ALPHONSE MUCHA
Highly Recommended. Edited by Tomoko Sato. I thought the entire career of Mucha had been explored in previous books, but I am proved wrong here. With dozens of amazing photographs of the artist and his models, some nude, and preliminary drawings, roughs for paintings, and rare chocolate boxes and jewelry, this offers an intimate new look at the artist. Explore the development of Mucha's career and his achievements as a multifaceted and visionary artist. Six sections highlight Mucha as a commercial artist, a Bohemian; a fine-art painter; a photographer; a mystic; a patriot (i.e. returning to his Czech homeland to create the fabulous Slav Epic murals); and a philosopher.

MATT BAKER The Art of Glamour
Back in stock: The life and career of the finest Good Girl artist of the Golden Age. Our Highest Recommendation. Edited by Jim Amash and Eric Nolen-Weathington. This presents an impressive career cut tragically short. It features a wealth of essays; interviews with Baker's friends, family, and co-workers; and a treasure trove of his finest artwork, including several complete stories, at last giving this wonderfully talented artist his full due. In the early 1940s, Matt Baker became of one the earliest African-American comic book artists. But it wasn't the color of his skin which made him such a significant figure in the history of the medium--it was his innate ability to draw gorgeous, exciting women and handsome, dynamic men in a fluid, graceful style.

BATMAN AND SUPERMAN World's Finest The Silver Age Volume 2
Collects World's Finest #95-116, 1958-61. Recommended. By Edmond Hamilton, Bill Finger, et al. Art by Curt Swan and Dick Sprang. They had been fighting crime separately for years, but it wasn't until the historic Superman #76 in 1952 that Superman, the Man of Steel, finally teamed up with the Caped Crusader himself--Batman. That story proved so popular that the team quickly became the main feature in World's Finest Comics--and thus the greatest partnership in comics was born. Their adventures together would feature heroes and villains such as Robin, Batwoman, Lex Luthor, Bat-Mite, Mr. Mxyzptlk and more alien threats than might seem possible. DC, 2018...More.

THE BATTLE OF CHURUBUSCO American Rebels In The Mexican American War
Introduction by Paddy Maloney, lead singer of The Chieftains. Recommended. By Andrea Ferraris. In 1847, Churubusco was the stronghold of the San Patricios, a motley battalion of soldiers — including some runaway American slaves — who deserted the United States Army for a just, if suicidal, cause, holding out against the expansionist plans of the U.S. and savage U.S. soldiers. In this graphic novel, Andrea Ferraris uses a bold charcoal technique to tell the story of the San Patricios through the eyes of Gaetano Rizzo, a 22-year-old Sicilian immigrant (based on a real soldier of the time).

SPARRING WITH GIL KANE Debating The History and Aesthetics of Comics
Highly Recommended. Art by Gil Kane and others. Introduction by Gary Groth. Preface by Howard Chaykin. Gil Kane drew every major comic book character in his 50-year career — from Spider-Man and the Hulk to Superman and Batman — and conceived and drew independent “graphic novels” long before the term had any meaning to the larger public. He was also a fascinating raconteur and a formidable analyst, critic, and theorist of comics, a medium he loved. Included in this collection are interviews Kane conducted with a wide array of cartoonists: newspaper strip artists such as Hal Foster (Prince Valiant) and Walt Kelly (Pogo); fellow comic book creators such as Harvey Kurtzman; underground cartoonists Robert Crumb and Jack Jackson; and the literary critic Donald Phelps.
