AN AFFAIR WITH BEAUTY The Mystique of Howard Chandler Christy Romantic Illusions
Recommended. By James Philip Head. Foreword by Everett Raymond Kinstler. Fame, fortune, and beautiful models – Howard Chandler Christy had them all. He was the most famous American painter of the Jazz Age, a time when an elite brotherhood of New York artists dominated the publishing world. Christy had eclipsed all of them with his “Christy Girl,” an idealized woman who redefined beauty and influenced fashion. In Romantic Illusions, the second book in James Philip Head's trilogy, Christy tells of his early years studying art in near-poverty in New York City and his sudden ascent to stardom as the top pupil of William Merritt Chase, the premier portrait painter in America.

Beyond the wall of sleep, past the Gates of Horn and Ivory, lies the rich and fertile land where stories are born. It is called the Dreaming--and its own tale is about to take a dark and dangerous turn. Daniel, the Lord of Dreams, has abandoned his kingdom. Lucien, his faithful warden, can feel his own mind slipping away. And the other residents, from the monstrous and mercenary Dora to the gruff, unflappable Merv Pumpkinhead, are fighting among themselves to preserve what they can. But the true nightmare is yet to come. From out of the black chest of retired nightmares emerges a forgotten menace--an evil that has festered in solitary confinement for more than a century.

Translated from the French. Our Highest Recommendation. By Jean Dufaux. Art by Ana Miralles.

She's just looking for her grandmother. Fifty years ago, Jade served the Black Sultan as part of the Imperial Harem, but Jade was no ordinary harem girl—she was the sultan's favorite.

H.G. WELLS THE WAR OF THE WORLDS
Highly Recommended. By Dobbs. Art by Vicente Cifuentes. Death comes from the sky in this thrilling War of the Worlds graphic novel adaptation, nicely different from the other adaptions (and the recent film). Set firmly in Victorian England. Projectiles from the Red Planet begin to rain down on Earth. From the extraterrestrial capsules a tripod emerges, an immense machine of death that is soon joined by many others, with the sole intention of exterminating all life on Earth. Even knowing the story well, I found this entertaining and very, very handsomely drawn. Translated from the French. Insight Comics, 2019...More.
