MARVEL COMICS LIBRARY Fantastic Four Volume 1 Famous First Edition, individually numbered from 5000. Recommended. This enormous XXL volume collects their first 20 stories reproduced oversized, and documents how it became in Lee's words "the world's greatest comic magazine." Lots of original art pages are here, the full story of Stan & Jack's creation of the team, synopsis of each issue and more bonus features. The stories themselves are printed on off-white paper nicely duplicating the original experience of the comic, complete with every ad and letters page. All printed nearly twice the size of the original comics. Taschen America, 2022. Rush Service and International shipping would require an additional charge....More. Item Code: MARF01H Hard Cover, 11x16, 700pg, Full Color |
|
All of our copies contain a tipped-in limitation page, identifying
this copy as a Famous First Edition: This copy is number xx from a
first printing of 5000 copies. Printed and bound in Italy. The copy I
opened was #462, so I think we have relatively low numbers since we
ordered early. While supply lasts. See News & Notes for more details.
Also available in matching Marvel Comics Library XXL format: The
Avengers [MARSA01H. |

THE WORLD OF TONY MEEUWISSEN A Life in Illustration and Graphic Art Highly Recommended. Tony Meeuwissen’s lively and engaging artwork has appeared in books and playing cards, magazine covers and postage stamps. Born in London in 1938, by the age of thirty he was a successful freelancer with commissions from Penguin Books, covers for Radio Times, designing stamps for the Royal Mail, illustrating feature articles for the London Sunday Times Magazine, and designing card sets and books. In this absorbing memoir, the artist writes about his life at the drawing board and delves into the inspiration and ideas behind his imagery. Paul Holberton Publishing, 2022....More.

INCOGNITO Strange Neighbors and Distant Relations Signed Signed! Highly Recommended. Fantasy artist Ed Binkley's fascination with stories of goblins, fairies, dragons, ogres, werewolves, imps, banshees, elves and other eerie things, along with his admiration of portraiture, nineteenth century photography and daguerreotypes, provided the inspiration for his bizarre portraits here of dark, otherworldly humans and creatures. Each character contains exquisite detail, displaying a distinct personality, some abundantly dark and creepy, some humorous, almost joyful, but always allowing viewers to fill in back-stories using their own imagination. Ed Binkley, 2022....More. Item Code: INCOGS Soft Cover, 9x12, 80pg, Full Color $35.00 |

After the Greek tragedy of The Metabarons, Alexandro Jodorowsky returns to his biblical roots with this quest reminiscent of the story of Moses and set on a galactic scale. Its characters and the theme of virtual reality are tailor-made for artist Zoran Janjetov (Before The Incal), who finds in Jodorowsky a perfect collaborator. Albino, hero of this space odyssey, remembers here his childhood, his apprenticeship, and the big and small battles he had to fight to fulfill his ambitions in a universe where technological advances are paradoxically matched only by the cruelty and the barbarism of the forces controlling it.

Writer Billy Tucci, along with artists Maria Laura Sanapo and Edu Menna, delves into the eponymous deep dark secret of the Nazi regime during the Second World War. Through the 1940s, several Nazi concentration camps featured brothels wherein Jewish women were forced to work as prostitutes for soldiers. This rarely discussed, dark tragedy of history remains starkly relevant today. Now, Miss Fury and her team of Black Furies have discovered this cruel phenomenon — and they're going to kick some Nazi ass, in an all-female style mission of revenge. Dynamite, 2022....More.
