DITKO SHRUGGED
The Uncompromising Life of the Artist Behind Spider-Man and the Rise of Marvel Comics. Recommended. By Dave Currie. Foreword by Mark S. Ditko. The first in depth biography of comics legend Steve Ditko, in his own words — taken from years of correspondence with author David Currie and endorsed by the Ditko family with a foreword by Mark S. Ditko, who writes "I'm very happy to say that this is a really great book. David, and his correspondence with my uncle and others, uncovered and documented things that would otherwise have been left unknown or subject to complete speculation — if ever even considered." Hermes Press, 2020....More.

ILLUSTRATORS QUARTERLY SPECIAL #8 The Art of John M. Burns
Highly Recommended. By Barry Coker and Peter Richardson. A long overdue retrospective of John Burns' art, with contributions from friends and colleagues, as well as access to unpublished art and revealing glimpses into John's creative process, including his personal work and sketchbooks. You may know him best as the cover artist of the Modesty Blaise collections, as well as the illustrator on her strips for several years. But he's done Judge Dredd, adventure work, Daniel, The Seekers, strips for Boy's Life, personal works including several nudes to be found here, and lots more wonderful full color, painted comic pages. Nudity. Book Palace, 2020. Mature Readers. ...More.

HELLBOY HOLIDAY ORNAMENT
Recommended. Santa isn't the only big red guy that loves the holidays! Now you can celebrate with Mike Mignola's Hellboy. Based on the limited-edition Holiday Hellboy game piece from Mantic Games, this is small, but highly detailed and fully painted. 3.75 x 3.25 ornament can be hung or displayed on a flat surface. The hell-iday season is here...well, decidedly late for 2020 (it came in January) but still fun for any Hellboy fan (like I am). Cool gravestones, and what can beat Hellboy in a Santa costume! Dark Horse, 2020. ...More.

LIGHTFALL BOOK 1 The Girl & The Galdurian
Highly Recommended. By Tim Probert. For fans of sweeping worlds like Star Wars, the first book of the Lightfall series introduces Bea and Cad, two unlikely friends who get swept up in an epic quest to save their world from falling into eternal darkness. A perfect Young Adult title but fun for any age (I really enjoyed it-Bud). A young girl and a very strange creature, thought to be extinct but clearly not, set out on a wonderful quest across a strange and dangerous land. Our creature is much more battle-worthy, and skilled, and lucky, than he seems, as young Bea slowly discovers. What's his secret? She's sucked into his quest when her adopted grandfather disappears. Harper Collins, 2020....More.

THE BUTCHER OF PARIS
Collects #1-5, 2019-20. By Stephanie Phillips. Art by Dean Kotz. Based on a true story. In 1944, as swastikas flew over Paris, one of the most notorious and prolific serial killers in history turned the occupied city into his personal hunting ground. The killer preys on those desperate to flee the Nazi occupation. Wanted by both the Nazis and the allied forces, the hunt is on for a French detective who is racing to catch the villain and stop the more than 200 killings already under his (or her) belt. Everything is complicated as the allies approach Paris and the war could allow the killer to escape capture. Minor nudity and adult situations. Dark Horse, 2020....More.

THE PHOTOGRAPHER OF MAUTHAUSEN
Recommended. By Salva Rubio. Art by Pedro J. Colombo. This is the grimm and incredible life of Francisco Boix, a Spanish press photographer with communist leanings, who fled the Spanish revolution to France at the beginning of World War II. There, he is handed over to the Nazis, who send him to the notorious Mauthausen concentration camp, where he will spend the war among thousands of Spaniards and other prisoners, simply trying to beat the system and stay alive. More than half would lose their lives. Boix finds himself the confidant of an SS officer who is documenting prisoner deaths at the camp... Dead Reckoning, 2020....More.

