TERRY AND THE PIRATES THE MASTER COLLECTION Volume 6 Highly Recommended. By Milton Caniff.This tabloid-sized Volume 6 containing the 1940 dailies and Sundays is an unparalleled upgrade. Invading soldiers scatter the occupants of Singh-Singh’s outpost, forcing Pat, Blaze, and April to flee. They take refuge at Raven Sherman’s orphanage just in time for an outbreak of cholera (this is refuge?). Returning to the city, Raven meets the mysterious Hu Shee, while Pat is reunited with Terry, Big Stoop, and Connie and crosses paths with old friend Dude Hennick. All the newcomers to the cast — together with the Dragon Lady — fall prey to the schemes of Chopstick Joe. A strike by invader forces separates Terry and Hu Shee from the others, setting up an encounter with the elusive Chinese guerrilla leader known only as the Blue Tiger! Clover Press, 2023....More.

THE COMPLETE DICK TRACY DAILIES & SUNDAYS Volume 2 1933-1935 It’s all about family in the Complete Dick Tracy Volume 2, as Clover Press and The Library of American Comics bring this early entry into the series’ standardized format. That means larger pages in a book that looks great on the shelf with its companions. Between the covers, the spotlight’s on Junior Tracy as he and his biological father cross paths with the notorious "Stooge" Viller and his sister, Maxine. Then "Big Boy" leaves Junior hospitalized before "Confidence" Dolan locks the boy in the can. Dick Tracy’s subsequent encounter with secret operative J. Scotland Bumpsted puts the evil Larceny Lu on the run to California. There she meets Junior’s long-lost mother, who gives Junior a Scotty pup named Oscar and Tracy a way to bring villainous Boris Arson to justice. Chester Gould’s high-octane stories set pulses raising and hearts beating faster in the reformatted, super-sized, all-action The Complete Dick Tracy Volume 2! Clover Press, 2023....More.

THE SPHINX AND THE MILKY WAY Selections from The Journals of Charles Burchfield. In the early years of the 20th century, Charles Burchfield painted mystic and visionary landscapes. For nearly his entire life, Burchfield also kept a journal. Over 54 years, he filled nearly 10,000 pages. To call this journal epic would be an understatement. A masterpiece whose bulk has remained unread, it is a handwritten tome that combines elements of the American nature journal with a dash of 19th-century spiritual autobiography. It is a record of a man who spent much of his life looking at and considering the sky. The Song Cave, 2023....More. Item Code: SPHMW Soft Cover, 6x9, 200pg, Partial Color $28.95 |
