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 beginning in 1965. It was the first ever "pro" fanzine. 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!). In later issues, Steve Ditko, Alex Toth, Art Spiegelman, Vaughn Bodé, Jim Steranko, Jeff Jones, Howard Chaykin, Bernie Wrightson — and dozens more — joined in. Fantagraphics, 2018...More.

Plus: SEVEN COMPLETE pre-hero Monster stories AND finally, 27 covers, splash and pin-up pages from more very early issues. IDW, 2018...More.

THE SHADOW #132
Fingers of Death and The Blackest Mail. Recommended. By Walter B. Gibson and Bruce Elliott. Art by Tom Lovell and Newt Alfred. One by one, prominent citizens fall victim to "Fingers of Death" and only The Shadow can uncover the murderous mastermind behind the serial killings! Then, mysterious writing on a wall, a toy boat and a kite set Lamont Cranston on the trail of the Hollywood extortionist behind "The Blackest Mail." Plus, a lost Shadow radio adventure by Walter Gibson! And a look at the cast of the radio show. Also the usual highly informative "Interlude" by Will Murray. Sanctum, 2018...More.

LA VIE PARISIENNE Covers & Cartoons 1917-1922
Highly Recommended. Art by Chéri Hérouard, René Vincent, George Barbier et al.

The lavishly illustrated magazine employed many of the era's most famous and talented artists and became part of the fabric of Parisian life. This deluxe large-format volume presents scores of sumptuous color illustrations from the magazine's heyday--cover designs and elegant cartoons of chic young beauties in fanciful and occasionally risqué and even nude tableaux.

GOBLIN MARKET AND OTHER SELECTED POEMS
Exquisite Facimile Edition. Highly Recommended. By Christina Rossetti. Art by Florence Harrison. Beautifully illustrated with 16 full-color paintings and scores of line drawings by an artist inspired by the Pre-Raphaelites, a superb artist but due to a more limited output, far less known than her contemparies like Rackham, Dulac and Charles Robinson, whose b&w work may have inspired Harrison. From one of the finest poets of the Victorian era, the sister of artist D.G. Rossetti. Combines two classic collections of poetry: Goblin Market and Other Poems and Shorter Poems. The centerpiece is Rossetti's most famous work, "Goblin Market," a haunting fairy tale. Calla, 2018...More.

Over 100 drawings and watercolor paintings are packed into an 88-page full color book, an oversized 10x12 inch hardcover with a printed dust jacket and an introduction written by the one and only Charles Vess.This is mind-bogglingly good. Rayyan has pulled out each and every stop and gone way beyond mere illustration.

DISNEY MASTERS Volume 4 Donald Duck The Great Survival Test
Recommended. By Daan Jippes and Freddy Milton. Now, by popular demand, Fantagraphics collects Jippes and Milton's classic teamups — and “The Great Survival Test” is just the start! From Donald's war with lucky Gladstone in “The Briefcase Case” to Daisy's race against time in “Coat of Harms,” an amazing collection of Duck adventures is here! When Disney Legend Carl Barks stopped creating new stories in the early 1970s, the Dutch and Danish team of Daan Jippes and Freddy Milton picked up right where Barks left off, to continue Barks's art and storytelling style in new stories.

DC UNIVERSE BY MIKE MIGNOLA
Recommended. By Mike Mignola, John Byrne, Roger Stern, Neil Gaiman, Paul Kupperberg et al. While best known for his own creation, Hellboy, award-winning writer/artist Mike Mignola has also left a definite impact on DC's greatest heroes. Over more than twenty years, Mignola has touched every corner of the DC Universe, from the spires of Krypton to the shadows of Gotham City to supernatural demonic realms, from such series as The Phantom Stranger, The World of Krypton, Superman, Legends of the Dark Knight and Swamp Thing--including more than 100 pages of material which has never before been reprinted. Innovative and well-drawn work. DC, 2018...More.

DOOM PATROL THE SILVER AGE Volume 1
Collects My Greatest Adventure #80-85 and The Doom Patrol #86-95, 1963-65. Highly Recommended. By Arnold Drake and Bob Haney. Art by Bruno Premiani. The origin and first stories of the one-and-only team, considered by some as DC's answer to The X-Men. A very different comic book team, featuring a new breed of superheroes. Cast out of society due to their deformities, the Doom Patrol were a group of misfit loners not blessed, but cursed, with unnatural powers. These human oddities--Elasti-Girl, Negative Man, Robotman and the Chief--save the world one strange case at a time. Plus equally bizarre villains like the undying criminal mastermind General Immortus, shape-shifting Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man, the Brotherhood of Evil and more! DC, 2018...More.

