You thought you knew The Monkees. Then there were the comic books.

At the height of Monkeemania, Davy, Micky, Mike, and Peter escaped television and landed in a medium with an even looser relationship with reality.

The result was The Monkees comic-book series: gloriously strange adventures filled with disguises, spies, sharks, cows, elephants, impossible escapes, fourth-wall-breaking gags, instant changes of scenery, and the kind of logic that makes perfect sense only when The Monkees are involved.

Now that wonderfully peculiar corner of Monkees history has been brought back together in The Monkees Comic Book Book: Reference Book and Price Guide.

The original comics have been carefully digitally restored, reviving their bright colors and exuberant artwork while preserving the character of the originals. But this is more than a trip through vintage panels.

It's also a collector's guide to the series, including a complete price guide to the original comics, background on collecting them, and a timeline placing the comic releases alongside what was happening in the world of The Monkees at the time.

Along the way, you'll also find:

• the story of collecting the original Monkees comics
• an extensive interview with legendary Monkees comic artist Jose Delbo
• a complete price guide for the original issues
• a timeline connecting the comics to the larger Monkees story
• memories and commentary from people connected to The Monkees, comics, television, music, and 1960s pop culture
• a foreword by Peter Noone
• contributions and appearances from Bobby Hart, Butch Patrick, Deana Martin, Bill Mumy, James Lee Stanley, Jon Provost, and many more
• photographs, memorabilia, history, and several delightful detours that could probably happen only in a book about The Monkees

Authors Mark Arnold and Charles F. Rosenay!!! previously teamed up for Not Just Happy Together: The Turtles from A-Z (AM Radio to Zappa), their sprawling guide to the music, history, personalities, and wonderfully tangled universe surrounding The Turtles. Here, they bring that same collector's curiosity to one of the most unusual corners of Monkees history.

This is not an attempt to make The Monkees comic books more dignified than they were.

Quite the opposite.

It's a chance to enjoy them again in all their colorful, corny, chaotic, fourth-wall-demolishing glory while preserving the history around them and giving collectors a practical guide to the originals.

Part restored comic collection, part reference book, part price guide, part pop-culture time machine, The Monkees Comic Book Book is exactly as strange, useful, and specific as its title suggests.

Paperback edition.

It’s time to get “Happy Together” again! 

Discover the songs and the history of one of the most successful pop rock bands ever, The Turtles, who had many, many Top 40 hits including “It Ain’t Me Babe,” “Let Me Be,” “You Baby,” “She’d Rather Be with Me,” “You Know What I Mean,” “She’s My Girl,” “Elenore,” “You Showed Me” and of course, the iconic “Happy Together!” All of their Golden Hits!

Authors Mark Arnold (Long Title: Looking for the Good Times; Examining The Monkees Songs, One by One and Headquartered: A Timeline of The Monkees Solo Years) and Charles F. Rosenay!!! (The Book of Top 10 Beatles Lists and The Book of Top 10 Horror Lists) have joined forces to cover the entire careers of The Turtles from their early days as The Crossfires, through their hit-filled years, into their break-up that led to most of The Turtles’ members joining forces with Frank Zappa’s Mothers of Invention, to Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan’s years as solo artists under the guise of Flo & Eddie, and even their forays into children’s records.

Arnold and Rosenay!!! have reviewed every song and album, and interviewed many of The Turtles’ friends and associates along with most of The Turtles themselves, who have given startling new revelations that will surprise even the most hardcore fan.

Open the doors to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and to your library to add this book. This definitive Turtles compendium is as unique as The Turtles themselves.
