DREAM DANCE The Art of Ed Emshwiller
Recommended. The first comphrehensive monograph on the entire career of Ed Emshwiller. He painted and drew hundreds of covers and interiors for sci-fi paperbacks and hardback books, including the Ace double-novels and pulps such as Planet Stories, Future Science Fiction, and Amazing Stories. He also created his own abstract expressionist paintings, ink drawings, and prints; and had several solo and group shows. In 1964 Emshwiller shifted his focus primarily to filmmaking, often collaborating with dancers. Notable films included Thanatopsis (1962), Relativity (1966), and Chrysalis (1973). This is about 2/3's sci-fi art, 1/3 stills and film-making. Some nudity. Anthology Editions, 2019...More. Item Code: DREDH Hard Cover, 8x10, 176pg, Partial Color $30.00 $26.99 |

EVERETT SHINN
1876-1953 A Figure in His Time By Edith Deshazo. Art by Everett Shinn. Everett Shinn (1876-1953) was an American realist painter and member of the Ashcan School.

He is best known for his robust paintings of urban life in New York and London, a hallmark of Ashcan art, and for his theater and residential murals and interior-design projects. His style varied considerably over the years, from gritty and realistic to decorative and rococo. He also worked as a set designer and art director in Hollywood. Shinn also illustrated a delightful series of books in the late 1930s, which brought him to the attention of fans of fine illustrated books. C. N. Potter, 1974. Out of Print..

CARL RENNER 1950s GM Dream Car Creator
Warehouse find, 2009. By Frederic A. Sharf. Carl Renner was one of the most important designers in the General Motors studios of the 1950s. While Harley Earl is given credit for the spectacular designs of this decade, it was men like Renner who really created the design details. Carl is most often associated today with the Corvette. However, he worked in many GM design studios in the 1950s and influenced a number of cars of that decade. This is the first biographical summary of his career at GM and the first book to illustrate the full range of his art. By Frederic A. Sharf, 2009. Out of Print....More.

News and Notes |
The Fantastic Paintings of Frank Frazetta I mentioned earlier that we expected to see a softcover of this, but we are now being told by publisher Vanguard, that there is no softcover in the works. My mistake. This will appear—at least until further notice--only as a deluxe slipcased edition with 16 bonus pages [FANPFD. $69.99] and a hardcover edition [FANPFH. $39.95]. Orders are strong, almost entirely for the deluxe edition. Get your reservation in for the earliest delivery, we expect these in May. This is the first new Frazetta book in quite some time. See more Frank Frazetta, including file copies of the Underwood limited editions, on our website.

The concluding part 2 has been announced, but because it's just $24.95 we are not yet taking backorders for it. It will include, exclusively to the direct market, a slipcase to fit both Vol 1 and 2. Volume 1 is available now [DOOM01H. $24.99, $21.99]. |

Diamond Comic Distributors and the comic stores will only be handling the regular edition [ROYOH. $30]. We still have copies of the deluxe slipcase signed edition [ROYOD. $75]. It's limited to 250 and highly recommended, with other bonus material. |
