Latest Haul from Book Sale: X-Men Proteus & The Resort

Yesterday, I truly had a wonderful purchase at Book Sale's Walter Mart North EDSA branch. Upon browsing their rows of books, I discovered an X-Men: Proteus Marvel Premiere Classic hardcover (by two of my favorite X-scribes of all tie, Chris Claremont and John Byrne) for only P340! That's a real bargain. Plus, you would hardly find any graphic novels in Book Sale. The last time I bought a graphic novel from Book Sale was years ago --  several CrossGen TPBs and a Doctor Mid-Nite compilation.

Product Description from Amazon.com:
One of the X-Men's greatest allies must face her darkest secret when a child born of violence bends reality to his whims! The paranormal Proteus battles the X-Men in body and soul, shaking the psyches of even their strongest! But as Marvel's mightiest mutants face one world-threatening wonder, an even worse one awaits as the stage is set for the debut of Dark Phoenix! Collects X-Men #125-128, and Classic X-Men #32-33, #36.

In addition, last Saturday I was also able to buy a Bentley Little book entitled The Resort.  I was immediately intrigued by the plot of a family vacationing at a mysterious resort out in the desert of Arizona.

Product Description from Amazon.com:
Welcome to The Reata, an exclusive spa isolated in the Arizona desert.

Please ignore the strange employees and that unspeakable thing in the pool. And when guests start disappearing, pretend it isn't happening. Enjoy your stay, and relax. Oh...and lock yourself in after dark.
