THE ART OF PULP FICTION An Illustrated History of Vintage Paperbacks
Our Highest Recommendation. Edited by Ed Hulse, with Will Murray, Gary Lovisi and David Saunders. Wow, this looks even better than I could have imagined. Finally, THE book on vintage paperback art — a visual feast of great artwork! -Bud. From 1940 to 1970, paperbacks eclipsed pulp magazines and hardbound books as the most popular delivery vehicle for escapist fiction. And it was all about the cover art. To catch the eyes of potential buyers they were adorned with covers that were invariably vibrant, frequently garish, and often lurid.IDW, 2021. ...More.

THE RISE AND FALL OF THE TRIGAN EMPIRE Volume 3
15 stories from 1970-73. Highly Recommended. By Mike Butterworth. More exciting and superbly painted stories from the lost sci-fi classic. This is an epic story of how Trigo, pilot and warrior, often alone, had to fend off usurpers and monstrous threats to save his people in an alien society of robots, interplanetary travel, warring factions and evil scientists. The lush painted work by Don Lawrence would solidify him as one of the greatest comic book artists of all time — and that is no hyperbole. This is incredible work, every single page. Rebellion, 2021....More.

FANTASTIC FOUR Omnibus Volume 3
New printing. Collects Fantastic Four #61-93; Fantastic Four Annual #5-7 & more, 1967-69. Our Highest Recommendation.

Adam Warlock); team-ups with the Inhumans and Silver Surfer; and the birth of Franklin Richards! Add in classic enemies Dr. Doom, the Mole Man and Galactus...and Crystal's first outing as a member of the FF.

TEX THE MAGNIFICENT OUTLAW
Highly Recommended. Story Mauro Boselli. Collected from the renowned and long-running Italian graphic novel series, circa 2012. Main Tex writer and editor, Mauro Boselli, and stunning artwork by maestro Stefano Andreucci, whose style reminds us of Nick Cardy and Warren Tufts. Tex in his younger, pre-ranger, outlaw days — framed for the crime he did not commit, he will stop at nothing to clear his name, and in the process he will both teach and learn some hard-won life lessons.

ANATOMY FOR FANTASY ARTISTS An Essential Guide to Creating Action Figures and Fantastical Forms
New Expanded Edition. Recommended. By Glenn Fabry. Fantasy artists are unlikely to use models to draw from life but, to be successful, their creations must have a grounding in reality. This book, by successful comic and fantasy artist Glenn Fabry, teaches you the principles of anatomy, from musculature and skeletal structure through to movement, often featuring photographs of models in action poses. Also: facial expressions, hands and body language, and principles of perspective and composition, ways to distort, develop, and transform the human figure, giving it features that range from monstrous or magical to super-agile or larger than life, including dynamic poses for superheroes and villains, as well as fantasy female poses.

WOMEN PICTURING WOMEN From Personal Spaces to Public Ventures
Based on a 2021 exhibit and selected from the rich holdings of the Loeb Art Center at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York, this explores the common themes and complex visions that emerge when women depict other women in both photography and art. Artists grapple with narratives found in religion, mythology or social critique, focusing on motifs of both intimacy and isolation in varying degrees. With works that range from the 17th century to the close of the 1960s, this provides a varied set of examples that speak to the unique and frequently under-emphasized artistic lens through which women view women, with further scholarship on each artist and her work. Artists include: Angelica Kauffman, Berthe Morisot, Jesse Tarbox Beals, Lilly Martin Spencer, Alice Neel, Diane Arbus and Sylvia Sleigh. Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center, Vassar College, 2021....More.

Linsner Overstreet Price Guide

This generous note came in from Hero's Initiative, who produced the special 500-copy edition of the Price Guide with a special cover of Dawn by Joseph Linsner: “NO ONE is selling more copies of Hero's exclusive Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide #51 this year than world-famous @budsartbooks.” We just ordered half of the remaining copies, so this should be out of print any minute. We have plenty as I write this…it's still my favorite Price Guide cover this year.

THE CALL OF CTHULHU A Mystery in Three Parts
Featuring over one hundred pencil drawings plus color! Our Highest Recommendation. By H.P. Lovecraft. Art by Gary Gianni. This is quite a unique fusion of cinematic design, graphic novel and illustrated book. Over a hundred finished pencil drawings with occasional color pieces enhance and bring to life the work of two visionaries — H.P. Lovecraft and Gary Gianni — in an extraordinary feat of storytelling and art, with art on nearly every page, worked carefully into the text. Written in 1928, Cthulhu defined the ancient gods as dark creatures who came from the stars and ruled the world before mankind. Flesk, 2021. ...More.

