MIDDLE-EARTH Journeys in Myth and Legend Our Highest Recommendation. By Donato Giancola. Nearly 200 stunningly realistic paintings and the inspired and highly detailed drawings and studies that led to them. The greatest fantasy epic of all time comes to life. Classical realism unites with contemporary storytelling as artist Donato Giancola explores the mythic grandeur and the iconic characters of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion. Introduction by Ted Naismith. Oversized, dramatic, a simply gorgeous volume. Dark Horse, 2019...More.

PLAYING SOLDIER The Books and Toys That Prepared Children For War 1871-1918 Our Highest Recommendation. By Richard Cheek. Published to accompany an exhibition at the Grolier Club, September 12-October 27, 2018. A massive and comprehensive survey of the books, printed ephemera, and toys relating to military life and wartime experience that were produced for children and teens during two consecutive but dramatically different periods: first, the era from the end of the Franco-Prussian War in 1871 until the outbreak of the Great War in 1914; and second, the 51 months of fighting that comprised "the war to end all wars."

EDWARD BURNE-JONES Highly Recommended. Edited by Alison Smith. The last of the Pre-Raphaelites, Edward Burne-Jones created work synonymous with a refined and spiritualized style of beauty. This book is published to accompany a major retrospective at Tate Britain, London, showcasing 150 works in different media, including pencil drawings, painting, stained glass, and tapestry. 200 color illustrations. Burne-Jones (1833–1898) became a key figure in the art world at the end of the 19th century and a pioneer of the symbolist movement. Outstanding variety of material, some never before collected. Nudity. Tate, 2019...More. Item Code: EDBURH Hard Cover - No Dustjacket, 9x11, 224pg, Full Color $55.00 |
 |
ALSO AVAILABLE LAWRENCE ALMA-TADEMA At Home in Antiquity Highly Recommended. Edited by Elizabeth Prettejohn and Peter Trippi. Lawrence Alma-Tadema's paintings were immensely popular among his contemporaries, and have since enchanted a wide audience through the medium of cinema. Anyone who has ever enjoyed the great epic films—from Italian silent classics to Cecil B. Demille to Ridley Scott's Gladiator—will instantly recognize their origins in sets and costumes Alma-Tadema invented. Accompanied by glowing reproductions of the artist's rich and detailed works, this book boldly re-assesses Alma-Tadema's art. Prestel, 2016...More. Item Code: LAWWAH Hard Cover - No Dustjacket, 10x12, 240pg, Full Color |
 |
ALSO AVAILABLE FRANK DICKSEE 1853-1928 His Art and Life Highly Recommended. By Simon Toll. Victorian painter and illustrator Frank Dicksee gets the full treatment, a history of his life and works with a catalog raisonné, many pictures previously unpublished. He was born with the first wave of Pre-Raphaelitism and he inherited the romantic spirit of the movement. If you like the work of fellow PRB members Waterhouse and Watts, this is your painter. Knights, beautiful ladies, mythology, in wonderfully detailed oil paintings. He became one of the most popular artists of the late 19th-century, painting in a sumptuous and dramatic style. Antique Collectors Club, 2016...More. Item Code: FRADH Hard Cover, 8x12, 240pg, Full Color $95.00 |
 |
ALSO AVAILABLE THE ART OF GF WATTS Highly Recommended. By Nicholas Tromans. Published to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the birth of G.F. Watts (1817-1904),this book provides a lively and engaging introduction to one of the most charismatic figures in the history of British art during the Victorian era. Covering all aspects of Watts's career, it places him at the center of the visual culture of the 19th century. PHP, 2017...More. Item Code: ARTGF Soft Cover, 7x10, 136pg, Text/Full Color $30.00 |
 |
ALSO AVAILABLE J.W. GODWARD 1861-1922 The Eclipse of Classicism New Revised Edition. Highly Recommended. By Vern G. Swanson. Art by J.W. Godward. John William Godward (1861-1922) was among the brightest stars of the late Graeco-Roman painters during classicism's twilight years. Some believe he equalled Alma-Tadema in his depiction of marble and flowers and Frederic Leighton in his depiction of drapery. I like to compare him to Maxfield Parrish, since he also discovered the value of appealing young women, nude or partially clothed. That became a favorite subject for him, as it did for Parrish a generation later. Acc Art Books, 2018...More. Item Code: JWGODH Hard Cover, 9x12, 368pg, Full Color $95.00 |
 |
ALSO AVAILABLE FORD MADOX BROWN Pre-Raphaelite Pioneer Closeout Price! A massive volume. Recommended. By Julian Treuherz. Ford Madox Brown had already pioneered a style of painting which came to be known as Pre-Raphaelite before the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was founded in 1848. His beautifully observed landscapes anticipated the open-air effects of the Impressionists. His art was anti-academic, rejecting easy solutions, prettiness, and conventional Victorian formulae. He depicted children without sentimentality and poor people without condescension. This major monograph provides a general introduction to Brown's art based on new research; all of his important paintings are included, and each one is illustrated and described. Philip Wilson Publishing, 2011. Out of Print....More. Item Code: FORDH Hard Cover, 8x11, 336pg, Full Color |

