LOVECRAFT THE MYTH OF CTHULHU
Our Highest Recommendation. By Esteban Maroto. The amazing fine-line illustrator, well-known for his work for Warren and Vampirella, here adapts the first three of H.P. Lovecraft's most famous stories involving the Cthulhu Mythos. Created originally for an aborted French project many years ago, this was printed in the U.S. only in a limited-distribution edition by Cross Plains Press in 2000, translated at that time by Roy Thomas. Maroto was very specifically asked to make his monster look like Alex Niño's--who is a good friend, so with Niño's approval, he did! It's the best of all worlds: Maroto's beautiful rendering, epic Lovecraft storytelling and the origin of Cthulhu...and Niño-style Elder Gods and dark horror! IDW, 2018...More.

Item Code: LOVEM

R. CRUMB SKETCHBOOK Volume 4 1982-1989
Recommended. By Robert Crumb. Crumb declaring in one drawing, above a lovingly rendered tree, “As I get older I get more twisted, convoluted, depraved, cynical, embittered, self-centered, jaded, debauched, ruthless, greedy, conceited, set-in-my-ways, long-winded, absent-minded, prejudiced, closed-minded, misanthropic, nervous...” To prove this self-flagellating analysis he fills the pages with his signature perversions (in country settings), scathing social commentary, cruel self-portraits, experimental cubism... and some lovely sylvan landscape. Taschen, 2018. Due Oct. Adult Material...More.

Item Code: RCSK04H
Hard Cover, 8x11, 448pg, Partial Color
$40.00

Volumes 1-3 are in stock at the same price. See all of our R. Crumb collections on the website, including a few new listings in Rare Books. The bestseller of all of our Crumb titles has been his Bible of Filth, which is as adult as any of Crumb's work gets. For obvious reasons I'm not picturing it here [BIBFH. $35]. It's printed in a facsimile Bible format, with gilt on all edges, jet black covers and gold embossed titles.

 
JAMES CAWTHORN The Man and His Art

Dark Pin-Up: The Photography of Lars Kommienzuspadt. Don't let his name put you off, this is a unique and really very good book. It's pin-up photography but on the dark side. Great noir sets, lots of cool details, lingerie and nudity, wonderful moody lighting. I admit to getting jaded on photography books sometimes, so when a special one like this comes along, I have to draw your attention to it. Check out our inside scans of four of the pages. I call this a darker side Cosplay and also note it's not unlike Suicide Girls, but again, darker and fun, and far more staged.

We also have two more nude photography books, both from European publisher Goliath. Natural & Naked is the first, and Pussy & Butt is the second. Both feature full body photography. See our website for all of our Goliath titles.

A new Cavewoman is here, Raptorella's Revenge #2 with a variant nude Budd Root cover. See all Cavewoman offerings on our website.
