TERRY AND THE PIRATES The Master Collection Volume 1
Collects all dailies and Sundays from the strip's beginning in 1934 through the end of 1935. Highly Recommended. Suprise! While they last, this is packaged with Vol 13 at no extra cost!!

The Sundays are presented with unmatched color fidelity and larger than they have ever before been reprinted — an unparalleled upgrade that no Terry fan can afford to pass up.

Don't miss this new mammoth second collection. Super-hero teams had been around since the 1940s, but Thor, Ant Man, the Wasp, Hulk, and Iron Man broke new ground when they joined forces to form the Avengers in 1963. They not only fought together, they occasionally fought each other!

Brand-new adventures presented in Sunday Page, landscape format, collected from ongoing new adventures on ERB.com's website.

In the first of two adventures, Tarzan searches for a lost Jane and their friend Paul D'Arnot.

IRONCASTLE Signed/Limited Hardcover
Almost Gone! Signed by Stableford, Carey, and Eckert & limited, 200! Recommended. By J.-H. Rosny and Philip José Farmer. Somewhere in the unexplored heart of Africa, a part of this Earth had been taken over by an intelligence from outer space. Such was the message that reached the explorer Hareton Ironcastle, member of the famous Baltimore Gun Club. In that hidden and transformed valley would now be found monsters and pre-humans not to be seen anywhere else. Such a challenge could not be ignored—The account of Ironcastle’s expedition of daring but inexperienced amateurs became one of the classic novels of the French writer, J.-H. Rosny, who was a contemporary of Verne, Wells, and ER Burroughs. Here the story is translated and retold by Philip José Farmer. Meteor House, 2022. Out of print....More.

By Pat Shand, Joe Brusha et al. Art by Sergio Arino and Julius Abrera.

Highly Recommended. By David Hasteda. Art by Ludivic Chesnot. In June 1962, bank robber Frank Lee Morris did the unthinkable and escaped from Alcatraz prison — and disappeared! This graphic novel imagines what Frank Lee did next to stay one step ahead of the manhunt for himself and his two comrades.

JOSEPH SMITH AND THE MORMONS
Decades in the making and already generating advance praise, an original graphic novel biography about the life of Joseph Smith, founder of the Church of Latter-Day Saints. Author and illustrator Noah Van Sciver, who was raised a Mormon, covers one of history’s most controversial figures, who founded a religion which is practiced by millions. We learn about the anti-Mormon threats and violence which caused his followers to move from New York to Ohio, Smith’s receiving the divine commandment of plural marriage, his imprisonment, his announcement to run for president of the United States, and his ultimate murder by an angry mob in 1844 at the young age of 38! Abrams ComicArts, 2022....More.

Item Code: JOSSH
Hard Cover, 6x10, 464pg, Full Color
$29.99
While it's very unlikely many of us, myself included, might take the time to read an entire prose novel about Joseph Smith, Frank Lee (Escape from Alcatraz), Janis Joplin, Georgia O’Keefe, the Napoleonic War, or Hitler’s last days, I really enjoy graphic novels about these subjects! It’s always unique seeing how different creators interpret these subjects into comic book form. I nearly always come away having learned a great deal and with a new perspective on subjects both familiar and entirely new to me. – Bud

R/EVOLUTION THE ART OF JON FOSTER Hardcover
Closeout Price! Recommended. Edited by Cathy and Arnie Fenner, and Irene Gallo. Jon Foster creates irresistibly dark demimondes populated by retro robots, Star Wars villains, and creepy goth-inspired creatures that recall the work of James Gurney (Dinotopia), Rick Berry, H. R. Giger, and past masters of the grotesque like Goya. Yet his work is inimitably his own, from the noirish lighting, off-kilter angles, and kinetic sense of movement to his singular technique of starting a project with oils and then scanning it into a computer to add more startling visual effects. Underwood Books, 2006. Out of Print....More.

Item Code: REVOH
Hard Cover, 9x12, 128pg, Full Color
$35.00

Sylvia Kristel was an amazing beautiful Scandinavian actress who made her mark starring in x-rated films such as Emmanuelle, a huge hit when it first appeared. She went on to do many more x-rated films as well as more conventional action and horror work.

THE ART OF RON COBB
Recommended. By Jacob Johnston. During his sixty-year career, Ron Cobb started out as a radical underground comics cartoonist, but his far larger claim to fame was his concept art for some of the biggest films in sci-fi cinema. From designing spaceships for Alien, Dark Star, and Firefly and the Delorean from Back to the Future to character designs for Conan the Barbarian and creature concepts for Star Wars and The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Ron has left a legacy of artwork behind to inspire future generations of concept artists. Includes exclusive insights from the talent he worked with: James Cameron, Joe Johnston, Robert Zemeckis, Bob Gale, and Nick Castle. Titan, 2022. Due: Aug. ...More.

GIL KANE'S THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN Artisan Edition
Highly Recommended. Entirely from the original art: each page scanned in color.

News & Notes

 

More Passings

I’m sad to say that Tim Sale has passed away. He was born in 1956 and left us on June 16. Tim was an Eisner Award-winning comics artist, best known for his work on the DC Comics characters Batman and Superman and for influencing depictions of the Caped Crusader in numerous films.

RC Harvey, comic artist and author of many books ABOUT comics history, has also passed away, on July 7. He was born in 1937. We handled virtually all of his books, just a few of which were The Art of the Comic Book (1994), Accidental Ambassador Gordo (2000), The Life and Art of Murphy Anderson (2003), and Meanwhile: A Biography of Milton Caniff (2007), a massive bio to end bios on Caniff. He did a charming bookplate for us and was a longtime customer and supporter of ours. We’ll miss him.

Tarzan New Editions

ERB Inc had supply issues with the latest set of four Tarzan editions, #13-16. I’m happy to say we have filled all backorders now, but have just a smattering (2-4 copies) of three of the four new titles. We’re promised more within a week or two. [ERBA05P. $119.80, $109] or individually $29.95 ea.

Big Big Overstreet Priceguide Allocated

We’ve been informed that due to damage, Gemstone will be allocating copies of the Diamond Comic Distributors 40th Anniversary Ltd. Ed of the Overstreet Price Guide. However, it looks like we got lucky and got our entire shipment. It will be out of print while more copies are printed [BIG52D. $54.95, $49.95). The alternate Big Big edition with the Black Hood cover is ok. All the Overstreet Priceguide variant editions are expected to arrive next week. Here’s the complete selection.

At The Earth's Core Deluxe Signed Edition

From the publisher: “The good news is that we are in the final stages of production at our bindery in San Antonio. This set is a work of art and the printing process may never be repeated. Hand printed sheets are being folded and gathered and color plates are being tipped in. All five contributors have signed the limitation page. The sigs [signatures] will be Smyth-sewn, cased in dark blue leather bindings stamped in gold, hand numbered and wrapped in a dust jacket. Inlay illustrations have been applied to the clamshell case, the eleven items of the Collectors Archive are being hand assembled and the printer plates are ready to be inserted into the foam base of each case. The latest projection is that we'll be shipping the books out end of August.-- just about a month from now. Thank you for patience. This has been our most ambitious project and this is clearly the most elaborate ERB publication ever produced. “