THE DRAWINGS OF EDWIN AUSTIN ABBEY Publishers Edition
Exclusive Publisher Hardcover Edition. Our Highest Recommendation. By Alice "Bunny" Carter. One of the finest pen & ink artists of his day; this first-ever book focuses on Edwin Austen Abbey's (1852-1911) work in magazines and books. 350 drawings, including an exquisite series done over twenty years for The Comedies of William Shakespeare, followed by a very rare set, The Shakespeare Tragedies. His painstaking devotion to research while securing the appropriate costumes, props and models for his drawings was legendary. He is in the rarified class of Joseph Clement Coll, Franklin Booth, Arthur Rackham, and Frank Godwin — all masters of the medium— and he was the first in this line of greats. An extensive new essay by Alice A. Carter offers a fresh look at his life and career. Flesk, 2021. ...More.

The prehistoric warrior Tor was superior to the others in his clan, with an extra spark of humanity, instinctively striving for a better, more civilized way of life. Thanks to the work and obvious love that went into this series, what might have become a standard adventure strip, with man battling monster within the unusual prehistoric-world settings and situations, was actually elevated to art!

It's a righter of wrongs! Our young woman immediately carries on, spending her nights in the working-class neighborhoods, helping the poor and humble.

Miss Endicott's life as a Conciliator is off to a bad start: a strange plot is being hatched in the tunnels beneath London, her headquarters have been torched, the child whose nanny she is by day has disappeared— and to top it all, her mother, whom everyone believed dead, has reappeared!

GRAY Volume 1
By Arvind Ethan David. Art by Eugenia Koumaki and Diana Greenhalgh. A graphic novel by the mind behind the Dirk Gently TV show, the Darkness Visible graphic novel, and the Jagged Little Pill Broadway musical, Gray is a reimagined, modern feminist, politically charged update on Oscar Wilde's A Picture of Dorian Gray. Warning, sexual violence. Based on Oscar Wilde's novel, a classic of gothic literature. It's a tale of the most beautiful man of his age, who sells his soul and his conscience in exchange for eternal youth, beauty and power - and who spends his life murdering, raping and corrupting. All the time in his attic, his picture degrades and rots. Clover Press, 2021. Adult Material....More.

But today, the Eternals face something new: change! An Eternal has been murdered by one of their own, and this may not be the last such killing.

THE JEWISH BRIGADE
Highly Recommended. By Marvano. I really like this—it's a very different look at World War II. In the waning years of the war, as the tragic plight of the European Jews was coming to light in ever more horrific detail, a Jewish fighting force, known as the Jewish Infantry Brigade Group, was born as part of the British Eighth Army. Leslie Toliver, a former race car driver, eagerly joined the all-volunteer force for a chance to fight with his own people against those who sought to murder them. The war is over, but now they are trying to save refugees and take vengeance on Nazis hiding out or fleeing the country. And there's a young Jewish girl they rescued who's grown up and fighting a new battle against Arabs and British colonists, for a homeland in Palestine. Dead Reckoning, 2021....More.

ILLUSTRATORS QUARTERLY SPECIAL #11 The Art of Frank Bellamy
Limited, 1000. Massive 144 pages. Highly Recommended. Frank Bellamy is an artist whose work reflects much of the century that he inhabited. Born a year before the end of the First World War, his art documented an age of conflict, exploration, technological advancement, and social change, one which could envisage worlds as yet undiscovered as well as worlds long departed deep beneath the sands of time. What makes Bellamy's story so particular is his development into a pre-eminent graphic artist. Robin Hood, King Arthur, Heros the Spartan, Montgomery, Churchill, Fraser of Africa, Thunderbirds and Garth are only his most famous works. There is much more. Book Palace, 2021. ...More.

The first-ever book on this hugely talented artist. Our Highest Recommendation. By Roger Hill. Introduction by Roy Thomas.

He perfected his art style on early stories of Dr. Voodoo, Zorro The Mystery Man, Bulletman, Spy Smasher, (all for Fawcett), The Green Lama and, finally, his crowning achievement, Captain Marvel Jr. Raboy went on to illustrate the Flash Gordon Sunday newspaper strip, and left behind a legacy of meticulous perfection.
