Popeye: the Classic Newspaper Comics by Bobby London Volume 1 (1986-1989)
A collection of newspaper comic strips originally published February 24, 1986-April 29, 1989.
Popeye: the Classic Newspaper Comics by Bobby London Volume 2 (1989-1992)
When we say "complete," we mean COMPLETE! Bobby London's take on the Sailor Man has often been overshadowed by his being fired from the strip in 1992, ostensibly for presenting a storyline that was an allegory about abortion. In that ultimate tale, Olive had become addicted to the Home Shopping Network and ordered a Baby Brutus mechanical doll. When Popeye insists that she get rid of the "baby," two priests mistakenly believe that the baby is real and that Olive is going to exercise her pro-choice rights. King Features Syndicate pulled the final three weeks of strips and daily newspapers began running reprints. Story over in mid-stream. Now, twenty-two years later, thanks to the kind cooperation of the good folks at King Features, those three weeks will be included in this second volume of the IDW series. But wait...that's not all! Turns out that Bobby London produced an additional six weeks of strips beyond the three that were pulled from syndication! This book contains -- for the first time anywhere -- all nine weeks of "censored" Bobby London Popeye strips. Trust us, it's worth the wait!
Dirty Duck
Bobby London's legendary career as an underground cartoonist has spanned decades. London created his most enduring character, the outrageous and irrepressible Dirty Duck in 1971. He was a founding member of the infamous Air Pirates, and produced strips for National Lampoon during the heyday of that massively influential magazine. After departing the Lampoon, the cigar-chomping Dirty Duck and his creator found a home at Playboy magazine. He wrote and drew the syndicated Popeye newspaper strip for six years until a major controversy ended his tenure on Segar s sailor. This oversized volume will collect nearly all of London s influential Dirty Duck strips, from Air Pirates Funnies, National Lampoon, Playboy and other publications. Many of the strips have been scanned from the original art in the artist s vast personal archives, including rare and unpublished preliminary drawings. A contemporary of Gilbert Shelton, R. Crumb and the ZAP crew, London s legacy is a major piece of history in the great American art form. In 1978 London was awarded the prestigious Yellow Kid Award for best writer/artist at the Lucca Comics Festival for his work on Dirty Duck. Introduction by Drew Friedman."

Deadly Avenger
The humble life of Cletus Grange abruptly changes on a quiet Sunday afternoon when Green Bay Homicide Detective Vince London drives him to the city morgue for a positive ID of his daughter, Cindy, twenty-one, whose battered body was found dumped in a cornfield. Within twenty-four hours the suspect is behind bars. The autopsy reveals she had also been drugged and raped. Grange notifies his ex-wife, then disappears immediately following the funeral, his repair shop closed and the house abandoned. With the Wisconsin penal code rejecting capital punishment, Grange has no interest in the trial or the sentence. Not until he is inside the walls himself, face to face with the murderer, will the wheels of true justice begin to turn. A life for a life--and Clete will be the executioner.
This Sporting Life
This Sporting Life offers an important view of England's cultural history through its sporting pursuits, carrying the reader to a match or a hunt or a fight, viscerally drawing a portrait of the sounds and smells, and showing that sport has been as important in defining British culture as gender, politics, education, class, and religion.
The Ascent of the Detective
The figure of the detective has long excited the imagination of the wider public, and the English police detective has been a special focus of attention in both print and visual media. Yet, while much has been written in the last three decades about the history of uniformed policemen in England, no similar work has focused on police detectives. The Ascent of the Detective redresses this by exploring the diverse and often arcane world of English police detectives during the formative period of their profession, from 1842 until the First World War, with special emphasis on the famed detective branch established at Scotland Yard. The book starts by illuminating the detectives' socioeconomic bac...
