 MAD ZEPPLIN BY AEG! An Awesome & Cool Little Game! 1890. At the height of the industrial revolution the Great Empire is about to take delivery of many secret crates from its colonies. These crates contain all the Emperor needs to strengthen his rule on the Empire: steel coal ore and above all: gold! For security reasons the Emperor himself has hand-picked the crew of the Nostria one of the armoured zeppelins of the imperial fleet. However neighbouring nations are organizing the resistance and traitors are secretly boarding the airship to thwart the Emperor?s plans. Available now at the Source!

 SEX, DICE AND GAME CHICKS! Great Stuff From Mongoose Publishing! The funniest gaming book of the year! Sex, Dice and Gamer Chicks casts an introspective and irreverent eye onto gamers themselves. Just what drives a rules lawyer? What are the secrets to fame, success and riches as an all-star games designer? Are female gamers weird? These questions and many others are ignored as Sex, Dice and Gamer Chicks tweaks and teases apart the very fabric of gaming and those who call themselves gamers. Written by James Desborough and Jonny Nexus, both World-class Gaming Personalities themselves, Sex, Dice and Gamer Chicks will have you in stitches from beginning to end! Essential reading for gamers, gamer spouses, gamer family members and gamer widows – provided they have a sense of humour. Available at the Source!

 TIM’S  BACK ISSUE CORNER NEWS & NOTES!
News & Notes Regarding Back Issue Activity at the Source! 
Welcome to Tim’s Corner,  Sometimes when I read comics, I think, if  all the stuff that happens to comic book characters in what appears to  be short periods of time and month after month, would happen to a  regular person, they would go insane.  Peter Parker should be bouncing  off the walls.  Then I watch the news and read what happens to people  in the world, and there are people that deal with challenges and  tragedies day after day and persevere.  I wish everyone going through  personal challenges and tragedies well. Enough serious stuff, time to get down to the serious stuff: comic  books.  From collections we have several issues of the Classics  Illustrated series that First comics put out a number of years ago.   Also, some early issues of the JLA title, Marvel Super Hero Secret 
Wars, early issues of Marvel Team up vol 1, a number of issues of the  Marvel Star Wars title, and finally some issues of Thor in the late  200’s.  Also the usual packs, and recent comics made their way out to  the floor.  In the words of Stan Lee, Excelsior!
