The Complete Little Orphan Annie, Vol. 13

Harold Gray (w & a & c)

Will “The World’s Greatest Cartoonist” get a chance to prove his worth? And if so, will the public take into their hearts an orphan character with the unlikely name of “Little Widget, the Waif”? That may be the least of Annie’s worries as she finds herself caught between spies and counterspies in an adventure that reprises the quest for “Daddy” Warbucks’ atomic bomb formula! And if that weren’t enough, the inscrutable Joe Christmas enters the picture, the mysterious Mr. Am returns, and Annie comes face to face with the man she most likely fears more than any other—the deadly criminal named Axel! Volume Thirteen of The Complete Little Orphan Annie reprints all daily and Sunday strips from January 12, 1947 to August 18, 1948.

Batman: The Silver Age Newspaper Comics, Vol. 3: 1969-1972

Whitney Ellsworth, E. Nelson Bridwell (w) • Al Plastino, Nick Cardy (a) • Pete Poplaski (c)

The final volume of the Silver Age Batman Newspaper Comics features a veritable Who’s Who of Gotham City and beyond: Superman, Green Arrow, The Penguin, Joker, Mad Hatter, Riddler, Scarecrow, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, Two-Face, Catwoman, Batgirl, Killer Moth, Poison Ivy, and Black Canary, plus the introduction of the mysterious Man-Bat! And if that wasn’t enough, included are the four months of rare 1972 strips that were created by the Ledger Syndicate, without DC’s input, in which Batman was no longer featured, although Bruce Wayne continued as a character. Batman expert Joe Desris explains it all in an insightful introduction. This book includes all strips from June 1, 1969 through April 29, 1972.
