Graphic Novels

 


MIRKA ANDOLFO UN/SACRED Volume 1
Recommended. The accomplished Mirka Andolfo (Unnatural, Mercy, DC Bombshells) brings to life a Heaven (and a Hell) filled with humor and lovable characters. Nudity and sex, but nothing explicit. It's all in good fun as Angelina, a voluptuous angel, and Damiano, a mischievous devil, fall madly in love. But, while she does not intend to give in to temptation, he would very much like to... This is the tale of their bizarre and spicy daily life! A sex-positive—and incredibly funny—slice of life...full of angels, devils and gags! looks like fun. Ablaze, 2020. Mature readers....More.

THE MAGICIANS Alice's Story
New Softcover edition - hardcover is sold out. Highly Recommended. By Lev Grossman and Lilah Sturges. The Magicians Alice's Story is an all new chapter set in the world of The Magicians trilogy of novels by New York Times bestselling author Lev Grossman, retelling the events of the first novel through fan-favorite character Alice Quinn. And for me, unfamiliar with the series, I found it an outstanding stand-alone graphic novel. It features exceptionally good characterization and strong artwork. -Bud. Alice Quinn is manifestly brilliant, and she's always known that magic is real. During her years at Brakebills College for Magical Pedagogy, she rises to the top of her class, falls in love with Quentin Coldwater, and witnesses a horrifically magical creature invade their dimension.

Each found guilty of an irredeemable crime, they find themselves banished from their home world and bound together by the Kill Lock—a programming link that means if one of them dies, they all will. Now a soldier, an addict, a murderer, and a child find themselves forced to protect each other while in search of a cure to survive. Their only clue is a bot known as The Axial, supposed to be the creator of the Lock and keeper of its secrets. Unusual and intriguing. IDW, 2020....More.

WYOMING DOLL
Translated from the 2004 French graphic novel. Highly Recommended. By Franz. Two families en route to Wyoming. An ambush by Crow warriors. A massacre — and two little girls missing. Logan, a naive and inexperienced young man who served as scout to the small convoy, makes a promise: he'll find the girls. Meanwhile, Salmon Leap, a young Lakota warrior turned away by the father of the woman he loves, seeks a glorious death — but finds Sharon, one of the two girls, who quickly bonds with him. A complex, epic adventure than spans more than a decade, and offers nuanced views of good and bad in the old west. Cinebook, 2020....More.

Highly Recommended. By John Rhett Thomas and Roy Thomas. The best art of the legendary Savage Sword in a deluxe art book, and narrated by Roy himself, who wrote, edited and oversaw the artists from the beginning. With Conan's success as a color comic and a test run in mag Savage Tales, the decision was made to spin Conan off into his own magazine—with longer, more mature stories and art in black and white, behind beautiful painted covers. Conan took on a new savagery under masters such as Barry Windsor-Smith, John Buscema and Ernie Chan. The series' fully painted covers offered gorgeous illustrations by Boris Vallejo, Michael Kaluta, Earl Norem and many others. Marvel, 2020....More.

Comic Strip & Animation History

 


WILD MINDS The Artist and Rivalries that Inspired the Golden Age of Animation
Recommended. By Reid Mitenbuler. In 1911, famed cartoonist Winsor McCay debuted one of the first animated cartoons, based on his sophisticated newspaper strip “Little Nemo in Slumberland,” itself inspired by Freud's recent research on dreams. McCay unleashed an art form and the creative energy of artists from Otto Messmer and Max Fleischer to Walt Disney and Warner Bros.' Chuck Jones. Their origin stories, rivalries, and sheer genius, were as colorful and subversive as their creations — from Felix the Cat to Bugs Bunny to feature films such as Fantasia — which became an integral part and reflection of American culture over the next five decades.

LITTLE DEBBIE AND THE SECOND COMING OF ELMO DAILY COMIC STRIPS 1960-61 Signed
Signed by Frank Young & numbered. Recommended. By Cecil Jensen. Introduction by Frank M. Young. For a dozen years, Cecil Jensen created a comic strip called "Little Debbie." It had once been known as "Elmo" — one of the darkest and wildest strips ever made. In the summer of 1960, the 58-year-old journeyman brought Elmo and his weird world back into the strip for a final hurrah that is among comics' greatest surprises! This gathers the final 13 months which appeared in a handful of newspapers. Labor of Love, 2020....More.

ELMO 1 DAILY COMIC STRIPS 1946-48 Signed
Signed & numbered by the author. Recommended. By Cecil Jensen. Introduction by Frank M. Young. Created by journeyman political cartoonist Cecil Jensen, Elmo hit the American comics page in the fall of 1946. With an absurd cool worthy of Nathanael West and dust-dry humor on par with W. C. Fields or S. J. Perelman, Elmo was the right idea at the wrong time. Exiled from his own strip within two years, this can-do Candide shoulda been a contender. Though a blip on the national radar, Elmo offered readers quirky humor, surprising violence and a cast of craven, conniving and quixotic characters—including a bevy of beautiful young ladies, both good and bad. Labor of Love, 2019....More.

THE 10 CENT WAR: Comic Books, Propaganda, and World War II
Recommended. Edited by Trischa Goodnow and James J. Kimble. How different types of comic books and characters supplied reasons and means to support the war effort.

Mature Readers

We have a very limited number of the Morbus Gravis Limited Edition. We announced it in advance but then didn't get enough to fill our advance orders. Now we finally have a small restock, but with only 700 produced, we don't expect it to last long. Also see the available Druuna and Serpieri collections, including two coming collections.

And after a long absence, due to the virus, we have new Cavewoman: Greatest Hits, with two new nude Budd Root covers. I've also just discontinued quite a few of the older Cavewoman issues, with just 2 or 3 copies left, so look here for ones that say ALMOST GONE.

I'm dropping some of the older 42nd Street: Peep Show Collections; we have 14 different ones in stock. Watch for the ALMOST GONE message, with a note on how many we have left. Last chance also on Voyeur: Aurora & Meredith DVD [VOYEUAM. $19.95] and Zoom Up Seiko's Thigh DVD [ZOOMS. $19.95].

Christmas Shipping Deadlines

Detailed in our latest catalog. In short, December 11 for East Coast orders, the 16th for West Coast; Friday the 18th for RUSH SERVICE. You can try later, but these are our best estimates.

UPS and the US Mail make NO guarantees of delivery time during the holidays, and you already know these folks have been running slow ALREADY, ever since the Covid virus hit. Play it safe, order early. We also can run out of items that are more popular than we anticipated, another reason to order early.


The History of EC Comics

This may be already out of print. We just ordered more and Taschen's warehouse listed just 60 left in stock. We have copies on hand now and another reorder coming, but heads up if you are on the fence on this.


Masterpieces of Fantasy Art

This is Taschen's other $200 volume this season. It has also been very popular; we had copies left after shipping out advance orders, but once we announced it last week, we ran through every other copy. More are on the way, and the Taschen warehouse reports plentiful supply of this for now.
