Ripped from today’s world news comes a reimagining of the classic jungle girl genre debuting a new hero for the modern age!
Join the Rae sisters, recent UCLA grads, as they travel across modern-day Africa defending the defenseless. Guided by the mysterious Mr. Eden, they assume the identity of a mythical goddess and reveal their Savage Beauty.
Mike (The Phantom) Bullock presents a fresh new spin on the jungle girl genre, featuring real world conflicts in Africa and beyond.

**GREAT INTRODUCTORY PRICE!***
In this one-shot flip issue, you get NEW stories from two of Moonstone's hottest titles. Following a lead on the undead outbreaks plaguing 1877 America, reluctant agent Wade investigates rumors of an Indian curse with his partner, Flynn. They stumble into a grotesque massacre... but that's just the beginning of the horror they'll face. Who knew that these events would affect high school football players and cheerleaders over a century later!
ANGELTOWN: The Nate Hollis Investigations
Author: Gary Phillips
Interior art: Shawn Martinbrough
Cover: Michael Stribling
176pgs, b/w, 6” x 9”, HC, $19.95
Los Angeles is the birthplace of noir because the brighter the sunshine, the deeper the shadows and the more deadly the mischief that goes on in the dark.
Angeltown: The Nate Hollis Investigations is a HC from Moonstone reprinting the Vertigo mini series in glorious black and white -- the original critically praised sequential mystery featuring the cool, tough private eye's frenzied search in the shadows for a pro hoopster wanted for murder in "Baller."
**Additionally, Gary Phillips (Operator 5), has penned two original illustrated prose short stories for this volume; "Hollywood Killer," wherein superhero pretenders prowling Hollywood Boulevard for tips are getting bumped off, and "King Cow," about cattle, low-riders and babes with nazi tattoos.
Airboy Presents: AIR VIXENS #1

Art: Ben Hansen
Colors by: Bob Pedroza
Cover: Franchesco!
32pgs,color, $3.99
More story pages than ever before!
From the pages of Air Fighters comes the first issue of Air Vixens starring Black Angel, Bald Eagle and Valkyrie.
When Der Furher sent Valkyrie to smuggle secret weapons and intelligence across Europe in a zeppelin, he didn’t expect Black Angel and Bald Eagle to crash the party, and neither did they.
Tune in for the first issue featuring the high flying femme fatales of the Air Fighters in this oversized, bombastic first issue!
**RETAILER INCENTIVE: any purchase of 3 or more copies, retailers will get one free “virgin” Franchesco cover variant!
