DALI The Paintings
By Robert Descharnes and Gilles Neret. Art by Salvador Dali. This weighty volume is the most complete study of Dalí's painted works ever published. After years of research, the authors located paintings by the master that had been inaccessible for years--so many, in fact, that almost half the featured illustrations appear in public for the first time in this book. More than a catalogue raisonné, this book contextualizes Dalí's oeuvre and its meanings by examining contemporary documents, from writings and drawings to material from other facets of his work, including ballet, cinema, fashion, advertising, and objets d'art. Taschen, 2020...More.

Item Code: DALIPH
Hard Cover, 9x10, 752pg, Partial Color

WALTER SIMONSON'S The Mighty Thor Artisan Edition
The Mighty Thor #337-340 and 360-362. Recommended. Presenting two classic story arcs from his career-defining run on Thor, introducing Beta-Ray Bill. Each page has been scanned from the original art in Walter Simonson's personal archives, insuring that these complete stories are presented as closely as possible to the actual hand-drawn artwork. While appearing to be in black and white, these pages have been meticulously scanned in color so all the subtle nuances of the art are clearly visible, from blue pencil notations, gradients in the ink, plus more--all those wonderful things that make original art unique. IDW, 2020...More.

RONIN ISLAND Volume 2 For the Island
Recommended. By Greg Pak. Art by Giannis Milonogiannis. Kenichi and Hana gew up together but at the far ends of town--elite and peasant. Now they are both samurai warriors, of a sort, though Hana is a tomboy who scarcely acts like a girl. They are fighting both an invasion of monsters plus a crazed Shogun who wants to harness the creatures to create his own private army...as insane an idea as it sounds. And both are trying to protect the island from which they came, and save it from either invader? After their harrowing journey to the mainland to reason with the Shogun's forces, young Hana and Kenichi have been separated, forced to find their own ways back to the Island... Boom!, 2020...More.

Fantagraphics Sale Part 1

 
We have 18 Fantagraphics titles now on sale. We'll be listing the others in the next two weeks' emails. Click on the banner above and catch any more we've gotten online, it was too many to do all at once. We begin with my very favorite, and my second very favorite, out of all of the titles:
FROM SHADOW TO LIGHT The Life And Art of Mort Meskin
Closeout Price! Our Highest Recommendation. By Steven Brower. Part coffee-table art book, part investigative biography, this studies Meskin's career from the Golden Age of Comics to his advertising and fine art done near the end of his life. Hugely influential but still obscure to most fans, Meskin profoundly influenced artists like Jim Steranko, Joe Kubert, Alex Toth, Steve Ditko and Jack Kirby. He shared a studio and some of his best strips with Batman artist Jerry Robinson. He was first to draw Sheena of the Jungle, he created The Vigilante and Johnny Quick, and did brilliant work on both of these DC heroes, as well illustrated here. Fantagraphics, 2010...More.

Item Code: FROSH
Hard Cover, 10x13, 220pg, Full Color
$39.99 $19.99

We're also bringing back into stock the 2012 companion book for this, with complete stories, also compiled by Steven Brower, Out of the Shadows [OUTSHA. $26.99, $23.99]. You can order it anytime; we should have copies by June 1.

 
ALSO AVAILABLE
COMICS AD MEN
Highly Recommended. By Steven Brower. Art by Jack Davis, John Romita, Neal Adams, Lou Fine and dozens more.

Collected now for the first time, the comics, cartoons, and illustrations from the other career of illustrious comics creators, 43 in all. Each in their own section, including Al Capp, Mort Meskin (Sheena), Ross Andru,  Sheldon Moldoff (Batman), Noel Sickles (Scorchy Smith), Stan Drake, Joe Simon, Basil Wolverton, Dik Browne (Hagar the Horrible), Clifford McBride (Napoleon), Hank Ketcham (Dennis the Menace), Daniel Clowes (Ghost World), and many more. Fantagraphics, 2019...More.

Item Code: COMADM
Soft Cover, 9x11, 144pg, Partial Color
$30.00

This is edited by Steven Brower, who edited/wrote both Meskin books. Mort Meskin is also well covered and illustrated in the outstanding MLJ Companion, of which we have only 8 copies left at half price.

 
AMAZING MYSTERIES The Bill Everett Archives Volume 1
Closeout Price! Highly Recommended. Edited by Blake Bell. As co-creator of both the Sub-Mariner and the modern Daredevil, Everett's place in comic history is assured. Here, over 200 pages of never-before-reprinted art and stories are presented for a new look at one of the best comic artists to ever wield a pen. Here are all of his secondary heroes: Hydroman, Skyrocket Steele, Sub-Zero, the Chameleon and others, a glimpse into the wild imagination and amazing talent of one of the all-time greats of the Golden Age. Fantagraphics, 2011...More.

