THE ARTIST BEHIND SUPERMAN The Joe Shuster Story Highly Recommended. By Julian Voloj. Art by Thomas Campi. Everyone knows Superman, but not everyone knows the secret origins of this American legend. Based on archival material and original sources, all incredibly well documented with extensive notes, here is told the very personal story of the friendship between illustrator Joe Shuster and writer Jerry Siegel, and how creating Superman changed their lives both for the better and for the worse. Super Genius, 2018...More. Item Code: TRUJU Soft Cover, 6x9, 180pg, Full Color |

THE ARTIST BEHIND SUPERMAN The Joe Shuster Story Hardcover Highly Recommended. By Julian Voloj. Art by Thomas Campi. Told from Shuster's perspective, beginning with a policeman who gives him a meal after finding him hungry on a park bench, homeless, this offers us a fascinating graphic novel about geeks and gangsters. It puts Superman's creation into the wider context of the American comic-book history. What's amazing about this is even though I've read the history of these two creators before, this offers new material. And it is also as well documented as anything I have ever seen. 14 illustrated pages at the end of the book carefully detail the sources and direct quotes that are used on the specific pages of this story. Super Genius, 2018...More. |

ALSO AVAILABLE SIEGEL AND SHUSTER'S FUNNYMAN Closeout Price! Back in stock. Highly Recommended. Art by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. Edited by Thomas Andrae and Mel Gordon. The little-known super-heroic invention by the creators of Superman, their first project after leaving DC Comics. Included are complete stories and runs of the rare dailies and Sundays (in full color). Siegel and Shuster struggled to come up with a new superhero, one that would right their wrongs and prove that justice, fair-play, and zany craftsmanship were the true American way. But Funnyman failed miserably, even though it's a lot of fun to read today. And the art is very good, too. It's a must-have collection for any comic fan. Feral House, 2010...More. Item Code: SNDS Soft Cover, 7x10, 184pg, Full Color |
Jerry and Joe's story is also examined in Masterful Marks: Cartoonists Who Changed the World (three copies left) and Superboy. See our website for Joe's Superman in archives and omnibus collections. |

VALERIAN AND LAURELINE Memories from the Futures Book 22 in the series. Original edition 2013. Highly Recommended. By Pierre Christin. Art by J.C. Mézières. Even though Valerian and Laureline's adventures have come to an end in Book 21, there are many chapters that haven't been told yet. Simple episodes, post-scripts to their main stories, moments of their lives seen through the eyes of their friends, their allies, or even their enemies. Here's a collection of vignettes that will cast a new light – sometimes funny, sometimes touching – on the saga of our heroes. Both sequential panels and some very nice full page paintings of our heroes and the alien cast. Cinebook, 2018...More. Item Code: VAL22 Soft Cover, 8x11, 56pg, Full Color $13.95 |
More Valerian graphic novels, as well as The Complete Valerian Hardcovers, are on our website. |

THE MICHAEL MOORCOCK LIBRARY The Swords of Heaven, The Flowers of Hell Erekosë Finally available again, the classic graphic novel from 1979. Highly Recommended. By Michael Moorcock, art by Howard Chaykin. Moorcock himself wrote the outline for this adaptation of his story especially for Chaykin, whom he greatly admired. This was early in Howard's career and he pulled out all the stops on this. It's fully painted--before digital computer work became the norm in comics--and it's wonderful work. An adult fantasy novel (with occasional nudity) starring Urlik Skarsol, an incarnation of Moorcock's famous Eternal Champion. He is now Clen of Clen-Gar, a knight of the Dream Marches. His soul-drinking sword makes him the protector of...Heaven. Titan, 2018...More. Item Code: MMEMSHH Hard Cover - No Dustjacket, 8x10, 80pg, Full Color |
Moorcock and Chaykin are both well represented on our website. |

BARBARELLA #6 Comic Set Set of four variant covers--interior is the same--by Dave McCaig, Brent Schoonover, Marguerite Sauvage & Ricardo Jaime. By Mike Carey. Art by Kenan Yarar. The great R.U.S.T. rush has pitted Barbarella against fellow prospectors, the Glain family as the old west meets the final frontier (and please, no "Cowboys and Aliens jokes)! With an inconceivable fortune at stake the fighting is getting dirty, and Barbarella finds herself on the defensive in a maze where time and space have no meaning! But the heart of the maze is stranger still... Dynamite, 2018 ...More. Item Code: BAR06P Soft Cover, 7x10, 32pg ea, Full Color $15.99 |

