DAREDEVIL By Miller & Janson Omnibus Collects Daredevil #158-161, 163-191 & What If? #28, 1979-81. Our Highest Recommendation. Art by Klaus Janson. A classic Marvel hero redefined by one of comics’ greatest visionaries in the work that made him a comics superstar! Frank Miller’s spellbinding scripts and pulse-pounding pencils mark one of Daredevil’s greatest eras. Will the Kingpin and Bullseye’s efforts rob the Man Without Fear of everything he holds dear? Featuring the first appearances of Elektra, Stick and the Hand! Traditional super-heroics mix effortlessly with mysterious martial artistry, doomed romance and dark personal drama.

In order to unravel the mystery of her own demise, she'll have to solve an even bigger one — where is the actual Grim Reaper who's running this show?

Item Code: PCWH01 |
WEIRD HORRORS Volume 1 Collects #1-5, 1952. Highly Recommended. St. John's criminally overlooked Weird Horrors has a cover style that's a riff on Marvel's later and much-loved Amazing Adult Fantasy. And believe me, you'll have to go a long way to match this first volume, with work from Gus Ricca, George Tuska, Charles Sultan, Bob Forgione, Enrico Bagnoli, Rafael Astarita, Paul Gattuso, Don Perlin and Albert Tyler, many of whom are not household names though their styles deserve for them to be right up there with the very best. #3 has a hashish story! PS Artbooks, 2023....More. |
Item Code: PCWH01H |
| The hardcover came out in 2018, so it’s priced less than contemporary hardcovers. We have just four copies left [PCWH01H. $44.99]. |
Item Code: FCSR03 |
FIGHT COMICS FEATURING SENORITA RIO Volume 3 Collects #51-71, 1947-50. Highly Recommended. Art by Jack Kamen, Nick Cardy, Lily Renee et al. It's time to finish this fight with the third and final volume featuring Señorita Rio, "The Queen of Spies!" The lovely actress-turned-secret-agent survived in a male-dominated world due to her extraordinary skills. She was an excellent markswoman, extremely athletic, capable of amazing feats and an expert fighter, skilled in jiu-jitsu and fencing. She battles Axis agents throughout South America. Wonderful artwork throughout! Señorita Rio was one of the first female and Latin characters created by Fiction House and had a long, successful run. PS Artbooks, 2023. ...More. |
Due in March Item Code: FCSR03H |
| The hardcover is due in March [FCSR03H. $52.99]. It has an alternate cover that I strongly suspect is by Eisner, taken from one of the stories inside. Señorita Rio Volume 1 softcover has gone out of print, we have one copy left as I write this, and 2 is entirely gone. I hope to see both reprinted soon. We have Vol 1 hardcover [FCSR01H. $46.99] and Vol 2 hardcover [FCSR02H. $46.99]. Obviously this is a popular series! We rarely see titles sold out from PS. Here are more with Fight Comics and all of our other PS Artbooks. |
Item Code: RANF01H |
RANGERS OF FREEDOM Volume 1 Collects #1-3, 1941-42. Recommended. Art by Joe Doolin, Dan Zolnerowich, Jim Chambers et al. Rangers was one of Fiction House's long-running titles, alongside Fight and Jumbo and Planet. But the first seven issues were actually titled Rangers of Freedom and the lead-off feature was this Boy Commandos-style group: "Biff" Barkley, "Tex" Russell and Peter Cabot, three young men who were recruited by the FBI, plus Ranger Girl. They donned patriotically themed bulletproof costumes and fought Nazis. The rest of each 64-page issue featured back-up strips like "The Royal Watch," Defense Patrol, Anzac Hawks by Bob Jenny, Rocky Hall Jungle Stalker, Sea Squad, and Don Stuart of the Far East Rangers. PS Artbooks, 2023. ...More. |

DRACULA OF TRANSLYVANIA Hurt Highly Recommended. By Ricardo Delgado. A fresh, bold retelling of the classic Stoker novel with the pace of the modern thriller, written by AND lavished with incredible concept art from one of Hollywood’s leading Conceptual Designers, Ricardo Delgado. 1899 Transylvania bleeds history and evil. Young Solicitor Jonathan Harker braves ghosts, demons, living skeletons, and armies of rats as he encounters Dracula. The demonic, shapeshifting vampire imposes his wrath, malice and vengeance upon an England about to enter the Modern Era, crushing everything in his path. Clover Press, 2021.

ILLUSTRATORS QUARTERLY #36 Closeout Price! Highly Recommended. Thomas Fluharty, one of the usual gang of idiots from MAD magazine during the 1990s, talks about his artwork and shows us his caricatures, including this issue's cover. Arantza Sestayo, Spanish realist and illustrator, is our favorite feature — beautiful women and fairies, Game of Thrones, and Dejah Thoris. Nearly as exciting, for comic fans they examine fine-line illustrator José Luis Salinas and his Cisco Kid, plus never-before-seen color western paintings. Caran d'Ache, the French master of humor and pen & ink, whose work influenced many comic strip artists from the 20th century, is also examined. Book Palace, 2022....More. Item Code: IQ36 Soft Cover, 9x11, 96pg, Partial Color |

THE LOOK AND LEARN PICTORIAL MUSEUM Closeout Price! Recommended. The Look and Learn picture library (found online) is one of the world's largest and most diverse collections of illustrations. Its images are regularly used in TV documentaries, films, books and magazines, and for marketing and advertising, museum display, greeting cards, clothing design and merchandise. This explains briefly how the picture library came into being. But the book's purpose is to showcase 5,000 illustrations, chosen from over 500,000. 448 pages of color illustrations, eight to 12 per page. Book Palace, 2022. ...More.

THE DRAWINGS OF EDWIN AUSTIN ABBEY Closeout Price! Our Highest Recommendation. By Alice "Bunny" Carter. One of the finest pen & ink artists of his day; this first-ever book focuses on Edwin Austen Abbey's (1852-1911) work in magazines and books. 350 drawings, including an exquisite series done over twenty years for The Comedies of William Shakespeare, followed by a very rare set, The Shakespeare Tragedies. His painstaking devotion to research while securing the appropriate costumes, props and models for his drawings was legendary. He is in the rarefied class of Joseph Clement Coll, Franklin Booth, Arthur Rackham, and Frank Godwin — all masters of the medium— and he was the first in this line of greats. An extensive new essay by Alice A. Carter offers a fresh look at his life and career. Flesk, 2021....More. Item Code: DRAWEA Soft Cover, 6x9, 400pg, b&w |

COVENANT The Art of Allen Williams Hardcover Signed Closeout Price! Highly Recommended. Signed & limited, 1500, with 16 extra pages! Allen Williams and Flesk Publications have teamed up to bring you his first art book. We previously handled Allen's sketchbooks and were very impressed. Each of his dark, eerie, skeletal and surreal fantastical characters is accompanied by a line of text, a poem or a brief story that captures their essence — often from mythology. Occasional nudity. Stunning detail and imagination. Flesk, 2021. Out of print....More. Item Code: COVEAWHS Hard Cover, 9x12, 160pg, Partial Color |
