Little Nemo Completed!

 
WINSOR MCCAY The Complete Little Nemo 1910-1927
Our Highest Recommendation. By Alexander Braun. This second volume collects, in glorious full color and superior resolution, all 329 of Nemo's escapades from 1910 to 1927. Through them, we delight not only in the splendor of Slumberland, a surreal benchmark, but also McCay's pioneering panel layout and storytelling techniques, his timing and pacing, and extraordinary architectural detail. Rarely collected before: 1910-11, then McCay's jump to a new publisher and new title, "In the Land of Wonderful Dreams," from 1911-14. Then the return of Nemo in proper strips from 1924-27. Huge and sturdy hardcover format, perfect to delight in these detailed masterpieces. Taschen, 2019...More.

THE COMPLETE LITTLE NEMO By Winsor McCay

The master creation of Winsor McCay (1869-1934), both the art and the wildly imaginative stories have inspired generations of artists. Here are those first weekly adventures from bed to Slumberland, a realm of colorful companions, psychedelic scenery, and thrilling escapades. Huge oversized edition, and the first 145 pages provide an illustrated introduction to McCay's career with Nemo and the first cartoons. Taschen, 2016...More.

The New Fantasy Art

 
SOIRÉE Art Collection of nekosuke
Highly Recommended. By nekosuke. nekosuke (her name is not capitalized) is one of the most popular illustrators on social media in Japan. Superb drawings of beautiful manga-style girls, anthropomorphic animals, fairies, and nudes have made the illustrator an instant internet sensation with more than 60,000 followers on Twitter. This book contains excerpted illustrations from nekosuke's first four Dojinshi (a self published magazine or publication that caters to a specific group of people) and also features original artworks. Moderate erotica and tasteful nudity. Beautifully rendered art. PIE, 2019. Mature Readers...More.

DESCANTS & CADENCES The Art of Stephanie Law Signed
Signed! Recommended. A new artist to us but one with superlative fantasy work and fine, fine technical skills. From fairies and beautiful fantasy women, to--really--the most amazing illustrations of insects such as bees and dragonflies we have seen. We can only compare this side of her work to the great E.J. Detmold, who could actually romanticize insects with his high level of skill at water color and capturing the exact moment of dynamics. Law does this also, along with excellent design and creativity.

MARVEL MONOGRAPH The Art of Humberto Ramos Spider-Man
Highly Recommended. Mexican artist Humberto Ramos is one of the most immediately recognizable and innovative talents in modern comic books. Seamlessly blending both Eastern and Western styles, Ramos has worked on many of Marvel's most iconic characters -- including Spider-Man, Wolverine and the X-Men -- as well as kinetic runs on the fan-favorite Runaways, and the next generation of heroes, The Champions!

LUCIFER Volume 1 The Infernal Comedy
7-page sketchbook bonus. Recommended. By Dan Waters and Neil Gaiman et al. Art by Max and Sebastian Fiumara et al. An all-new chapter in the saga of one of the Sandman Universe's most mesmerizing characters--and very well drawn. The Prince of Darkness is missing, and from the look of things he's not coming back. Blind, crippled, and without a penny to his name, the onetime ruler of Hell is now a wizened, unkempt old man trapped in a small town where sinister forces torment him at every turn and nothing is as it seems. He has no memory of how he got here, no hope of escape, and no way to track down his child--the only entity capable of preventing the end of the world. DC Vertigo, 2019...More.

JODOROWSKY'S & BOUÇQ'S TWISTED TALES
All new! By Alejandro Jodorowsky. Art by François Boucq. The playful collaboration of two masters of the medium, where the thoughts of one guided the hand of the other. The result is a unique blend of prose and graphic storytelling--Jodorosky's narrative on the left-hand page, and a full color rendition of each twisted tale on the right. And these are twisted all right. Dozens of short tales or even phrases or thoughts--of beauty and brutality, wisdom and humor. Boucq expands each in a visual reality. Some nudity, adult situations and general creepiness! Humanoids, 2019. Adult Material...More.

DeMatteis and a new bonus section featuring concept art and early notes from the creative team. A romantic, unreliable narrator leads us through his interplanetary coming-of-age story, as an older Moonshadow recounts his strange mixed-species birth in outer space, his escape from a deep-space zoo, and his struggles to survive in a war-torn universe.

WATCHMEN
New edition. 28 pages of bonus material. Our Highest Recommendation. By Alan Moore. Art by Dave Gibbons. This edition of Watchmen, the groundbreaking series from Alan Moore, the award-winning writer of V For Vendetta and Batman: The Killing Joke, features art from industry legend Dave Gibbons, with the high-quality, recolored pages found in Watchmen: Absolute Edition.

THE ART OF MAGIC 2020 Calendar
Vintage Magician Posters. Recommended.

GOLDEN AGE MARVEL COMICS OMNIBUS Volume 1

DC announced a similar project, Detective #1-26, then cancelled it before we began taking orders. It's not that I expect Marvel to bail out too, but I suggest we support this from the get-go. I placed a big order for Detective, and I'll do the same for this. It's a great opportunity to see these seminal comics in their entirety. As always, use your charge card and you will not be billed until the day the book ships from us to you.

For ten years, from October 1970 when Roy and artist Barry Smith assembled the first issue of Marvel's Conan the Barbarian, to October 1980 when Roy and artist John Buscema completed their last issue together on the series, Thomas wrote of Conan's gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth—as well as the wars, the wenches, and the wizardry that bedeviled the Cimmerian from one issue to the next.

Two new DVDs this week. First is Jess Franco's classic, Justine, co-starring Jack Palance, Akim Tamiroff, Maria Rohm and Klaus Kinski as the Marquis de Sade. “One of the most lavish and bizarre erotic shockers” by this notorious director.” “...wanton nudity, sexual perversion and an all-star cast.”

Also here is Eugenie...the story of her journey into perversion, also starring Maria Rohm (Justine), Marie Liljedahl and, get this, Christopher Lee! Both of these have adult themes and nudity, but are less graphic than today's R-rated films.
