July 2024 (Black Coat Press) - French Tales of the Red Planet (Vol. 2). stories by Arnould Galopin, Gustave Le Rouge, L. Miral & A. Viger & J.-H. Rosny Aîné; translated by Brian Stableford & J.-M.& Randy Lofficier; cover by David Lecossu. The French have always  had a strong affinity for interplanetary fiction, but none of the celestial bodies have attracted more attention than the planet Mars. In this second tome, we present four remarkable novels from the early part of the 20th century, published between 1906 and 1925: Arnould Galopin's Doctor Omega, Gustave Le Rouge's ground-breaking The Prisoner of the Planet Mars, the team of L. Miral & A. Viger 's The Ring of Light, anmd finally J.-H. Rosny Aîné's classic The Navigators of Space. Each is ground-breaking in its own way and all are in many respects way ahead of what American magazines were publishing at the time. These stories are all unique and highly original and provide exemplars of the rich tradition of fantastic voyages, in the broad spectrum of French fantastic literature.

September 2024 (Black Coat Press) - THE ADVENTURES OF BEARCUB IRONSKULL by Gustave Aimard, translated by Jean-Marc & Randy Lofficier. Deeply rooted in popular culture, the world of piracy has given rise to many familiar characters. From Captain Hook to Long John Silver, Captain Nemo to Jack Sparrow, the adventures of pirates have graced the pages of many novels and seen a multitude of film and television adaptations. Now welcome into these hallowed ranks Bearcub Ironskull from Tortuga Island, bent on looting the wealthy port city of Cartagena and reclaiming his lost love, Doña Erminia. Initially published in France in 1868, this seminal French pirate novel, predating Treasure Island (1882) by fourteen years, has been reprinted many times and is considered a classic of the genre. Its author, Gustave Aimard, was, in his time, as successful and popular as Eugène Sue and Paul Féval. He wrote approximately seventy novels and is still remembered today for his western and pirate novels, translated into fifteen languages.

It was the creation of Milanese artist Guido Zamperoni (1912-2003).