BATMAN Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?
Recommended. By Neil Gaiman. Art by Any Kubert. New York Times best-selling author Neil Gaiman (The Sandman) lends his unique touch to the Batman mythos that "...will stand as one of the definitive Batman tales of all time" (IGN)! Spotlighting the title story from Batman #686 and Detective Comics #853, in a story that shines a new light on the Batman mythos. Batman is dead, and his friends and deadliest enemies gather to pay their respects. Each tells a different story of the Batman they knew. Like a shadow, a dark figure watches over this macabre memorial. He knows that all these tales cannot be true... DC Comics, 2020....More.

PROMETHEA The 20th Anniversary Edition Book Three
Highly Recommended. Collects #24-32, 2001-2006. By Alan Moore. Art by J. H. Williams III & Mick Gray. Alan Moore's entrancing fantasy masterpiece concludes in an all-new Deluxe Edition hardcover featuring the spectacular art of J.H. Williams III. Promethea is back from her tour of the higher realms—but how will her friend Stacia, who took her place as Promethea while she was gone, deal with her reappearance? Then the end of the world is nigh—and the Painted Doll intends to settle accounts with Promethea before it's too late. Gorgeously drawn, as usual, and epic storytelling on another plane.

THE MONSTER ART OF BASIL GOGOS
Closeout Price! Publisher Exclusive limited to 100 copies, with variant cover. Recommended. Produced under a partnership between FantaCo and Basil Gogos' wife, Linda. They had access to ALL of Basil's private sketches and illustrations for some of his most famous paintings, as well as many hundreds of preliminary sketches for never published projects. This shows you how Basil used his sketches to create his wonderful paintings—arranged by monster (Wolfman, The Creature, Dracula, Frankenstein, etc). His wife has written the introduction and has added commentary explaining many of the images. Fantaco Enterprises, 2019....More.

Two new Replica Editions

 


ANARCHO DICTATOR OF DEATH
Collects Comics Novel #1, 1947. Highly Recommended. By Otto Binder. Art by Al Carreno. A long, book-length story published by Fawcett as a one-shot comic. This stars Radar the "International Policeman." Radar was an undercover spy, with some extraordinary powers...the star of a long-running back-up feature in the pages of Master Comics, beginning in 1944. This is an unusual book, both for story length and subject matter, so soon after the defeat of Hitler and the Nazis. Were Fawcett and the noted author taking a stand on dictators to come? Radar travels the world battling Anarcho and his deadly minions, much like a Shadow pulp story. PS Artbooks, 2020....More.

PS Artbooks Presents It Rhymes with Lust
Highly Recommended. By Arnold Drake and Leslie Waller. Art by Matt Baker. This "picture novel" from 1950, producted in digest form and drawn by the premier good-girl artist of comics at the time, Matt Baker, is a milestone. It has been called comics' first graphic novel and also is the first comic book work by writer Arnold Drake, who went on to be a major contributor at DC and is best known for co-creating Deadman. Hal Weber, onetime crusading journalist, is summoned to Copper City by his old flame Rust after the death of her politically powerful and rich husband. At the same time he's drawn back to this evil femme fatale, he's falling for her beautiful stepdaughter, Audrey. PS Artbooks, 2020....More.

Flint Baker, Reef Ryan, The Space Rangers, Gale Allen, Star Pirate, Auro Lord of Jupiter, Buzz Crandall of the Space Patrol, Mysta of the Moon, the rare super-hero Red Comet, plus many more.

PRE-CODE CLASSICS THE BEYOND Volume 5
Collects #21-25, 1953-54. Highly Recommended. By Lin Streeter, Lou Cameron et al. Penultimate volume of Ace's excellent horror title. Sy Grudko, Dick Beck, Lou Cameron (a story in EVERY issue, and all of them outstanding!), the under-rated Jim McLaughlin (with more excellent work), Lin Streeter, Ken Rice and Louis Zansky. Ghouls and cadavers, vampires and ghosts, beautiful gals threatened by a fate worse than—or including—death! Some superb work by Cameron, who at his best was as good as Frazetta in these days.PS Artbooks, 2020....More.

