Gray Morrow's Orion
Sold Out $ 39.99
In their long-standing mission to excavate rare comics treasures, Hermes Press is reprinting the entirety of legendary artist Gray Morrow's Orionfrom the pages of Heavy Metal magazine. Orion is Morrow's 1978 sword and sorcery masterpiece about an Errol Flynn-like swashbuckling hero who battles evil on a strange and mystical world. The project has been a mission of Hermes Press's Christopher Irving for a decade, starting from his friendship with Morrow's widow, Pocho Morrow.
"In doing an article on Gray after his untimely death in 2001, I got to become dear friends with Pocho," Irving says. "We've always talked about getting a tribute of Gray's best work printed, and when we came across original Orion artwork, publisher Dan Herman was the first person I called."
Most of Gray Morrow's Orion will be shot directly from Morrow's original hand-colored artwork, and reproduced in full color.
Gray Morrow burst into comics in the 1950s, bringing his classic Alex Raymond-inspired style on everything from paperback covers to newspaper strips. Morrow's work graced several issues of the Warren magazines, Classics Illustrated, and westerns for DC Comics (including El Diablo with writer Robert Kanigher). Morrow also served as editor of Archie Comics' short-lived Red Circle horror line in the '70s, which included art by his contemporaries such as Alex Toth and Angelo Torres. He died in 2001, after succumbing to Parkinson's and general failing health.
Gray Morrow's Orion will be published by mid-2012, with proceeds going to his wife Pocho Morrow. Accompanying Orion will be a biographical essay by Irving as well as more samples of Morrow's inimitable artwork and storytelling.

From Volume 5's description:
Following on the heels of Hermes Press’ critically acclaimed Eisner nominated reprint of Walt Kelly’s Pogo stories from Animal Comics, Four Color Comics, and Pogo Possum in Walt Kelly’s Pogo the Complete Dell Comics Volumes One and Two ― with Volume Four having been released in November 2016― this fifth volume reprints the even more issues of Pogo Possum, #12-#14.
Walt Kelly’s Pogo, acknowledged as one of the most important and influential comic strips of all time, first appeared not in newspapers but as a feature in the Dell comic book anthology Animal Comics, as well as in Dell’s Four Color Comics before getting its own title, Pogo Possum in 1949.
It was here, in the four color world of comic books, that the feature and its characters grew and matured, ultimately becoming one of the world’s most famous comic strips.
Now fans of Pogo can see it all from the beginning with Hermes Press’ reprint of the complete Dell Comics Pogo. Noted comics historian Thomas Andrae observed that with Pogo, “Walt Kelly created a strip that is both poetic and graphically stunning as well as an important commentary on our times.”
With Hermes Press’ complete reprint of Dell Comics Pogo admirers of this groundbreaking comics feature can now witness the strip’s evolution, in an archival hardcover, digitally reconstructed to perfection.

Sky Masters of the Space Force: the Complete Dailies 1958-1961
Sold Out $ 49.99
AVAILABLE NOW
Jack Kirby’s comic strip masterpiece is presented in an archival version featuring the complete dailies from Sky Masters of the Space Force. Veteran scripters Dick and Dave Wood provided these late-1950s space/action adventure stories starring Sky Masters of the Space Force and his gang of intrepid followers which closely resemble Kirby’s work on Challengers of the Unknown (which was being published at the same time). Kirby’s artwork is embellished by Wallace Wood and later by Marvel inker extraordinaire Dick Ayers.
Sky Masters was created at the beginning of the space race — when who would get into space and to the moon first —was a national obsession. The strip takes place in the not to distant future where the United States sends men into space but hasn’t ventured much further yet. The series in clearly anchored in the late 1950s/early1960s so it serves as a highly stylized period piece that still holds up very nicely. The material used in this archival edition ranges from original art, to press proofs, to tear sheets, and boasts the best reproduction of the strip ever.

Star Hawks: The Complete Series by Ron Goulart
Sold Out
Paperback: 344 pages
9" x 12" in Black & White and Color
On October 3, 1977, Star Hawks premiered and introduced newspaper readers to the best science fiction/action comic strip in the last thirty years. Star Hawkscombined the talents of renowned science fiction writer Ron Goulart and famed comic artist Gil Kane. Kane was already one of the major talents in comic books having co-created the Green Lantern and The Atom at the beginning of the Silver Age. Kane, however, had always wanted his own newspaper strip and Star Hawks provided him with a vehicle to bring the sensibilities of comic book storytelling and design to newspaper strips. Star Hawks was the first daily strip to run in a two-tiered format, the normal size for a Sunday strip. Each daily installment of Star Hawks has the look and feel of a Sunday strip but presents the action more in the style of the best comic books. The strip ran for three-and-a-half years and has never been reprinted in its entirety. Hermes Press' Star Hawks The Complete Series reprints the entire continuity of 1252 strips which includes all of the Sunday strips.
Star Hawks The Complete Series, in addition to presenting all the Sunday strips in black-and-white, also presents sixteen pages of the Sundays in full color. The book has a Foreword by Ron Goulart together with a comprehensive essay about Kane's career. Numerous examples of original artwork used in the strip are also on display to explain Gil Kane's composition methods. The book is printed in a 9 inch by 12 inch landscape format and has 320 pages and has two 16 page color sections. Available as a trade paperback for $29.99 or as a hardcover for $49.99. The hardcover is printed in a limited edition of 1000 copies with special endpapers, a deluxe dust jacket, and is numbered with a special plate signed by Ron Goulart.
Comics Buyer's Guide Pick of the Month (August 2004) "...Hermes...provides a satisfying package. Goulart has always been noted for his combination of wacky situations, breakneck action, and inventive plotting...Kane was a master of drawing gorgeous women, heroic action and detailed futuristic settings. An excellent introduction provides background for the delightful saga of "the distant future...," - Maggie Thompson, Comics Buyer's Guide

The critically acclaimed, best selling complete reprint of The Phantom continues! Referred to by comic strip historian Maurice Horn as the “granddaddy of all costumed superheroes,” The Phantom was created in 1936 by Lee Falk with artwork by Ray Moore. The strip hit the funny pages of newspapers well before the Dark Knight or Superman made their first appearances and has been acknowledged as an influence on every “masked man of mystery” since. The Phantom set the standard for action, adventure, intrigue, and romance in adventure comic strips and comic books – it has frequently been copied but never equaled.
The daily version of The Phantom ran separately from the Sundays until the “Fathers and Sons” storyline. Starting with that story, which began on February 21, 1949 and ending with “The Ape Idol of the Durugu” concluding on May 6, 1950 the continuities ran together. Volume Nine of this series offered the first three daily/Sunday continuities and Volume Ten offers the final chapter of the combined continuities (dailies in black-and-white and Sundays in glorious color!) together with five more complete daily continuities — as the Sundays returned to their normal, separate storylines. The adventures featured in Volume Ten are: “The Ape Idol of the Durugu,” “The Movie Stars,” “The White Monkey,” “The Gray Gang,” “The Whirlpool Channel,” and “The Tiger Girl.”
Included in the volume is a comprehensive essay and documentary materials.
