The staples have started to rust. The text pages are clean and bright. "Bob Sidebottom operated one of the first comic book shops in the country in San Jose, California, in the midst of head shops and panhandlers on San Fernando Street near the state college. He also owned California Comics, a small publisher of undergrounds, which launched its first comic series with Barbarian Comics in 1972. One of the first comics I got into as a kid was Conan the Barbarian, and one of my favorite funny books was Groo the Wanderer, so naturally I had high hopes for an underground comic book with a title like Barbarian Comics. I guess I was expecting something with a little more underground comic flavor than what Barbarian Comics delivers. The first two issues are dominated by the epic adventure "Sun and Steel" by Han Hale, which is about war between two groups of heavy-handed, sword-toting, filthy barbarians. The story plods along with many wordless panels and the plot is almost non-existent. However, the four-issue series does improve rapidly, as the second issue includes a sweet John Williams story and the third issue, without the Han Hale yarn, is a very good read overall." (from Underground Comicxjoint). Illustrated by Ron Harris, Tom Bird, John Williams, Hale Han, RichardCorben (illustrator).…

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Thomas Fletcher Waghorn was the pioneer of the Overland Mail Route to India via Cairo and Suez. Sea and air mail routes are to this day, evidence of Waghorn's forgotten courage and perseverance during the 19th century. Originally published in 1948, from letters and General Post Office records, this volume is amply illustrated and supplemented with maps, geographical and technical route data, government Acts, agent details, fares and postage rates, transit times, quarantine regulations and facsimiles of cachets (a distinguishing mark, or seal historically used in postal services). This book is a detailed and fascinating history of the overland mail route to India via Suez and will be of interest to those interested in the history of communications, as well as economic, political and diplomatic history.…
