I really like the Land of Terror ERB editions, and espeically Bob Eggleton's stunning wrap around cover art. From Calla comes a fine collection of vintage World War One Posters. We have a new collection by Everett Raymond Kinstler, and a very EC-like one from Richard Corben at a steal of a price.The Valerian series concludes with the final two volumes. Milton Caniff's Steve Canyon and the polar opposite, The Freak Brothers, are here—covering the entire spectrum of comic art! |

I don't know how they did it, but this new edition of Land of Terror is not only more limited, at just 200 copies of each variant, but is $50 less than their first replica edition, Back to the Stone Age. They are both lovely books and obviously a labor of love to put together. Don't miss out. This is not the only new ERB book to appear lately. Find them all on our website. |

TAMARA DE LEMPICKA Recommended. By Gioia Mori. An aura of mystery has surrounded Tamara de Lempicka since she was born, not in Warsaw in 1902, as she claimed, but according to official records in 1898 in Moscow. The beautiful and scandalous Tamara was the extravagant muse of Art Deco, an icon of the roaring twenties, and a successful painter of intensely sensual portraits that were powerfully sculptural with Cubist lines, embellished with sophisticated decorative elements. This is as much about her as about her art, perhaps more so, with wonderful period photographs of the seductive woman and bon vivant, interspersed with unusual drawings and details of her works. 24 ORE Cultura, 2015. Mature Readers...More. Item Code: TAMDLH Hard Cover, 11x12, 320pg, Partial Color $48.00 |

WORLD WAR ONE POSTERS An Anniversary Collection Highly Recommended. Art by Flagg, Lyendecker, Christy, Dunn, Brangwyn, Holwein et al. In commemoration of the 100th anniversary of America's entrance into World War I, this handsome volume presents the finest 100 of the war, each one full page and from the original poster. From thousands of examples produced in Europe, including Germany, France, England, Austria, Belgium, and the U.S., this collection offers a choice selection accompanied by detailed captions. WWI marked the first use of color lithographic posters as a propaganda tool, and they formed a major method of communications on both sides of the conflict. Calla, 2018...More.

ARTHUR MELVILLE Adventures In Color. Recommended. By Kenneth McConkey and Charlotte Topsfield. A comprehensive survey of Arthur Melville's (1855-1904) rich and varied career as artist-adventurer, Orientalist, forerunner of The Glasgow Boys, painter of modern life and re-interpreter of the landscape of Scotland. His travels inspired spectacular watercolors and paintings. This book illustrates around sixty of his works, each with a catalogue entry, and an essay by Kenneth McConkey, which discusses Melville's art and career. His stunning watercolors remind us of Russell Flint, without the naked ladies, of Frank Brangwyn and Glasgow School artists like Margaret MacDonald and Charles Rennie MacIntosh. The Orientalist pieces are impressionistic but so fine. National Galleries Scotland, 2016...More. Item Code: ARMEL Soft Cover, 10x10, 136pg, Full Color $29.95 |

IMPRESSIONS & OBSERVATIONS THE SKETCHBOOKS OF EVERETT RAYMOND KINSTLER Impressions, Observations, Enthusiasms: 1942-2017. Highly Recommended. By Everett Raymond Kinstler. Filled with sketches, water colors, pen and ink roughs, from his comic book days (Hawkman, Avon covers and those lovely ”contents pages”), to studies for comissions of famous people, include presidents and Dr. Seuss. ERK is just amazing; he was inspired by the fine line work of James Montgomery Flagg, whom he befriended later in life, and he had one of the longest and most rewarding careers in commerical illustraton and fine art. Never before collected work, a perfect companion to the JVJ book that we also handle. Westtown Publishing, 2017...More. Item Code: IMPROB Soft Cover, 10x10, 164pg, Partial Color $50.00 |

ALSO AVAILABLE EVERETT RAYMOND KINSTLER Signed Deluxe Closeout Price! Signed & limited, 700! The Artist's Journey through Popular Culture 1942-62. Our Highest Recommendation. By Jim Vadeboncoeur, Jr. and Everett Raymond Kinstler. Signed by Everett and Jim Vadeboncoeur, Jr. on a hand-numbered bound-in print. The book comes in a red cloth-bound numbered slipcase with gold-stamped title. Kinstler's work hangs in museums, boardrooms, banks, private collections, The White House, and in the homes of his clients and friends. Before portraiture became his life's work, he spent the 1940s and 1950s honing his craft in comic books: Hawkman for DC's The Flash, Black Hood and Black Terror for Standard, and dozens upon dozens of covers, inside cover contents pages, and stories for those delightfully lurid Avon titles like Eerie, Cowpuncher, Dalton Brothers, Jesse James, Strange Worlds, etc. And illustrating for pulp magazines like The Shadow, Doc Savage and Detective Tales! JVJ, 2005...More. Item Code: EVED Hard Cover, 8x11, 244pg, Partial Color |
The unsigned hardcover edition, published at $44.95, is just $15 [EVEH.]. The signed edition was among our 2017 Bestsellers. It is priced thus due to my relationship as friend and former partner with the publisher, Jim Vadeboncoeur, Jr., (JVJ Publishing), who moved to Paris and placed his remaining stock with us. |

Mature ReadersWe have a new Cavewoman Pool Party, with a variant nude cover by Budd Root. And a set of two vintage reprints of erotic Italian comics, in English, that were produced by Pacific Comics Club more than 20 years ago. Our first Adults only email was sent out earlier this week. New to this email are never-before-listed issues of Scream Queens Illustrated, new SQP titles and new Warehouse Finds. If you missed it, you can contact us and we can send it to you. Due to restrictions from our Blog service provider, we are not posting the adults-only email there.To get on the list for future Adults-only emails, click here.
