The Complete Wraith
The Wraith was a cult classic during the early days of indie comics in the 1970s, and a training ground for Gilbert's later work on Elric and Mr. Monster. Created as a funny-animal version of Will Eisner's Spirit, The Wraith's fans included Eisner himself who wrote "The Wraith has a lot of originality. Your style and approach are very vigorous!" The Wraith appeared in all six issues of Star*Reach's Quack! The Complete Wraith collects every story, scanned from the original art, a wealth of unpublished art and photos, plus an intro by Mr. Monster himself! Gilbert's commentary on each story provides a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the 1970s comic book scene.
Mr. Monster
Michael T. Gilbert's Mr. Monster is back in a new book collection featuring twelve twisted tales of Forbidden Knowledge, collecting all the hard-to-find Mr. Monster stories from A-1, Crack-A-Boom!, and Dark Horse Presents in mysterious black and white! Volume Zero also includes over 30 pages of all-new Mr. Monster art and stories. Can your sanity survive the Lee/Kirby monster spoof by Michael T. Gilbert and Mark Martin? Or how about the long-lost 1933 Mr. Monster newspaper strip? Then there's the extra-special 8-page full-color insert featuring a terrifying Trencher/Mr. Monster slug-fest, drawn by Keith Giffen and Michael T. Gilbert! Can you stand the horror as titans (and art-styles) clash? Talk about Forbidden Knowledge! All this and more will be revealed in Mr. Monster: His Book Of Forbidden Knowledge. Read it at your own risk!

Gilbert and Sullivan
Illustrated with biographical as well as professional detail, this text suggests that Gilbert and Sullivan's creative partnership was fuelled by their ongoing personality clash, as each partner challenged the other to produce his best work.
Fear To Tread
The story of how Mr. Weatherall, the headmaster of a school and an ordinary man, was introduced to a huge nationwide black market operation. It seems anything goes to ensure profits of crime on a vast scale. Moreover, was the victim run over by a train before, or after, he died? And can Weatherall succeed in a one man battle against such odds?
The Secret Files of Dr. Drew
In 1949, three of Will Eisner's 'ghosts' created this remarkable horror comic strip featuring Dr. Desmond Drew, a paranormal investigator - a Sherlock Holmes of the supernatural. Beautifully drawn by future Creepy contributor Jerry Grandenetti and written in a gripping pulp style by Marilyn Mercer, these 13 chilling stories have been collected and digitally restored while retaining the exquisite design and artwork that characterised the output of the legendary Eisner studios.
The Etruscan Net
Robert Broke is an authority on Etruscan terracotta. He is the last person to become mixed up in anything risky. But when two men arrive in Florence, Broke's world is upset as he becomes involved in a ring of spies, the mafiosi and fraud. He then finds himself charged with manslaughter, and must fight for his innocence and his life.
Tailipoe
Young Hamilton feels the weight of responsibility when he must manage the family empire, even while coping with his personal monster from folklore, the creature called Tailipoe.
Ashenden
Ashenden, Or The British Agent is founded on Maugham's experiences in the English Intelligence Department during World War I, but rearranged for the purposes of fiction. This fascinating book contains the most expert stories of espionage ever written. For a period of time after it was first published the book became official required reading for persons entering the secret service. The plot follows the imaginary John Ashenden who during World War I is a spy for British Intelligence. He is sent first to Geneva and later to Russia. Instead of one story from start to finish, the chapters contain individual stories involving many different characters. All of the people whom Ashenden meet during his travels have their own reason for being involved in the spy game, and each are more complex than they first look.
