P. CRAIG RUSSELL'S JUNGLE BOOK AND OTHER STORIES Fine Art Edition Highly Recommended. This 148-page Fine Art Edition includes the following complete Jungle Book stories: "The King's Ankus," " Red Dog" and "The Spring Running" plus three of Russell's most acclaimed early works: "Siegfried and the Dragon," "La Sonnambula and the City of Sleep" and "Breakdown on the Starship Remembrance." Includes artist's notes with background info on each of the stories as well as a bonus gallery featuring even more Jungle Book-related Russell art and covers. One of two matched editions from a new publisher. Wayne Alan Harold, 2018...More. Item Code: PJUNGH Hard Cover - No Dustjacket, 12x17, 148pg, b&w $125.00 |
 |
P. CRAIG RUSSELL'S SALOME AND OTHER STORIES Fine Art Edition Highly Recommended. The complete Salome (32 pages), The Clowns (Pagliacci) (34 pages), and Cavalleria Rusticana (The Godfather's Code) (33 pages). Plus artist's notes with background info on each story as well as a bonus gallery with additional art and preliminary drawings that relate to the complete stories. "Unto this World," his only story done in colored pencils; "Ein Heldentraum" (6 pages) by Hugo Wolf/Goethe; "Between Two Worlds" (3 pages), a musical piece by Eric Wolfgang Korngold; a 2010 Salome painting; two color pages from The Godfather's Code. Wayne Alan Harold, 2018...More. Item Code: PSALOH Hard Cover - No Dustjacket, 12x17, 134pg, Partial Color $125.00 |
Maybe I didn't give it enough attention, but I wasn't a huge fan of Russell's first Artist's Edition from IDW, which collects his work with Don McGregor on Marvel's Killraven and Doctor Strange. But these two collections, from an entirely new publisher, really knock me out. Perhaps it's because I saw and enjoyed this very early work by him as it appeared in the 1970s, some of which appeared in the fabled “underground” Star Reach, which I handled for many years. And judge for yourself P. Craig Russell's Strange Dreams [PRSAEH. $125]. |

JAMES CAWTHORN The Man and His Art Import from England. Recommended. By Maureen Cawthorn Bell. Edited by John Davey. Foreword by Alan Moore, Afterword by Michael Moorcock. Intended to be a modest memorial by Maureen Cawthorn Bell for her artist brother following his death in 2008, this grew into a heavyweight volume of 448 pages with 800 individual pieces of science fiction and fantasy art: book covers, illustrations for magazines and fanzines, private pieces for friends and relatives, and many sketches or preliminary works, most of which have never seen print before. From a career spanning more than fifty years, including the definitive Elric, The Jewel in the Skull (1978) and The Crystal and the Amulet (1986), the former being the U.K.'s first home-grown graphic novel.

FIGURES FROM LIFE Drawing with Style Highly Recommended. By Patrick J. Jones. Foreword by Julie Bell. An in-depth exploration of life drawing by a contempory master artist AND teacher—covering gesture, short and long poses, foreshortening and contrapposto, and more—and delves into its more challenging aspects: such as measuring with rhythm, drawing with feeling, and developing a style. Packed with step-by-step, all-new drawing demonstrations and insightful commentary, the book also includes Patrick's most recent anatomy and drawing study sheets, with gorgeous female nudes and more. Korero, 2018...More. Item Code: FIGFL Soft Cover, 9x11, 160pg, Partial Color |

An anecdote-peppered commentary by the artist runs alongside the artwork, along with exclusive contributions from fellow fantasy art luminaries. Korero, 2016. Mature Readers...More.

