Howdy, podners! The Terra-Firmians are Duckburg’s (and DuckTales’) craziest co-stars: Texas-talkin’ paranormal critters who live underground, make earthquakes for fun—and once emptied Uncle Scrooge’s Money Bin into their cavern! But now they need rescue from their own rebel younger generation… and if Donald Duck, “Master of Disaster,” can’t do it, no one can! Our feature story by Michael T. Gilbert (Mr. Monster) and Massimo Fecchi is followed by “The Repo-Man Cometh,” pitting Donald against the evil forces of… urban renewal?!

From the moment Marvel brought him to the U.S. in 1969, Windsor-Smith was a creative force to be reckoned with. A passionate devotee of Jack Kirby, Windsor-Smith’s earliest drawing at Marvel reflected that influence, but he quickly developed his own unique, eye-opening style, combining intricately detailed realism with the dreamlike lushness of art nouveau and late-1960s psychedelia. This volume focuses on the earliest of his work, including memorable storylines on The Avengers, Iron Man, Doctor Strange, and individual stories for Chamber of Darkness, Tower of Shadows, and Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. All new benchmarks of comics art, culminating in what may be the highlight of this period: Windsor-Smith’s collaboration with writer Gerry Conway on an epic tale of civil war in Ka-Zar’s Savage Land. Future volumes will trace Windsor-Smith’s career through such milestones as Machine Man and Weapon X.

Grab your pickaxe for two untold tales of Scrooge McDuck's Gold Rush adventures! In “First Aiders of Dawson,” Klondike “ice queen” Glittering Goldie is mining Scrooge’s gold claim at White Agony Creek when she takes a mortal blow... or does she? And when Scrooge, sinister Soapy Slick, and the Mounties all try to help or hinder her, just how much gold may change hands? Next, in “Klondike Calculations,” a trained bear seems to be robbing the Blackjack Saloon blind! Can Scrooge tame the savage thief before things get hairy?

What's this? A HATE one-shot starring Buddy Bradley's younger — and much more f*#ked-up — brother? Yes, please! Picking up where 2024's Hate Revisited! left off, Butch faces possible prison time stemming from an incident while squatting on his nephew's rural property. When he becomes a cause celebre to far-right media and an invited guest of the next Ameri-Con, it sends him on a path towards an unexpected spiritual awakening...

First new issue in two years! A new full color serial begins with The San Fernando Kid, a frolicking romp through the buttercups of robbery, racism, prison, and the proper way to tie a noose. The issue is rounded out with stories about Frederick the Great and bumping into Old friends, plus more. Comics for everyone!

To celebrate Fantagraphics' 50th anniversary in 2026, we are proud to bring back this era-defining classic: the comic that made Buddy Bradley a Gen-X slacker antihero! The Seattle Weekly once wrote, 20 years from now, when people wonder what it was like to be young in 1990s Seattle, the best record we'll have is Hate. This legendary comic, introducing Buddy Bradley and his loser roommates Stinky and George, remains a defining icon of grunge-era alternative culture, and a riotous look at aimless youth.
