ROBERT FAWCETT THE ILLUSTRATOR'S ILLUSTRATOR
Publisher File Copy. Highly Recommended. By David Apatoff. Introduction by Walt Reed. If Alex Toth was a magazine illustrator, his name would be Robert Fawcett. Known by his peers as "The illustrator's illustrator," here are more than a hundred color illustrations and numerous black and white drawings. These are images which have long been out of circulation and are largely unavailable today. Many of the images from the book were made from the originals, which have been hidden away for decades by private collectors. Twelve Fawcett Sherlock Holmes illustrations are together in one book for the first time, some taken from the original paintings. Auad, 2010. Out of Print....More. Item Code: ROBFH Hard Cover, 9x12, 182pg, Partial Color $200.00 |
This is his most in-demand book, long scarce and hard to find. We have just nine copies. |

This is one of the best Sunday adventure strips you will ever see. Classic Comics Press, 2018...More. Item Code: WARTH Hard Cover, 9x12, 368pg, Full Color $100.00 $45.00 |

In 1973 DC brought back one of comics' most popular heroes: Captain Marvel -- who had to become Shazam after Marvel trade-marked the CM name. His Golden Age adventures sold in the millions of copies, so guided by his original artist, C.C. Beck, they brought back a new and original spin on superheroes with these humor-tinged adventures.

KULL II Portfolio
Warehouse find, 1977. Signed by John, numbered & limited, 1500! Highly Recommended. By Marie and John Severin. Contains seven black and white original prints done specifically for this, the first signed & numbered. All of the prints are in an illustrated folder inside an illustrated envelope. Includes certificate of authenticity, numbered and dated. This publisher kicked off the portfolio "boom" in the late 1970s, and this is one of their best efforts, done while John and Marie were doing the Marvel Comics Kull series. Beautiful work. Envelope has the number in pencil, and its corners are lightly bumped, with slight discoloration on the very edges. The portfolio itself is as new. Middle Earth, 1977...More. Item Code: KULL02 11x16, 7 prints, b&w $125.00 |
 |
ALFREDO ALCALA'S VOLTAR Portfolio Warehouse find, 1979. Signed, numbered & limited, 1000. Recommended. Voltar was a comic book character created, written, and illustrated by Filipino illustrator Alfredo Alcala in 1963. Voltar was first published in the United States in 1977 in Magic Carpet #1 [[published by my retail stores, Comics & Comix]. Alcala was probably best known for his work on Marvel Comics' black & white magazine Savage Sword of Conan. This was done during the explosion of signed/limited portfolios during this time, and is quite nice, with six plates loose in a handsome slipcover, the first plate signed. Schanes & Schanes, 1979...More. Item Code: AVOLT 11x16, 6 prints, b&w $90.00 |

This portfolio was released in a deluxe wooden boxed edition of 99 (priced at $300) and in a paper folder "Workingman's Edition" of 400 (priced at $80). This set has the wooden box, and the paper folder. The signed plate is #50/99. icollector.com reports selling a copy of this for $4000 in 2006. Kitchen Sink Press, 1997. Out of Print.. Very Fine. The only flaw is the bottom of the paper folder is slightly damaged where the metal eyelet has pushed through. This has not affected the plates....More.

Publisher/Distributor/Coronaviris News Diamond Comics is still not shipping new product as I write this. This is only affecting a handful of titles for us, for instance those from Dynamite and Image. And it only affects new items, we just got a large batch of reordered items from them. Our Marvel, DC, Dark Horse, IDW and other products come from book distributors or direct from the publisher. ERB Inc was closed but just got a shipment out, so we have the new ERB books back in stock. Flesk Publishing is also going to get a shipment out to us, including a couple of exclusive new items, as yet not announced. We also may have a reorder coming from Adult Video producer CAV.

Expect Shipment Delays Not everyone, but some customers are finding our shipments are taking longer than normal to get to them. Although the Post Office is supposedly working as normal, you can imagine they have their own problems during this time. So expect orders could take slightly longer than normal, especially you folks overseas, since there are fewer planes available for your order to go out on. ~Bud |
