Tex Morton
"Tex Morton was an early country music star in New Zealand, Australia, and, to a lesser degree, in southern Asia. In a time when the American country-music boom was just beginning to echo around the world, Morton turned his natural talent for yodeling into full-blown country music stardom, even making his way to America for a time. Andrew K. Smith's biography explores Morton's early life, his burgeoning career, his tumultuous stardom, his final years, and his lasting place in the global phenomenon of country music"--
The Shangri-Las’ Golden Hits of the Shangri-Las
Of the many girl-groups that came out of the 1960s, none is more idiosyncratic and influential than the Shangri-Las. They were together only five years, but within that time they subverted pop standards and foreshadowed a generation of tough women in music. Critically, they are not lauded in the way of the Ronettes, and they are certainly not a household name like the Supremes. They were a little too low-brow with an uncouth flair for theatrics that has placed them just left of the girl-group canon. This book examines the still-elusive validation of 1960s girl-groups as a whole, but also paradoxically aims to free the Shangri-Las from that category, viewing them instead with the sort of individuality traditionally afforded to rock groups. They were somehow able to challenge the status quo under the guise of sticky-sweet pop, a feat not many pop groups can achieve, but which they do fleetingly but not insubstantially in Golden Hits of the Shangri-Las.

Creepy Archives Volume 4
Pulpy, smart, and scary, the stories in Creepy constituted some of the best shortform horror fiction ever told in comics. With legendary comics writer/editor Archie Goodwin both editing the magazine and crafting most of its storytelling, Creepy was at once a newsstand favorite with fright fans, and a vaunted showcase of fine comics art for serious fans of the art form. For decades, the only sources for these stories were the expensive collectible original issues. Now Dark Horse is collecting all of the original material from the history of Creepy magazine into a hardcover archive library that is garnering rave reviews from fans and critics alike! * "... this superlatively packaged Creepy Archives hardcover is a fine dénouement for fans of EC and comics history." Boston Weekly Dig * Grab your bleeding glasses and crack open this fourth big volume, collecting Creepy issues #16#20.
