| Mylar Regular Comics Size (7 ¼ x 10 ½) is also finally back in stock. We sell these in 25’s instead of 50 [MYLREG. $23 for 25]. While mylars were unavailable, I have heard many collectors switched to using mylites because they remained available and are also cheaper. I personally use them instead of regular mylars; they are “soft” and are NOT prone to catching an edge and tearing a comic as you slide it in, like on the stiffer mylars. But they look just as good and still protect your books. Our two mylite sizes are Silver/Gold (8” X 10 ½”) [MYL2SIL. $30 for 50] and Magazine (9” x 11 ½”) [$32 for 50].

THOMAS GERTIN The Forgotten Painter Graphic Novel Part historical narrative, part modern fiction, this book consists of two interlinked stories: The first focuses on the 18th-century painter Thomas Girtin and his relationship with his friend and rival J.M.W. Turner; the second tells the tale of three amateur artists in the present day, united by a shared interest in Girtin’s art. Using this dual narrative to draw parallels between two eras of rapid technological advancement and sociopolitical turbulence, Oscar Zárate’s long-awaited new graphic novel restores to modern eyes this unjustly forgotten figure, whose work has been almost entirely ignored despite his huge influence in British painting.SelfMadeHero, 2023.
