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.

All printed nearly twice the size of the original comics. Taschen America, 2022. Rush Service and International shipping would require an additional charge....More.

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 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.

POGO Volume 8 Hijinks from the Horn of Plenty
1963-64. Highly Recommended. Walt Kelly's newspaper comic strip Pogo was a platform for Kelly to express political satire and commentary via a wildly entertaining, motley group of swamp critters.

But the strip is also a joyous, poignant, beautifully drawn, and occasionally profound work of 20th-century popular culture. Fantagraphics, 2022....More.

Graphic Novels

 


THE TECHNOPRIESTS
New edition. Art by Fred Beltran et al. 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. Humanoids, 2022. ...More.

MISS FURY JOY DIVISION
An original graphic novel. 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.

News & Notes

 

Bud’s Cyber Sale

It went out just a week ago and we still have most of the items listed. Check out all the titles we just marked down to 40%, 50% and more.

Famous First Edition: Fantastic Four

Taschen has printed more copies of this, with a different ISBN, that
do NOT have this limitation notice, beyond the first 5000. Other
outlets, such as book stores, may have these unnumbered copies. We
deal directly with Taschen (not through a distributor)--so we qualify
to get these special copies, while supply lasts.

This is the same deal as on the upcoming Frazetta XXL edition; our
copies will be from the numbered Famous First Edition.

Taschen started this with the Marvel Comics Library Spider-Man edition
but they did not properly identify the numbered copies. Most or all of
our copies may have been numbered, but we didn’t want to be taking off
the protective shrink wrap to identify each one. So we explained the
situation and let customers get what they got.

To this day we’re still not sure on the Avengers edition, and again I
would have to open up all of our copies to find out. We’re not sure
there WAS a numbered edition. So we didn’t claim that these are
numbered. Taschen clearly handled the information on these very
poorly.

But now they may have finally gotten their act together. The signed &
unsigned Fantastic Four have different ISBNs (International Book
Numbers) so they are easy to identify from the label on the box.



Bud Plant and Hutchison Books

Customers are steadily discovering our sister company, with an entirely separate website and unique out of print illustrated books, art books, graphic novels and archives, and children’s picture books (Anne just brought in 200 boxes of these, including many signed editions).

Anne is working on a new e-list now and you can sign up to get it first. Anne’s listings include many comics-related books just like we sell in Rare Books from Bud’s Art Books. Call Mon-Fri 9am-5pm 530-273-9762.

ILLUSTRATION MAGAZINE #78
Highly Recommended. By Dan Zimmer. This special issue is entirely devoted to the life and art of the legendary Al Dorne, one of the most successful commercial illustrators of his day. As the founder of the Famous Artists School, alongside luminaries such as Norman Rockwell, Al Parker, Austin Briggs, and more, his correspondence courses taught generations of artists the craft of illustration. Dorne's work has been beloved by comic artists for decades — he drew many of the best comic-strip style ads for the slick magazines, advertising high end product like Wurlitzer jukeboxes, Westinghouse Radios, Imperial Whisky, Frigidaire Refrigerators, Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer and Sanka Coffee.

PRINCE VALIANT 10-12 Slipcase Set
1955-60. Our Highest Recommendation. Hal Foster's Prince Valiant is the most illustrious heroic saga ever written and drawn for the Sunday newspapers.

In Volume 11 is Arvak the Red Stallion's first appearance and Foster's rare and never-before-reprinted advertising art from the 1920s.

THE PRINCE VALIANT PAGE
Almost Gone! Our Highest Recommendation. By Gary Gianni. Foreword by Mike Mignola. Modern illustration master Gianni opens the vaults to his work on the legendary Prince Valiant Sunday Page, written by Mark Schultz. Gianni assumed the helm of the strip after John Cullen Murphy but far too few fans have seen his several years of pages, let alone the amazing work behind the published pages...until now. Every aspect of the new era of the strip is covered here, with a particular focus on Gianni's preliminary sketches and production methods. Flesk, 2008. Out of print....More.

1973-76. Highly Recommended. By Mike Butterworth. Art by Don Lawrence et al. Don Lawrence's painted art continues to be a highlight of the series, and as he takes a sabbatical from the strip, Miguel Quesada and Philip Corke match his impressive work with their own style.

LE PATER ALPHONSE MUCHA'S SYMBOLIST MASTERPIECE Hardcover Hurt
Our Highest Recommendation. By Thomas Negovan. By 1899, Alphonse Mucha was the most recognizable artist of Art Nouveau graphics and the most celebrated illustrator in Paris. So Mucha insisted upon creating a deeply personal work, a magnificent, oversized deluxe limited edition, Le Pater. For the remainder of his life he considered this his masterpiece. This Symbolist story features a female deity protecting humankind, sophisticated occult themes and mystical illustrations. And this edition from Century Guild is one of the most beautifully produced books I've seen: oversized, quarter leather, gilt embossed cover and gilt page edges...and packed with amazing work, from never-before-seen studies and paintings, each magnificent page of Le Pater itself. Century Guild, 2019. Condition: Bumped corners....More.

News & Notes

 

The Fantastic Worlds of Frank Frazetta

See the banner ad at the top of this for more details. The total edition of this is 6,000 copies. However, early orders will be filled from the publisher with "Famous First Edition" copies which will be numbered. Taschen also did this with the XXL edition of Marvel Library Spider-Man but the printer neglected to identify the variant, so some people got it, some didn't. We could not identify them without opening every copy, which were shrink-wrapped! We're assured on the Frazetta that this issue is fixed and our large initial order is all Famous First Edition/numbered copies. We should be filling orders the first week in February.

Alley Oop The Complete Sundays 3 1939-1941

We had some damage on our first shipment and the good copies are already sent out leaving us none until the replacements come in. I love this damn book, it’s so good, but we had to pull it from our lead feature this week since we had no copies to fulfil orders. We should have more by the week of December 5th so it’ll make the email. Meanwhile you are welcome to backorder it. It has my highest recommendation [ALLE03H. $75]. Volumes 1 and 2 came out in 2014 and are currently out of print. Click here for both the Hamlin and Graue series of Daily Strip reprints. New ones are coming out each month.

Bud Plant and Hutchison Books
