COBY WHITMORE Artist and Illustrator
Limited, 1000. Our Highest Recommendation. For over 30 years, Coby Whitmore's elegant and fashionable illustrations graced the pages of almost every major American magazine. Sophisticated, with imaginative compositions, brilliant use of color, superb draftsmanship, and good taste, his pictures represented the "Good Life" in the post-war U.S. They are nearly all most notable for their glamorous women--the ideal of American youth, sophistication and beauty. The ladies are feisty, independent, know their own minds...the product of the new found weath and leisure of America in the 1950s and 60s. Illustrated Press, 2018...More.

ILLUSTRATION MAGAZINE #60
Highly Recommended. Featuring Gilbert Bundy, Frederic Várady and N.C. Wyeth. The cover feature presents the work of Frederic Varady, (1908-2002), known for his wonderful slick magazine illustrations of fashionable men and women of the 1940s and '50s. Next we have cartoonist Gilbert Bundy, (1911-1955) who produced many cartoons for Esquire magazine before becoming a war correspondent during WWII. Much like Playboy cartoons but a bit more innocent. Last, a look at N.C. Wyeth's book illustrations for the classic Rip van Winkle, "As if from Dreams Awakened," by Brian M. Kane. Illustrated Press, 2018...More.

FLIGHT OF THE RAVEN
Winner of the Best Artist Award, Angouleme. Our Highest Recommendation. By Jean-Pierre Gibrat. It is Paris during the German Occupation in 1944-45. Our heroine in the French Resistance, Jeanne, is in a French jail, about to be turned over to the Nazis. She escapes with the help of an apolitical cat burglar named François and together they try to save her comrades, including her missing sister Cécile (star of the prequel book, The Reprieve), from the Gestapo. They walk in the places between shadows, as Gibrat uses the evocative Paris rooftops and river barges on the Seine almost as separate characters. We love this book. The heroine is gorgeous and sexy, characterization is superb, and the water-colored art is stunning. IDW, 2018. Mature Readers...More.

Loves, hatreds, jealousies, cowardice, acts of heroism play out before him--especially the beautiful waitress Cécile. Until the moment comes when, spectator no more, he must become an actor himself and meet his destiny. This hidden life he had hoped to live was just a reprieve. Some adult themes and tasteful nudity.

Gary Gianni: Hellboy and Lovecraft!

 
HELLBOY INTO THE SILENT SEA Studio Edition Signed
With signed bookplate! Our Highest Recommendation. By Mike Mignola and Gary Gianni. Art by Gary Gianni. After many years of talking about Moby Dick (the book and the film), Victorian ghost stories, comics, folklore and history in general, Mike Mignola, Hellboy and Gary Gianni embarked on a stand-alone story, the graphic-novel adventure titled Into the Silent Sea. Hellboy is marooned in the Sargasso Sea, in that misty, inexplicable realm where classic tales of horror begin. The 144-page collection presents every page from the original art, oversized, every page also in original pencils, each one with revealing commentary by both creators. Plus: the complete, readable MonsterMen story, "A Gift for the Wicked," in the same pencils opposite inks format. Flesk, 2018...More.

ILLUSTRATED CALL OF CTHULHU H.P. Lovecraft
Highly Recommended. By H.P. Lovecraft. Art by Gary Gianni. Written in 1928, H.P. Lovecraft's Call of Cthulhu defined the ancient gods as dark creatures who came from the stars and ruled the world before mankind. The artist Gary Gianni and designer Marcelo Anciano both felt that Lovecraft's short story presented an opportunity to visually expand the Cthulhu mythos and push the boundaries of illustrated books. Intense and packed with ambiguous literary descriptions, the tale enabled them to explore graphic storytelling and illustrate the text in a unique way. It was a personal project for Gianni, who drew upon not only his experience from illustrating numerous books but also his decades of work in comic books. Flesk, 2018...More.

BEST OF WITZEND
Our Highest Recommendation. By Wallace Wood, Steve Ditko, Frank Frazetta, et al. Fed up with the formulaic restrictions, censors, and no creator's rights in mainstream comics, Wallace Wood created and published his own magazine in 1965. It was the first ever "pro" fanzine — witzend. Immediately it became a cauldron of bubbling creativity for Wood and his friends to produce their own personal work, without regard to commercial constraints. And with friends like Frank Frazetta, Al Williamson, Gray Morrow, and Reed Crandall, it was bound to be a great ride. (And that was just the first issue!) Fantagraphics, 2018. Due Aug. ...More.
