MANDY GO ROUND Signed Signed. Our Highest Recommendation. By Dean Yeagle. Mandy herself narrates the story of Dean Yeagle's commission to paint Mandy riding twelve carousel animals! From first pencil sketch to the finished works, here's a tongue-in-cheek story as she introduces herself, disrobes, poses in various positions, is introduced to a variety of potential animals who could be carousel themes...leave it to Dean to create a wonderful storyline, while exposing the lovely Mandy as the beautiful, voluptuous innocent that she is. The finished carousel scenes are in full glorious color. Abundant nudity. 2016. Mature Readers...More. Item Code: MANGRS Soft Cover, 8x11, 48pg, Partial Color $20.00 |

MANDY'S BEAUTIFUL BIRTHDAY SUIT Signed Highly Recommended. By Dean Yeagle. Rather than a new annual sketchbook, Dean has created a delightful story of our voluptuous and generally naked Mandy searching for just the right "birthday" suit. It's funny of course, as this veteran Playboy cartoonist has lost none of his skills, and it's gorgeously drawn, with the innocent yet desirable Mandy teasing us with one sexy pose after another. Caged Beagle, 2015. Mature Readers. Item Code: MANBS Soft Cover, 8x11, 48pg, Partial Color |

MELANGE By Dean Yeagle Signed Signed bookplate. Highly Recommended. By Dean Yeagle . Acclaimed Disney and Playboy artist Yeagle has collected his favorite illustrations for this beautiful collection of his work, now augmented with 32 additional pages of images. Those of you familiar with Dean's work from Scribblings # 1-3 and One Mandy Morning will know Yeagle is a master of lithe anatomy and comic timing. Laugh and enjoy with this great collection of Yeagle art and humor, now with an appreciation written by comic historian Craig Yoe. Text in French and English. Akileos, 2011. Mature Readers. Item Code: MELAH Hard Cover - No Dustjacket, 10x12, 160pg, Partial Color $40.00 |

BOMBSHELLS TWO A Terry Dodson Sketchbook Signed Signed. Highly Recommended. A collection of Terry Dodson's art straight out of his personal sketchbooks. Collecting his previously published Bombshells Sketchbooks #4-7 plus all new material and a step-by-step of how Dodson created the wrap-around cover for this new edition. From Wonder Woman to Muse to The Red One, his work (with partner Rachael) is so much fun, full of life and full of lovely ladies. We continue to be big fans. Nice little hardcover from Flesk, done just in time for 2016's Comic-Con. Flesk, 2016....More. Item Code: BOM02H Hard Cover - No Dustjacket, 8x10, 48pg, Partial Color $20.00 |

MUSE Signed Signed bookplate by Dodson. Our Highest Recommendation. By Terry Dodson and Denis-Pierre Filippi. Terry Dodson is already a master of the female figure, as evidenced particularly in his fine Bombshells sketchbooks. Here he's taken that eroticism a big step farther, creating a voluptuous, gorgeous heroine in a full graphic story, in the finest tradition of Dean Yeagle's Mandy, Serpieri's Druuna, John Willie's Sweet Gwendoline, Little Annie Fanny and other classics of erotic graphic stories. This is none of those, but it deserves to be in the same class: gorgeous artwork, dramatic storytelling and yet a wonderful vehicle for drawing a tall, long-legged, stunning woman either naked or in various states of undress throughout the story. Humanoids, 2013. Mature Readers. Item Code: MH Hard Cover - No Dustjacket, 10x13, 108pg, Full Color $34.95 |
 |
RED ONE WELCOME TO AMERICA Signed Signed bookplate by Dodson! Collects Red One #1-2. Highly Recommended. By Xavier Dorison. Art by Terry Dodson and Rachel Dodson. We always enjoy Terry Dodson's work--here is a wonderful new hardcover album collecting two cool spy stories starring a beautiful heroine. What happens when America's Greatest Hero...is actually a Russian Spy? Contains bonus material in an oversized European-style hardcover. Image, 2015. Item Code: REOWH Hard Cover - No Dustjacket, 9x12, 80pg, Full Color $16.99 |
 |
MASQUERADE A Terry Dodson Signed Sketchbook Signed. Highly Recommended. By Terry Dodson. Terry Dodson debuted this latest sketchbook collection at San Diego Comic-Con in July, 2014. This features an assortment of material including pencil sketches, ink and marker preliminaries, convention sketches, character designs and a show print drawing with the process shown in a step-by-step format. Plus finished specialty pieces for a Rose City Comic Con and a Gaslamp Quarter event in San Diego. Flesk, 2014. Item Code: MASQS Soft Cover, 5x8, 16pg, Full Color $15.00 |

Work from The Fearless, Secret Avengers, X-Men: Battle of the Atom, Uncanny Avengers Annual, Capt. American Annual, Deadpool, Booster Gold cover ideas, and several very cool beautiful ladies-and-monster themes. Arthur Adams, 2015. Out of Print. Mature Readers.

