Highly Recommended. New stories from 2014-2018. From his first field mission in 1952, to his first years as an agent in 1953 and 1954. The grown Hellboy may be dead and in hell...maybe.

A must-have book for fans (like me). Love it. Dark Horse, 2021....More

BLAXPLOITATION CINEMA The Essential Reference Guide
By Josiah Howard. Blaxploitation Cinema: The Essential Reference Guide will become the primary reference book on the genre, covering not just the films' heyday (1971-1976) but the entire decade (1970-1980). From Aaron Loves Angela to The Zebra Killer, they're all here in one indispensable volume. Complimenting the text of Blaxploitation Cinema: The Essential Reference Guide are many of the vivid, highly-theatrical, motion picture posters and ads that promoted the films. Blaxploitation's rich and colourful poster art has been the sole subject of a number of coffee-table books. The hand-painted, elaborately illustrated posters and ad campaigns associated with the genre represent a now-gone golden era of sensational motion picture representation. Also features page after page of stunning action stills and original newspaper admats. FAB Press, 2021....More

THE BLAZING WORLD Illuminated Edition
By Margaret Cavendish. Art by Rebekka Dunlap. The Blazing World is one of the most fascinating, unusual and astonishing pieces of literature in the English language. Written in 1666 by Margaret Cavendish, the Duchess of Newcastle, the story follows a young woman who is transported to a world of animal-people, becomes their empress, and eventually leads an invasion back into her own world, complete with bird-man bombardiers and submarine ships. The tale involves spirit possession, astral projection, the many-worlds theory, and an inter-dimensional otherworldly queer romance that is centuries ahead of its time. Featuring numerous full-page and spot illustrations, and housed in an elaborately die-cut and embossed slipcase, this is an heirloom edition designed to be a work of art in its own right.

Collects Marvel Team-Up #53-64; Annual #1; Marvel Premiere #31; Mighty Marvel Calendar, all circa 1977.

THE ART OF PULP FICTION An Illustrated History of Vintage Paperbacks
Highly Recommended. Introduction by Richard A. Lupoff. The Art of Pulp Fiction: An Illustrated History of Vintage Paperbacks chronicles the history of pocket-sized paper bound books designed for mass-market consumption, specifically concentrating on the period from 1940 to 1970. These three decades saw paperbacks eclipse cheap pulp magazines and expensive cloth bound books as the most popular delivery vehicle for escapist fiction. To catch the eyes of potential buyers they were adorned with covers that were invariably vibrant, frequently garish, and occasionally lurid. Today the early paperbacks--like the earlier pulps, inexpensively produced and considered disposable by casual readers--are treasured collector's items. IDW, 2021. Due: Sep. ...More

HAYAO MIYAZAKI
Recommended. For over four decades, Hayao Miyazaki has been enchanting audiences of all ages.

FIVE HUNDRED YEARS OF BRITISH ART Hurt
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.
