For young Thoth, hunger and pain is a way of life, twisting his heart into believing that no wickedness is too costly if it can afford a means of escape—not even the betrayal of one’s sole confidant in the wretched, unfeeling world. With art by the inimitable Jones, co-written by Busiek, responsible for the most successful relaunch of a fantasy character in comics history, and Wein, mastermind behind many of comics’ most beloved modern heroes, this series finally reveals the secrets behind the dread sorcerer Thoth-amon!

Her limited-edition prints and engravings have become favorites of art collectors nationwide. By special arrangement with Ms. Slick and Area Arts, we are delighted to apply some of Grace’s favorite images to a new set of stationery and a journal. Fascinated by the timeless image of Alice at the mirror, Grace says “It seems that the desire to find oneself is at the heart of the mirror story. Although very often we are just as deep or shallow on the other side, we keep trying to uncover some spectacular unknown quality that makes us who we are.” This fun stationery set takes a step in that direction. In considering the white rabbit, and the doors he has opened for Alice, Grace Slick reflects: “On the strong knee of my own curiosity, I will find the most exquisite friend. The fat fluffy dream carries me through all the elusive rides this life offers. Some call them trials, I call them adventures. An elaborate cartoon, let the stories continue!” And this journal provides a home for YOUR stories.

But practicing virgin or not...Adam is about to lose it. Just a few weeks shy of marrying the girl of his dreams — the only woman God has said he can ever know sexually — Adam's fate, future and sex life are cast in direct opposition with God's Word.

Featuring the deft, cutting edge writing skills of seven-time Eisner Award nominee Steven T.
