MICKEY MOUSE ZOMBIE COFFEE
Our Highest Recommendation. I love this! It's the old Mickey in a 1930s-style adventure told in a daily comic strip format but in full, rich, warm colors. -Bud. Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Horace Horsecollar, and Clarabelle Cow go camping to forget the Great Depression. But when they return to Mouseton, they find shady real-estate developer Rock Fuller destroying it to build a golf course— with the help of an army of "zombies," transformed from normal citizens with a magic drink! What does Mickey's old enemy Pegleg Pete have to do with this evil scheme— and can Mickey trip it up? Fantagraphics, 2022....More.

SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN Facsimile Edition #1
From 1976, the first issue of the 2nd Spidey title. By Gerry Conway, Sal Buscema and Mike Esposito. By the mid-1970s, Spidey fans could thrill to their favorite hero's escapades in "Amazing Spider-Man", his high-octane encounters with other super-types in "Marvel Team-Up," his all-ages adventures in "Spidey Super Stories" and reprints of classic stories in "Marvel Tales" — and still it wasn't enough! Such was the clamor that a second solo title debuted with a focus on the man beneath the mask: the always popular Peter Parker! But fear not, there's plenty of costumed action in this frantic first issue, co-starring the deadly Tarantula. Marvel, 2022. ...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.

This new collection includes the two original 1940s Mr. Monster stories plus the earlier Doc Stearne stories and covers, all by creator Fred Kelly.

HEROES OF THE HOME FRONT Bell Features Artists of WWII
Almost Gone! Back in stock, very limited supply. Highly Recommended. By Ivan Kocmarek. Forewords by Gerald Lazare and John Bell. A massive 300 page book including 150 full-page reproductions of original art pages, plus backstories and special interviews with the artists. Canada banned American comics during the Second World War, precipitating an explosion of homegrown comics from young publishers and creators. One of these was Bell Features, and it put out comics touting the exploits of heroes like Nelvana of the Northern Lights, the first Canadian super-heroine, who preceded even Wonder Woman. And Johnny Canuck, Speed Savage, The Brain, Nitro, The Dreamer, Doc Stearne (yes, of Mr. Monster fame), and Super Commando. North End Books, 2018. Out of Print....More.

Alley Oop

 


ALLEY OOP ON THE PLANET OF DELFON 1978 By Dave Graue
Recommended. First the wrap-up of an adventure in ancient Rome, when our adventures introduce gunfire to the Roman legions. Then a return to prehistoric times for a quick adventure, and off to a sci-fi adventure...our time-traveling caveman and Oola are both stranded on Delfon, a planet of lizard warriors and living, talking vegetables!

Art & Photography

 


FLEXIBLE The Art of Yo Shimizu
Highly Recommended. The first collection of Yo Shimizu's work, featuring 160 breathtakingly beautiful and overwhelmingly fantastic landscapes and characters, body armor and creatures. The book introduces a wide variety of Shimizu's work to date, from fully-realized digital art to his prelim landscapes, hand-drawn in water color. These latter works remind us of Miyazaki storyboards. A bonus feature on the making of the cover illustration is included with bilingual Japanese and English text, giving readers a glimpse into the techniques that Shimizu uses when drawing.

REAL PHOTO POSTCARDS Pictures from a Changing Nation
Recommended. By Linda Klich and Benjamin Weiss. The ubiquity of photography and social media today makes it hard to imagine a time when it was not possible for ordinary people to take their own pictures and send them with short messages over long distances. But it was revolutionary when the Eastman Kodak Company, in 1903, unveiled a new postcard camera that produced a postcard-size negative that could print directly onto a blank card. Suddenly almost anyone, amateurs and entrepreneurial photographers alike, could take a picture—of neighbors at home and at work, local celebrations and parades, newsworthy disasters, sightseeing trips—and turn it into a postcard. MFA Publications, 2022. ...More.

CULT GIRLS
Recommended. By Natalie Grand and Nikki Powers. Art by Cassandre Bolan. "This beautifully illustrated graphic novel pertains to any cult. Nicely and clearly written, it's a good, if harrowing story." -Trina Robbins. Based on a true story of Talia and her friends as they struggle with growing suspicions that their faith is a patriarchal religious cult. Written by the wife of comics superfan Alex Grand (comicbookhistorians.com). It's a story of tremendous courage as these four girls free themselves — told through a feminist lens with cautionary humor. Talia discusses the adversity faced as a young female raised in a cult that values its men over its women, and trying to find herself in the midst of severe peer pressure. Rosa talks about how she was forced into a loveless marriage and struggles to find the means to escape. Sandy and Rochelle hope to fade out of their elder's attention while still trying to maintain a successful marriage. These four women were born, raised and married in the cult and they each have a different path out. Note: corners very slightly bumped. Comic Book Historians, 2022....More.

Barks Back in Print

 

Fantagraphics announced new printings of these four books which have been listed as out of print for some time. However…they sent our first order filling it with the ORIGINAL editions, first printings from 2012 to 2021, and instead of $35 each, as announced, they’re still the original prices of $28.99 and $29.99. So…grab them now and save a bit and get first printings. Very limited supply on each.



WALT DISNEY'S DONALD DUCK The Pixilated Parrot
Collects Four Color #275, 282, 291, 300, 356, Vacation Parade #1 & more. 1950-51. Our Highest Recommendation. Carl Barks delivers another superb collection of clever plot twists, laugh-out-loud comedy, and all-around cartooning brilliance. Donald gives Uncle Scrooge a parrot for his birthday but the feathered troublemaker escapes with the combination to Scrooge's safe holding "ninety tons of money." Then, Donald and the boys are shanghaied by a mysterious stranger, who whisks them off to face perils in the desert in "Ancient Persia," where they uncover a lost city — and its reconstituted inhabitants! And Barks cuts loose from his regular panel designs to deliver one of his finest stories, "Vacation Time" (it has its own Wikipedia page). Fantagraphics, 2015....More.

WALT DISNEY'S DONALD DUCK A CHRISTMAS FOR SHACKTOWN
Collects Four Color #408, 422, WDC&S #135-144, 1951-52. Our Highest Recommendation. This again focuses on the early 1950s, universally considered one of Carl Barks's very peak periods. Originally published in 1951, "A Christmas for Shacktown" is one of Barks's masterpieces: A rare 32-pager that stays within the confines of Duckburg, featuring a storyline in which the Duck family works hard to raise money to throw a Christmas party for the poor children of the city's slums (depicted by Barks with surprisingly Dickensian grittiness), and climaxing in one of the most memorable images Barks ever created, the terrifying bottomless pit that swallows up all of Scrooge's money.

Uncle Scrooge takes Donald and the nephews on a perilous trek in search of the fabled seven cities of gold! This is the Scrooge story famous for providing Steven Spielberg and George Lucas with inspiration for parts of Raiders of the Lost Ark! James Bond fans might recognize in "The Mysterious Stone Ray" a gimmick that was later used in Goldfinger — Uncle Scrooge's pores fill with gold dust from his money bin. It makes him ill so he goes on vacation, which turns into a rescue mission for a sailor stranded on an island with some very mysterious baddies. Fantagraphics, 2020. ...More.

Donald and his nephews visit an Old West ghost town that was suddenly abandoned — now it's haunted! Then, Donald is made station master for a tiny out-of-the-way railroad station, but his first delivery is 10,000 baby turkeys; and they're all hungry!
