Skywalker is the new, unexpected hero of the Rebellion. But the galaxy hasn't been saved yet - Luke and Princess Leia are finding there are many more battles to be fought against Darth Vader and the Empire This latest Star Wars Omnibus reprints many of the early tales of the Rebellion. First, we have Shadow Stalker, Tales from Mos Eisley, and River of Chaos - all of which are long out of print and have never before been collected Then, Splinter of the Mind's Eye, a story created by George Lucas and Alan Dean Foster before there were plans for any films past Star Wars: A New Hope.

This spectacular new hardcover collects the Batman stories illustrated by Marshall Rogers, whose work helped redefine The Dark Knight as a more human hero. Featuring bold, rich portrayals of The Joker, Clayface, Hugo Strange and The Penguin set in sweeping, gothic portrayals of Gotham City, this book includes Bruce Wayne’s love affair with Silver St. Cloud and her astonishing discovery of his alter ego.

One of the true and unanticipated highlights on a dull and tepid comic book scene in the late 1970's, the Steve Englehart/Marshall Rogers/Terry Austin run in Detective Comics is one of the most memorable eras of the Dark Knight's adventures. Now available in a single volume, Batman: Strange Apparitions featuring an introduction by Englehart and a new cover by Marshall Rogers and Terry Austin. Reprinting Detective Comics #469-476, #478, and #479 (which also includes work by writer Len Wein and artist Walter Simonson), these stories chroniclize Batman's struggles with a corrupt city government headed by "Boss" Rupert Thorne along with battling classic villians such as Hugo Strange, the Penguin, Deadshot, Clayface, Dr Phosphorus, and the Joker. This classic run was the blueprint for the first Tim Burton Batman movie and Batman: The Animated Series.

Originally published in single magazine form as DETECTIVE COMICS #469-479.