WAR BEARS Collects #1-3, 2018-19. Highly Recommended. By Margaret Atwood and Ken Steacy. Art by Ken Steacy. From the Booker Prize-winning author of The Handmaid's Tale, comes this historical fiction graphic novel tracing the Golden Age of Canadian comic books. Oursonette, a fictional Nazi-fighting superheroine, is created at the peak of World War II by comic book creator Al Zurakowski who dreams of making it big in the early world of comics publishing. The story very accurately follows the early days of creating original comics in Toronto after the WECA shut down importation of American comics. And it also portrays a brutal war that greatly strains the artist Al personally and professionally. Dark Horse, 2019...More. Item Code: WARBEH Hard Cover - No Dustjacket, 7x11, 104pg, Full Color |
Also by Atwood is Angel Catbird [COMAC. See our website for other Canadian Whites/WECA collections: WECA Priceguide [WECPG. $35.00] – two left Johnny Canuck [JOCAHR. $24.95] – two left Brok Windsor [BROKH. $24.95] - eight left Wow Comics #1 [WOWC01. $15.00] – seven left Polka Dot Pirate [POLDP. $10.00] – five left Most of these are out of print, so this is your last chance from us.

WORMWORLD SAGA Volume 2 The Shelter of Hope Recommended. By Daniel Lieske. In the second volume of The Wormworld Saga, Jonas discovers there's just as much danger as there is beauty in this fantasy world. When he begins to realize his arrival in the Wormworld might be no accident at all, will he be able to face his own destiny to meet the sinister fire god Unurtha? Plus a special prequel story. We like this series, it's very much in animation style, with some lovely settings of cities and castles, and a fun young hero with his only friend a lovely young lady who's leaving him to learn the ropes, so to speak. The Lion Forge, 2018...More. Item Code: WORS02 Soft Cover, 6x9, 128pg, Full Color $9.99 |
Volume 1 is still available – I personally find this charming, a great all-ages book. |

When will that proximity to a dark and violent world take its ultimate toll? And what effect will his lover's loss have on the driven and brooding Master of Darkness?

Recommended. By David Avallone. Art by Colton Worley. Between cultists, creeps, spies, mind-control rays, flying saucers and the LAPD, Bettie has had just about enough of everyone's crap. Watch out, Hollywood. Now you've made her mad. David Avallone and Colton Worley continue to help Bettie work through her issues, in The Secret Diary of Bettie Page, Chapter Three. Bettie's more secret agent than pin-up girl here...did you know she can fly a helicopter? And handle the bad boys with karate kicks and aplomb!

SGT. FURY EPIC COLLECTION Volume 1 The Howling Commandos Collects #1-19, 1963-65. Highly Recommended. By Stan Lee. Art by Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers. From the heart of the Silver Age and the first days of the Marvel Age, Stan, Jack and Dick Ayers bring you the very first World War II adventures of Sgt. Nick Fury! These creative titans took the Marvel method and applied it to the combat genre, thanks in part to Jack's own experience on the frontlines in WWII. They created the "war comic for people who hate war comics." The Howling Commandos were an instant hit and would even inspire filmmaker Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds. Fury of course would go on to Steranko's Agent of Shield series as well as numerous Marvel film appearances! Marvel, 2019...More. Item Code: SGTE01 Soft Cover, 7X10, 448PG, Full Color |

As the twentieth century approaches, there is a need for a new kind of champion -- adventurers not bound by the chaste order that characterizes the Victorian Era. The enigmatic Campion Bond of British Intelligence has begun a recruiting mission.

SILVER AGE CLASSICS TALES OF THE MYSTERIOUS TRAVELER Volume 2 Collects #6-10,1957-58. Highly Recommended. By Steve Ditko, Rocco Mastroserio et al. Courtesy of the Traveler's creator, Steve Ditko, this title beats pretty much everything else on the spinner racks 1957/8. What it may have lacked in big budgets, the Mysterious Traveler made up for with sheer class, style and charm. Ditko does as many as 4 stories in an issue, so he's well represented. This was clear inspiration to Marvel's hugely popular Amazing Adult Fantasy, written for the thinking reader. Also with art by Maurice Whitman, Bill Molno, Rocco Mastroserio, Paul Reinman and Charles Nicholas. PS Artbooks, 2018...More. Item Code: SATM02H Hard Cover - No Dustjacket, 7x10, 184pg, Full Color $44.99 |

PRE-CODE CLASSICS Hand of Fate Volume 2 Collects #13-17, 1952-53. Recommended. By Ken Rice. Art by Lin Streeter, Ken Rice et al. More pulp style pre-Code yarns.

