Kirby cover: Mighty Tor menaces mankind with his Kong-sized clodhoppers. Under the covers, metaphysical monster-hunter Doctor Droom debuts. Droom, aka Anthony Ludgate Druid, became familiar to '70s Marvelites due to his revival in a revised reprint of his origin story in Weird Wonder Tales #19, before becoming one of the least-popular Avengers of all time in the 1980s. Poor Doc Druid has yet to be featured in any non-comics media (not even a Funko Pop), but the way the MCU has been scraping the bottom of the barrel lately, he's sure to pop up in a Disney+ cameo any day now.

A limited edition of ten hardcover catalogues is available, in addition to a few dozen softcovers. Fun reference, great keepsake, fully illustrated, chockablock with obscure facts, gags, bon mots. Softcovers are $40, deluxe hardcovers with dust jackets and limitation plates are $200. These books always go fast so don't delay. To order, contact ivan@pbagalleries.com.
