Lord Cardinale, the current wielder of the Darkness invades Faerie, a land of elves with the help of Royale, a sorcerer. Only a Spawn and the new wielder of the Witchblade stand between them and their vicotry.

Compulsive Comics collects the very best of Eric Haven’s singular brand of inverted-comic-book-consciousness and genre-bending short stories. “The Glacier” is about a lone scientist making a startling discovery. The volume’s most controversial story, “I Killed Dan Clowes,” is an epic conflation of autobio and fantasy. While driving around Oakland, ruminating on the history of underground comics in the Bay Area, the main character fatally hits acclaimed graphic novelist Daniel Clowes, and the absurdity only escalates from there.

A put-upon coding monkey teams up with a seething, lovelorn super-villain to fight robots, office worker zombies, and maybe even each other as they struggle to impress the amazing women for whom they fruitlessly long. Based on the songs of internet superstar musician Jonathan Coulton.

Intended as a support title to the Femforce comic, this rotating anthology was to contain several solo stories featuring FF members and supporting cast. This premiere issue has the unpredictable Rad running afoul of a race of little aliens with an ill-fated scheme to clone her. (Guest-starring Stardust.) This untitled tale is written and partially inked by Bill Black, and pencilled by Vic Bridges. Editor Black does some reprographic experimentation on this piece, shooting halftones directly from Bridges' uninked pencils in some sequences. Then, its the conclusion of the Dragonfly saga, (picking up from the final issue of D-fly's own book, #8) as Dragonfly battles her way out of an other-dimensional Roman-style coliseum, and finally finds her way back to Earth just in time to finally destroy Psiborg, and free her Rurian friend Aleyta. Story by Rik Levins, pencils by Levins and Billie Marimon (his first assignment for AC Comics) and inks by John Dell. Bonus vintage photo section- Spotlight On Betty Page Color cover by Mark Heike, black and white interior with graytones. Standard comic book format.
