Avengers Reborn Iron Man Fine Art Statue
A KOTOBUKIYA Japanese import!A 'cool exec with a heart of steel,' Tony Stark is the invincible IRON MAN, fighting for justice as a modern day knight in high-tech armor. Created in 1963 by a group of comic book luminaries (including Stan Lee and Jack Kirby), Stark was a rich playboy whose capture during the Cold War led him to create the technologically advanced powered armor suit known as Iron Man. Best known for fighting enemies such as the Mandarin and Crimson Dynamo, Stark would over the years combat his own personal demons as well, making him a very nuanced and interesting character popular the world over.
As a member of the Avengers Iron Man joined with other famous superheroes like Captain America and Thor to face even larger threats to humanity, the Earth, and even the universe! Tony Stark is battle ready as he stands in the classic Repulsor Ray-blasting Iron Man pose, both hands pointing toward an unseen enemy that's about to feel the power of his high tech weaponry!
Stepping right out of the pages of Invincible Iron Man, the Iron Man armor is intricately sculpted to highlight every armor plate and technological detail, with a stunning paint scheme in the character's traditional red and gold. Based Salvador Larocca's artwork, the Avenger's construction was overseen by the artist himself to ensure its faithfulness to the comic series!
Sculpted by master artist Erick Sosa with William Valenzuela and constructed of high-quality cold cast porcelain, Iron Man stands over 13 inches tall (1/6th scale). One foot rests on his exclusive rocky enviromental base that connects to those of the other members of the Avengers Reborn series, Thor and Captain America. Gather all three for the ultimate assembly of Avengers!

The Weird World of Eerie Publications: Comic Gore That Warped Millions of Young Minds
The Weird World of Eerie Publications: Comic Gore That Warped Millions of Young Minds
Eerie Publications' horror magazines brought blood and bad taste to America's newsstands from 1965 through 1975. Ultra-gory covers and bottom-of-the-barrel production values lent an air of danger to every issue, daring you to look at (and purchase) them.The Weird of World of Eerie Publications introduces the reader to Myron Fass, the gun-toting megalomaniac publisher who, with tyranny and glee, made a career of fishing pocketbook change from young readers with the most insidious sort of exploitation. You'll also meet Carl Burgos, who, as editor of Eerie Publications, ground his axe against the entire comics industry. Slumming comic art greats and unknown hacks were both employed by Eerie to plagiarize the more inspired work of pre-Code comic art of the 1950s.
Somehow these lowbrow abominations influenced a generation of artists who proudly blame career choices (and mental problems) on Eerie Publications. One of them, Stephen R. Bissette (Swamp Thing, Taboo, Tyrant), provides the introduction for this volume.
Here's the sordid background behind this mysterious comics publisher, featuring astonishingly red reproductions of many covers and the most spectacularly creepy art.
