Media Release -- This weekend, Hermes Press debuts four new library edition reprint books at the New York Comic Con, adding to their already-impressive library of hardcover vintage comic book reprints. Located at booth #1903, Hermes Press will also have earlier reprint editions on hand.
First up is My Favorite Martian: The Complete Series-Volume One, which collects seven issues of the Gold Key comic book series. With stories by the prolific writer Paul S. Newman, and art by Russ Manning, Mike Arens and Dan Spiegle, My Favorite Martian represents the misadventures of the wacky Uncle Martin as he tries to make it in the world of Space Race America. To make sure as many people as possible pick up this rare gem, it's being offered for $20 off at NYCC only-for a final sale price of $29.99!
Hermes Press plunges into the comic book adventures of The Ghost Who Walks with The Phantom: The Complete Series-The Gold Key Years, Volume One. Representing the first eight issues of Gold Key's take on The Phantom, with stories by Bill Harris and art by Bill Lignante, this is the start of an eight-volume set of Phantom comics and a perfect companion to our library editions of the classic comic strip.
Johnny Hazard, Frank Robbins' WWII aviator, takes flight in his own reprint series, which will cover the entire run of the strip that appeared from 1944 to 1946. Busting out of a P.O.W. camp in his first story, Johnny went on to fight femme fatales, spies, and all the dangers of the post-War world.
Finally, the long awaited Brenda Starr comic strip reprint gets a sneak peek at the Con, with an exclusive galley of the upcoming hardcover book ready for flipping through. It'll be your chance to follow the first adventures of the comics page's favorite feisty redheaded reporter.
