On the occasion of Veterans day, what better book to preview than the extraordinary LUCKY IN LOVE by George L. Chieffet and Stephen DeStefano. The story follows Lucky Testatuda, a young man from New Jersey who discovers a lot about life and love in World War II.

This list is not comprehensive, as there are over 200 books about comic strips scheduled from September to December. These are just the titles which caught my eye.
