Steampunk: Retro-Futurism, Best of DC War-Artist’s Edition, Green Arrow 75 Years, Harryhausen DVD, Wood’s Captain Science, Donald Duck, JLA Omnibus, Rachel Rising Signed,Spider-Gwen and Wonder Woman Statues

I particularly like the new Steampunk: The Art of Retro-Futurism, outstanding work from cover to cover. The big item this week just might be the DC War Artist’s Edition—these have always been phenomonally popular comics, home to superb work by Joe Kubert, Russ Manning and others. This is a first-ever glimpse of the original artwork. Two new coloring books, Wonder Woman and Danger Girl, Wood’s Capt. Science. And much more.

STEAMPUNK Art of Retro-Futurism -- Highly Recommended. More than just cogs, gears, and goggles, steampunk burst from the pages of science fiction and fantasy inspired by the likes of Jules Verne and H.G. Wells and rapidly grew into one of the most recognizable aesthetic movements of the 21st century. This outstanding volume gathers work by the best artists, designers, and craftsmen in the field, sure to fire the imagination of any fan. It overflows with intricate sculpture work, superlative digital and traditional art, and fashion--this may be the best collection we've seen yet -- it's very, very good.....More.

ANGELARIUM BOOK OF EMANATIONS Signed -- Signed! Recommended. By Eli Minaya and Peter Mohrbacher. This 52 page art book is a chronicle of Enoch, a living man who traveled the Angelarium and explored the interior world of the Tree of Life. He encounters its ten emanations, and ruminates upon the unknowable being that is Ein Sof. It includes illustrations, poetry and short stories centering around the 11 emanations of the Tree of Life. The artwork is stunning--Enoch is like an angel, a ghost, a dis-embodied god who has become part of the universe. Brilliant technique, astonishingly imaginative.....More.

BEST OF DC WAR Artist's Edition -- Our Highest Recommendation. By Robert Kanigher et al. Art by Joe Kubert, Russ Heath, Alex Toth, John Severin, Jack Kirby et al. A break-out collection that's just stunning. DC produced some of the very finest war (and sometimes anti-war) comics ever, even including EC's work. And by the best artists in the field. This includes an amazing selection of artwork, including two fold-outs, 11 covers, and tons of top-notch pages. The "Big 3" war titles are highly collected, with prices rocketing in recent years. They often featured superb work by both Kubert and Heath. Never before has the original artwork for these been put together in one collection like this.....More.

Two items back in stock: first is a revised new edition of Lighting the Nude: Top Photography Professionals Share Their Secrets, This is a truly outstanding collection of top notch pictures of stunningly beautiful, all-natural women. For the technically-minded, this details how each session was set up.

And we have found a handful of copies of Luis Royo Secrets, published in 1996 and now out of print. It’s filled with his wonderful fantasy women, mostly unclothed, along with monsters and creatures and other-world settings. It’s Royo at his best. Our copies are just slightly dinged but nearly new, from 1996.

News and Notes

Wally Wood’s Galaxy Art and Beyond
IDW seriously underprinted this and it’s out of print within two weeks of publication. We have 15 more copies coming in (and we’d gotten a good supply first time around) but then we’re OUT until a reprint comes about. I have little doubt they will do one, but until then we’ll have to backorder copies. We just pulled it out of the next catalog. Too bad, it’s a wonderful book and I wish more of you could see it. Act now, you might still score one.
Herb Trimpe Artist Select Deluxe
I wrote about this two weeks ago, only 680 of the 1000 printed were signed since Herb passed away. We got our reorder of two more copies and they ARE both signed, in case you want one. Act now and get this ordered. We don’t know what will happen with our next reorder, chances are it won’t be signed. [IHHASD. $169]

San Diego Comic-Con
We’re cutting back from three booths to two this year, since the space has gotten so expensive. We’ve traditionally brought a lot of backlist (older) items down there but too many don’t sell. So this year we’re concentrating on mostly new items that we haven’t had there before, published in the last year and especially new arrivals in the last few months. If you want to see something, we’d be happy to bring it down for you, just ask. Anne and I will also have a selection of out of print items and also some better Golden Age and Silver Age comics—again, let us know if there is something you’d like to see.
