Frank Reade did exist, but only in the pages of 19th-century dime novels. While the authors have completely re-imagined and enriched those tales into a family biography, they have also restored the incredible original engravings — most of which haven’t been seen in print in more than a century — and now present these lost pieces of Americana alongside their own creatively realized imagery. Part science fiction and part alternate history, Frank Reade is equally as imaginative as the authors’ previous epic volume, Boilerplate, and presents an even more rollicking narrative.

Campion and his robot also circled the planet with the U.S. Navy, trekked to the South Pole, made silent movies, and hobnobbed with the likes of Mark Twain and Nikola Tesla.

Which is why he couldn’t tell anyone where he was... or what he saw. Those lights everyone saw in the sky weren’t tiny meteors burning up in the atmosphere; They were some kind of strange, supercooled plasma that bathed the entire field — including Kyle — in alien energies. Unfortunately, the energies also brought Mighty Mike to Earth. Kyle is the only one who knows that Mighty Mike is an alien. Everyone else thinks that Mike is just some kid who stumbled into the field, got beefed up on meteor juice, lost his memory, and decided to start rescuing kittens from trees. But Kyle knows the truth. And he’ll do anything in his power to stop Mighty Mike, even it means becoming an Archvillain!

He's pretty sure he could fix this disaster if he could expose Mike's secret (he's an alien), but to do that Kyle would have to admit he is the Azure Avenger — the unintentional town archvillain. One night a new masked hero, aptly named the "Mad Mask", arrives, boasting to the Azure Avenger of an off-the-charts IQ and superior superpowers. Yet the Mad Mask has come seeking intellectual assistance in building Ultitron (the robot of all robots). In exchange he offers to allow the Azure Avenger to use the awesome Ultitron to rid the world, or at least Bouring, of Mighty Mike. Forging alliances isn't usually Kyle's style, but it seems he has no choice. While Kyle agrees to help, he also has another plan: finding out who the Mad Mask is and how he got his powers. Because the last thing the Azure Avenger needs is another mindless archvillain hanging around town! Available in Softcover and Hardcover editions.

Michael Dobbs Nowadays it doesn't seem so that people from 20 to 60 quote Bugs Bunny, collect animation art or look forward to a new animated DVD chock full of extras. Growing up in the 1950s and '60s, cartoons were definitely kid's stuff. But by the late 1980s the status of animation had begun to change. Today, there's nothing wrong with adults decorating their work cubicle with Loony Tune action figures or a Betty Boop figurine. Michael Dobbs, who's written for Animato and Animation Planet magazines, examines how animation went from being perceived as a throwaway medium aimed at kids to a commercial artform for both adults and children. How did this change take place? How did an adult fan base for animation emerge? This book, chock-full of interviews and photos, examines the change in the animation industry.

Within this map folio, you'll find three, huge, 8-panel poster maps: one of the city of Kassai (the capital city of the empire of Minkai), one of the frozen reaches of the Crown of the World, and one of the entire continent of Tian Xia, from the chill steppes of Hongal to the north to the trackless monster-infested Valashmai Jungle far to the south. Even if you aren't running the Jade Regent Adventure Path, the maps inside reveal for the first time two more of Golarion's continents — realms filled with countless opportunities for exotic new adventure!
