JOHN SEVERIN TWO-FISTED COMIC BOOK ARTIST Signed
Our Highest Recommendation. Exclusive full color, double-sided bookplate signed by authors Greg Biga and Jon B. Cooke. A spirited biography of one of the most prolific creators in the history of American comics! From a start in 1947 at the Simon & Kirby shop, John Severin co-created the legendary Western strip American Eagle, and became an EC Comics mainstay, working with Harvey Kurtzman on MAD and Two-Fisted Tales. In addition to a 40 year association with Cracked magazine, his pivotal Marvel Comics work included an extended run on The Hulk, and teaming with sister Marie Severin to create the definitive comics version of King Kull. TwoMorrows, 2021....More.

Item Code: JOHSEH
Hard Cover, 8x11, 160pg, Partial Color
$39.95

This was a long time coming, but well worth the wait. It comes with one of my all-time favorite bookplates which we made up for it. Don’t miss this.

Also don’t miss TwoMorrows’ Reed Crandall: Illustrator of the Comics (with bookplate) and Mac Raboy: Master of the Comics. Both are written by Roger Hill and have my highest recommendation.

 


TOPS The Complete Collection of Charles Biro's Visionary 1949 Comic Book Series
Collects Tops #1-2, 1949. Oversized 11x14. Our Highest Recommendation. The extremely rare two-issue adult comics experiment created by Charles Biro and Lev Gleason Publishing in 1949. Some of the best craftsmen working in comics at that time drew these pulpy, sexy, and melodramatic stories: Dan Barry, George Tuska, Reed Crandall (pre-EC crime tales), Bob Fuji et al. Also articles by Dashiell Hammet and actor Melvyn Douglas. Profusely illustrated and informative Introduction by editor and historian Michael T. Gilbert (with Bill Spicer) and a whopping 27 beautifully illustrated Biographical & End Notes by Gilbert and Roger Hill! Fantagraphics, 2022. ...More.

YOSHITOSHI One Hundred Aspects of the Moon
Highly Recommended. Edited by Bas Verberk. Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839-92) was the last great woodblock print master of the ukiyo-e tradition. With his distinctive dramatic line and use of gorgeous colors, Yoshitoshi was soon recognized by his contemporaries as the most outstanding woodblock artist of his time. This is his greatest achievement. The 100 works here brings to life the history and mythology of ancient Japan—with the moon as part of each. Minor nudity. Outstanding work! Walther König, Köln. 2022....More.

Warehouse Find – Publisher File Copies

 


WILL EISNER'S HOW TO AVOID DEATH & TAXES AND LIVE FOREVER
Warehouse Find. First printing from 1975. Recommended. By Will Eisner. The famed creator of The Spirit and the inventor of the graphic novel produced and self-published a series of "Gleeful Guides" in the 1970s that are little known to most of his fans. A tongue-in-cheek look at the only two subjects which Benjamin Franklin said were certain in life. Filled with great Will Eisner art throughout. Created in 1975, three years before his seminal A Contract With God changed the comics medium forever. Poorhouse Press, 1975....More.

HARVEY KURTZMAN'S JUNGLE BOOK
Warehouse Find. Third printing from 1989. Highly Recommended. Introduction by Art Spiegelman. We won't mince words. This is simply one of the most influential comic creations of all time. Created in 1959 by MAD-founder Harvey Kurtzman after two crushing failures (Trump and Humbug), Jungle Book was created for paperback book pioneer Ian Ballantine. It was the very first paperback of all original comics and one of the very earliest graphic novels. Four stories, each parodying an element of popular culture: TV shows Peter Gunn and Gunsmoke; the (comics) publishing industry; and the deep south of the 1950s. Goodman Beaver appearance.Kitchen Sink Press, 1989. ...More.

HARVEY KURTZMAN THE GRASSHOPPER AND THE ANT
Warehouse Find from 2002. Recommended. Introduction by Denis Kitchen.In 1960 the late comics genius Harvey Kurtzman created a marvelous beatnik take on the ancient Aesop fable. The comic story, in many ways, reflected his own attraction to the beat movement and his internal ant vs. grasshopper struggle. The only previous appearance of this poignant story was decades ago in Esquire magazine, where the panels were reproduced small and blurry. The story remained forgotten and unknown, even to most Kurtzman fans. Denis Kitchen Publishing, 2002....More.

