ITEM # 0094A All-New X-Men VOL. 1 # 1 - 35 + Extras

All-New X-Men #1, published by Marvel Comics in 2012, marked the beginning of a bold narrative experiment within the Marvel NOW! initiative. Written by Brian Michael Bendis and illustrated by Stuart Immonen, this issue reintroduced the original five X-Men—Cyclops, Jean Grey, Beast, Iceman, and Angel—by transporting their teenage versions from the past into the modern Marvel Universe. The story unfolds in the aftermath of the events of Avengers vs. X-Men, with the present-day Cyclops leading a controversial mutant revolution alongside Magneto, Emma Frost, and Magik. The younger team, shocked by the dark path their older selves have taken, must confront not only the altered world they find themselves in but also the moral implications of their own future destinies. This comic is significant for revitalizing the X-Men mythos, blending classic character dynamics with contemporary themes of identity, legacy, and moral responsibility, and for sparking a multi-year storyline that reshaped the mutant narrative in Marvel’s continuity.

ITEM # 0020A The New Teen Titans Vol. 1 #1 – 40 + Annual

The Teen Titans’ journey through DC Comics history is one of reinvention and resilience. Debuting in The Brave and the Bold in 1964, the original lineup united sidekicks Robin, Kid Flash, and Aqualad, soon joined by Wonder Girl. Their popularity earned them an ongoing series in 1966, and over the years the roster expanded with new young heroes.

However, by the late 1970s, interest in the team had waned. After a hiatus, a short-lived revival, and a final cancellation in 1978 with issue #53, it seemed the Titans’ time had ended. But writer Marv Wolfman saw the closing of that chapter as the perfect chance for a bold new beginning—one that would not just revive the Titans, but elevate them to heights that could rival and even surpass the original.

ITEM # 0019A Teen Titans Vol. 1 #1 – 53 + Annual

Packed with camaraderie, high-energy battles, and youthful determination, this series cemented the Titans as a cornerstone of the DC Universe, inspiring generations of readers with the idea that you don’t have to be grown-up to be a hero.

ITEM # 0003A ATOMIC MOUSE - COLLECTION OF 50 COMICS

Created by writer-artist Al Fago, the funny-animal superhero Atomic Mouse debuted in Charlton Comics' Atomic Mouse #1 (cover-dated March 1953). The series ran 52 issues through cover-date February 1963, with the Grand Comics Database noting, "Overstreet has listed #53-54, but there is no evidence they actually exist." From 1961 to 1962, Charlton published an additional five issues, vol. 2, #11-16, containing reprinted material and used as promotional giveaways. Another reprint issue, Atomic Mouse vol. 3, #1 (Dec. 1984) followed, as did a three-issue fourth volume (#10-12, Sept. 1985 – January 1986). Writer Mike Curtis and penciler Charles Ettinger revamped the character in Shanda Fantasy Arts' SFA's Atomic Mouse, which ran for three issues published from 2001 to 2004. The same publisher issues the one-shot publication SFA's Atomic Mouse vs. Power Jack in 2009. Fago went on to create Atomic Rabbit (a.k.a. Atomic Bunny) and Atom the Cat.

ITEM # 2112 NIGHTWING VOL. 3 # 1 - 30 + ANNUAL

Nightwing is a superhero identity assumed by numerous fictional characters in the DC Comics universe. Prior to DC’s continuity-altering 1985 limited series, Crisis on Infinite Earths, the Nightwing identity was depicted as an invention of Superman’s during a time when he and Jimmy Olsen act as vigilantes in the Kryptonian city of Kandor; Superman draws inspiration from his encounters with Batman and Robin.

Post-Crisis, the name is attributed to a historic Kryptonian crimefighter; this hero serves as an inspiration for Dick Grayson when he sheds his Robin identity and assumes the name and a new costume. Grayson was featured in an ongoing Nightwing series between 1996 and 2009, before Grayson took on the identity of Batman.

After Grayson’s return to the Nightwing identity during DC’s 2011 event The New 52, a new Nightwing series was also established. In 2013 Nightwing moves from Gotham, where he had been since the start of the New 52, to Chicago.

In the New 52 storyline “Forever Evil”, the Crime Syndicate of Earth-3 reveals his identity as Richard Grayson, prompting Nightwing to leave the Nightwing persona behind and begin a new life as the super-spy only known as “Grayson”, resulting in the cancellation of the Nightwing series and beginning of the Grayson series.

ITEM # 0573 GUNSLINGER SPAWN # 1 - 51

Who is Gunslinger Spawn?

Gunslinger Spawn (real name Jeremy Winston) is a Hellspawn from the American West about 200 years ago. He was a close friend of Francis Parker, the great-grandfather of Al Simmons.

The Origin of Gunslinger Spawn

The story of Gunslinger Spawn unfolds in Spawn #174-175, where we learn about his tragic fate. Francis Parker (later known as Henry Simmons) was a deserter about to be executed alongside Jeremy Winston in the town of Bane.

Winston, a preacher, was falsely accused of murdering his family and sentenced to death. At the last moment, Mammon offered both men a chance for revenge. Parker refused, but Winston accepted the dark deal.

"I sold my love... I was a farmer's boy... but I never imagined love could be so painful!"

A Pact with the Devil

As the execution began, Mammon manipulated events to save Parker while Winston was killed. Shortly after, Winston was resurrected as Gunslinger Spawn, returning with a vengeance to annihilate every resident of Bane. Only Parker was spared, as Mammon had plans for him.

Did You Know?

The introduction of Gunslinger Spawn was a massive success, leading to his own solo series and solidifying him as one of the most visually striking Hellspawns in Todd McFarlane's universe.
