On our Cover REYNOLD BROWN A Life in Pictures

Updated edition, limited to 1000. Our Highest Recommendation. By Daniel Zimmer. This spectacular art book explores the life and work of one of the greatest movie poster artists in Hollywood history. This whopping 304 page new edition adds 80 new pages to the original 2009 edition--which quickly sold out--and is loaded with stunning illustrations reproduced from vintage movie posters, photos, and the original paintings and drawings. This is a fine document of Reynold’s work, and features images from every facet of his long career, from men’s magazines to top-rated films and images we’ve all had imprinted on our brains, even if we didn’t know they were Brown’s work. Illustrated Press, 2017. REYBH. HC, 9x12, 304pg, FC $49.95 Cover Image: “The Raven” courtesy of Illustrated Press.

Signed! Highly Recommended. By Dean Yeagle. Dean creates a character, Frad the Frog, to narrate the story of Dean Yeagle’s creation of the beautiful Mandy. From first pencil sketches of real life models, he gets Mandy to do similar poses as these models, but she doesn’t always cooperate! She is in various stages of undress while she poses on a stool, stretching and swinging from ropes, and into even more contortions. The last 10 pages show her in various poses, in full glorious color. A great new collection, the annual event from Dean. Caged Beagle, 2017. Mature Readers. MODMS.

JERRY AND THE JOKER Adventures and Comic Art

FAIRY TALES By Hans Christian Andersen

Geof Darrow‘s slick, precise inks and stunning detail have amazed comics fans for decades, from his early work with Moebius; to Hardboiled, his first collaboration with Frank Miller; to the overwhelming excess of his current series, Shaolin Cowboy. Now Darrow provides insight into his process by sharing the pencil drawings behind his meticulous inks in a huge hardcover collection.

Jerry was one of the very few Golden Age artists to save his original art--so here are never before published and rarely seen originals. Dark Horse, 2017. JERJH. HCW, 9x12, 152pg, PC

Recommended. By Franz Von Stuck.

Recommended. Edited by Alex Chun and Jacob Covey.

M. C. ESCHER The Graphic Work

$49.00

$24.99

New Edition. Recommended. From impossible staircases to tesselated birds, Dutch artist M. C. Escher (1898-1972) crafted a unique graphic language of patterns, puzzles, and mathematics.

For mathematicians and scientists, Escher is a mastermind. For hippies, he was the pioneer of psychedelic art. New edition of a 1959 classic, complete with Escher’s commentary (he lived until 1972).

WEIRD LOVE Vols 1-3: Complete stories from the 1950s and ‘60s. Recommended. WEILH, 02H, 03H.  ea: $29.99 $26.99 Bargain-priced. Recommended. By Dick Wood and Len Wein. Art by Nevio Zaccara, Alberto Giolitti. A special 100-page collection of classic Gold Key Star Trek comics. Created by writers and artists who had not seen the show often (or at all) and worked off of whatever publicity materials they could get their hands on, the Gold Key Comics are true 1960s gems. Needless to say, the end results were definitely unusual--and very un-Trek in some cases (A blond Scotty! Spock kills! The Enterprise belches fire!). IDW, 2017. STTRG. HCW, 7x10, 100pg, FC

Recommended. Cover by Frank Cho. In these stories from such top-tier comics talents as Greg Rucka, George Pérez, John Byrne, Brian Azzarello, Jim Lee, Cliff Chiang and Gail Simone, the Amazing Amazon must use every ounce of her strength and steel to bring down gods, monsters and--when mind-controlling villains take control--even her friends.

Our Highest Recommendation. By Mark Fertig. From Superman, Wonder Woman and Daredevil to propaganda and racism, Take That, Adolf! offers a long, highly detailed look at how comics embraced the war, sold zillions to kids as well as soldiers, and who did it all, including rare female creators.

KRAZY George Herriman, A Life in Black and White

An epic and revelatory biography of Krazy Kat creator George Herriman explores the turbulent time and place from which he emerged--and the deep secret he explored through his art. The creator of the greatest comic strip in history finally gets his due--in an eye-opening biography that lays bare the truth about his art, his heritage, and his life on America’s color line. Although fitfully popular with readers of the period, his work has been widely credited with elevating cartoons from daily amusements to anarchic art. Harper, 2016. KRABWH.

Statues & Fun Stuff

BOMBSHELL The Pin-Up Art of John Gladman

DC BOMBSHELLS KATANA Statue

Limited, 5000. Recommended. Designed by Ant Lucia. Sculpted by Jack Mathews. Katana, one of the Suicide Squad’s most fascinating heroes, is re-imagined in this fantastically detailed new Bombshells statue. Attired in a stylized, fanciful costume, sporting a lovely dragon tattoo on her calf, sword in hand, foot on the head of an Asian warror mask--or a vanquished foe? 1:8 scale statue. Very nicely detailed, and handsome bright coloring. We love her fascinating face. DC, 2017. DCBK. 11” tall, FC

$125.00

The first in the line of vinyl figurines is Joseph Michael Linsner’s seductive but devilish pin-up girl. Little Minxies are super-curvy pinup interpretations of favorite characters--and some original creations to come! CS Moore, 2013. LMSS. 8” tall, FC $44.95 $24.95

LUIS ROYO BATGIRL Statue

Hand-numbered from 2000. Recommended. Gotham City, like any other large metropolis, abounds in girls of all shapes and sizes--debutantes, nurses, stenographers... and librarians. But this Gotham City public librarian and daughter of Gotham’s Commissioner James Gordon is a different kind of girl, for tonight our shapely, brassy haired heroine stands tall in cape and cowl and is known as: Batgirl! She’s poised on huge heavy gargoyle base, overlooking the city. Well designed from the Luis Royo original painting. Yamato, 2016. LRBATG. 18” tall, FC $249.00

Blending the style of the past with the women of the present, this book is a first-of-its-kind celebration of modern black pin-up beauty.

