FLASH GORDON DAN BARRY SUNDAYS Volume 1 The Death Planet Highly Recommended. By Dan Barry, Mac Raboy and Harry Harrison. Following the death of Mac Raboy in 1968, Dan Barry took over production of the Sunday Flash Gordon strip. This collection, the first ever, features the first three years of a run that would last for nearly five, from The Return of Chameleon, 1/14/68, to Radiation Giants, 12/26/71. Barry took over the dailies in the 1950s and those are often works of art, beginning with strips that collaborated with Frank Frazetta and Harvey Kurtzman in the early 1950s. These Sundays are equally fine. Interview with Bob Fujitani, who was Barry's assistant from 1969-1980, and a fabled Golden Age and Silver Age artist in his own right. Titan, 2017...More. Item Code: FGS01H Hard Cover - No Dustjacket, 11x10, 224pg, Full Color |

The Secret Diary of Bettie Page, Chapter Three. This set contains three of the exact same comic inside, but with different cover images: a black and white photo of Bettie, very crisp and not one we immediately recognize--and variant covers by Joseph Michael Linsner and Scott Chantler.

EGON SCHIELE His Life and Death By Xavier Coste. The story of the artistic genius who provoked early 20th-century tolerance--an evocative depiction based on the life of the Austro-Hungarian artist whose short career spanned the turn of the 20th century. Schiele (1890-1918) was a painter known for full-frontal portraits of naked women. They were stark and disturbing. He painted his subjects in gaunt, twisted and unnatural poses. Their voyeuristic tone and blatant eroticism outraged society, landing him briefly in prison. Nevertheless, his works would have a strong influence on the development of expressionist art. Firefly, 2017. Mature Readers...More. Item Code: EGOSCH Hard Cover - No Dustjacket, 9x12, 72pg, Full Color |

ROBERT CAPA A Graphic Biography Recommended. By Florent Silloray. A brilliant portrayal of the career of the great war photographer who, at the time of his death in 1954, had only one wish: to be an unemployed war photographer. By the start of World War II, Capa was in New York freelancing for LIFE, Time, and other publications. He went abroad with the US Army to record Allied involvement in WWII, including D-Day on Omaha Beach. Disembarking from a landing boat, he took the only images of the invasion. He went on to cover the war in Leipzig, Nuremberg, Berlin, London and Paris. Even now, it is the D-Day images that marked him as the world's greatest war photographer. Firefly, 2017...More. Item Code: ROBCH Hard Cover - No Dustjacket, 9x12, 88pg, Tritone |

CORTO MALTESE Volume 6 Fable of Venice Recommended. By Hugo Pratt. In this affectionate tribute to his home town, Hugo Pratt offers a complex mystery thriller involving Freemasons, occultists, and esotericists set during the rise of Fascism in 1921. Corto Maltese's return to Venice is ostensibly a search for an emerald known as the Clavicle of Solomon, but could it also open the hidden doors of magic and unravel the nature of time and space in this city of secrets? Or is it merely “the stuff that dreams are made of,” as was the black bird of Dashiell Hammett's The Maltese Falcon? IDW, 2017...More. Item Code: CORU06 Soft Cover, 9x11, 64pg, b&w |

FRANK FRAZETTA ICON PROMOTIONAL BROCHURE Recommended. When Underwood Books produced Icon, the first of three books they devoted to Frank Frazetta, they pulled out all the stops.

FRANK FRAZETTA ICON Hardcover Comes with bonus second dust jacket! Highly Recommended. Edited by Cathy and Arnie Fenner. Frank Frazetta's paintings and illustrations have set the standard for fantasy artists for the past 50 years. His art continues to exert a tremendous influence over collectors of classic comic and sci-fi art, who pay record-setting auction prices for his original works. This lushly produced, large-format retrospective follows Frazetta's career from his apprenticeships at various publishers in the 1940s, to his 1950s breakthrough with the "Buck Rogers" and "Lil' Abner" series, to his powerfully erotic compositions for the works of Edgar Rice Burroughs and the famous "Conan" illustrations for Robert E. Howard. Underwood Books, 1998. Out of Print....More. Item Code: FFIH Hard Cover, 9x12, 164pg, Full Color $150.00 |
The actual dust jacket art for this is almost the same as on the brochure, although there are some interesting tweaks. But we have pictured here the art for the deluxe edition dust jacket, included as a bonus with all copies of the hardcover. We have only five copies of the hardcover, and nine of the softcover. We also have one very slightly dinged hardcover [RB277. $120]. And there is just one copy left of the Deluxe Limited Edition [FFID. $450.00]. The other two have sold. We also have copies of the fantastic Spectrum series, but didn't have them ready in time for this email. Keep checking back for more additions. |

SURREALSCAPES The Fantasy Art of Jacek Yerka 2018 Calendar Highly Recommended. This surreal artist was the subject of art books in 1994 and 2006 (with a major introduction by Harlan Ellison) from Morpheus, the U.S. publisher for H.R. Giger. Polish born artist Jacek Yerka has created a style completely his own, combining a unique European perspective and imagination with traditional Flemish techniques. His mind-bending, dreamlike landscapes seem both realistic and surreal, in the tradition of Escher. They can be disturbing and attractive, fanciful or just downright bizarre. Sellers, 2017...More.

BATMAN 2018 Calendar 16-Month calendar. Recommended. Batman, his women, and his enemies each get a month.

Canadian Whites - Heroes of the Home Front Last chance, the Kickstarter campaign for this fine book on Bell Features Publishing will end Wednesday October 4th at 9am EST. On our Facebook page, it was mentioned the price of the book could be prohibitive for some. I want to point out that you can support the project with as little as $2, and for $16, you can get a PDF of the entire book, ready in February! |
Now, I’d love to have you buy a copy from us (regular is $75, deluxe/limited is $100, and unlike Kickstarter, you don’t have to pay us until the book ships). But--the important thing is to make this project fly. Even I have gotten into the habit of reading the latest Alter Ego issue, and dealer catalogs, as a PDF file. I have to say it’s not a bad way to go. Here’s a link to author Ivan Kocmarek’s latest post on Comic Book Daily, which I found heartfelt and passionate. He speaks to the heart of what we care most about in the world of comic books: not just the comics themselves, but for creators who give so much to create comics for us. |
