New printing. Collects Showcase #22-24 and Green Lantern #1-35, 1959-65. Highly Recommended. Wow—now this is one long-awaited omnibus!

KATUSHA Girl Soldier of the Great Patriotic War
Closeout Price! Recommended. By Wayne Vansant. A popular but, due to its size, not inexpensive book—now on sale. On Sunday, June 22, 1941, the morning after Katusha’s graduation, the Germans invade the Soviet Union. As enemy forces occupy Kiev, Ukraine, Katusha and her family learn the Nazis are not there to liberate them but to conquer. During the next four years, Katusha experiences the war on the Eastern Front with all its ferocity and hardship: first as a partisan, then as a Red Army tank driver and commander. Katusha is both a coming-of-age story and a carefully researched account of one of the most turbulent and important periods of the twentieth century, where women served in the hundreds of thousands, and Russians died by the millions. Dead Reckoning, 2019....More.

RAY HARRYHAUSEN TITAN OF CINEMA
Closeout Price! Recommended. By Vanessa Harryhausen. Special-effects superstar Ray Harryhausen elevated stop-motion animation to an art from the 1950s to 1980s. With material drawn from his incredible archive, his daughter Vanessa selects 100 creatures and objects, in chronological order, that meant the most to her as she watched her father make world-famous films that changed the course of cinema. He inspired a generation of film-makers such as Peter Jackson, Tim Burton, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, and his influence on blockbuster cinema can be felt to this day. Some of the objects featured in the book, such as Talos from Jason and the Argonauts, are world famous, while others are less well known but hold special personal significance to Vanessa.

THE COMPLETE DICK TRACY DAILIES & SUNDAYS Volume 5 1938-1939
Dailies & Sundays, 1938-39. Edited by Dean Mullaney. Dick Tracy Volume 5 kicks off with a human trafficking story that could be torn from today’s headlines, as the dauntless detective encounters a captive woman who bears a striking resemblance to real life sex symbol Dorothy Lamour! That woman, Noana, is just one of the lively characters Chester Gould introduces as Clover Press and The Library of American Comics continue to re-release the original six Dick Tracy volumes in the larger size that will allow the entire series to exist in one uniform format. In these exciting tales, Tracy goes undercover to bring down the elusive mobster Ramm; joins forces with Junior and bumbling newcomer Brighton Spotts to foil the plans of wanted man Jojo Nidle; and pays a heavy price as he teams with G-Man Jim Trailer to thwart the schemes of an international criminal named Karpse and his icy sweetheart, Marro—but what does it take to stop the criminal rampage of that deformed gunsel, Scardol?

An encounter with small-time dognapper puts Tracy on the trail of a gang of fur thieves, and then hardened criminal Stooge Viller softens up, thanks to his young daughter, but not before he drops Dick Tracy into a death trap.

EXTRAORDINARY RECORDS
Multilingual edition. A new and edgy definition for "album art." Produced in collaboration with Colors magazine, it brings together more than 500 remarkable records from the collection of Alessandro Benedetti and Peter Bastine. This book forms a junction between photography, music, and design, celebrating vinyl. With featured artists including Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Prince, Michael Jackson, Bon Jovi, and beyond, it offers compelling insight into the most intricate details of a performer’s visual identity, from a vivid color to a futuristic mirror effect. The discs are arranged thematically to span monochrome vinyl; unusual vinyl (including silver, gold, or mirror vinyl as well as extremely rare glow-in-the-dark vinyl); multicolored vinyl; etched vinyl (where music is pressed onto only one side); shaped vinyl (cut into forms that are different from the classic round disc); and picture discs (where a photograph or design is stamped onto the surface of the record).

EVERETT RAYMOND KINSTLER Signed Deluxe Hurt
Signed & limited, 700! The Artist's Journey through Popular Culture 1942-62. Our Highest Recommendation. By Jim Vadeboncoeur, Jr. and Everett Raymond Kinstler. Signed by Everett and Jim Vadeboncoeur, Jr. on a hand-numbered bound-in print. The book comes in a red cloth-bound numbered slipcase with gold-stamped title. Kinstler's work hangs in museums, boardrooms, banks, private collections, The White House, and in the homes of his clients and friends. Before portraiture became his life's work, he spent the 1940s and 1950s honing his craft in comic books: Hawkman for DC's The Flash, Black Hood and Black Terror for Standard, and dozens upon dozens of covers, inside cover contents pages, and stories for those delightfully lurid Avon titles like Eerie, Cowpuncher, Dalton Brothers, Jesse James, Strange Worlds, etc. And illustrating for pulp magazines like The Shadow, Doc Savage and Detective Tales! JVJ, 2005. Condition: The slipcase and/or jacket spine has been sunned and is faded. ...More.