SUPERGIRL The Silver Age Omnibus Volume 2 Action Comics #308-376, 1964-69. Recommended. By Leo Dorfman et al. Art by Jim Mooney, Kurt Schaffenberger et al. Fun stories from a kinder, gentler time....part of the complex Mort Weisinger/Superman mythos of the Silver Age. In these 1960s Supergirl adventures, the Girl of Steel meets the Tot from Nowhere, learns more about the fate of her hometown Argo City and encounters Lex Luthor's sister, Lena Thurol. Linda Danvers enrolls in Stanhope College and considers leaving Earth for a planet of super-powered women! Collects stories from Action Comics #308-333, 335-340, 342, 344-346, 348-350, 353-354, 356-359, 361-372, 374-376. DC, 2018...More. Item Code: SGSOM02H Hard Cover, 7x11, 704pg, Full Color |
 |
ALSO AVAILABLE SUPERGIRL The Silver Age Omnibus Volume 1 Collects Action Comics #252-307, 1959-63. Highly Recommended. By Otto Binder, Leo Dorfman and Jerry Siegel. Art by Jim Mooney and Al Plastino. I find these vintage stories charming and fun to read. This was back when Superman was still keeping Supergirl a secret--she had to hide her very existence from the world while also doing super-heroic deeds, much like Superboy did in the early seasons of Smallville. Superman creator Jerry Siegel worked on these, along with the talented Otto Binder and they are quintessential Silver Age stories, fun, innocent, each one complete in itself. These are all backup stories from the back pages of Action Comics. DC, 2016...More. Item Code: SGSOM Hard Cover, 6x8, 688pg, Full Color |

BLACK PANTHER Epic Collection Volume 1 Panther's Rage Back in stock. Fantastic Four #52-53 & Jungle Action #6-24, 1966-76. Recommended. By Don McGregor, Rich Buckler, Billy Graham, Gil Kane, Keith Polland et al. In the 1960s, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby created an unprecedented string of classic comic book heroes, including the high-tech king of Wakanda, The Black Panther. For his own solo series, Don McGregor strove to meet the same high standard with "Panther's Rage." It was an epic adventure so huge it ranged across the savannah, into the deepest jungles and up snow-topped mountains, to explore and expand the life and culture of Wakanda and their African kingdom in compelling detail. Marvel, 2016...More. Item Code: BPE01 Soft Cover, 7x10, 400pg, Full Color |

By Dan DeCarlo, Stan Golldberg, Chic Stone, Bob Bolling, Jon D'Agostino et al. 72 complete stories, plus six fun "cover galleries" capture each part of the two decades. Every story source is documented. New introduction by Hal Lifson. If you are a boomer like me, this is the Archie you were reading and still feel closest to. The sixties... a time of dreams, hopes, revolution and social change! Even in Riverdale! At the forefront of the decade were the nation's youth--enjoying the latest fads, speaking their minds and defining a generation. And the swinging seventies--enjoying the latest fashions as our heroes stay hip to the times. Archie Comics, 2018...More. Item Code: BESSA Soft Cover, 5x7, 414pg, Full Color $9.99 |

FORD MADOX BROWN Pre-Raphaelite Pioneer Closeout Price! A massive volume. Recommended. By Julian Treuherz. Ford Madox Brown had already pioneered a style of painting which came to be known as Pre-Raphaelite before the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was founded in 1848. His beautifully observed landscapes anticipated the open-air effects of the Impressionists. His art was anti-academic, rejecting easy solutions, prettiness, and conventional Victorian formulae. He depicted children without sentimentality and poor people without condescension. This major monograph provides a general introduction to Brown's art based on new research; all of his important paintings are included, and each one is illustrated and described. Philip Wilson Publishing, 2011...More. Item Code: FORDH Hard Cover, 8x11, 336pg, Full Color |

