Author Stephan Friedt shares the story of the meteoric rise of the
Schanes brothers’ California-based imprint Pacific Comics, which
published such legends as Jack Kirby, Sergio Aragonés, Steve
Ditko, Neal Adams, Mike Grell, Bernie Wrightson, and Dave Stevens.
From its groundbreaking 1981 arrival in the fledgling direct sales
market, to a catastrophic, precipitous fall after only four years,
The Pacific Comics Companion reveals the inside saga, as told to
Friedt by Bill and Steve Schanes, David Scroggy, and many of the
creators themselves. It also focuses on the titles and the amazing
array of characters they introduced to an unsuspecting world,
including The Rocketeer, Captain Victory, Ms. Mystic, Groo the
Wanderer, Starslayer, and many more. Written with the editorial
assist of Eisner Award-winning historian Jon B. Cooke, this
retrospective is the most comprehensive study of an essential
publisher in the development of the creator’s rights movement.

More than 180 million Americans have a problem with their vision.
Most believe there's not much they can do on their own to change
how much (or how little) they see. Now there is hope. In the past
decade, an overwhelming number of clinical studies have shown that
eating specific nutrients can help maintain vision well into old
age, alleviate eye conditions, and even reverse the progress of
diseases. In this book, top ophthalmologist Dr. Neal Adams uses
clear, accessible language to translate research from hundreds of
clinical studies in ophthalmology and nutrition to show how we can
restore and maintain eyesight by changing our diet. The solution is
simple: just naturally grown foods, with nutrients clinically
proven to target the components of the eye affected by disease
and/or age. The book explains how the eye functions and what
nutrients influence these physiological processes, and includes
tailored, easy-to-understand instruction on which foods and
nutrients will target the reader's specific concerns. Particularly
helpful for the 150 million Americans who visit their eye doctors
annually as well as the 95 percent of Americans over 40 at risk for
future vision loss.
