The Art of Louis Shabner
Louis Shabner began his career producing shop window advertising for brands such as Every Ready, Ovaltine and Chivers jams, amongst others, but is best known for his paintings of sultry sirens. During the 1960s and 1970s his prints, which were available through shops such as Boots chemists and by post through Freemans catalogues, adorned lounge walls up and down the UK.

Transformation: A Personal Journey Through the British Transformers Comic Volume 1: 1984-1987
Starting in 1984, the British Transformers comic wasn't just a successful toy advert, it taught a generation of British schoolboys how to read through its exciting action packed pages. With sales that vied with 2000AD writers Simon Furman and Bob Budiansky created a generation of fan boys that have never looked back. Stuart Webb was one such reader, and in 2012 he began a journey looking through every single issue of the series, commenting on its highs and lows. He became the first person to look at every backup strip, every comedic cartoon and each editorial and how they worked together to create the most thorough exploration of a publishing phenomenon ever undertaken. It's also personal, full of humour and silliness and even the occasionally thoughtful moment. The final result is an essential read, for Transformers fans, and those interested in the history of Marvel comics in the UK and the impact this comic had on an entire generation.

Since the middle of the last century, many people around the world have reported sightings of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and speculated that they were alien spacecraft. Some witnesses have reported seeing nonhumans emerge from otherworldly craft and even having interactions with these intelligent beings.

Fans of the paranormal will enjoy delving into juicy, eyewitness tales from the United States and around the world. Assessing the evidence, readers can decide for themselves whether someone else is truly out there.
