THE DAIRY RESTAURANT GN
by Ben Katchor
From the origins of the blintz to the role of dairy products in the Russian
Revolution, MacArthur Award-winning author Ben Katchor relates the fascinating
history of Jewish eating. His sweeping narrative has room for both the ersatz
"old world" menus of urban American restaurants and the looming presence of
Tevye, "the milkman." Permeated by Katchor's own yearning for eating places that
no longer exist, The Dairy Restaurant is in part a mythic quest for the Garden
of Eden. This is a work of deep imagination, packing with genuine learning but
presented in Katchor's inimitable, wonderfully entertaining blend of words and
pictures. (C: 0-1-2)

ASTRONAUT DAD VOLUME 1 GN
by Hopkins & Schoonover
Fifty years ago — October 4, 1957 — humanity entered a new age, the Space Age,
with the launch of the first artifical satellite, the Soviet Union's Sputnik I.
Return to those early days of the Space Age, when John F. Kennedy challenged a
nation to place a man on the moon before the end of the decade, when the nation
sought out test pilots with "the right stuff" to ride rockets into the night.
Written by Karma Incorporated creator David Hopkins with art by Horrorwood's
Brent Schoonover, Astronaut Dad takes readers back to those heady days and
follows a family in Liberty, Texas during the boom years of the space race.

DRACULA VS KING ARTHUR
by Beranek, Beranek, & Moreno
Vlad Tepes of the Dracul Order knows his life nears its end. His empire will be
overrun by an advancing Turkish Army, and Dracul himself will certainly be
killed and have his remains spread across the countryside — unless he makes a
deal with Lucifer himself. He will become Dracula, the first vampire, and travel
back to the days of Camelot to destroy King Arthur. The special Limited Signed
set collects the four issues of the mini-series, along with the Dracula vs.
Capone comic! The trade paperback includes 10 all-new story pages, character
sketches, concept art, and behind-the-scenes material. It's Evil Meets Medieval
in this genre-busting story!
