New Art Books

 


FACES FIGURES FANTASIES The Art of Thomas Haller Buchanan Signed
Signed! Introduction by W. Michael Kaluta! Highly Recommended. This new work deserves your attention. Don't just take my word for it, here's Michael Kaluta from his introduction: "If one's first encounter were put into words, perhaps we'd quote...Doctor Who, in his much more often surprised and, generally, delighted response to something new, 'Oh! Aren't you a beauty.' There is a magic effect to THB's portraiture...THB applies his knowledge, his insights, and his ability to present worlds unseen to everything he creates." PAJ, 2015...More.

ART OF RICHARD LUONG Signed
Recommended. By Richard Luong. I am extremely fortunate to have had the opportunity to work on Cthulhu Wars. Before the project, I had worked in games as an illustrator and concept artist. My art didn't garner much attention. Cthulhu Wars launched and was a huge success. All of a sudden people took notice of my work and for the first time ever, I had fans. Krakenprint, 2016...More.

We offered Richard's Cthulhu statue last week and, hello, it immediately sold out. Since he has a small stock and sells them well at the shows he does, we can't get any more right now. We'll encourage him to do a reissue. In the meantime, here's his very nice book of Cthulhu paintings.
 


DESCANTS & CADENCES The Art of Stephanie Law Signed
Signed! Recommended. A new artist to us but one with superlative fantasy work and fine, fine technical skills. From fairies and beautiful fantasy women, to--really--the most amazing illustrations of insects such as bees and dragonflies we have seen. We can only compare this side of her work to the great E.J. Detmold, who could actually romanticize insects with his high level of skill at water color and capturing the exact moment of dynamics. Law does this also, along with excellent design and creativity. Shadowscapes, 2016...More.

BELLADONNA OF SADNESS
Edited by J.C. Gabel and Jessica Hundley. A legendary cult classic, never before officially released in the United States. Complete  with the film on DVD and an impressive full color book with full page art, commentary and interviews.forgotten masterpiece of Japanese anime. Loosely inspired by La Sorcière, Jules Michelet’s 1862 history of witchcraft and the occult, this tells the story of a young woman who makes a pact with the devil to exact revenge after being raped and driven from her home. This brief synopsis, however, does no justice to the visual spectacle of the film, which proceeds as a series of still images flashing onscreen. Hat & Beard Press/Cinelicious Pics, 2016.

Based on the artwork, the concept, and trusted reviewers, I've been an enthusiastic fan of this book. I'm happy to say I finally have gotten time to sit down and begin READING it, and so far it's extremely well done and I'm very impressed. I'm savoring it, a little each evening. Not to be missed, this is a primo ERB collectible and an exciting novel that no ERB fan should miss.

BATTLE CLASSICS Volume 2
Fighting Man and War Dog, 1979-81. Recommended. By Cam Kennedy. Art by Alan Hebden and Mike Western. All-out battle action from the pages of the greatest British war comic ever published! Boasts two action-packed war stories, both written by Alan Hebden and drawn by Cam Kennedy. "Fighting Mann" is set during the Vietnam War, and follows the exploits of retired US Marine Colonel Walter Mann on his rogue mission in search of his Navy pilot son, whose plane disappeared during a bombing raid over the Vietnamese jungle. The many planes and jets here are superbly rendered--every three-page episode is dynamic and action-packed. Titan, 2016...More.

Item Code: BACL02H
Hard Cover, 9x12, 240pg, b&w
$39.99 $34.99

I'm quite impressed with this. Took it home and had a hard time putting it down and not reading the entire "Fighting Mann" story in one sitting, it's a real page-turner. Clearly written by someone who knows combat--real combat--and the men involved. I love the use of helicopters, gunboats, and those amazing American jet fighters. It's the quest of a retired Marine Colonel for his son, lost in Vietnam and victim of a conspiracy of silence because of a much larger issue at hand. Even Russia comes in as a player and on our colonel's side, no less. Beautifully drawn.

News and Notes

Michael Kaluta Sketchbook Series
The special bookplate for this finally came in from Michael and we’ve sent it out separately to all who bought copies so far. Here’s what it looks like, it’s very nice with cool artwork and it’s limited as well as signed.

Econo-Fold covers
While the Bro-Dart jacket covers remain a bestselling category for us, the Econo-Fold variations have languished. These have no paper backing, and are designed for non-jacketed books (or you can also use them for jackets just as well). So we have dropped the prices on these and will be selling them out when present supplies are gone.

"Almost Gone”
When you see this with an item on our website, it means it is in short supply and will soon be sold out. Either it has gone out of print or we have dropped it. This indicates your last chance to get a copy from us, often at a discounted price. You can actually use this search term to find low-stock items if you want to troll for those nearly-gone goodies. Using our ADVANCED SEARCH, scroll down to SUBTITLE AND MORE and put in ALMOST GONE as the search term.

Deiter Lumpen has sold out from our distributor, but by going direct to IDW, the publisher, we were able to get a few more copies. Check it out, it’s an interesting collection of European adventure.

Canadian Whites or WECA Books
The 3rd and latest collection of original Canadian Golden Age material, Brok Windsor, was never offered by Diamond Comics so very few copies, if any, will be found in comic stores in the U.S. This was a successful Kickstarter program and it remains our favorite of the three Candian collections, even though Nelvana is probably the more historically important, since she pre-dates Wonder Woman as the first comics solo heroine. The third title is Johnny Canuck. We still have copies of all three books, signed by the compilers. Coming next: Mr. Monster, with a special introduction and signed bookplate by none other than Michael Gilbert. Stay tuned.

Omar Rayyan’s Goblin Market    
This is going to be good. We’re working on which editions we’ll be able to stock from their soon-to-close Kickstarter program. We’ve been big fans of Rayyan dating back to a nifty little bookplate he did for us years ago. His limited edition of Terry Pratchett’s Mort, at $195, sold out in 13 hours and became the Folio Society’s fastest sell-out ever. Their books are not available wholesale which is why we cannot stock them. But that’s just a hint of the fine work to be seen from Rayyan and of course, the popularity of Pratchett. I have to say, it’s the first Pratchett I’ve read and it’s a good read. The trade edition is still available in the $60 range direct from the Society.

The Science Fiction and Fantasy Art of Patrick Jones
I’ve strongly promoted his two art books (he is a teacher as well as a fine artist) and finally we will be offering a full-blown collection of his best work. And complete with a color bookplate that we’ll be producing with him. Stay tuned, coming this Fall.

Faces, Figures, Fantasies by Thomas Haller Buchanan
As I mention in my description of Thomas’s fine book, above, we just met recently. Here’s some more about him, with a wonderful portrait of our mutual friend Kinuko Y. Craft. He writes:

"You had asked me for a bio, so I'm attaching one of my promo bios along with an interview that gives other information. Also you can see my current portfolio and some info at www.THBillustration.com. Since Kinuko Craft is special to you too, I'm also attaching a cover portrait of her that I created with Kinuko and Mahlon's blessings. I bought her early book from you several years ago with an autographed card, so this is a nice circle."
