THE ART OF SAUL TEPPER
Limited, 900. Highly Recommended. By Daniel Zimmer. Saul Tepper (1899-1987) was a life member of the Society of Illustrators and was elected to its Hall of Fame in 1980. His work is most closely compared to that of Dean Cornwell, and he worked for all the same popular, nationally selling magazines as Cornwell. He eventually did an almost equal proportion of fiction and advertising assignments, for both magazines and for many national accounts, such as Mobil Oil, Texaco, Packard, General Motors and Coca-Cola. This is the first-ever collection of his work. Tepper began his career working with Albert Dorne, studied under Harvey Dunn and, like Dunn, went on to teach after a long and successful career. Illustrated Press, 2020. ...More.

A COCKEYED MENAGERIE The Drawings of T.S. Sullivant
Highly Recommended. Welcome to the cockeyed menagerie of Thomas Starling Sullivant. From the 1880s to the Roaring Twenties, Sullivant conjured up a whimsical world in pen and ink “ riotous gag cartoons featuring anthropomorphic animals of all stripes; perennial American "types" like hobos, hayseeds, and urban hucksters; and familiar characters from ancient myths and Biblical tales. Imbued with infectious joy, his drawings have inspired generations of artists (such as Walt Kelly!) and countless Disney films. The most comprehensive collection ever published of Sullivant's delightfully off-kilter creations. Fantagraphics, 2020.  ...More.

Graphic Novels

 


THE GRANDE ODALISQUE
Highly Recommended. In this graphic novel, two beautiful young women are willing to risk everything as they try to beat the system. Carole is an all-star gymnast; Alex is simply gutsy to no end. These two art thieves bring in a third girl, Sam, a daring motorcyclist and boxer, for their biggest caper yet. But the heist — to steal the Ingres painting, The Grande Odalisque, from the Louvre in Paris — is going to be their biggest challenge. They also bring in Clarence, a young man with a price on his head by a Mexican drug cartel and, more importantly, an arms dealer. Ruppert and Mulot, two of the most innovative comic creators in the world, team up with multiple Angouleme prize winner Bastien Vives to bring you this impossibly funny, violent, and sexy action-packed thriller. Minor nudity. Fanagraphics, 2021....More.

PULP
Our Highest Recommendation. By Ed Brubaker. Art by Sean Phillips and Jacob Phillips. An original graphic novel from the bestselling creators”“it may look like a western, but the story begins in New York City in 1939! Max Winters, an aging pulp writer, finds himself drawn into a story not unlike the tales he churns out at five cents a word”“tales of a Wild West outlaw dispensing justice with a six-gun (secretly based on his own outlaw youth in the real west). But now Max is having his own issues, has been tracked down by a retired Pinkerton detective, and might be able to make one last big score. Image Comics, 2021....More.

Item Code: PULPGN
Soft Cover, 7x10, 80pg, Full Color
$12.99
First published in hardcover but now out of print. As I write this, we have two copies left. One of my very favorite Graphic Novels for all of last year.
 


FIREFLY New Sheriff in the 'Verse Volume 2
Collects Firefly: #16-20, 2020. By Greg Pak. Art by Lalit Kumar Sharma. Sheriff Mal Reynolds vs Serenity?! When the notorious outlaw Mal Reynolds agreed to wear a sheriff's badge, he figured he could change a thing or two about how "justice" is dispensed in the 'Verse. And maybe he did. But his former crew members on Serenity are about to find out if the badge has changed him — when he finally throws them in jail! With the whole 'Verse turned upside down, a new outlaw appears on the scene, calling himself the Bandit King, and he's bound and determined to take Mal's old position as the most incorrigibly independent law-bender around. Has Mal finally met his match? They say you can't trick a trickster, but in this brand new 'Verse, Mal may be in for the surprise of his life. New York Times best-selling writer Greg Pak (Darth Vader) and rising star artist Lalit Kumar Sharma (Daredevil) present the next exciting chapter continuing Joss Whedon's acclaimed series. Boom Studios, 2021....More.

JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA The Demise of Justice
Collects JSA #1-8, 1991, Adventure Comics #466, 1979, & All-Star Comics #57, 1951. Recommended. The majority of this unque story takes us back to the 1950s at the end of the Golden Age of Comics.

A SLIGHT CASE OF MURDER and Other Stories
Highly Recommended. This volume collects all of George Evans' horror stories for EC. It features "Blind Alleys," one of the most chilling and famous EC stories (adapted for the 1972 movie Tales From the Crypt). A man who abused residents of a home for the blind winds up in an impossibly narrow corridor lined with razor blades as a ravenous dog closes in—and the lights go out! "In Gorilla My Dreams," an innocent man's brain is transplanted into a gorilla ... who is then blamed for the death of his former self and hunted down. "A Slight Case of Murder," finds four pretty young women gruesomely murdered inside locked rooms with no way for the killer to get in or out. Fantagraphics, 2021....More.