Closeout Price! Highly Recommended. The adventures of Disney's Snow White continue in four complete all-new stories, first published in Italy from 1954-1960, and drawn by renowned master artist Romano Scarpa, who went on to do superb work on the Disney Ducks. Prince Charming leaves Snow White in the care of the Seven Dwarfs while he goes on an expedition with the king. But the Evil Queen is back!

A chilling fantasy retelling of the Snow White fairy tale by New York Times bestselling creators Neil Gaiman and Colleen Doran! A not-so-evil queen is terrified of her monstrous stepdaughter, Snow White--who literally murders the king. Roles are reversed and this evil creature cannot be destroyed. We added an illustrated bookplate signed by Colleen before I knew just how beautiful a work this is. Colleen's art and design (there are very few actual panels) are inspired by Art Nouveau illustrator and stained glass designer Harry Clarke. This is gorgeous, page after page!!

Closeout Price! Recommended. By Spain Rodriguez. Compiled by Patrick Rosenkranz. Spain Rodriguez was a motorcycle outlaw early in his life, and went on to become one of the original seven Zap artists. This is the first volume in a series celebrating his influential force in the underground movement. Spain's Trashman (about a future-world motorcycle bad guy/good guy) stories form the backbone of this volume, along with his firsthand accounts of riding with the Road Vultures Motorcycle Club (a gang once considered so dangerous that the police chief of Buffalo, New York, declared war on them) and his 1969 East Village Other series, Manning.

In this first volume, we meet the series' mainstay characters: Lulu, Tubby, Alvin, and oodles more neighborhood kids. Little Lulu‘s comedy lies in the hilarious dynamic between its cast of characters.

THE BEST OF WALT DISNEY COMICS From the Year 1934
Mickey Mouse and the Bat Bandit of Inferno Gulch, 1974. Highly Recommended. By Floyd Gottfredson. Back in 1974, the only reprints ever done of Barks or Gottfredson material was in the comics themselves, and often badly printed. Suddenly Whitman stepped up and issued four wonderful softcover booklets, beautifully printed, with classic material. Today these little gems are quite collectible-near mint minus (9.2) copies guide at $95 in Overstreet. We have just uncovered several sets in the original retailer counter-display boxes, in pristine condition, and offer them here far below present market value. Western Publishing, 1974.

IMAGES #13 Portfolio
Closeout Price! Numbered from 250. Recommended. By Louis Chalon.

This portfolio reproduces those five-color plates (including gold), on heavy stock, presented in an illustrated and hand-numbered envelope.

HOWARD CHAYKIN CODY STARBUCK PORTFOLIO
Warehouse find, 1980. Recommended. By Howard Chaykin. Swashbucking science fiction hero Cody Starbuck was created by comic book artist Howard Chaykin and debuted in the first issue of Star Reach magazine in 1974.
Starbuck, an amoral Errol Flynn analogue starred in Chaykin's violent and sexually explicit space opera, appearing infrequently in Mike Friedrich's black and white anthology comic until the character moved to Heavy Metal magazine in 1981. There the character appeared in five issues before disappearing completely. However, the theme of a morally ambivalent and sexually adventurous hero was one that Chaykin would revisit again, most notably in his American Flagg series of the mid-Eighties.
But before Starbuck moved to the science fiction and fantasy digest the character appeared in this portfolio collection released in 1980. SQP, 1980. Out of Print. Very Fine. Envelope slightly smudged and sun damaged....More.

AMERICAN FLAGG! Definitive Collection
Closeout Price! Highly Recommended. By Howard Chaykin. Introduction by Michael Chabon. In 2031, along with Raul, the smartest talking cat alive, and Luther Ironheart, the stupidest robot ever, and surrounded by a bevy of the most beautiful women of the 21st century, Flagg faces an uphill battle protecting and defending the American way of life...or rather, what's left of it. As a former porn star-turned-cop, he is as unorthodox a good guy as you've ever seen. This sexy, violent and scarily prescient look at the future is my personal favorite work ever from Chaykin, done for First Comics way back in 1983. Image Comics, 2008. Out of Print. Mature Readers...More.

Mature Readers

Guy Colwell's Inner City Romance is one of our new Fantagraphics sale books, now at half price. Colwell is best known for his very adult Doll graphic novels. Spain's Street Fighting Men is another new Fantagraphics sale title. It has adult content, but not so much, so I've kept it up in the regular section above.

And entirely new this week is Women of the Sun: Bunny Yeager in Mexico. We've never met a bad book featuring Bunny's work. Here she photographs famous models, including Christine Starr, in the ruins of Aztec and Incan temples. Bunny is most famous for her work with Bettie Page and Diane Webber, but she was THE best known woman photographer of her day, and here you will see why. Dozens of publications came out with her classy nudes in the late 1950s and 1960s.

See our website for more Bunny Yeager collections, including two of her original books, signed: How I Photograph Myself [RBA35. $300, $225] and How I Photograph Nudes [RBA36. $150]. Available by special order is Bunny's Betty Page: Queen of Curves [BPQH. $55].