Literally. A covert security force was quickly assembled to patrol the Hellplane and ensure that none of the nastier denizens made their way Earthside — such as demons!

THE LIONS OF LENINGRAD
Recommended. By Jean-Claude van Rijckeghem. Art by Thomas Du Caju.When the German army begins its invasion of Soviet Russia, four children are evacuated to the countryside: Maxim, the son of a senior Communist Party official; Pyotr, the son of writers; Anka, the daughter of a concert violinist; and Grigory, the son of a pilot that was executed for insubordination. The farm where they are staying is attacked and the train that is supposed to take them to safety is blown to bits by German planes. The four children must fight through enemy lines but that is only the beginning of one of the most prolonged and destructive sieges in history.

LIFE OF CHE An Impressionistic Biography
By Héctor Germán Oesterheld. Art by Alberto Breccia and Enrique Breccia. One of the most anticipated volumes in the Alberto Breccia Library. Originally released as part of a graphic biography series in January 1969, it came out in Argentina only a year after Ernesto “Che” Guevara had died and reached an audience beyond comics readers. In the 1970s, the military government raided its publisher, destroying the means to reprint the book. The comic was presumed to be lost to history, until a publisher in Spain restored it in 1987. It has never been translated into English until now. Fantagraphics, 2022....More.

News & Notes

 

Serpieri/Lo Scarabeo News

Our pallet arrived this week. Watch the New Arrivals for relistings of the Druuna series, the Serpieri Eros and West books, and new card and tarot sets by Serpieri and by Milo Manara. Full listings will appear in the next two emails.

Illustrator’s Quarterly Glamour Special mis-bound

We’ve found several copies (but not all) with a repeated set of pages replacing the proper set. If you bought one from us, look to see pages 133-140. If you find 117-124 repeated, contact us and we’ll make it right. We’re down to 12 copies; this is being reprinted in June but it will be August until we have more.

The IQ ERB Special was retitled a Tarzan special because so much of it is devoted to the Ape-Man and, specifically, to artist Joe Jusko’s work. We’re featuring this on our next catalog’s cover, using Tarzan and the Ant-Men, which was done as a cover for the new ERB Inc Tarzan editions. It’s a great piece, and Joe was pleased to see it featured on our cover! We’re essentially out of copies but I’m hoping our reorder comes in soon…

Flesk News

Upcoming are books by Brad Kunkle, Arthur Adams, and Rachel and Terry Dodson. The Art of Franklin Booth ended a very successful Kickstarter campaign and we expect to see copies in August or September. We already pre-sold 20% of our allocated Publisher Hardcover Editions.

ANY GUN CAN PLAY The Essential Guide to Euro-Westerns
New edition. Highly Recommened. By Kevin Grant. Foreword by Franco Nero. The full, vibrant history of the Euro-Western. The success of Sergio Leone's Man with No Name trilogy in the 60s sparked a gold rush, as a legion of European film-makers, many of them sharing the get-rich-quick mentality of Leone's mercenary anti-heroes, created the wildest Westerns ever made. Cynical and stylish, bloody and baroque, Euro-Westerns replaced straight-shooting sheriffs and courageous cowboys with amoral adventurers, whose murderous methods would shock the heroes of Hollywood Westerns.

Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in the pages of Fantastic Four, here are the first amazing issues of the Surfer's own title, with Lee's socially conscious writing and Kirby's mind-blowing cosmic concepts — joined by the one and only John Buscema!

For the third part of their Long Halloween trilogy, these two fine creators focused on Batman's most compelling sometimes-enemy, sometimes-ally, full-time love.

TOPS The Complete Collection of Charles Biro's Visionary 1949 Comic Book Series
Collects Tops #1-2, 1949. Our Highest Recommendation. Edited by Michael Gilbert. The extremely rare, oversized experimental comic created by Charles Biro and Lev Gleason Publishing. Some of the best craftsmen working in comics at that time drew these pulpy, sexy, and melodramatic stories: Dan Barry, George Tuska, and others. It includes two stunning pre-EC crime tales illustrated by Reed Crandall, reminiscent of his Crime SuspenStories work. Introduction by the editor, historian and cartoonist Michael T. Gilbert, as well as several other essays providing background on the creation of the series and the publisher, editors, and cartoonists who realized it. Fantagraphics, 2022. Due: Apr. ...More.

