HOKUSAI An Artists' Tribute
Highly Recommended. Thirteen featured artists choose their favorite Hokusai work as inspiration for entirely new works in their own field of fantastic art. We're really impressed with the unique artwork and varity here; you'll also find Hayao Miyazaki style works, showing the filmmaker's own influence from Hokusai. Including the hugely popular Kellogsloops, Canadian artist Janice Sung, and Norwegian fantasy artist Mona Finden. Inspired by Hokusai's The Great Picture Book of Everything. Choosing works such as Palm Tree and Myna Bird and Daoist Master Zhou Sheng ascends a cloud-ladder to the moon, the contributors explain their creative choices, share insights, show development images, and display the final exclusive piece in their individual project chapter. They apply their own style and approach, while staying true to the original narrative and composition of Hokusai's drawing. Minor nudity. Ingram, 2025....More.

ARTIST AT LAST: Bill Pearson
A Fantagraphics Underground Release. Having worked in comics from just about every position and angle over the last 50 years (including as the editor of the legendary witzend), Bill Pearson’s first solo art book collects a decades-spanning body of work, never seen until now. His illustrations dance playfully between monstrous and silly imaginary creatures in the vein of Vaughn Bodé, and abstract gems evoking Wassily Kandinsky and humorous nudes. "A culmination of a life devoted to comics, if the title rings with humility, it’s only because Pearson is selling himself short." Fantagraphics, 2025....More.

HARVEY CHAMBER OF CHILLS Facsimile Edition #1 Slipcased
Collects #1-5 & more, 1951-52. Highly Recommended. Harvey was no more shy than EC about exploiting the horror genre to the max! And — the art was good. Lee Elias, Rudy Palais, Bob Powell and Howard Nostrand — any of these three would have fit right in at ECHardback slipcase with five restored facsimile editions. #21-24 and #5 (actually #1-5).

BLACKHAWK Volume 18
Collects #90-94, 1955. Recommended. By Chuck Cuidera, Dick Dillin, Dick Wood and Paul Gustavson (Chop Chop backups). Not just cold war commies and mad scientists, world conquerors and even aliens, the Blackhawks also took on Femme Fatales, "The Prophet of Doom," "The Web of the Black Widow," and break the time barrier. But at three stories in each issue (plus Chop Chop's escapades with lovely ladies), they took on The Flying Cutlass, the Black Dungeon, The Steel Colossus, the Villainess Who Smashed the Blackhawk team, The Storm King, and Treason in the Underground!

METAL HURLANT Volume 2 Space Stares Back
Highly Recommended. By Moebius, Mézières (Valerian), Bilal, Clerc, Druillet, et al. In space there is no oxygen. No warmth. No life. No hope. Or is there? 372 pages, a massive second collection. The premiere sci-fi comics anthology from Humanoids travels the vast reaches of the cosmos to answer the question: when we stare into space, what stares back? The greatest comic creators of yesterday and today have the stars as their destination as they deliver tales of extra-terrestrial encounters, alien landscapes, isolation, exploration, paranoia, survival, and hope in the unforgiving darkness of the ever-expanding universe.

THE HISTORY OF WORLD WAR II A Graphic Novel
First published in France in 2024. 300 pages. Highly Recommended. Arnaud De La Croix and Vicente Cifuentes expertly weave together a compelling and vivid history of World War II, the scope of which has yet to be matched in graphic novel format. From the pre-war origins to the final surrender of Japan, here is every deal, every major battle, a flow of events across all of Europe and North Africa that puts the entirety of the war into perspective. We are VERY impressed. The artwork is very good, and the historical detail is all there. Abrams, 2025....More.

And here's a cruise-ship cat burglar known as the Cat, who would later be known as Catwoman! Plus, Hugo Strange returns with an army of mindless henchmen at his command. Will the Dark Knight triumph over Strange’s giants? Plus a 2-page recap of Batman's origin, and a 2-page "Meet the Artist, Bob Kane."

Prince Valiant Sketchbooks

 


HAL FOSTER'S PRINCE VALIANT SKETCHBOOKS An Illustrated Memoir Volume 1 Signed
Signed bookplate! Our Highest Recommendation! This is the first of six volumes, all completed to be released six months apart, the same size as the Prince Valiant reprint volumes.

KAWASE HASUI 2026 Calendar
Highly Recommended. In his elegant landscapes, Kawase Hasui (1883-1957) presents a nostalgic view of rural Japan from a modern, western perspective.

While his startlingly original work is largely unknown today, this volume (primarily composed of Wacik’s work for the satire magazine Die Muskete) will be a revelation for many.

Somewhat notorious, always featuring good-girl art, pre-code publisher Avon presents their own version of the Jungle Girl mythos!

But exploring a ruined temple, they were attacked and killed by a rival tribe — whose chief took little Taanda and raised her as his own! She grew up protecting the people and animals from poachers — she was as fast as any beast and as strong as a man and could swing through the tree like a monkey and often rode a zebra!

Kinstler's work hangs in museums, boardrooms, banks, private collections, The White House, and in the homes of his clients and friends. Before portraiture became his life's work, he spent the 1940s and 1950s honing his craft in comic books: Hawkman for DC's The Flash, Black Hood and Black Terror for Standard. And dozens upon dozens of covers, inside cover contents pages, and stories for those delightfully lurid Avon titles like Eerie, Cowpuncher, Dalton Brothers, Jesse James, Strange Worlds, etc. And illustrating for pulp magazines like The Shadow, Doc Savage and Detective Tales!

Here is our bi-weekly listing of items that are out of print or discontinued with only a few copies left. Once they are gone... they're gone indefinitely.

We are frequently adding blemished copies into our Imperfect Editions section, but often times the small quantity prohibits us from including them in the weekly emails. Check back often to find bargain treasures!

The Complete Moon Girl

This has not made it into this weekly email yet, although it came in recently. Thanks to advance orders plus the EC online group we blew through our first stock. We have more coming. All advance orders have been sent out. We still have about 75 bookplates, Grant Geissman printed and signed 125 in all.

 

Doug Murray Bookplates

Doug signed a batch of bookplates for us to put with his new ‘Nam Omnibus—but it immediately went out of print. It's sold out. But Doug has written excellent overviews for the new Flash Gordon Collected editions Volumes 2, 3 and 4…so we are now adding the signed bookplate to each of these. If you’ve already bought one from us and would like one, just ask next time you are ordering something else. We’ll add it. It’s just a generic bookplate, no artwork this time. We still have blemished copies of Vol 3 at half price, but you don’t get the bookplate!

 

Art of Marshall Rogers

This is back in stock. It took a while to bring in more copies. I’m very pleased with it, a fine book on an earlier innovator among the new young turks of the 1970s and 1980s.

Shameless Art almost gone

This Underwood book has been a steady seller for years, and dropping the price to just $7.50 gave it renewed interest. We have only 16 as I write this. Nice pulp covers! A companion to Savage Art, also now only $7.50 [SAVAH.] Click here for other sale priced books from Underwood Books—Tim Underwood lived here in Grass Valley so we had a close relationship—he gave us a good deal on his overstock before he passed away.

Modern EC’s: Cruel Universe

I spoke too soon when I said I’d be dropping the two new EC licensed titles. It turns out Cruel Universe, the sci-fi title, has picked up in sales such that we will keep it in stock and get the next collection. However, the first release, horror anthology Epitaphs from the Abyss, will still be dropped! We have six copies left [EPIT01. $19.99].
