THE ART OF REGINALD HEADE Volume 2 Our Highest Recommendation, By Stephen James Walker and Steve Chibnall. Reginald Heade was an incredibly prolific artist, at the height of his career taking on as many as 100 commissions per year. Ongoing research carried out since the completion of work on the expanded Art of Reginald Heade Vol. One has uncovered hundreds more previously unknown examples of his superb book cover, magazine illustration and other commercial art, and all of these are presented here. Plus: the most comprehensive biography of Heade ever, including the first photographs of the artist ever to be published; a detailed checklist of all known published work; many previously-unpublished preparatory sketches and roughs; plus dozens of superb full-page reproductions of Heade's original pulp-fiction cover paintings, showcasing choice examples of his most celebrated work in greater detail and clarity than ever seen before. Telos, 2020....More. Item Code: ARTRH02H Hard Cover, 9x11, 384pg, Full Color $65.00 |

THE ART OF REGINALD HEADE Special Edition Import from England. Our Highest Recommendation. By Stephen James Walker. This deluxe special edition of the acclaimed The Art of Reginald Heade is extensively revised and greatly expanded with almost double the page-count. It features over 400 additional, ultra-rare Heade artwork images, and presents many others in larger size than before. Reginald Heade is renowned among vintage paperback fans and collectors as the pre-eminent British pulp fiction and good girl/bad girl cover artist of the 1940s and 1950s. His beautifully-rendered, erotically-charged depictions of a parade of sexy, scantily-clad young virgins and vixens ““ the so-called "Heade Women", are near-legendary among lovers of classic pin-up art. Telos, 2020....More. Item Code: ARTRH01H Hard Cover, 9x11, 320pg, Full Color $65.00 |
| We handled the first edition of this and it did very well for us. Heade (pronounced HEED) was so prolific, it's taken both of these books to cover his career. |
 |
COVER ME The Vintage Art of Pan Books 1950-1965 Highly Recommended. By Colin Larkin. An affectionate and thoroughly-researched celebration of the classic Pan Books paperbacks, beautifully illustrated with sumptuous full-color reproductions of over 300 of the original cover paintings! From Robert Heinlein classics to Edgar Rice Burroughs, Agatha Christie mysteries to pulp fiction and cheesecake, and lots of it, Pan has always commissioned their own art for their often-iconic paperback covers. Here's that art, and the story behind the company. Telos, 2020....More. Item Code: COVMH Hard Cover, 9x11, 264pg, Full Color $45.00 |
| We found our costs of bringing these in, based on the British pound, to be more than we expected when we first priced these three titles. We're maintaining the original price for now, since I ran the teaser last week. And of course we always honor your advance order price. But with our next catalog, we'll most likely raise all three prices. |

DC POSTER PORTFOLIO Clay Mann Highly Recommended. Clay Mann is renowned for his work on Batman, Heroes in Crisis, Action Comics and more. 20 of his fan favorite covers are reproduced poster-size on heavy card stock paper at a big 12 by 16 inches.

Featuring comic covers, pinups, commissions of pop characters and original behind the scene comics creations. Trom, renowned for his unique style and love of the female form.

ALSO AVAILABLE TARZAN CONQUEROR OF MARS Our Highest Recommendation. By Will Murray. Mysteriously teleported to Mars just as John Carter once was, Tarzan searches for the one man who could show him the path home”The Warlord of Mars! I'm a huge fan of Murray's first Tarzan novel, Return to Pal-Ul-Don. And just like reading Return, I was sorry to see this new novel come to an end. It's really fun, nice and long at 460 pages. Murray captures ERB's style and voice very well. John Carter finally comes into play...in a major way...but not until halfway through the novel! I could elaborate, but no more spoilers. For the first half of the book, Tarzan 1) manages to stay allive, not easy, 2) explores the outer reaches of Mars, far from civilization, and 3) begins to meet the many denizens of Mars: White Apes, a Zitidar, Thoats (which he masters riding), and Green Martians. Altus, 2020....More. Item Code: TARCON Soft Cover, 6x9, 444pg, Text Only $24.95 |
|
This is also available as a limited edition hardcover with bonus material and a bookplate signed by Will Murray and the illustrator [TARCONH. $65].
This year has seen many new novels joining the Edgar Rice Burroughs canon. This includes the recent new novella, Tarzan Untamed Frontiers, signed and limited to 350, as well as a new Carson of Venus novel. My favorites so far remain both of Will Murray's books, the Tarzan Conqueror above and his earlier Tarzan Return to Pal-ul-don [TARRP. $24.95; Deluxe signed HC TARRPH. $65]. |

THE ETERNAUT 1969 By Héctor Germán Oesterheld. Art by Alberto Breccia. In the 1950s, pioneering comics writer Héctor Germán Oesterheld authored the serialized science-fiction adventure story The Eternaut, which now is collected here as a seminal Argentine graphic novel. In 1969, Oesterheld reimagined his classic narrative as a bold allegory of political resistance against the oppressive Argentine regime; Alberto Breccia's expressionistic chiaroscuro style lends a chilling dimension to this apocalyptic tale. A deadly "snow" falls; however, Juan Salvo's small household of family and friends are spared, protected inside his home — but what horror awaits them in the silent, deserted streets of Buenos Aires? Venturing out in search of supplies, our everyday heroes soon join the resistance against an enemy far more sinister than anything they could have imagined. Fantagraphics, 2020....More. Item Code: ETERNH Hard Cover, 9x12, 64pg, b&w |

THE DISNEY BROS The Fabulous Story of Walt and Roy Recommended. By Alex Nikolavitch. Art by Felix Ruix. "If you can dream it, you can do it." -Walt Disney. After the bankruptcy of his first two companies, the young Walt Disney decides to call on his older brother Roy to start a new business: the Disney Brothers Cartoon Studios. The combination of their opposing talents, one artistic, the other managerial, will give birth to an entertainment giant despite Walt's difficult nature. Little by little, Walt will push his brother into the shadows and sink into chronic depression and excessive consumption of alcohol... but all this will not prevent him from producing the greatest masterpieces of animation. The authors have chosen a cartoon style, worthy of Mickey Mouse comics, to tell a very serious story of creation, money and politics, and of family. NBM, 2020....More. Item Code: DISBRO Hard Cover, 7x11, 112pg, Full Color |

Eerie, shocking tales of the supernatural and horror from Harvey Comics, second only to EC Comics for good stories, violent excess and some very sharp artwork. Witches Tales ran for 28 issues until the Comics Code came along and crushed it. Plus a fine 6-page profile on cover and story artist Warren Kremer, who pushed the boundaries of good taste — before becoming THE artist of Richie Rich!

This is the prime period for artwork, with superb jobs by Howard Nostrand (who frequently imitated Wally Wood, including the story here, "Ivan's Woe.") Here are Bob Powell, Jack Sparling, Sid Check, Manny Stallman, Lee Elias, and Rudy Palais, who were now regulars and had artwork in almost every single issue. Top-drawer, far above average horror!!

Walking dead folks (loads of “˜em) — some of them even still sporting their heads — witches, ghosts, werewolves and enough vampires to go into the second-hand dentures business. The publisher knew beautiful girls sold, so lots of tales feature nice young ladies being threatened with every sort of ghastly peril. And often it comes to be. Another wild title from Superior, one of the most extreme of the pre-code comics publishers (which makes them the most fun).
