Anaheim, CA: Image Comics, 1993. First Printing [Stated]. Wraps. 32 pages, plus covers. Illustrations (most in color). Robert Liefeld (born October 3, 1967) is an American comic book creator. A prominent writer and artist in the 1990s, he is known for co-creating the character Cable with writer Louise Simonson and the character Deadpool with writer Fabian Nicieza. In the early 1990s, Liefeld gained popularity due to his work on Marvel Comics' The New Mutants and later X-Force. In 1992, he and several other popular Marvel illustrators left the company to found Image Comics, which started a wave of comic books owned by their creators rather than by publishers. The first book published by Image Comics was Liefeld's Youngblood #1. Liefeld has been called one of the most controversial figures in the comic industry for his drawing skills, business practices, and controversial comments. Supreme is a fictional superhero created by Rob Liefeld and published by Image Comics (1992?96 and 2012?15), followed by Maximum Press (1996?98), Awesome Entertainment (1999?2000), and Arcade Comics (2006). Although Supreme was originally a violent, egotistical Superman archetype, he was retooled by Alan Moore as a tribute to Mort Weisinger's Silver Age Superman. The character had a 56-issue comic book series, a six-issue miniseries, and a revival in 2012 consisting of six issues. Beginning with issue #41, Moore's run was collected in two trade paperbacks from the Checker Book Publishing Group, Supreme: The Story of the Year and Supreme: The Return. Moore's work on the series earned him an Eisner Award for Best Writer in 1997. More

Foreword by Marian Wright Edelman. Introduction by Cecilia Balli. Inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper; Inscription reads: For Tony, With Thanks, Steve Liss, April 10, 2007. This courageous work of photojournalism goes inside the juvenile justice system to offer an intimate, often disturbing view of children's experiences in juvenile detention. His striking photographs reveal that these are vulnerable children--sometimes as young as ten--coping with a detention environment that most adults would find harsh. In the accompanying text, the author brings in the voices of the young people who describe their already fractured lives and fragile dreams, as well as the words of their parents and juvenile justice workers who express frustration at not having more resources with which to help these kids.

New York: Simon & Schuster, 1990. First Edition. First Printing. 378, illus. Tracing events from the Midwestern states of Indiana and Kentucky to the East Coast, the author of such major bestsellers as Serpico and King of the Gypsies has written a dramatic and terrifying book about a charming and successful psychopath and the woman who loved him--and whom he murdered. The custody battle over the couple's infant son makes this true story all the more tragic. In 1984 the hideously beaten body of a young woman--a wife and new mother--was discovered in a roadside ditch in a remote mountainous area of eastern Pennsylvania. She had apparently been sexually assaulted as well. She was Teresa Benigno Taylor, a beautiful Italian-American born in New York City, recently married to Kenneth Z. Taylor, a dentist from Indiana with a seemingly bright future. More