MR. MONSTER The Original Adventures of Doc Stearne Signed
Signed full color bookplate with new work by Michael T. Gilbert, limited to 300! Our Highest Recommendation. Mr. Monster was one of the many heroes created during the Golden Age of Canadian comics. But Michael T. Gilbert updated this same Mr. Monster in the 1980s, and we've all seen what fun he had with the character. This new collection includes the two original 1940s Mr. Monster stories plus the earlier Doc Stearne stories and covers, all by creator Fred Kelly. Plus never-before seen art, an interview with Kelly, a new afterword by Gilbert and an original pin-up gallery from over two-dozen contemporary Canadian artists! Raid, 2021. ...More.

MICHAEL T. GILBERT'S THE COMPLETE WRAITH! Signed
Signed full color Mr. Monster Bookplate. Highly Recommended. The Wraith was a cult classic during the early days of indie comics in the 1970s, and a training ground for Michael T. Gilbert's later work on Elric and Mr. Monster. Created as spoof of Will Eisner's Spirit, Wraith fans included Eisner himself. He wrote "The Wraith has a lot of originality. Your style and approach are very vigorous!" The Wraith appeared in all six issues of Star*Reach's Quack! Here is every story, scanned from the original art, plus a wealth of unpublished art and photos, and an intro by Mr. Monster himself! Gilbert's commentary provides a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the 1970s comic book scene. Clover Press, 2020....More.

THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN Omnibus Volume 1
New printing. Our Highest Recommendation. Collects Amazing Fantasy #15, Amazing Spider-Man #1-38, Annual #1-2 & more, 1961-64. In 1962, in the pages of a series slated for cancellation, Stan Lee and Steve Ditko created one of the most enduring icons in American popular media: the amazing Spider-Man! Turning the concept of a super hero on its head, they imbued the young, guilt-ridden Peter Parker with the fantastic powers of an arachnid and the fantastic pressures of an everyday teenager. The combination was pure magic. In 40 issues of web-slinging, wisecracking wonderment, Lee and Ditko built the foundation for decades of Spidey spectaculars: girl trouble, bill trouble, bully trouble, the Daily Bugle, and a cast of friends, family and foes unlike any other! Now, experience the entire Lee/Ditko Spider-Man run in one gorgeous volume! Marvel, 2022. Due: Jun. ...More.

News & Notes

 

Underwood Books File Copies, Take Two

Tim Underwood has lived here in Grass Valley for a couple decades now. You may remember we made a huge deal with him for his publisher file copies a few years ago; we still have a handful of Frazetta Deluxe Editions, Ilene Meyer, back numbers of Spectrum and so on. You can see them here.

Tim is moving down to the San Francisco area and he and I cleared out the very last of the books he had put aside up here. Some nice surprises include deluxe editions of Jon Foster and John Jude Palencar, some signed Jack Vance and Robert Silverberg editions, a Philip K. Dick collection, a few signed deluxe Repent Harlequin by Harlan Ellison, some previously sold out Spectrums, Deluxe Editions of Balook by Piers Anthony and Patrick Woodroffe, trade editions of Comic Book Rebels, Frazetta Icon softcovers and Legacy hardcovers…

As we did last time, we'll price these reasonably since we have multiple copies of most titles; cases of a few. Tim also had a few items from other publishers, dating back to the 1970s… For single copies like this, contact Anne and see our other website budplantandhutchisonbooks.com.

Book Fairs & Rare Books

The Sacramento Book Show is this weekend. We hope to see some of you there.

Coming up in May will be a small but intimate Edgar Rice Burroughs show in Folsom, Calif, May 12-15. We'll have a large space. Details to follow…

We'll be at Rose City Book Show in Portland Oregon in June 17-18.

My partner Anne just sent out her once-a-month email of new arrivals for our sister business, Bud Plant and Hutchison books. Click here to see our new landing page to learn more.
