SALLY THE SLEUTH 1934-1953 Special Colour Edition with bonus pages. Highly Recommended. By Adolphe Barreaux. Foreword by Tim Hanley. From DC Comics' secret history. A fascinating new collection of Sally the Sleuth adventures culled from both comics and pulps published by Trojan, a silent arm of Donenfeld's DC Comics in the 1940s and early 50s. With 100 pages in full color! Sally the Sleuth was one of the naughtiest heroines of the golden age. She started in two- and four-page black & white "comic strips" in 1934-43 issues of Spicy Detective Stories, one of the most risque under-the-counter pulps. This collects 65 of those. Then she moved into slightly less sexy but still scandalous comic book stories in Crime Smashers #1-15, all of which are here, right up to 1953. Bedside Press, 2018...More.

This time around, we find Lisbeth preparing to hack a gigantic data center and expose the Swedish secret service's secret files. Unfortunately, nothing is simple, and Lisbeth once again finds herself in need of Mikael Blomkvist's help when her friend Trinity is kidnapped. In a world of conspiracy and mistrust, their investigation soon leads them to the obscure group known only as "Sparta"... Titan Comics, 2019. Mature Readers...More.

CICADA Recommended. By Shaun Tan. A new picture book, for all ages, from the New York Times bestselling author of The Arrival. Cicada tells the story of a hardworking little cicada who is completely unappreciated for what he does. He works in an office but clearly doesn't fit in well with his tiny size and his appetite for green leaves! But in the end, just when you think he's given up, he makes a transformation into something ineffably beautiful. A metaphor for growing up? A bit of inspiration for the unappreciated striver in all of us? Yes, yes, and more. Embossed cover. Athur A. Levine, 2019...More. Item Code: CICAH Hard Cover, 7x10, 32pg, Full Color $19.99 |

FADEAWAY The Remarkable Imagery of Coles Phillips Highly Recommended. Introduction by Scott M. Fischer. Coles Phillips (1880–1927) was among the most in-demand illustrators in his field during the 1910s and 20s. A dynamic and highly skilled watercolor artist and draftsman, Phillips created dozens of covers for mainstream American magazines, including Good Housekeeping, Life, and The Saturday Evening Post. This original compilation features more than 80 color plates selected from two of Phillips' early collections, A Gallery of Girls and A Young Man's Fancy, in addition to images from other sources. In 1908 he created his famous "Fade Away Girl," for which he is still most remembered. Dover, 2019...More. Item Code: FADEA Soft Cover, 8x11, 96pg, Full Color |

The Art of Magic! |
|
 |
THE MAGIC BOOK Highly Recommended. By Mike Caveney and Jim Steinmeyer. Edited by Noel Daniel. An amazing 850 rarely seen vintage posters, photographs, handbills, and engravings as well as paintings by Hieronymus Bosch and Caravaggio among others, The Big Book of Magic traces the history of magic as a performing art. Combining sensational images with incisive text, the book explores the evolution of the magician's craft, from medieval street performers to the brilliant stage magicians who gave rise to cinematic special effects; from the 19th century's Golden Age of Magic to groundbreaking daredevils like Houdini and the early 20th century's vaudevillians. Giant edition, in a slipcase. Taschen, 2018...More. Item Code: MAGIH Hard Cover, 7x10, 544pg, Full Color $35.00 |
This began as a deluxe $200 collection, then was done in a smaller format for $70, and now its available once again at a new even-lower price. All previous editions are sold out. It's a great book, it's so popular Taschen also did a calendar and a postcard set of the images. |
 |
ALSO AVAILABLE MANDRAKE THE MAGICIAN SUNDAYS Volume 1 1935-1937. The Hidden Kingdom of Murderers. Highly Recommended. By Lee Falk and Phil Davis. This unusual strip was the first to feature a magician. Unlike other adventurers, Mandrake used his illusionist skills and his head, rather than his fists. Artist Phil Davis's work is as good as Alex Raymond's from the same period, exhibiting a fine-line brush and beautiful girls as good as the master. I'm very excited to finally have this long-overdue collection of a superior, oft-neglected classic. Titan, 2016...More. Item Code: MMS01H Hard Cover - No Dustjacket, 9x12, 160pg, Full Color |
Mandrake also has a 1930s Dailies Volume 1 [MAMD01H. |
Lone Sloane by Druillet |
|
 |
LONE SLOANE SALAMMBO Recommended. By Gustave Flaubert and Philippe Druillet. In the third century BC, mercenaries of Carthage rose against their rulers. And two barbarian clan chiefs, Matho and Narr'Havas, fell in love with the beautiful and ethereal Salammbo, daughter of Hamilcar of Carthage. Based on the 19th century novel by Flaubert, Salammbo is appropriated and recontextualised by Druillet in this masterwork of psychedelic metaphysical panorama. Mad battles and demonic warriors transpose the Punic Wars into Druillet's space fantasy universe. Oversized and lengthy. Titan Comics, 2018...More. Item Code: SALAMH Hard Cover - No Dustjacket, 9x12, 186pg, Full Color |

This is both Philippe Druillet's first appearance in print, and the first of Lone Sloane--it is in French and printed in two colors, much like Barbarella. This scarce hardcover was published in 1966. Lone Sloane was then serialized in the French/Belgian magazine Pilot from February 1970 to April 1971, collected in further French editions, then revamped by the author for Metal Hurlant magazine and ultimately done in English years later.

THE COMPLETE CHESTER GOULD'S DICK TRACY Volume 25 Dailies & Sundays, 1969-70. Recommended. By Chester Gould.

Soon Tracy learns that an international crime syndicate, the Apparatus, has infiltrated Smith's organization on the lunar surface. Determined to expand its nefarious empire, the Apparatus snares Dick and Tess Tracy, leaving them caught in one of the most frightening death traps in the history of the series--leaving Tracy blind, with the killers still after him! Tracy then meets Tinky, a young blind girl who will play a key role throughout the 1970s. IDW, 2018...More. Item Code: CC25H Hard Cover, 11x9, 296pg, b&w |

STEVE CANYON Volume 9 1963-64 Contraband Cargo. Dailies and Sundays. Recommended. By Milton Caniff. Six white horses laid a President to rest as a nation wept, but Milton Caniff knew that a man—and a nation—must carry on. In these stories from 1963-64, the globetrotting Steve Canyon foils diabolical enemy plots in half a dozen countries. Steve goes undercover in Turkey, tries not to get clawed by his old "friend" Cheetah during an encounter in western Mexico, and tackles a communist plot in Africa. And after being embroiled in a royal family feud in the fictional kingdom of Mahnay, Canyon has his first brush with military action in Vietnam! IDW, 2018...More.

WHAT IF? CLASSIC The Complete Collection Volume 1 Collects What If? #1-12, 1977. Recommended. By Roy Thomas, Jim Shooter, Jack Kirby et al. The first twelve issues of the most awesomely off-beat series of all time. DC had their Imaginary Stories and Marvel was always quick to use a good idea. Twelve titanic tales like What if Spider-Man Joined the Fantastic Four? What if the Fantastic Four had Different Super-Powers? Daredevil's secret exposed? The identity of Thor passed down to another? A new Hulk? Multiple Spider-Men? Some of the ideas that shook Marvel's foundation got their start right in the realm of remote possibility overseen by the wondering Watcher! Marvel, 2018...More.