SEX AND HORROR The Art of Alessandro Biffignandi

Recommended. Between the late 1960s and the late 1980s, Italy went crazy for “sexy fumetti,” a home-grown genre of adult comics with a unique brand of twisted humor, violence, and up-front sexuality. One of the most talented and prolific of the cover artists at Edifumetto--the foremost Italian producer of adult comics during this period--was Alessandro Biffignandi, whose work featured horror, fantasy, and sci-fi elements alongside plenty of naked female flesh.

FRED MOORE GIRL Series 2 Seasons America Statue

Numbered & limited, 100. Recommended. Sculpted by Kent Melton. Based on one the highly sought-after “Freddie Girls,” pin-up babes drawn by Fred Moore in the 1940’s. They were mostly nude (thus sought-after by the male horndogs at the studio), and they utilized all of Moore’s talents for fluidity, charm, appeal, and great posing. Only glimmers of them got to the screen (“All the Cats Join In” in Make Mine Music, the centaurettes in the Pastoral Symphony section of Fantasia), but they were so well-known and admired by fellow artists, they are as much a part of animation history as his classic Disney work.

By Richard Havers and Richard Evans. Marilyn Monroe always felt like she lived her life on the outside. She was never really accepted by Hollywood, she never found what she was looking for in a man. Since her death, there have been countless conspiracy theories which have overshadowed her talent as an actress. Marilyn looks at this cultural icon’s life and history as she went from “poor little orphan girl” to a worldwide celebrity. This is the story of how Norma Jeane became Marilyn Monroe, complete with early portraits, pictures with celebrities and her husbands, and film shots. Chartwell, 2017. MARINH. HCW, 11x11, 192pg, PC $17.99

SUPERGIRL THE SILVER AGE Volume 1

Supergirl’s backup stories from the very first: Action Comics #252-284, 1960-62. Highly Recommended. By Jerry Siegel and Otto Binder. Art by Jim Mooney and Al Plastino. Superman believed himself to be the only survivor of his planet’s destruction until a spacecraft crashed on Earth with a young girl inside--a Supergirl from Krypton, possessing all the same powers as the Man of Steel. And this Maid of Might wasn’t just any Kryptonian survivor, but Superman’s cousin, Kara Zor-El. First hidden from the world, she did heroic acts with no recognition, no accolades. DC, 2017. SGS01. SC, 7x10, 384pg, FC $29.99 $26.99

THE LIFE AND DEATH OF FRITZ THE CAT

Highly Recommended. By Robert Crumb. Fritz is a freewheeling feline chiseler who allowed Crumb to express some of his most acidic commentary on American culture...and teen-aged lust. Tragicomedy, farce, and satire all rolled into one, this chronicles the very best of Fritz’s adventures from his early days as an idealistic college student to his ultimate fate as a jaded, burned-out superstar! A funny, insightful record of a tumultuous period in American life. Fantagraphics, 2017. LDFRITZ. HCW, 8x11, 92pg, b&w $19.99 $16.99

BATMAN METAL DIE CAST BAT SIGNAL with Book

ART OF HAMMER Posters From the Archive of Hammer Films

Revised and updated edition. Recommended. By Marcus Hearn. Hammer Films were almost as well known for the way in which they sold their films as for the films themselves. The Art of Hammer is the first ever collection of the company’s iconic movie posters, and is a celebration of movie art at its best. This large format, lavish hardback is now fully updated and brings together hundreds of rare posters from around the world, featuring Hammer’s greatest films, from famous ones to sleazy soft-core with lots of nudity. They covered the full spectrum of horror. Titan, 2016. Mature Readers. ARHAMH. HC, 10x13, 200pg, FC $34.95 $29.95

PALEOART Visions of The Prehistoric Past 1830-1980

Highly Recommended. By Zoë Lescaze. Preface by Walton Ford. In this unprecedented (and enormous), new book, writer Zoë Lescaze and artist Walton Ford present the astonishing history of paleoart from 1830 to 1990, including eight fold-out pages. These are modern visions of prehistory: stunning paintings, prints, drawings, sculptures, mosaics, and murals that mingle scientific fact with unbridled fantasy. Here is an in-depth look at this neglected niche of art history, also revealing how artists projected their own aesthetic, rendering the primordial past with dashes of Romanticism, Impressionism, Japonisme, and Art Nouveau, among other influences. Taschen, 2017. PALEOH. HCW, 11x15, 286pg, FC $100.00 $90.00

Recommended. A high-quality die-cast metal Bat-Signal--projects up to 20 feet! Special features include 5-inch tall authentically detailed Bat-Signal replica, metal construction, LED light-up function, up to 20-feet projection in darkness, 360-degree rotatable base, bonus 48-page 5x7 hardcover book on Batman and Bat-Signal lore, featuring full-color illustrations throughout. In a handsome full color display box. 3 AAA batteries not included. Running Press, 2017. BATMBS. HCW, 5” tall, 48pg, FC $39.95
