ART OF EDWIN GEORGI
Limited, 1000. Our Highest Recommendation. By Daniel Zimmer. This spectacular new book explores the life and work of illustrator Edwin Georgi (1896-1964)--the first book ever on his work. Yet he is one of the stand-out artists of his era, creating magazine illustrations beginning in the late 1920s, but blossoming into a leader in the field in the 1940s-50s. "Mid-career, he developed a radical new approach--bold even by today's standards--featuring a brilliant kaleidoscope of colors. At the center of attention were his fashionable women, always fresh and shockingly gorgeous." Illustrated Press, 2017. ...More.

GEORGE PEREZ Storyteller

ILLUSTRATORS QUARTERLY #20
Highly Recommended. With The Wanderers, Franz Roubaud, Ivan Bilibin, Diego Cordoba et al. The Russians are here. The Wanderers and their travelling art shows touched the souls of princes and peasants in the late 1800's with a style very much like the better-known Orientalist movement. A separate feature on another classic Russian painter, Franz Roubaud, looks at his majestic landscapes, galloping horses and cossack warriors. Finally, the best known of the group is Ivan Bilibin, Russia's greatest fantasy illustrator, whose work is still being reprinted in fairy tale albums. Book Palace, 2017...More.

JAMIE HEWLETT
Comic Book Artist gets the deluxe Taschen treatment! Edited by Julius Wiedemann. From the legendary Tank Girl to live-action animations with cartoon band Gorillaz, dabblings with Chinese contemporary opera to an exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery, artist Jamie Hewlett is one of the most energetic figures of contemporary pop culture. With influences ranging from hip hop to zombie slasher movies, Hewlett emerged in the mid 1990s as co-creator of the zeitgeist-defining Tank Girl comic. With then-roommate, Blur frontman Damon Albarn, he went on to create the unique cartoon band Gorillaz, a virtual pop group of animated characters, which recorded four studio albums and mounted live spectacles.

BATGIRL THE BRONZE AGE OMNIBUS Volume 1
1967-77. Recommended. Art by Infantino, Anderson & Sid Greene, Gil Kane, Curt Swan, Frank Robbins, Don Heck et al.

SAVAGE TALES OF SOLOMON KANE
Signed & numbered, #569 of 1,050! Recommended. By Robert E. Howard. Illustrated by Gary Gianni. With Conan the Cimmerian, Robert E. Howard created more than the greatest action hero of the twentieth century-he also launched a genre that came to be known as sword and sorcery. But Conan was not the first archetypal adventurer to spring from Howard's fertile imagination. He was...a strange blending of Puritan and Cavalier, with a touch of the ancient philosopher, and more than a touch of the pagan.... A hunger in his soul drove him on and on, an urge to right all wrongs, protect all weaker things.... Wayward and restless as the wind, he was consistent in only one respect-he was true to his ideals of justice and right. Such was Solomon Kane. Wandering Star, 1998...More.

SUPERGIRL The Silver Age Omnibus Volume 1
Collects Action Comics #252-307, 1959-63. Highly Recommended. By Otto Binder, Leo Dorfman and Jerry Siegel. Art by Jim Mooney and Al Plastino. I find these vintage stories charming and fun to read. This was back when Superman was still keeping Supergirl a secret--she had to hide her very existence from the world while also doing super-heroic deeds, much like Superboy did in the early seasons of Smallville. Superman creator Jerry Siegel worked on these, along with the talented Otto Binder and they are quintessential Silver Age stories, fun, innocent, each one complete in itself. These are all backup stories from the back pages of Action Comics. DC, 2016...More.
