From the dawn of creation there have been storytellers spinning timeless fables and folktales. Call them historians, poets, philosophers, or charlatans, it was their fanciful re-tellings of the age of wonder that kept children enwrapped in fantasy and immersed in imagination. But over the last two centuries something dark has been devouring the storytellers and even the stories themselves, leaving children with dulled imaginations and no will to believe in giant killers or wicked witches. Abby was one of those children and is now a young woman who still lives only in the concrete reality of her professional ambitions. Raised by a mother who had no time for “childish pursuits,” she grew up too fast and locked her fertile imagination away forever. But Abby’s orderly world comes crashing down upon her when a crazy old man who believes himself to be the real Baron Munchausen leads her into a festering fantasy world facing villainous henchmen, zombified fairytale creatures, and the most unlikely wickedest witch of them all. Dynamite Entertainment proudly presents an event that reshapes how we look at fables and the imagination!

Is a culture of conflict too seductive not to be irresistible? These are the questions 2008 Eisner Award Winner Cathy Malkasian explores in her second graphic novel, Temperance, a fully realized, multi-layered world, inhabited by vividly realized characters and master craftsmanship. After a brutal injury in battle, Lester has no memory of his prior life. For the next thirty years his wife does everything to keep him from remembering — and re-constructing — a society, Blessedbowl, that elevates him as a hero. Blessedbowl is a cultural convergence of lies, memories, stories, and beliefs. Its people thrive on ideas of persecution, exceptionality, and enemies, convinced that war lurks just outside their walls. Malkasian creates a densely textured social context, masterfully conveying the idiosyncratic physical domain with its spiraling structures and quasi-medieval architecture along with intimate yet plastic portraits of her characters in a rich, tonal pencil line. Temperance is a galvanizing work of empathy and violence by one of today’s the most thoughtful and accomplished cartoonists. Be there! HC, 8x10. 240pgs, PC $22.99 THE SEARCH FOR SMILIN’ ED!

Reclining on a specially designed base, Sakaki is 4 ¾ inches tall and 7 ¾ inches long (1/7th scale). Sculpted by Gen Ishizuka, the high school beauty is constructed of high-quality pvc plastic. The second Great King Azumanga character is OSAKA (SWIMSUIT VERSION).

The schoolgirl, originally released as a limited event exclusive garage kit in 2002, is back in a beautiful Ani*Statue that requires no assembly or painting! Serene and composed, the day dreaming Osaka sits curled up with an inflatable pink floatation tube on a specially designed base. Dressed in a nondescript red swimsuit, the innocently cute girl looks upward with her huge brown eyes as though she were looking straight into yours. Great care has been placed on making Osaka’s pose look natural, and so the young schoolgirl rests one hand on the other and sits with one leg forward and the other turned to the side. Sculpted by Tsukuru Shirahige, Osaka is 4 inches tall (1/7th scale) and is constructed of high-quality pvc plastic. SAKAKI-SAN—Statue $64.99 OSAKA—Statue $54.99 SISTER PRINCESS ~ SAKUYA SWIMSUIT VER. ANI*STATUE A KOTOBUKIYA Japanese import! The 4-Leaves “Legends Girls” lineup from Kotobukiya focusing on the “eternal heroines” of Japanese manga and anime continues with another pretty girl from Sister Princess, the long-running bishoujo series consisting of light novels, manga, video games, and anime. After Kaho the “sister type” comes SAKUYA SWIMSUIT VER., the emotionally fragile and easily flustered modern teenager. Originally released as a garage kit in 2002, the classic Sister Princess swimsuit-clad beauty is back, fully painted and ready for you to display! Based on an original character illustration, Sakuya is ready for an exciting day at the beach wearing a tiny bikini with a huge revolver strapped to her hip. Her confident manner is apparent in her pose, flipping back her long hair and balancing on the toes of one foot, which also serves to emphasize her pretty legs. Updated for this new release, Sakuya’s sculpt is top notch, with intricate detailing on the young lady’s necklace and weapon. The most difficult thing about the original garage kit was getting the paint just right, but Kotobukiya’s master painters have made that a thing of the past. Sakuya’s creamy skin tone is perfectly offset by her peach and orange bikini, brown belt and hair, and bright blue eyes. Standing 7 inches tall (in 1/8th scale), Sakuya was sculpted by Takahiro Ayase and comes fully assembled. Statue $59.99 HAPPINESS! ~ JUN WATARASE ANI*STATUE A KOTOBUKIYA Japanese import!

The pretty Jun Watarase wears not just any old school uniform, but the most frequently requested and sought after Mizuhosaka Academy version. His soft peach and white shirt gracefully matches the darker brown of his very short skirt and shoes, while his legs are encased in dark stockings. Jun’s long purple hair, framing his feminine bishoujo face, fans out around his back in thick tendrils as the schoolboy leans forward with one foot in front of the other. You can display Jun in two distinct ways with included extra pieces, either with the normal cute face or a second one with mouth open and alternate left arm touching his lips! Sculpted by Takahiro Obata and standing 7 inches tall (1/8th scale), Jun is constructed of high-quality pvc plastic and comes with an acrylic display base.