ALSO AVAILABLE SCI-FI & FANTASY OIL PAINTING TECHNIQUES Our Highest Recommendation. By Patrick J. Jones. Foreword by Boris Vallejo. One of the very finest how-to/art books we've offered! A unique, behind-the-scenes look at the creative process and artistic philosophy of one of the masters of Sci-Fi and Fantasy art, Patrick J. Jones. Influenced by Boris Vallejo and Frank Frazetta, he shares the secrets of painting Conan, mermaids, and other-worldly creatures, from initial pencil sketches to finished art--astonishingly finished, amazing pieces, I would add. Featuring detailed, step-by-step tutorials packed with information, advice, anecdotes, and professional tips and tricks, this is a must for any serious student of the genre--or any fantasy art fan. His work is AMAZING. IPG, 2014...More. Item Code: SCIOP Soft Cover, 9x11, 192pg, Full Color |
 |
ALSO AVAILABLE ANATOMY OF STYLE Figure Drawing Techniques Highly Recommended. By Patrick J. Jones. Once in a rare while, an art instruction book comes along that can be appreciated by anyone, no matter if you want to learn to draw or not. This applied to Jones's first book, Science Fiction and Fantasy Oil Painting Techniques and again here. He is an artist (and teacher) who creates superlative fantasy art and beautiful women. This is the inside story from pencil to finished piece. Koredo, 2016...More. Item Code: ANAST Soft Cover, 9x11, 160pg, Partial Color |
We really love his work, and so we keep available every one of his books published to date. All are recommended. If you are new to him, start with The Sci-Fi and Fantasy Art of Patrick J. Jones, which comes signed. I guarantee it'll knock you out, or send it back for a refund. |

BATMAN THE DARK KNIGHT Master Race By Frank Miller and Brian Azzarello. Art by Andy Kubert and Klaus Janson. One of the most highly anticipated sequels of all-time is finally here. In 1986, Frank Miller introduced his iconic take on Batman and changed the face of comics forever.

HERCULES ADVENTURES OF THE MAN-GOD Archive Collects #1-13, 1967-69. Recommended. By Joe Gill and Sam Glanzman. This poplar comic from publisher Charlton is collected for the first time! Joe Gill (Flash Gordon, House of Mystery) and Sam Glanzman (Our Army at War, Star Spangled War Stories, USS Stevens, Jungle Tales of Tarzan) brought this Roman hero/god to life, the son of Zeus in Roman mythology. Marvel also had their version of Hercules, appearing in Thor, but like Robin Hood, anyone could publish their own take on famous characters or legends of history. Glanzman is always a delight to read. Dark Horse, 2018...More. Item Code: HERCAH Hard Cover - No Dustjacket, 8x11, 240pg, Full Color |

ALSO AVAILABLE USS STEVENS The Collected Stories Closeout Price! Highly Recommended. By Sam Glanzman. Legendary Golden Age artist Sam Glanzman set many of his tales aboard the USS Stevens, the actual World War II destroyer on which he served. This full-color, hardcover treasury collects every single Stevens tale he ever published, more than 60 short adventures from Our Army at War, G. I. Combat, and other 1970s DC war comics as well as longer pieces from Marvel's 1986 revival of Savage Tales magazine and the more recent Joe Kubert Presents. Plus, this outstanding collection also includes the final, four-page story about the warship, newly written and illustrated by Glanzman himself. Dover, 2016...More. Item Code: UST Hard Cover, 7x10, 384pg, Full Color |
 |
ALSO AVAILABLE ATTU The Collected Volumes Closeout Price! By Sam Glanzman. A rebellious caveman, cast out by his mountain-dwelling tribe, finds adventure in the lowlands among giant tigers, dinosaurs, and visitors from another planet. Rendered in stark black-and-white by Sam Glanzman, the acclaimed creator of the U.S.S. Stevens stories, this gripping graphic novel collection combines prehistory, super-science, and time travel. Dover, 2016...More. Item Code: ATTUC Soft Cover, 8x11, 160pg, b&w |
I was saving these two new sale books for the upcoming Fall Clearance Sale, but with the new book just in, they must be included. These just went on sale from Calla/Dover Books. USS Stevens was a bestseller at the full price for many months. Glanzman just passed away a little more than a year ago, in 2017, one of the last of the early Golden Age creators. His career began in 1939, working for Funnies, Inc., and his first noted comic was Amazing Man from Centaur. He served on the U.S.S. Stevens in WWII and was discharged in 1946. |

BATMAN By Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale Omnibus 1993-2014. Massive!! Recommended. Together, these three works are considered some of the most acclaimed graphic novels ever created from one of the greatest creative partnerships ever. This collector's edition is a must-have for any fan of Loeb and Sale! Collects Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight Halloween Special #1, Batman Madness #1, Batman: Ghosts #1, Batman: The Long Halloween #1-13, Batman: Dark Victory #0-13, Catwoman: When in Rome #1-6, Superman/Batman Secret Files 2003, Superman/Batman #26 and SOLO #1.

