WASN'T THE DEPRESSION TERRIBLE? Recommended. Issued in 1934, in the midst of the Great Depression, these cartoons (by Reuben Award winner Otto Soglow, creator of The Little King) gives us an insider's view of that difficult time. Even the title is a sign of the moment; in 1932, the Republican Party tried to convince people that, no matter what they saw around them, the Depression was already in the past, putting "Wasn't the depression terrible?" in big letters in newspaper ads and on billboards along commuter corridors in the northeast. (This failed to convince the Depression to go away.) About Comics, 2019....More. Item Code: WASDE Soft Cover, 9x12, 115pg, b&w $9.99 |

KYOSAI The Israel Goldman Collection The Japanese artist Kawanabe Kyosai (1831-89) saw Japan transform itself from a feudal country into a modern state. The turbulent times in which he lived are reflected in his riotous images, in which skeletons, demons and ghosts rub shoulders with classically rendered ukiyo-e courtesans. Among his most charming and inventive works are his brilliant depictions of animals — crows, frogs and elephants, among many others — which often stand in for political figures of the day. Royal Academy of Arts, 2022. Due: May. ...More. Item Code: KYOSIH Hard Cover, 10x12, 192pg, Partial Color $49.95 |

THE QUESTION Omnibus By Dennis O'Neil and Denys Cowan Volume 1 Collects The Question #1-27 & three annuals, 1987-89. JJust a few short years after co-creating Spider-Man, artist and writer Steve Ditko created the Question, who worked as an investigative journalist in public and a vigilante in secret. Two decades later, writer Dennis O'Neil and artist Denys Cowan unleashed their acclaimed reinvention of the Question for the late 1980s, coinciding with one of the most creative periods in comics. While retaining familiar elements of the character — including his faceless mask — O'Neil and Cowan also imbued Vic Sage with a Zen philosophy and forced him to ask vital questions about his methods employed while fighting crime in the corrupt town of Hub City.

Guest Log In Welcome to anyone who's joined us from the EC Facebook page. We got some feedback about getting into our site, so here's a brief reminder. If you established an account with us before 2014, a software switchover means you need to create a new account. And MORE IMPORTANT, if you use GUEST to create an order online, we cannot by law keep ANY of your information. That means you do NOT have an account, we can't tell you about past orders and you will NOT receive a print catalog every two months. We encourage all customers to create an account to get all the benefits of working with us. |
