“SHARK ATTACK!” Mako the shark-man is out for blood! SAVAGE DRAGON comes with our highest possible recommendation.

By the time Jim Thompson was sixteen years old, he had been a newspaper boy, a burlesque show hawker, a plumber's helper, a comedian in two-reel pictures, a night bellboy in a luxury hotel and over a dozen other occupations. By the time he was eighteen, he was driving across America in a broken-down Ford without a penny to his name and his mother and his kid sister Freddie in tow, looking for just one more paycheck to keep them all alive. A bittersweet comedy of a hard-won American life, ROUGHNECK chronicles the many jobs, near-criminal escapades, and downright unlawful grifts of the man who would become one of crime fiction's most enduring writers, in a larger-than-life literary memoir--or wildly entertaining tall tale--as only Thompson could tell it. Hard times have never sounded so good.

“THE STORY OF PAUL!” Paul Dragon's secrets revealed! Malcolm's father from another dimension has been something of a mystery man – but at long last – we'll see how his story diverges from his Image Universe counterpart's. It's a fascinating glimpse into the past of this hallowed hero!

This love story is not for the faint of heart... After a series of events no one saw coming, Gunplay decided to keep his distance from LeTavia to keep her life from spiraling even more out of control than it had since the day he’d placed himself into it. However, the time has come for him to get her back and he’s determined to have her as the lady by his side. LeTavia is on her way home from a difficult trip to the clinic, her first step to wash away her past, when she sees Gunplay for the first time in months, looking even more irresistible than ever before. He’s the same old Gunplay, the roughest kind of thug, but there is something else. The savage in him is even wilder than ever before as he struggles to fulfill his need to conquer New York at all costs. Can they put the past behind them and move on to be the couple they once were? Gunplay is a hustler in every sense of the word, and that fact has only grown over the last few months since he’s been away. With Cutta in prison, he puts in place his plan to dominate the entire city of New York, but the more he pushes on, it seems to him that he’s greatly underestimated his opponent. In the midst of dealing with the war he’s waging in the streets, he’s also dealing with learning to control his ruthless ways. So use to shooting first and asking no questions at all, his mental stability is put to the test. Will LeTavia’s confession about what happened between she and Cutta push him over the edge? Love and loyalty. These are both things that Gunplay & LeTavia crave. But can love and loyalty be intertwined peacefully and last amid the dark evils of street life?
