DEADMAN KELLEY JONES Gallery Edition
Artwork from Deadman: Love After Death #1-2 and Deadman: Exorcism #1-2. Recommended. By Mike Baron. The unmistakable art of Kelley Jones on two gothic thrillers with surprisingly adult themes and some nudity!

WE TOLD YOU SO Comics As Art
An Oral History of Fanatagraphics Books. Recommended. By Michael Dean and Tom Spurgeon.
