Think about it. Every noir detective has one of those cases... where a troubled dame or a rugged gentleman knocks on his door that launches him into a mystery only he can solve. This is the same for JACK FRY, a normal man who walks on some not-so-normal streets. Behind every corner or lurking in every shadow is some kind of monster, ghoul, or extra-terrestrial. This book is a collection of three stories featuring Jack’s encounters with the supernatural by splashy new writer Walker Young. Featuring the artistic stylings in “What’s at Stake” by the Fillbach Brothers, “The Missing” by Daniel Caval, and “...by Night” by Manny Bello, this substantial record of Jack Fry’s first solo adventures is a collection any sci-fi and noir fan won't want to miss.

"Please allow me to introduce myself," Larry Young began his series of columns on comic book self-publishing for the comic book criticism website Savant. TRUE FACTS was a how-to for self-publishers, written by "the Johnny Appleseed of Comics." Savant editor Matt Fraction called them "one part instructional guide, one part motivational, and one part awesome."

With step-by-step instructions, each column provides the nut-and-bolts information that you need to produce and publish your own comic book. From the execution of the concept, to definitions of pre-press and printing, from distribution and branding of your comic to the mechanics of the writing of effective press releases, every column is printed here in its entirety. For this absolutely special, archival 2025 anniversary edition, however, each column is expanded upon and updated with all-new information; not to mention its spiffy new cover.

We gather here today to once again bask in the neon glow of Steve’s mind. Well beyond the beaded curtain, in a room where the carpet crunches with each step, before you lies a collection of film reviews that resonate on an electric level deep below the cultural zeitgeist. Films destined to sink to the depths are given new life by a devoted archivist of cinema’s forgotten gems. Steve’s curation continues to rock my brain and commandeer my bad movie nights. Each review is a celebration of films I thought existed only in the twelve year old version of my brain who’s up all night watching triple features on Cinemax. I wish I could delete every movie listed in these volumes and watch them again for the first time. Although... there is something special about discovering the ‘weird’ films that hold a special place in your heart are not islands, but town squares where our eclectic spirits congregate. -- Mark Espinosa, from his introduction.

This year’s UNTITLED series shows its process and its progress by having contained in this thirty-six page monstrosity a short story we said would never happen… never COULD happen… another PLANET OF THE CAPES adventure by Walker Young and superstar artist Brandon McKinney! Last season, the artists the Fillbach Brothers did a harrowing but poetic tale of World War II called “Going Dark,” and this book shows you the DVD extras by showing you the cowboys’ notes and layouts for the whole thing, and bringing us home is illustrator Manny (HENCH, DUGOUT) Bello with another Jack Fry tale: JACK FRY: NIGHT SHIFT. NSFW catchphrase, coming to website copy soon near you!

"In the unsophisticated hands of any number of self-proclaimed cinephiles, the phrase “Wait? Have You Not Seen…?” would be laced with a venomous tone of condescension. What sets Steve apart is his clear appreciation for these movies and his excitement to simply share them with the world. He is a grimed-up cinematic historian whose expertise focuses (but not exclusively) on films that dance on the fringes of mainstream consciousness. The movie you caught ten minutes of during a free trial of HBO that features that guy who was also in that other movie you loved as a kid. His recommendations push far beyond box office acclaim; focusing more on often uncelebrated cinematic touchstones that exist within your consciousness whether you realize it or not. To walk the dimly lit video store of his mind, you’d find a nonchalant clerk who devotes attention to every frame, every background character, every subtle whisper of dialogue and barely audible music playing on a boombox when the Ghostbusters get their first call that only three people in the world ever noticed and one of them was the singer of the song. This power zine is ideal for cinematic aficionados or open-minded individuals eager for recommendations on what to watch on a rainy Thursday night. Enjoy." -- Mark Espinosa, from his Introduction.

Cogent Analysis of and Rude Suggestions for the Comic Book Industry 2001-2005: These are all of writer/publisher Larry Young’s columns for Comic Book Resources at the turn of the 21st century, featuring interviews with talent like Matt Fraction and Joe Casey, how-tos and attaboys with Elseworlds Batman pitches with Charlie Adlard art, a Kamandi re-envision, and the complete Image/Motown series bible. If you want to see how it’s done and what some guy in the middle of it thought about it as it was happening, this is the historical document you’ve been hoping for. As seen on MSNBC, just like that AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. book, but this makes a little more sense, because it has a piece in it by national security expert Bradley P. Moss.

Larry Young’s AGENTS OF SHIELD: Collecting the seven years of pop culture criticism from Spunkybean, this two hundred and eight page monstrosity doesn’t just feature trenchant insights of each episode as they were originally aired, but the collection also features Larry’s homespun style, unvarnished opinions, and apparently an X-ray of a cat. Featuring writer and bon vivant Eric Palicki’s introduction and Spunkybean editor and raconteur EJ Feddes’ heartwarming afterword, this collection is obviously meant for the superfans.

Contained in these amazing thirty-two pages are two short stories collected into one book of awesomeness by writer Walker Young, the artists the Fillbach Brothers, and illustrator Daniel Caval. The first story is a World War II tale come to life about two soldiers: one who gets blinded and the other who helps lead him to safety. Poignant and moving and what NBC/Universal’s Linda Jackson calls, “a fantastic debut work by an obviously can’t-miss new talent.” The second tale is Jack Fry: The Missing, featuring the first appearance of the modern noir-style detective tasked with finding a missing husband. But like all really, really good mysteries, the end of the case is something Fry just couldn’t see coming.
