COBY WHITMORE Artist and Illustrator

Limited, 1000. Our Highest Recommendation. For over 30 years, Coby Whitmore’s elegant and fashionable illustrations graced the pages of almost every major American magazine.

The ladies are feisty, independent, know their own minds...the product of the new found weath and leisure of America in the 1950s and 60s. Illustrated Press, 2018. COBYWH. HC, 9x12, 224pg, FC $44.95

Tufts is not so well known to the public today, but this small body of work captured the admiration of devoted collectors for decades. Ruggles is a smart and brave adventurer, in and out of scrapes with nefarious villains and beautiful women. Classic Comics Press, 2018. CASR01H. HCW, 12x9, 336pg, FC $59.95

Frazetta puts in a rare apperance, collaborating with Sid Check on an amazing cover. There are also stories of “a heart torn out,” “blood drainage” and that’s only what Overstreet is pointing out. One of the weirder titles of the time, as the filled newstands meant publishers had to outdo the competiton with bloodier, darker, stranger stories of horror.

And believe me, you’ll have to go a long way to match this first volume, with work from Gus Ricca, George Tuska, Charles Sultan, Bob Forgione, Enrico Bagnoli, Rafael Astarita, Paul Gattuso, Don Perlin and Albert Tyler, many of whom are not household names though their styles deserve for them to be right up there with the very best. #3 has a hashish story!

News & Notes cont. from page 2 Harlan Ellison also just passed away, another giant, albeit in science fiction (he hated the term sci-fi, so I won't use it here and upset him, in case he’s looking down over my shoulder). His reputation preceded him as a cantankerous soand-so—but also as generous and very appreciative of fellow writers and artists. He boasted a huge collection, including Golden Age comic books. We met only once, in 2016 at the Vintage Paperback Show in LA. I walked over and introduced myself, just wanting to say hello as the show was closing down. He said, “Oh, you work for Bud Plant.” “No,” I said, “I AM Bud Plant.” He literally jumped up, shook my hand, and started, loudly, insisting to everyone in range of his voice what a big deal I was, how great my catalogs and service were, etc. It was embarrassing, but at the same time, pretty darned gratifying. It makes me smile every time I recall it. ~Bud BudsArtBooks.com ♦ 530-273-2166

PINO MASTER OF FIGURATIVE PAINTING

Highly Recommended. “Critics say I paint only beautiful women,” Pino says. “It’s heaven to me, going deep, studying character, body language, expressions.” In the same class as Sorolla, Russell Flint and Hanks, Pino is a master of color, of light and shade, of exquisite skin tones and faces and hair and rounded, curvaceous bodies. This is so new it’s only available from the Pino family and in China and Hong Kong. There is no overlap with his other book, published in 2003. We think this is entirely new work. Classic, 2017.

Walt Kelly WALT KELLY’S ADVENTURES OF PETER WHEAT Vol 1 Hardcover $34.99 $29.99

Collects #1-14, 1948-49. Highly Recommended. Walt Kelly’s Peter Wheat comics are renowned for their humor, artistic flair and appeal to both children and adults--and their incredible scarcity. Never before have they been collected. Between 1948 and 1951, Kelly drew thirty-five issues of The Adventures of Peter Wheat, a sixteen page comic book given away to bakeries to promote Peter Wheat bread. The stories were fairy tales starring Peter Wheat, an elf-sized boy who lived in a hollow tree on the edge of a wheat field where he and the Little Folk battled Dragonel, Queen of the Hornets.

Quite a strong representation from Asian creators new to us but very good. Titan, 2014. Out of Print. Mature Readers. Note: Slightly bumped corners. MONMA02. HCW, 8x11, 176pg, FC $22.99 $8.99 24

HARVEY KURTZMAN’S TRUMP

Highly Recommended. By Harvey Kurtzman, Wally Wood, Will Elder, Al Jaffee, Jack Davis et al. Trump was a lavish color satire magazine Harvey Kurtzman created for Hugh Hefner after leaving MAD in 1956. With a starstudded cast (Mel Brooks, Will Elder, Jack Davis, Wally Wood, Al Jaffee) and Playboy’s money and clout, Trump should have been huge. But for complex financial reasons, Hefner pulled the plug. Dark Horse, 2016. HKT02H. HCW, 9x12, 190pg, PC

REDHEADS by Raffaele Marinetti

SLIP

SEX ATTACK

STOCKING SEAMS AND LIPSTICK QUEENS Signed

Redheads have a glorious reputation for a fiery temperment to match their exquisite beauty, and artist Raffaele Marinetti has a distinct penchant for capturing all the passionate aspects of his subjects. Noted for his many delightful ginger pin-ups, Raffaele has collected a FC (mainly red, naturally) gallery of curvaceous crimson wonders! Like Olivia does on occasion, he pencils in some part of the drawing while emphasis is on faces, breasts, torsos and bottoms of his mostly nude subjects. SQP, 2017. Adult Material. REDHE. SC, 9x12, 48pg, PC $14.95 By Fildor and Vitus. From the French Adult magazine Bédé Adult, a very explicit spoof of mad scientists and sci-fi, with little plot but one heck of a lot of coupling and kinkiness. Orgies, threesomes, bondage, just about every kinkiness in the book. Lots of bosomy ladies and a slightly daft male hero whose imagination comes to life in very surprising ways. Last Gasp, 2002. Adult Material. Note: Occasional bump to one corner. SEXAT. SC, 8x12, 50pg, FC $14.95 $7.95

LESBIANS FOR MEN

Recommended. By Dian Hanson. Men have always had a thing for women willing to do other women for their viewing pleasure. When a man sees two women together there’s no jealousy that another man is getting the woman he can’t, just the joy of everything he likes times two, and the unshakable fantasy that women that wild would surely invite him to join in. Over 300 photos, in black and white and color, celebrate the obliging women who’ve kissed, fondled, and fulfilled men’s lesbian cravings, in images created for pornography as well as fine art. Decade by decade, from 1890 to the present day. Very explicit. Taschen, 2016. Adult Material. LESMH. HC, 9x12, 288pg, FC $50.00 $42.50

Recommended. Edited by Trischa Goodnow and James J. Kimble. How different types of comic books and characters supplied reasons and means to support the war effort. The contributors demonstrate that, free of government control, how effective these appeals were, while often racist and extreme. The book discusses the role of such major characters as Superman, Wonder Woman, and Uncle Sam along with a host of such minor characters as kid gangs and superhero sidekicks. It even considers novelty and small presses. A well-rounded look at the ways that comic books served as propaganda. University Press of Mississippi, 2016. THCEW. SC, 6x9, 240pg, b&w $30.00
