Spring Sale! |
This is a special event this time. We’ve reduced the price on several Underwood Books File Copies, and most particularly on two signed/limited Jeffrey Jones books and his hand-colored print—not due to lack of sales so much as because we got more copies than some of the other items from Underwood. We also have a big selection of statues, all newly reduced in price. Please note we have VERY limited quantities on many of the other items, sometimes as few as two, such as on several statues. So act quickly to avoid missing out. We rarely have more than three to six copies in stock of most of these listed. |

REVOLUTION The Art of Jon Foster Deluxe Signed Signed & limited, 300! In slipcase. Highly Recommended. Art by Jon Foster. Edited by Cathy and Arnie Fenner, and Irene Gallo. Jon Foster creates irresistibly dark demimondes populated by retro robots, Star Wars villains, and creepy goth-inspired creatures that recall the work of James Gurney (Dinotopia), Rick Berry, H. R. Giger, and past masters of the grotesque like Goya. Yet his work is inimitably his own, from the noirish lighting, off-kilter angles, and kinetic sense of movement to his singular technique of starting a project with oils and then scanning it into a computer to add more startling visual effects. Underwood Books, 2006. Out of Print....More. Item Code: REVOD Hard Cover, 9x12, 128pg, Full Color |
This is an Underwood Publisher File Copy. Note the very small limitation. We also have a very special and unique copy of his very rare Progressions [RB320. $500]. It includes an original drawing and is inscribed to Underwood himself. Published in 2002. |

| FRANK BRANGWYN The Way of the Cross Limited, 750! Our Highest Recommendation. By Frank Brangwyn. Originally printed in 1935 in a limited edition of 250, this new edition features 14 plates--reproduced from the original lithographic reproductions--of the fourteen stations of the cross. Brangwyn, 1867-1956, had an excellent eye for the divinity of the working man and the hardiness of humanity.

Auad, 2009...More. Item Code: FRBR Hard Cover - No Dustjacket, 11x14, 20pg, b&w |
This is a gorgeous book from by Auad Publishing—I consider it the finest production he’s ever done. The religious subject matter can turn some folks off, though as art it is superb. And Brangwyn, as popular ar Arthur Rackham or Edmont Dulac in his day, is not very well known now because he didn’t do popular children’s illustrated books like these others, but more serious illustrated work. See my full description and look at the scans of the interior by clicking on the title—and see what you think. Most of Auad’s many art books are out of print, but still available are: Al Parker: Illustrator, Innovator [ALPAH. |

MIKE HAMMER The Complete Dailies and Sundays Recommended. By Mickey Spillane. Art by Ed Robbins. For the very first time, here are every single Mike Hammer daily and Sunday page.

He moved on to create the most famous hard-boiled detective ever, books filled with violence and sex that sold millions. Hermes, 2013...More.

RED BARRY UNDERCOVER MAN Volume 1 Hurt Highly Recommended. By Will Gould. Red Barry was one of the most visually innovative adventure strips of the mid-1930s, combining fluid brushwork and noir shadows (in bold blues and purples) with figures that were constantly in motion. And a level of violence that brought cries of protest from its syndicate. Red Barry and Secret Agent X-9 were King Features' answers to the Tribune's Dick Tracy. While X-9 continued for decades, Red Barry by Will Gould (no relation to Chester) was an auteur's vision that lasted less than four years. IDW, 2016.

As Bart Beaty notes, "The strip is not so much about Archie as it is about the interaction of all those characters who exist in his orbit. The relatively large cast is particularly suited to the gag-a-day format." IDW, 2014...More. Item Code: ARS02H Hard Cover - No Dustjacket, 12x9, 276pg, b&w |