PRE-CODE CLASSICS HORRIFIC
Collects #4-8 1953. Recommended. By Hollingsworth, Palais, Morisi et al. Comic Media is a little known but nifty pre-code publisher. Today Horrific is highly collectible for the great Don Heck covers, as you see here. The publisher was convinced that faces sold comics; he insisted that every issue have werewolf faces, monster faces, terrified faces. Don Heck eagerly complied with covers AND one story. Includes shrunken heads, a guillotine cover, Jack the Ripper, and the origin & 1st "The Teller" story, an EC parody. PS Artbooks, 2020....More.

Kona saves the lives of Dr. Henry Dodd, his daughter Mary and his grandchildren Mason and Lily after this group crashes on the prehistoric Pacific island Monster Isle that Kona calls home. Scripted and drawn by the much admired Sam Glanzman, and featuring superbly painted covers by Victor Prezio.

HARVEY HORRORS BLACK CAT MYSTERY Volume 3 Hardcover
Closeout Price! Collects #42-47, 1953. Recommended. Art by Bob Powell, Howard Nostrand, Warren Kremer, Manny Stallman et al. Includes the classic "Colorama" by Bob Powell, "Lynch Mob" by Howard Nostrand, a "decapitation" cover, and more classic gore. Even some cool sci-fi stories. And LOTS of great work by Powell and Nostrand, from the mature period of their run in this highly collected title.

HARVEY HORRORS BLACK CAT MYSTERY Volume 4 Hardcover
Collects #48-53, 1954. By Howard Nostrand, Lee Elias, Mort Meskin, Bob Powell, Rudy Palais and Manny Stallman. It's the A-list of Harvey artists, at their peak with over-the top stories and covers. A man's face burned away with radiation! Work later blanked out in post-code reprints. Science fiction as well as vintage and contemporary horror. This completes the pre-code issues, with more wild stories: "Les Miserables," "River of Blood," "Paranoia," "Jack of Horror," "Halloween Nightmare," "Marching Zombies," and "The Last Man on Earth."

HARVEY HORRORS CHAMBER OF CHILLS Volume 3 Hardcover
Closeout Price! Collects #14-19, 1952-53. By Bob Powell, Rudy Palais, Al Avison, Howard Nostrand, Lee Elias, Manny Stallman et al. Special feature is a six-page profile of Bob Powell, who in my mind is clearly the finest artist in Harvey's stable during this horror period. And Powell was perfect for horror, as shown here in reproductions of eight pages of original artwork. And stories: "It", "The Spider Man," "The Devil's Necklace," "Nightmare of Doom", "Amnesia," and "Black Passion" are just a few, plus the all-time classic "Terrorvision" by Howard Nostrand.

ADVENTURES INTO THE UNKNOWN Volume 11
Closeout Price! Collects #58-64, 1954-55. Highly Recommended. Art by Harry Lazarus, Kenneth Landau, Edmund Good, Bob Forgione et al. If anything, the comic code resulted in even better stories in this ACG title. Richard Hughes began doing many more science fiction stories, and often nice long tales that could run 10-12 pages in length. Meanwhile, artists Harry Lazarus and Kenneth Landau, today almost forgotten, were delivering highly detailed, well-drawn stories with much in common with early Al Williamson/Roy Krenkel work! Also includes two very wild "3-D Effect" issues, in full color and requiring no glasses. Now among the most highly prized issues. PS Artbooks, 2016....More.

ADVENTURES INTO THE UNKNOWN Volume 12
Closeout Price! Collects #65-71, 1955-56. Highly Recommended. By Ogden Whitney, Harry Lazarus, Kurt Schaffenberger, John Rosenberger The Comics Code in general tamped down creativity and variety in comics. Stan Lee's Atlas line was a good example of this, at least until Kirby and Ditko came back on board. But for editor and writer Richard Hughes, this brought out his absolute best. Stories explored totally new avenues, with more time travel, sci-fi and excellent charactization and complex plots, He even takes 10 or 12 pages to develop a good story, rather than the industry standard of just 6 or 8. This is outstanding comics writing and one of the series I most enjoy reading now, 50 years later. PS Artbooks, 2017....More.
