by Carl Sifakis; art by Various Presenting short comics stories about the world's most interesting fakers, phonies, and hoaxsters, The Big Book of Hoaxes compiles some of history's greatest lies and false stories! Among them: Orson Welles' famous 'War of the Worlds' hoax - where people all over the country were led by a bogus radio news broadcast to believe that Martians had landed in New Jersey; and Mary Toft, who in 1726 claimed to have been sexually assaulted by a six-foot tall giant rabbit. Six months later she gave birth to live rabbits in front of doctors and other witnesses. (You'll have to read the book to find out how she managed that trick!) Written by Carl Sifakis (author of Hoaxes and Scams ), and others, this Big Book includes the work of artists Rick Geary, Randy DuBurke, Ralph Reese, Roger Langridge, and Hunt Emerson!

by John Wagner; art by Various The critically acclaimed series takes a more-reverent-than-usual turn as a host of talented artists, including Joe Sacco, Rick Geary, David Lloyd, Sherri Flenniken, Rafael Kayanan, and Colleen Doran adapt the lives (and deaths) of famous and fascinating believers, such as Jesus, St. George, Joan of Arc, Thomas Moore; two modern-day martyrs slain during the Holocaust, and the legendary tales of Bartholemew, who fought and imprisoned demons, and St. Vitus, who calmed the lions attacking him in the Coliseum and emerged from the flames of torture unscathed. This book explores the historical tortures inflicted on the early Christian community by the Romans; the oppression that followed the Church of England's split from the Vatican; and the backlash against European evangelists in the New World.

by Various Learn the things you really shouldn't know! Definitely not for the kiddies, some of the biggest talents in comics devote themselves to stories of the 'classic' vices - alcohol, tobacco, gambling, drugs, prostitution, and pornography - with special features on Sin Cities (Las Vegas, Sodom and Phenix City, Alabama), and 'benign' vices (candy, pinball machines, video games and - gasp! - comic books) thrown in for good measure. In addition, VICE profiles some of the major characters in the history of vice, such as drug guru Timothy Leary, militant prohibitionist Carrie Nation, adult-publishing magnate Larry Flynt, and more.