FLEETWAY PICTURE LIBRARY CLASSICS Pirate Tales
Highly Recommended. Four long, complete stories published in Thriller Picture Library between 1954 and 1956—not unlike Classics Illustrated but I'd say, superior to most!! These feature the exhilarating piratical art of Philip Mendoza, Reg Bunn, Robert Forrest and John Millar Watt. These stories would not be out of place alongside Reed Crandall's in EC's Piracy. They are THAT good, while being longer and more developed, with lots of text, plot twists, historical characters and mystery. The Rogue's Moon by Robert W. Chambers splendidly captures the brutality and mendaciousness of cut-throat pirates, but with a wonderful, daring girl—in disguise—as our protagonist. Captain Kidd of the Spanish Main has the feel of good old-fashioned swashbuckling adventure, so prevalent in the movies of the 1950s. In The Sea Hawk by Raphael Sabatini, the world of the Barbary pirates comes to fierce, vigorous life with atmospheric and authentically-realized drawings. Finally, Fortunes of Captain Blood offers more in the tradition of Sabatini's Sea Hawk. Book Palace, 2020....More.

Item Code: FLPIR
Soft Cover, 7x9, 272pg, b&w
$34.99
 


FLEETWAY PICTURE LIBRARY CLASSICS Westerns
Art by Ruggero Giovannini. Four complete 64-page stories featuring the atmospheric Western art of Ruggero Giovannini, first published in Thriller Picture Library from 1957-60. Today, Giovannini is mainly remembered in England for the many western, adventure and historical comic strips he drew in a realistic style, packed with plenty of action on each page. His style, inspired by Milton Caniff and Will "Red Barry" Gould, has a way of telling a story which is fast-paced, occasionally using heavy shadows, and accompanied with his quickly rendered, yet effective, inking. Book Palace, 2020....More.

Item Code: FLWES

MARVEL MASTERWORKS THE FANTASTIC FOUR Volume 22
Collects Fantastic Four #232-240; Annual #16 & Roast #1, 1981-82. By John Byrne & Stan Lee. Byrne's groundbreaking Fantastic Four run continues! From Wakanda to the return of Galactus, Byrne' epic adventures capture the spirit of what makes the FF Marvel's greatest super-team. Each issue explores the essence of these beloved characters while also putting them in unexpected places — like side by side with Doctor Doom in a battle for Latveria! Byrne also has changes in store for Nova and the Thing and returns to the X-Men for a super-sized #250. Plus a Silver Surfer collaboration with Stan Lee. Marvel, 2020....More.

DISNEY MASTERS Volume 15 Mickey Mouse New Adventures of the Phantom Blot
Collects The Phantom Blot #1-7, 1964-66. Recommended. By Del Connell and Bob Ogle. Art by Paul Murry. The Phantom Blot - a power-crazed villain in a ghostly black cloak — is on the loose, and Mickey, Donald, and Uncle Scrooge must assemble to stop him! From terrifying time travel to usurping "The Crown of Tasbah," the Blot will stop at nothing to turn the world upside down! Classic Disney artist Paul Murry teamed with writers Del Connell and Bob Ogle to create seven comic book issues starring The Blot, first created in 1939. Goofy's new secret identity kicks off: Super Goof. Will the Blot move too fast for all our heroes? With allies like Mad Madam Mim, the Beagle Boys, and "The Mysterious Mr. X?" he just might...

FIVE HUNDRED YEARS OF BRITISH ART
Tate Britain is the home of British art from 1500 to the present day. This guide to the collection provides an essential introduction to the extraordinary development of British art over the centuries: from van Dyke, Hogarth and Reynolds, to Sargent, Burne-Jones and Waterhouse, to the modernists Stanley Spencer, Paul Nash and Francis Bacon. About half the book covers our area of interest, paintings up to 1900 or so; the latter half features abstract, cubist and modern art, which I admit I personally have little feel for. So take that as you will! Tate, 2020....More.

THE ART OF RICHARD EURICH
By Andrew Lambirth. This is the first book to present a comprehensive overview of the entire career of British artist Richard Eurich (1903-1992). Eurich was a draughtsman, landscape painter, teacher, war artist, autobiographer, marine painter extraordinaire, portrait painter, figure painter, satirist, genre painter, visual poet of the beach, and occasional sculptor. And on occasion he'd paint "the mysterious and unseen." He settled on the coast of England and marine paintings became a specialty. During World War II he was a war artist.

CHARLES BARGUE AND JEAN-LEON GEROME DRAWING COURSE
Recommended. By Gerald Ackerman and Graydon Parrish. A complete reprint of a famous, late nineteenth-century drawing course. Two hundred masterful lithographs of subjects for copying by drawing students before they attempt drawing from life or nature. Consequently it is a book that will interest artists, art students, art historians, and lovers and collectors of drawings. It also introduces us to the work and life of a hitherto neglected master: Charles Bargue. Jean-Leon Gérôme, besides being one of the finest artists of his day, also established his own school in Paris in the 1800s, which became a mecca for aspiring artists from the U.S. and around the world. Oversized, impressive. ACC Art Books, 2019....More.
