Set a few years in the past, it's a bold new take on a classic hero. DC, 2012. Out of Print....More.

FIGHTING AMERICAN
Collects #1-7, 1954-55. Highly Recommended. By Joe Simon and Jack Kirby. With tongue firmly in cheek, unparalleled action and drama, in the best S&K style, but with stories and characters that didn't take themselves too seriously. Here were cold-war commies, fatal femme fatales, goofy bad guys you'd never seen the like of before. Were comics in 1954 ready for it....yes and no. Fighting American lasted seven glorious issues and was revived by Harvey in the early 1960s. S&K fans recognize these as among the team's finest work. Dramatic, funny and gloriously drawn, packed with flat-out action and delightfully eccentric stories. Titan, 2011. Out of Print....More.

WORRY DOLL
Introduction by Shaun Tan. By Matt Coyle. ". . . Coyle's work is groundbreaking. The imagery in Worry Doll is so far ahead of anything out there in terms of visual sophistication that it suggests a new way forward for the genre—maybe a new genre altogether." — Sebastian Smee, The Daily Telegraph. A creepy, photo-realistic story told in line art, like a wordless novel but with brief text on the facing pages. A group of dolls find their hosts murdered and flee the crime scene, setting out on a nightmarish road trip. Creepy like Neil Gaiman's Coraline. Outstanding artwork. Dover, 2016.

It's WAY COOL. Two high schoolers get lost inside the Mystery Forest and come upon Nith, a dangerous alternate universe. As they explore this strange new land, they discover magical powers they didn't know they had! Putnam, 2016...More.

BEFORE THE ANIMATION BEGINS
Warehouse find, 1996. Highly Recommended. By John Canemaker. This is the absolute best collection of rare, never-before-seen art by all of the masters of the early Disney cartoon. Disney's pioneering animated films began in the imaginations of the "inspirational sketch artists." Allowed to work with an unprecedented degree of creative freedom, these talented artists attempted to conjure the "look" of a film: appearance of characters, the action's locale, mood and use of color. Hyperion, 1996. Out of Print.. Note: Varnish may be separating, some tears to dust jackets, bumped corners--overall very good plus condition. Out-of-print, first edition, never reprinted....More.

ROY THOMAS PRESENTS FRANKENSTEIN Volume 8 Slipcased
Limited, 300! Collects #28-33, 1954. Recommended. Written and drawn by Dick Briefer, with Mort Meskin and Marvin Stein. While earlier issues were pure humor, here Frankenstein continues, and in fact concludes, its dark, sinister turn into pure horror. I particularly like these stories, as the mute monster relentlessly deals out harsh, final justice to anyone who wishes him ill. He also became a silent judge-and-jury when he finds others persecuted or wronged. Each issue also includes two back-up stories, horror tales typical of the horror comics genre before the code came along. PS Artbooks, 2015. Out of Print....More.

CHARLES SCHULZ PEANUTS Artist's Edition
Recommended. Charles Schulz's Peanuts debuted in 1950 and would become what is arguably the most important comic strip of all time. Peanuts transcended the medium, presenting complex issues and moral dilemmas in the space of four panels, while maintaining a bitingly funny sense of humor. For the first time, you can see the original art created by the artist himself--in IDW's multi-award-winning Artist's Edition format, with each strip being carefully scanned and reproduced (in an unusual oblong format), two strips to a page.

Written by Mike Baron and first published in 1989 and 1992, starring the same Deadman that Carmine Infantino and Neal Adams first made famous. Kelley made him even darker, even more baroque and bizarre. DC, 2017...More.

Al Williamson's career is crammed full of amazing accomplishments: star artist for the EC Comics line while barely in his twenties, drawing the definitive comic-book version of Alex Raymond's Flash Gordon, producing the X-9: Secret Agent Corrigan comic strip for 10 years, plus many more! Until seeing this original artwork, I didn't realize how finely detailed this is, very much in his EC style! This is legendary among fans. His heroic adventure style was perfectly suited for Star Wars--Williamson was George Lucas' first choice for the Star Wars newspaper comic strip, which he would later go on to draw!