KENT WILLIAMS VIA LACTEA Signed His drawings and paintings of the artist Soey Milk. Signed and limited, 1470. Recommended. A beautifully painted, oversized collection of increasingly erotic images of William's "muse," artist Soey Milk. A diminutive but well shaped Asian model, here she poses for gentle portraits, complex illustrative tableaux, and ultimately highly erotic nudes, even with other girls and hints of bondage and domination/submission. Williams is already stretching his talent, capturing her in a variety of media and poses. It's one of the most arresting and fascinating collections of his art we've seen. ASFA, 2016. Adult Material...More. Item Code: VIALH Hard Cover - No Dustjacket, 12x13, 64pg, Full Color $49.95 |

DAWN 2016 Sketchbook Signed Signed. Highly Recommended. By Joseph Michael Linsner. Linsner proves himself once again a master of the female form, still at the top of the good-girl illustrators. From delicious full nudes of Dawn, Dejah Thoris and others, to his patented skin-tight outfits that might as well be nude... Here too is new work including Wonder Woman, Zatanna, Harley Quinn, more with Dawn, The Sandman's Death, Princess Leia and more, including a centerfold with four favorite girls. All look to be from 2015 and 2016, including the wrap-around cover. Linsner, 2016. Mature Readers...More. Item Code: DAW16S Soft Cover, 5x8, 424pg, Full Color |
ALSO AVAILABLE |

When the silver-tongued demon Masodik kidnaps these beautiful, powerful women, he demands that the two engage in a catfight. But the ladies suggest combat in a more sophisticated way: a storytelling contest! Plus new introduction by Linsner. Dynamite, 2015..

THE ART OF DAXIONG COLLECTION Signed Comic Illustration Character Design. Signed with Remarque. Highly Recommended. My favorite art book from the 2012 San Diego Comic-Con is back, inspired by our using his new work from Monsters & Dames 2016 on the cover of our Summer 2016 catalog. This is a full color and very impressive 140-page art book of comic illustration and character design. The work is gorgeous, particularly his beautiful Asian ladies. His designs incorporate beautiful ladies with everything from skeletons to dragons and animals. I love his depictions of the elements and the Zodiac. Each of our copies are signed with a nicely detailed large original ink drawing! Flag Studios, 2012....More. Item Code: ARTDAXH Hard Cover, 9x11, 138pg, Full Color $45.00 |
| Daxiong's wonderful fantasy piece from Monsters & Dames 2016 is on the cover of our latest catalog. It was fortuitous that he was at Comic-Con with his art book that we first stocked four years ago, so he drew a piece for every one and we brought more copies in. |

RGK The Art of Roy G Krenkel Back in Stock. Our Highest Recommendation. Commentary by Al Williamson and Frank Frazetta. Initially working in comic books in the 1950s, including work for EC's sci-fi titles with Williamson and Frazetta, Roy Krenkel soon moved into digest and book illustration, and finally fine art and book covers. Commissioned to draw the covers for the Ace Burroughs paperbacks, he couldn't keep up and brought friend Frank Frazetta in to help--and thereby began Frank's cover career! Seemingly never on the A-list, he nonetheless produced some exquisite work and it's nicely featured here, with superb reproduction. Vanguard, 2005....More. Item Code: RGK Soft Cover, 9x11, 136pg, Partial Color $24.95 |

News and Notes |
SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON 2016 For my own collection, I found LOTS of Golden Age comics—best up, Amazing Mystery #24, last issue, with Wolverton Space Patrol, 2 panels were cut out of another lesser story. Just happy to find it. A rare one from Centaur. Also some wonderful nice condition Freelance Robin Hood and Grand Slam/3 Aces, the full color Canadian issues from the last of the WECA period. I hope someone will reprint these one of these days. A nice early Detective Comics #111, a Superbly #2, a rare Cyclone #5 (1940) from the tiny, short-lived publisher Bilbara—with art by Catman’s Charles Quinlain. I also found a fun Flash Gordon giveaway package from Sylvania in 1952, with Murphy Anderson artwork on the envelope. It’s still sealed, with a mess of color cardboard goodies inside, such as a ray gun and cap. But I’ll have to steam it open to get a look. We found several images on line, so I had some idea of what’s inside! And I’m hot after Silver Age DC westerns like All-American Western and Western Comics, with work by Gil Kane, Carmine Infantino and Alex Toth. Also pre-code and Silver age Atlas/Marvel westerns like Rawhide Kid, Gunsmoke Western, Wyatt Earp, Kid Colt, and Two-Gun Kid. Found a good batch of these, I’m trying to snag them before prices jump up like they have already on horror and sic-fi Atlas titles. Nice John Severin covers, Jack Kirby, Joe Maneely, even Russ Heath and Syd Shores to be found in these. I’m going to post a bunch of my favorite new comics to Facebook in case you want a peek, along with some comments. I can’t escape the collector in me that wants to share... Found some out of print IDW Artist’s Editions that I’ll list shortly. Even a copy of Stan Lee’s Secrets Behind the Comics that always sells for us (I ordered mine from a local bookstore in San Jose back around 1966, I think I paid $1.50 or something for it). Oh, and Paul Levitz has an article on the origins of the Direct Market in the new Overstreet Price Guide. He mentions the shop I co-founded in 1968, Seven Sons Comic Shop, as well as Comics and Comix (1972) and my working with (my mentor and good friend) Phil Seuling in the early days of the Direct Market. Overstreet really does pack in the special features in these, including more 75-year features, such as one on Plastic Man (a favorite of mine). I really, really enjoyed the new Legend of Tarzan film—I just saw it last week. It is co-produced by Dark Horse’s Mike Richardson. It may be my favorite Tarzan movie ever—really. It is so true to the original ERB characters, and totally respectful of the African natives, including Tarzan’s friends the Waziri tribe, and to Jane, who is a feisty, smart, fast-thinking heroine who is no shrinking violet... Even the animals are treated with great respect and dignity. Anthony Tollin (Sanctum) and my other ERB friends have all said nothing but good things about it. The beautiful actress who plays Jane, Margot Robbie, is also playing Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad. Boy is she a different character there. She’d even put on weight to play Jane, since no Victorian-era woman would look like the buffed out, slender little Harley that she portrays in this latest film. If your Harley interest is piqued, check out our Harley statues and graphic novels. |