ALSO AVAILABLE FRANK DICKSEE 1853-1928 His Art and Life Highly Recommended. By Simon Toll. Victorian painter and illustrator Frank Dicksee gets the full treatment, a history of his life and works with a catalog raisonné—many pictures previously unpublished. He was born with the first wave of Pre-Raphaelitism and he inherited the romantic spirit of the movement. If you like the work of fellow PRB members Waterhouse and Watts, this is your painter. Knights, beautiful ladies, mythology, in wonderfully detailed oil paintings. He became one of the most popular artists of the late 19th-century, painting in a sumptuous and dramatic style. Antique Collectors Club, 2016...More. Item Code: FRADH Hard Cover, 8x12, 240pg, Full Color |
See our website for more 19th Century artists, such as G.F. Watts, Burne-Jones, Voysey, Arthur Hughes, William Morris, and Alma-Tadema. And books on the Pre-Raphaelites, and Victorian art and photography. |

You're about to learn everything you could ever want to know about the world history of men's magazines--not magazines about sports, hunting or fishing or how to build a birdhouse, but those titillating periodicals embracing the subject dearest to all heterosexual men's (and some women's) hearts--and other body parts: the undraped female form.

X-MEN Dark Phoenix Saga Omnibus X-Men #97-105, 107-108, 125-138 and parts of ten other comics. Highly Recommended. By Chris Claremont and Jo Duffy. Art by Dave Cockrum, John Byrne et al. The greatest comic book saga ever told, in one cosmic-sized Omnibus! It begins with a shocking story in which Jean Grey/Marvel Girl sacrifices herself...only to be reborn as Phoenix! But when a galaxy-spanning adventure reveals that Jean Grey has somehow attained power beyond conception, Cyclops and the X-Men can only watch as Phoenix is corrupted absolutely.

AVAILABLE NOW PHOENIX RESURRECTION Volume 1 The Return of Jean Grey Collects #1-5, 2017-18. Recommended. By Matthew Rosenberg. Art by Leinil Francis Yu, Carlos Pacheco and Joe Bennett. Years ago, Jean Grey died at the hands of a villainous mutant -- and the X-Men mourned her. Jean's teammates have lived without her, and some have died. But now, when strange and mysterious events start happening all over the world, an unmistakable pattern forms, and the X-team can only come to one startling conclusion. Impossible as it seems -- the one true Jean Grey is back from the dead! We liked this; a stand-alone story which doesn't require you to be current on the X-Men universe, with many original X-Men members: Beast, Kitty Pryde (now team leader), Iceman, Scott and Logan. Bonus: 13 variant covers! Marvel, 2018...More. Item Code: PR01 Soft Cover, 6x10, 136pg, Full Color |

News and Notes |
The Complete Sky Master Sundays I spent much of last weekend trying to get more copies of this—our lead feature last week. Long story short, it turned out we had some of the very few copies in the U.S. Diamond Comic Distributors had solicited it, but the book was so late they cancelled their order. We got ours direct from a contributor, and expected we could reorder more without a problem. But he had no more copies. The publisher and all copies are in Spain. We now must wait until a new container shipment gets here by boat...which means August before we see more copies. On top of that, the print run may not allow all orders to be filled, so we don’t know how many we will be getting. We sold out of this by last Friday afternoon, 24 hours after it went up on our email. |
| I am recommending that if you want one, go ahead and order it from us. That way you will get priority for when our new shipment arrives, and if we get shorted, earliest orders will be filled first. If you read my description, you’ll see how enthusiastic I am about this book. I gave it my highest recommendation. |
| Sky Masters The Complete Dailies is currently out of stock because we sold out our entire stock last week. More are on the way, these are from a publisher here in the U.S. and it remains in print. |
| The new film opens this weekend. Here are our two Deadpool items. Click here to see our two Omnibus (and Minibus) collections. |

San Diego Comic-Con My announcement that we would not be exhibiting at San Diego Comic-Con went viral a bit...I was interviewed by the San Diego Times. You can read the article here if you like. Heidi McDonald posted excerpts on her blog Newsbeat, and I left a comment there. And I’m still trying to catch up with all the comments on Facebook. It’s nice to be appreciated! Everyone seems to understand and sympathize. |
| You can see my comments here on the blog if you missed them (scroll to the bottom). The headline of the SD Times article could be construed to mean I am retiring, but that’s not the case...We are full steam ahead here at the warehouse, filling orders and all. Just no more exhibiting at Comic-Con. |
