The Cross Earths Caper
The Return Of The Gods:Twilight of the Super Heroes
Price: £21.89 (excl. VAT)Prints in 3-5 business days
Earth’s heroes and crime-fighters are going about their daily tasks –fighting a giant robot controlled by a mad scientist’s brain, attackers both human and mystical -even alien high priests of some mysterious cult and their zombie followers and, of course, a ghost and a young genius lost in time.
Pretty mundane.
But psychics around the world have been sensing something. A "something" that sends feelings of sheer terror through their psyches.
There is a huge alien Mother-ship near the Moon. Undetected by deep-space radar and other instruments, only a few on Earth have sensed it and they cannot penetrate the hull but only feel psychic screams and....worse.
And then it begins: strange orange spheres isolate and chase some of Earth’s heroes who then vanish into thin air –are they dead? An attack by an old foe or foes -?
Black, impenetrable domes cover cities world-wide.
Then it becomes clear to those within the domes what is going on: Alien invasion of Earth!
A war between the Dark Old Gods and the pantheons that followed!
Warriors from Earth’s past having to battle each day and whether they die or not they are back the next day!
No one suspects the driving force behind the events. One single evil guiding events. Events that could cause destruction and chaos throughout the multiverse.
Assaulted on all fronts can Earth’s defenders succeed or will they fail...is this truly the end?

Two issues away from...The Green Skies!
The Druid (having helped rescue the Zero Heroes last issue) takes a walk to the local chippe with The Avenger. What can go wrong? Well, the ttle reads "In The Hands of Chung Ling Soo" so guess?
The Z Man tries to waren everyone about The Trial but seems to just confuse people. Meanwhile, the German superheroes who survived Zeit Geist (even if their parallels did not) gather together. Something is going on,,,but what?
Herne the Hunter continues on his quest while Ace Hart is setting about righting wrongs in his own way. Of course the Iron Warrior is putting in an appearance...as is Ghost Investigator Dene Vernon -but if he survives this one...welll...
Jasmine deals with Kathatakathalaka in her own way...now but not now -long time ago. Zom would understand! He might also understand Zark in a text story last seen in 1951. Considering he may be a Martian if he's still around his future might be a bit bleak.
Supernatural justice with The Bat and Madam Foretell is predicting everything but what happens when the skies go green! And there is more but you'll need to buy the book!
Described as "A solid, cracking read from cover to cover" this is probably the best British anthology out there...all 80 pages of it!

Hot off the presses!
Yes, the fourth issue of BTSH is here and it is so crammed full of eye boggling action that we had to use adamantium staples to keep it all together!
Kotar, Sabuta along with Tarot and Lady Silvana face the werewolf while the Zero Heroes are in a church surrounded by zombies and what happens to "the other guy" at the end...I'm asking -what happened?
Jack finds that he could have had a fatal dose, while The Trial continues and the mystery deepens.
There is more -much much more!
Blue Saviour is the cover star and a tribute to creator David A. Johnson who brightened up Bath comic marts with his Blue Saviour, Madame Mystery and Enigma comics!

the first books are about to be removed
After a few discussions I think that I have settled on a plane regarding Black Tower Comics and Books.
Firstly an online store that has been up and running since 2009 and has around 200 titles covering all genres and subject -comics, comic albums, Graphic novels as well as magazines and books on "world mysteries" should be selling product. I know people hate me calling my books, published to sell, "product". Why? I am not going to call them my "babies"!
Views of posts on the books total over 4 million themselves and CBO has a truly world wide audience and books ordered online are printed and priced and posted in the region they are ordered from. No expensive international mail charges.
Money to be paid to me currently from sales is...15p (15c) and I have no idea where that came from. I have watched and talked to the publishers who have quit so I learn a lot.
What I intend to do, and this should be completed by the end of 2023 (I have a lot of work to get out of the way) is purchase 50 copies of each book and once I have those the book will disappear from the online store permanently. After that the books will be sold via Ebay or through ordering direct from me by mail (I think I am opting for the latter but Ebay can make me a bigger profit). No international orders accepted just UK and once the books are sold they are done with.
At the moment I am going over the fine details -it's been pointed out to me that on Ebay I can set a price and people bid from there. The idea is to make the maximum profit because I have bills to pay and my health ain't that great any more.
It's taken a lot of thinking but if no one orders from the store what is the point of having a store? I will start ordering copies of books in a couple o0f weeks so if anyone checks the online store they will see books gradually vanish. Hey -whoever buys knows they have a limited issue book.
Once the first books are about to be removed I'll post an update.