HELLBOY OMNIBUS Volume 3
Bargain-priced massive volume. Highly Recommended. By Mike Mignola. Art by Duncan Fegredo. Featuring the major story arc that inspired the coming Helllboy film. Terrible powers determined to kill Hellboy force him to strike a deal with the Russian witch, Baba Yaga, and to confront the truth about his destiny. The human race hangs in the balance, as well as King Arthur's sword Excalibur, in a story that wipes England off the map and sets in motion the end of the world. The complete trilogy is collected for the first time in this 512-page volume, reprinting Darkness CallsThe Wild Hunt, and The Storm and the Fury, plus the short story ''The Mole.'' Darj Horse, 2018...More.

I also recommend Into the Silent Sea. This comes only in hardcover but it's cheap, with a bonus illustrated bookplate signed by Gary Gianni [HELINTS. $14.99]. I also greatly enjoy the Hellboy as a young BPRD troubleshooter series, Hellboy and the B.P.R.D. 1953, 1954, and 1955 [HE1953, HE1954, HE1955. $19.99, your price $17.99 each]. These have not been collected in the new Omnibus series.

TWILIGHT ZONE Volume 2 The Way In
Closeout Price! Collects issues #5-8, 2014. Highly Recommended. By J. Michael Straczyinski. Art by Guiu Vilanova. Nothing special has ever happened to Diana Westby. She has a comfortable relationship, a decent job, and vague dreams for the future. But now she is suddenly able to hear people's thoughts and see glimpses of the future... a future that includes the threat of a mushroom cloud rising over downtown Manhattan! As someone who has never had to stick her neck out, Diana must choose between her own safety and the lives of millions of others. Excellent writing, we really enjoyed reading this and hope to see more. Stand-alone and a complete story, though it loosely ties into Volume 1. Dynamite, 2014...More.

We've never handled these two before, so I was pleased to see them turn up from one of the remainder book houses. And even more pleased to read them both. I think they are very good, and I like the narrator “voice” that echoes the commentary we always got from Rod Serling.

FASHION ILLUSTRATION IN BRITAIN
Society and the Seasons. Recommended. By Amber Jane Butchart. Right up to the roaring twenties and avante-garde pochoir illustrations. Before the invention of photography, the fashion-conscious public relied on illustrations in magazines to follow the latest developments in style and ensure they were dressed for High Society in every season. These illustrations became an art form in themselves, as key publications—and their taste-making illustrators—defined the looks of each era, featuring beautiful women--and some men--in the latest cutting-edge fashions.

COMIC SHOP The Retail Mavericks Who Gave Us A New Geek Culture Signed
Signed by Bud! Highly Recommended. By Dan Gearino. The early 1970s saw the birth of the modern comic book shop. Its unprecedented growth to thousand of stores was due in large part to a dynamic entrepreneur, Phil Seuling. His direct market model allowed shops to get comics straight from the publishers, bypassing middlemen. Stores could better customize their offerings and independent publishers could now access national distribution. And it opened up a space for quirky ideas to gain an audience and helped transform small-press series, from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to Bone, into media giants. Swallow, 2017...More.

THE 10 CENT WAR: Comic Books, Propaganda, and World War II
Recommended. Edited by Trischa Goodnow and James J. Kimble. How different types of comic books and characters supplied reasons and means to support the war effort. The contributors demonstrate that, free of government control, how effective these appeals were, while often racist and extreme. The book discusses the role of such major characters as Superman, Wonder Woman, and Uncle Sam along with a host of such minor characters as kid gangs and superhero sidekicks. It even considers novelty and small presses, providing a well-rounded look at the many ways that comic books served as popular propaganda. University Press of Mississippi, 2016...More.

New this week is an erotic photography collection: Saul Leiter: In My Room. Saul Leiter was an American photographer and painter whose early work in the 1940s and 1950s was an important contribution to what came to be recognized as the New York school of photography. Leiter worked as a fashion photographer and was published in Show, Elle, British Vogue, Queen, and Nova.

In the late 1950s the art director Henry Wolf published Leiter's color fashion work in Esquire and later in Harper's Bazaar. Here we have his intimate, informal photographs of lovers taken in his small New York apartment.