FANTASTIC FOUR BY JOHN BYRNE Omnibus Volume 1 Fantastic Four #215-262 + much more, 1977-83. Recommended. By John Byrne, Chris Claremont et al. Art by Jack Kirby and Ron Wilson. If there is any run of FF that most closely recaptures the magic of Stan and Jack's first 100 issues, this is it for me! It was the world's greatest comic magazine -- again! Not since those hallowed issues had a creator so perfectly captured the classic sense of adventure of Marvel's First Family. Fresh off an earth-shattering and reputation-making run as penciler on Uncanny X-Men, John Byrne proved his writing talent was every bit the equal of his art as he pulled double-duty, including the classic players from Skrulls and Dr. Doom, to Subby and Galactus and the Silver Surfer. Marvel, 2018...More. Item Code: FFJOM01H Hard Cover - No Dustjacket, 1096pg, Full Color |
We have just one of these in stock, but expect our reorder to be here by Sept. 27. See all the massive new Omnibus collections on our website, from bargain-priced Conan and Hellboy, to the masterworks from DC and Marvel with Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, Kirby's Monsters and lots more. |

EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS AT THE EARTH'S CORE Recommended. Cover by Frank Frazetta. When publisher Chenault & Gray produced the highly acclaimed Edgar Rice Burroughs 100-Year Chronology set, as a bonus kickstarter project they created this.

ALSO AVAILABLE EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS 100 YEAR ART CHRONOLOGY Slipcase Set Standard Edition. Our Highest Recommendation. Four volumes present an illustrative history of all Burroughs' publications in the United States (and some from the U.K.). Written and compiled by Michael Tierney, the narrative gives the history of Burroughs' work and the often legendary artists who visualized it, featuring untold stories, art that hasn't been seen since its release, and pieces that were buried in the vaults from the beginning of his publishing history to the present day. Pulps, books, paintings, prints, comics...it's all here. Chenault & Gray, 2018...More. Item Code: ERB100D Hard Cover - No Dustjacket, 9x12, 1224pg, Partial Color $250.00 |

FAVOURITE FAIRY TALES BY JENNIE HARBOUR 2019 Calendar Highly Recommended. A handsome, oversized calendar with twelve delicate line drawings by Jennie Harbour, an underappreciated artist from the Golden Age of illustration. This was published as a labor of love by a dedicated fan. Probably not more than 100 copies, perhaps as few as 50, will be produced in all, and not readily available anywhere else. Harbour was a very skilled artist in her time, doing several fine children's books, but today she is known only to the most dedicated fans of the period. These plates are from three of her books: Hans Anderson's Stories, My Book of Mother Goose, and My Book of Favourite Fairy Tales, c.1921. Calligraphics, 2018...More.

RUBAIYAT of OMAR KHAYYAM JOHN BUCKLAND-WRIGHT 2019 Calendar Highly Recommended. A handsome, oversized calendar with twelve delicate line drawings by a widely popular illustrator of small edition, fine press books in the 1920s and 30s. These plates were done as copper engravings to illustrate the Golden Cockerel Press publication of Omar Khayyam's Rubaiyat, published in a total edition of 300 in 1938. This handsome, very limited ediition calendar was published as a labor of love by a dedicated fan. Probably not more than 100 copies, perhaps as few as 50, will be produced.

E.M. LILIEN ILLUSTRATIONS FOR THE BIBLE 2019 Calendar Recommended. A devoted art fan in the Bay Area has this year produced four fine, very high quality calendars featuring vintage artwork. Each is spiral bound, printed on very heavy stock, oversized, and enclosed in a handsome clear-view sleeve. This one features 12 fine black and white plates from Die Bucher Der Bibel, 1923, published in Berlin. I have a copy of his 1923 book Lieder des Ghetto in my collection, and have always enjoyed Lilien's work. His classical style reminds me of Charles Robinson and his brother Thomas Heath Robinson, circa 1890-1920. Calligraphics, 2018...More. Item Code: EML19 Wirebound, 13x19, 24pg, b&w $19.95 |