DC stalwart Mike Sekowsky has a story in EVERY issue; Lou Cameron puts in at least one appearance, Lin Streeter, Ken Rice, Louis Zansky, Jim McLaughlin, Ace Baker, Bill Molno, Frank Giusto, and Dick Beck all do wild and crazy stories.

PRE-CODE CLASSICS WEB OF MYSTERY Volume 5 Collects #25-29, 1954-55. Highly Recommended. Art by Jim McLaughlin, Ken Rice, Lou Cameron et al. Pre-code horror by Bill Discount offers up Alex Toth-inspired art, and Rudy Palais puts in an appearance, albeit a reprint. In fact, #28 and #29 are all reprints from other Ace titles. Mike Sekowsky is also here. On the other hand, we are treated to three all-new great stories by Lou Cameron from his best period, right at the end of Ace's tenure--"Mission of Lost Souls" is a wonderful example of his finest work, packed with bizarre creatures, and "One Door from Disaster" is done in tones, looking like Al Williamson and Frazetta! PS Artbooks, 2019...More. Item Code: PCW05H Hard Cover - No Dustjacket, 7x10, 184pg, Full Color $44.99 |
Volume 4 [$54.99] is expected momentarily; it's en route to us now. Volumes 1-2 are in stock at $49.99, Vol 3 is $54.99. |

PRE-CODE CLASSICS TALES OF HORROR Volume 2 Collects #5-9, 1953-54. Recommended. Art by Bernard Baily, Ross Andru, Jack Sparling, Frank Giacoia et al. Toby Press, which also used the imprint Minoan, found fame (of a sort) by getting their knuckles rapped by EC for using Gaines & Co.'s title "Tales of Terror." But they didn't need to pilfer from others with Tales of Horror, the (retitled) magazine's noteworthy homage to the likes of prose stylist John Collier. Art by the above plus Moe Marcus, Ben Brown, Rocco Mastroserio, Mel Keefer, Howard Rosenberger, Bill Molno and George Olesen. Issue #9 reprints the very weird Purple Claw #1. PS Artbooks, 2019...More. Item Code: PCCT02H Hard Cover - No Dustjacket, 7x10, 184pg, Full Color $44.99 |

PRE-CODE CLASSICS BAFFLING MYSTERIES Volume 3 Collects #15-19, 1953-54. Highly Recommended. By Lou Cameron, Jim McLaughlin, Charles Nicholas et al. More unusual horror stories from Ace. Highlighted here are at least four killer Lou Cameron stories from his best period, with details and unique layout to rival Frazetta during the same time! His best work is in these "later" Ace issues. Jim McLaughlin is another neglected talent who, until recently, even I'd overlooked, but his work here is often as good as Cameron's. Also here are Charles Nicholas, Lin Streeter, Louis Zansky, Ken Rice, Dick Beck, Marvel's own Al Hartley, Sy Grudko, and Ace Baker, the nom de plume for the unknown artist who emulated Matt Baker's style. PS Artbooks, 2019...More. Item Code: PCBM03H Hard Cover - No Dustjacket, 7x10, 184pg, Full Color $44.99 |

Publisher Ziff Davis's overlooked Crime Clinic offers more outstanding comics work. Ziff paid more than anyone else at that time, and they got the best writers and artists on their staff. This includes some superb art by John Prentice (Rip Kirby) on the offbeat "Dr. Tom Rogers, Prison Psychiatrist," a feature with two stories in most issues. Also includes artwork by Bill Molno, Vic Martin, Joe Genovese, the outstanding and barely known Mike Suchorsky, Irv Novick, Arthur Peddy, and Frank Kramer. #4 is a SOTI issue.

CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED #7 Les Miserables Originally published as CI #9, but newly drawn in 1961. By Victor Hugo. Art by Norman Nodel. Victor Hugo's novel of early 19th-century France and the June Rebellion, as told through the experiences of the ex-convict, Jean Valjean. And more recently made into a brilliant Broadway play. First done as one of the earliest CI issues in 1943, this was entirely redone in 1963 with a new cover and artwork, and went out of print in 1968.

CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED #54 The Adventures of Tom Sawyer First published as CI #50, newly drawn in 1957. By Mark Twain. Art by Aldo Rubano. Mark Twain's classic tale of Tom Sawyer and his friends, with murder, intrigue and hidden treasure to boot! The first Classics edition came out in 1948, but this got a new painted cover and new inside artwork in 1957. The artist credit is unclear, so this is our best guess.

The adventures of the Trojan hero Aeneas, who travelled to Italy, where he became the ancestor of the Romans. The story of Aeneas's wanderings from Troy to Italy, and the Trojans' ultimately victorious war. Virgil took the disconnected tales of Aeneas's wanderings and fashioned a compelling founding myth that tied Rome to the legends of Troy, explained the Punic Wars, glorified traditional Roman virtues, and legitimized the Julio-Claudian dynasty as descendants of the founders, heroes, and gods of Rome and Troy.
