoka, Chandragupta Maurya, Samudra Gupta, Harsha
In this Pancharatna volume, we have included Chandragupta Maurya, the founder of the Maurya dynasty, and Ashoka, his grandson, who at the zenith of his conquests saw the futility of violence and had the courage to renounce it. Of Ashoka, H. G. Wells writes in his book, 'Short History of the World,' 'Such was Ashoka, the greatest of Kings. He was far in advance of his age.' The Gupta age is considered to be the golden age of India. To Samudra Gupta goes the credit of spreading the Gupta empire. The Fourth book in this volume is on the life of Emperor Harsha, who is remembered till this day as a great ruler, not only because he was a brave military leader, but also because he was a man of noble impulses. This is based on Harshacharita by Banabatta and the account given by the Chinese traveler, Hiuen-Tsang. The fifth book is on the life of Krishnadeva Raya, the greatest emperor of Vijayanagara. Domingo's Paes, the Portuguese traveler, described the capital city as 'the best provided city in the world'. Of Krishnadeva Raya, he wrote, 'He is the most perfect king that would be, cheerful of disposition and very merry.'

Masters of the Universe : Slave City - Mini Comic VINTAGE 1983
Only 1 left in stockWhile walking through the Evergreen Forest, Prince Adam and Cringer come across a group of Kobolds taking a Native American woman to the City of Targa. Adam and Cringer quickly change and stop the kidnappers. Afterward, the woman, Princess Rana of Targa, thanks them, as she says that otherwise she would have become a slave.
He-Man is shocked to know that slavery exists on Eternia, and finds out that the leader of the Kobolds, Lodar, has enslaved her entire people. He-Man decides to go to Targa with Rana to stop Lodar, but must first cross a river flooded due to rain. In the process, a boulder hits He-Man, knocking him out. Rana and Battle Cat race to help him, but too late -- the Kobolds have captured him. The purple warriors see the two watching, and capture them as well!
Later, He-Man awakens in a dungeon next to a member of Rana's people named Garn, unable to remember his name. Suddenly, the Kobolds burst in and demand that the two come with them. They bring them to a throne in front of Lodar, and demand that they bow. But even without his memory, He-Man refuses to bow to him.
Lodar, apparently a man in a mask, demands that Garn and the stranger fight as gladiators in the Arena of Death, promising that the victor shall go free. During the combat, Garn sees the stranger's death as his passport to freedom, and both battle fiercely. Eventually, Garn clubs He-Man in the head, which revives his memory. He-Man ends the fight decisively, but will not kill Garn. Instead, he climbs into the stands after Lodar! Though Lodar puts up a good fight, He-Man eventually prevails.
Afterward, Lodar and the Kobolds are banished underground, where Lodar no longer will be able to use magic without the sun and the moon. He-Man, triumphant, heads off to new adventure.

Inferno Issue 1 Caliber Comics by Mike Carey and Michael Gaydor
Only 1 left in stockFrom Mike Carey, writer of the DC Comic 'Lucifer' which is currently seen as the television series at FOX. And writer on such comics as Fantastic Four, X-Men, Batman, and Thor. And art from Michael Gaydos, co-creator of Jessica Jones (Marvel - Netflix).
A mysterious man in a mysterious city...A city infested with corruption...fueled by sin...and justice is independent of the laws.
At the heart of the netherworld is the city called Inferno...a sprawling, endless mass made up of fragments of every earthly city that ever existed. Its inhabitants are the damned, the desperate...those whom redemption cannot touch.
When John Travis is murdered, it is to Inferno that his spirit comes. But it’s all a mistake...Travis’ killers were looking for someone else. Now Travis finds himself both pawn and prize in a game he doesn’t understand and the stakes include both his immortal soul and his memory of a past life. Travis has his allies, of course, including the prophet Nostradamus and the woman Shule Borraial. Together they’re prepared to risk their own souls to get Travis back into the city in one piece.
But why do they claim to have met Travis before? And why did they have him killed?
Inferno is more than the saga of a loner trying to make sense of a strange and terrifying world in which he is thrown into. It is the story of the city itself which seems to permeate its own evil life through the streets and all of its inhabitants. Can one man make a difference?"A work of genius on the dark fantasy genre." - Comics International
"It's in these self-contained stories that we see just how talented Carey is. His imagination and appreciation of the human heart make for storytelling that is both entertaining and thought-provoking." - Fandom.com

Nosferatu (Caliber Press) by Rafael Nieves & Ken Holewczynski
Only 1 left in stockBeyond the Carpathian Mountains, in the land called Transylvania, there lived a monster that preyed on men and fed on their blood. It crossed the great sea, driven by a greater need than the bloodlust, to seek out a woman of great beauty and great power. From Caliber Comics comes a comic adaptation of F. W. Murnau’s 1920's classic German silent feature film that was the first incarnation in cinema of the 'Dracula' legend of life and undeath. A film many have heard of but have not seen.
About the Author
KEN HOLEWZYNSKI jumped into the black and white comic explosion in early 1990’s, first self-publishing, and then honing his skills and eventually doing work in various roles for many of the new independents at that time. Starting out lettering for First Comics, and then doing letters, colors and covers for Now Comics, Holewczynski has created original work with long-time collaborator, RAFAEL NIEVES, finding a steady home for works at Caliber Press. His expressionistic style eventually caught the eye of Vortex Comics, who brought Holewczynski on to ink the black and white relaunch of Dean Motter’s Mr. X.The same period also saw the three-issue sci-fi uptake on the German classic, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, entitled Caligari 2050, published by Monster Comics.