Item Code: EVEDR
Hard Cover, 8x11, 244pg, Partial Color

CREATURES FROM THE SUBCONSCIOUS Signed Hurt
Signed! Highly Recommended. Underground comix pioneer Denis Kitchen offers us a coffee table art book collecting his unique surrealistic drawings. The wide variety of imaginary sea life, giant insects, skeletal remains, puzzling monsters, and deformed humans defy any simple categorization. Introduction by Peter Poplaski, foreword by Kitchen. This deluxe edition reproduces more than 160 oddly compelling images by a creative genius. Tinto Press, 2023. Condition: Bumped corners....More.

THE LIBRARY OF ESOTERICA Plant Magick Hurt
Recommended. Edited by Jessica Hundley. A new release in this comprehensive series from Taschen. From root to vibrant blossom, Plant Magick uses artwork past and present to explore the fertile, interconnected history between plants and people, the multitude of ways in which we embrace plants in spiritual ceremony, as healing medicine, as creative muse and as gateways into deeper explorations of consciousness including marijuana and hallucinogenic posters and art. From ancient Greek sculptures to Renaissance paintings and Pre-Raphaelite artists, to visionary art inspired by psychoactive plants, cacti, and mushrooms... Taschen, 2023. Condition: Bumped corners....More.

ALSO AVAILABLE
THE LIBRARY OF ESOTERICA Witchcraft
New from Taschen. Recommended. This visual chronicle is the first of its kind, a deep dive into the complex symbologies behind witchcraft traditions, explored through the history of art. The witch has played muse to great artists throughout time, from the dark seductions of de Goya and Albrecht Dürer to the elegant paean to the magical feminine as re-imagined by the Surrealist circle of Remedios Varo, Leonora Carrington, and Leonor Fini. This surveys her many incarnations as she shape-shifts through the centuries: mother, nymph, crone — seductress and destroyer. Profusely illustrated with a wide range of artwork from Victorian era to today. Nudity. Taschen, 2021. Mature Readers. ...More.

Local Fauna: The Art of Peter de Séve

Peter is a New Yorker cover artist, animator and storyboarder, frequent Spectrum contributor, and a good friend of ours. And a brilliant artist! His new book will be featured on the cover of our upcoming catalog. It includes a signed bookplate.

However…it has proved so popular, the publisher has SOLD OUT the first printing. A new printing will be in our hands by the end of January. Sadly we ran quickly through our initial shipment.

Illustration Magazine Final Issues

As mentioned earlier, issues #81-84 were the final four issues. Editor Dan Zimmer will continue to do art books, but decided to hang up his periodical after these many years and many issues. He published #81-84 all at the same time. We are hoping he has plenty of copies so that we can continue to handle these and other back issues, but you may want to get yours now. He may have reduced his print runs…. His books are published under the imprint The Illustrated Press.

Cyber Sale

Don’t miss our annual Black Monday Cyber Sale. We still have lots of lots of great books left at 1/3 off, 40% off, and half price…108 titles as I write this. See them all here.

ICV2 Steve Geppi Interview

ICV2 interviewed me there just a couple months ago, so here’s a link if you missed that.

Graphic Novels

 


TEX CAPTAIN JACK Signature Edition
First published in Italy in 2016, newly translated. Highly Recommended. By Tito Faraci. Art by Enrique Breccia. Far outgunned and outnumbered, the Native American Modoc tribe, led by the famous Modoc chief, Kintpuash (aka Captain Jack) defies the mighty US military at Lava Beds National Park in northeastern California. In this all-out mayhem Tex still tries to uphold justice, no matter the color of the skin. Enrique Breccia's breathtaking, expressive artwork is a highlight of this dramatic story, based on true events. Impressive thick, oversized hardcover and a good value for the price.

ZAGOR THE RETURN OF CAIN
Recommended. By Mauro Boselli. Art by Stefano Andreucci. Cover by Gallieno Ferri. Created in 1961, this European western combines adventure, crime, and horror into a popular and very well drawn series taking place in the early 1800's in the American northeast. If you like the work of Russ Manning, Jose Salinas and Joe Kubert, Zagor is your series, written by the author of Tex. This features the return of Cain the Avengers, a Puritan monster hunter inspired by Robert E. Howard's Solomon Kane. Destiny crosses his and Zagor's paths again as they meet in the African desert pursued by necromancers, as they all search for the lost cities of Atlantis. Full color — a bargain at 248 pages!

Collects Vols 1-3 of the original Japanese manga series. Blood, death, and duty — the title bequeathed to the heir of the royal executioner becomes a burden too heavy to bear.

Sanson must take up his father’s mantle as the Royal Executioner of Paris.

THE ART OF POPEYE A Masterwork of the Medium
When cartoonist Elzie Segar created Popeye, a minor character ten years into the run of the Thimble Theatre strip in 1929, little did he know that the world's most famous sailor would still be around over ninety years later and still in the Sunday papers. To celebrate Popeye, the character, the comic strip and his universe, Hermes Press is publishing the definitive art monograph on the subject. This book features a comprehensive essay written by pop culture historian R.C. Harvey accompanied by over 350 illustrations of original strip and comic book art, animation art, advertising art, products, the Robert Altman film, and everything Popeye, from Olive Oyl and Eugene the Jeep to Wimpy and Bluto.
