THE ART OF HADDON SUNDBLOM Second Printing. Our Highest Recommendation. By Daniel Zimmer. Haddon Sundblom (1899-1976) was Coca Cola’s most prolific artist, painting subjects that ranged from pin-up bathing beauties to soda-fountain scenes. They are actively collected today. During his peak period in the 1940s, he produced half of all Coke’s advertising art, including the famous Santa everyone recognizes today. He was head of an entire illustration studio; he painted calendar art, including nudes; and he was a major influence on top artists of the time. Illustrated Press, 2022....More.

MAC RABOY Master of the Comics The first-ever book on this hugely talented artist. Our Highest Recommendation. By Roger Hill. Introduction by Roy Thomas. Beginning with his WPA etchings during the 1930s, Mac Raboy struggled to survive the Great Depression and eventually found his way into the comics. He perfected his art style on early stories of Dr. Voodoo, Zorro The Mystery Man, Bulletman, Spy Smasher, (all for Fawcett), The Green Lama and, finally, his crowning achievement, Captain Marvel Jr. Raboy went on to illustrate the Flash Gordon Sunday newspaper strip, and left behind a legacy of meticulous perfection.
