Roger Hill’s EC Fan-Addict #4, Zoologia, Four cover variations of Detective #1000, Several good new graphic novels and Spectrums on sale!

Roger Hill's EC Fan-Addict #4 is in, with all kinds of fun articles. Zoologia is packed with brilliant, totally unique creature designs. We have four cover variations of the popular Detective #1000 and it's really a sharp issue, even if you haven't read a Batman comic in years.

Several good new graphic novels this week, my favorite is Out of the Blue by Garth Ennis and Keith Burns; I just began reading Mata Hari so jury's out on this but artistically it's good. The Marvel Universe exhibit catalog is a very nice surprise, with lots of cool rarities, interviews and articles by famous folks. And we have four Spectrums in an exclusive sale, they've been tucked away at a publisher warehouse for many years.

A new issue of this classic zine is a rare event...in this case, three years since the last issue. I love ‘em, and I find most veteran fans do also. Here's the other two available issues. We are one of the very few sources for these.

Click on this to see five pictures I took personally of the Wally Wood Diorama, the subject of one of the articles in this new issue. I first saw this at the OAF show in October 2016, and snapped these. Been showing them to friends ever since. We posted these on Facebook Wednesday and already are getting quite a buzz. Here's a link to us on Facebook.

Graphic Novels

 
MATA HARI The Untold Story of the Original Femme Fatale
"...visually lush, emotionally rich..." -Kelly Sue DeConnick Recommended. By Emma Beeby. Art by Ariela Kristantina, Pat Masioni et al. Dancer. Courtesan. Spy. Executed by a French firing squad in 1917. Questions are still raised about her conviction. Now, the lesser-known, often tragic story of the woman who claimed she was born a princess, and died a figure of public hatred, told by break-out talent writer Emma Beeby (Judge Dredd), artist Ariela Kristantina (Insexts), drawing on biographies and released MI5 files. We meet Mata Hari in prison as she writes her memoir—part romantic tale of a Javanese princess who performed “sacred” nude dances for Europe's elite, and part real-life saga of a disgraced wife and mother, who has everything she loves taken from her.

The making of Freaks and Schlitzie’s role in the film are central here. Bill Griffith has tracked down primary sources and archives throughout the country, including conducting interviews with those who worked with him and had intimate knowledge of his personality, his likes and dislikes, how he responded to being a sideshow “freak,” and much more.

OUT OF THE BLUE Volume 1
Highly Recommended. By Garth Ennis. Art by Keith Burns...skies black with flak and enemy fighters, nail-biting low-level action, and the dark humor of men whose lives can be snatched away at any second. The war is almost over, but no one seems to have told the Germans. Royal Air Force pilot Jamie McKenzie is assigned to deadly shipping strikes along the enemy coast.  Flying the Mosquito fighter-bomber against heavily armed targets is dangerous enough--but after incurring the wrath of his commanding officer, Jamie is assigned the most unpopular navigator and the least reliable aircraft. Worse still, the commander's sights are firmly set on Jamie's beautiful young wife, Beth. Aftershock, 2019...More.

News and Notes

 

Sanjulian sold out

Last week this turned out to be the absolute fastest selling book that I ever remember handling. We brought in just under 100 of the soft and hardcover, and the hardcovers were gone in less than 24 hours, by Friday, and the softcovers were gone by Monday. There is a tiny chance we might get a few more, but it's unlikely. The publisher turned down Diamond Comics' order, so besides Kickstarter, we were one of the only sources for the book. I am pleading with the publisher, Steve Morger of Big Wow, to reprint this.


I expect a LOT more people would like to see it. Like other quickly sold out books, The Art of Reed Crandall and Sky Masters: The Complete Sundays, this also deserves to be seen by far more people. Sadly, our newsletter people, who depend on a printed version of this weekly email, missed out entirely on this, since internet folks by default get first shot. Stay tuned, maybe the publisher will make it work for another edition.
