MAGIC MIRROR OF M.C. ESCHER
Bargain Priced New Edition of the 1978 biography and art book. Highly Recommended. By Bruno Ernst. Long before the first computer-generated 3-D images, Maurits Cornelis Escher was a master of the third dimension. His lithograph Magic Mirror dates as far back as 1946. By taking such a title for the book, mathematician Bruno Ernst stressed the enrapturing spell Escher's work invariably casts on those who see it. Ernst visited Escher every week for a year, systematically talking through his entire oeuvre with him. Their discussions resulted in a friendship that gave Ernst intimate access to the life and conceptual world of Escher. Ernst's account was meticulously scrutinized and made accurate by the artist himself. This is perhaps the best book ever published on Escher, and certainly a great value in this new edition. Taschen, 2022....More.

Comics & Graphic Novels

 


KAFKA BY CRUMB
Highly Recommended. David Zane David Zane Mairowitz's brilliant text and comics storytelling of Robert Crumb (himself no stranger to self-loathing and alienation), penetrate the essence of Kafka and provide insight beyond the cliche "Kafkaesque," peering through Kafka's glass wall like no other book before it. Alienated from his roots, his family, his surroundings, Kafka created a unique literary language in which to hide away, transforming himself into a cockroach, an ape, a dog, a mole or a circus artiste who starves himself to death in front of admiring crowds! Fantagraphics, 2007....More.

New from About Comics

 


CHERRY SUNDAE The Complete Collection
Recommended. Before Pete Tumlinson drew the early adventures of Marvel's Kid Colt, Outlaw, he created this wild romp of a newspaper strip that was published in papers throughout the United States as an advertising premium, once each week. Cherry is a comely carrot-top car-hop at the local drive in who finds herself being courted by two young men. They battle for her attention and affection... on the land, in the water, and in the skies above! And her girlfriend also vies for their affection, much like Betty and Veronica. But this was a bit more racy with some wonderful, leggy panels and low-cut outfits. Note: reproduction quality varies. With no source for good proofs, the publisher's source is printed strips. About Comics, 2021....More.

AUNT'S IN YOUR PANTS Memoirs of a Dirty Old Woman
Recommended. The great Sergio Aragonés, in the early years of his fifty-plus-and-still-counting career at Mad Magazine, also created this book of cartoons focused on a horny grandmother, a woman who does not let things like appropriateness and consent get in her way. It's brilliantly funny Aragones on a single-panel collection that most of us have never before seen. It would have fit right in to the 1970s National Lampoon. About Comics, 2020. Mature Readers....More.

BOOTSIE'S BIG '50s A Dark Laughter Collection
Highly Recommended. "Negro America's Favorite Cartoonist". That's what Langston Hughes called Ollie Harrington, whose cartoons and comic strips were a staple of America's Black newspapers for decades starting in the 1930s. In his single-panel series "Dark Laughter," Harrington brought out the vibrancy of Harlem life in its day, while serving some cutting looks at the politics of the time. At the heart of "Dark Laughter" is Bootsie, a cunning, conning, girl-chasing ne'er-do-well who is nonetheless beloved in his Harlem community... if often reluctantly. Bootsie is both the victim of the world's troubles and a frequent cause of them for others. Excellent artwork and mostly superior (and larger size) reproduction than Bootsie's War Years. About Comics, 2021....More.

Item Code: BOOTB
Soft Cover, 8x11, 156pg, b&w
$18.00
 


BOOTSIE'S WAR YEARS
Forward by Qiana Whitted. Recommended. Bootsie was a liar, a womanizer, a layabout, a scammer, a cheat, and an all around disreputable dude. And one of the best-known and beloved Black syndicated strips ever created. For the first time, 150 "Dark Laughter" cartoons from 1941 through 1946, during which time Bootsie goes from being a draft evader to a draftee, an enlisted man, a serviceman on the ground in Europe, and ultimately to a veteran for the winning side. In these, cartoonist Ollie Harrington's lively art captures the rich reality of Bootsie's world while telling tales that are sometimes joyous, sometimes very harsh, like the world itself. About Comics, 2022....More.

Item Code: BOOTW
Soft Cover, 6x9, 162pg, b&w
$18.00
Bootsie creator Ollie Harrington is currently the subject of an exhibit at the Billy Ireland Museum in Columbus, Ohio.

1914-1919 THROUGH THE EYES OF FORTUNINO MATANIA
Highly Recommended. Edited by Peter Richardson. In August 1914 much of Europe was pitched into a war which would eclipse all others in terms of its industrialized ferocity. With photography and film recording still in their infancy, much of the news was relayed through wartime illustrators. Preeminent among them was Fortunino Matania, The Sphere's artist-on-the-spot for events ranging from coronations to disasters. Sent to a variety of Fronts to cover the conflict, his illustrations created a gripping testimony. Over 150 paintings and drawings of the World War 1 conflict depict all its horrors and special moments.Book Palace, 2022. Due: Jun. ...More.

By Geoff Johns and Gary Frank. Doomsday Clock finally gets the Absolute treatment! Dr. Manhattan, a near-omnipotent being from the Watchmen universe, has been using his powers to rewrite the DC Universe — reshaping some heroes' histories, erasing other heroes altogether, and playing with the fates of the good and evil alike.

MARVEL MASTERWORKS DAREDEVIL Volume 16
Collects Daredevil #173-181, 1981-82 & 4 more comics. Recommended. In issue after issue, Frank Miller redefined the Man Without Fear with work that stands atop the peak of comic book storytelling. When Miller introduced Elektra, readers could not get enough of the assassin from Matt Murdock's past. In this volume, her saga ratchets up as she and Daredevil fight the unstoppable ninjas of The Hand. Miller also introduces Stick, the gruff mentor who trained a young Murdock and who now must help him regain his radar sense before the Kingpin closes in. Also a deadly reckoning for Ben Urich and with Bullseye that ends in one of the most scintillating moments in comics history. Plus: A pair of essential What If? rarities and an Elektra solo mission!
