BARREN LANDS BY BRYNN METHENEY Signed Signed! Barren Lands is a humble love letter to the desert, where the author and artist Brynn Metheney was born and raised. She shines light — and wonder — on those deserts, which continue to inspire and surprise her. They include encounters that hinge on disbelief, passed down to her by family members and reclusive locals, about creatures unknown to the public. This is a marvelous look at hidden wonders that only a desert rat with a long history in the region could share. Her words and pictures are secret revelations that blur the lines between fantasy and reality and are sure to entertain anyone with a curious mind. Flesk, 2023....More. Item Code: BARRD Hard Cover, 9x12, 112pg, Full Color |

AIRBOY Volume 1 Collects Vol 3 #1-2, 4-5, 1946. Recommended. By Fred Kida, Tony DiPreta, Maurice Whitman, et al.Airboy began in Air Fighters Comics but took over the title as publisher Hillman saw how popular he was. Back-up strips include Sky Wolf and The Flying Dutchman, who also started out in Airfighters. And here is the very first appearance of The Heap! Fun stories with his plane that flaps its wings, and an assortment of monsters and dictators, even sci-fi stories. PS Artbooks, 2023....More. Item Code: AIRB01 Soft Cover, 7x10, 184pg, Full Color $32.99 |
| We’re not aware of a hardcover edition of this yet, if there will be one. |
Item Code: THAWK01H |
THE HAWK Volume 1 Hardcover Collects #1-5, 1951-54. Superb painted covers. Highly Recommended. Art by Murphy Anderson, Joe Kubert, Dan Barry et al. This could be the best drawn of all the early 1950s westerns. Cowboys were exploding across television, Saturday morning serials, and movies. A trend was seized upon by top-tier publisher Ziff-Davis who introduced The Hawk, "Fighting Marshall of the American West." With skill, courage, an honorable attitude, and nearly superhuman speed and ability with his six-shooter. PS artbooks, 2024. ...More. |
Item Code: THAWK01 |
 |
PLASTIC MAN Volume 5 Collects #17-21, 1949-50. Highly Recommended. Featuring art by the great Jack Cole.

Another five thick issues with wild stories: the first Killer Shark story, invasions, a 12-foot-tall mummy, killers of the Amazon, Hell-diver rockets and much more. Primo cold war and horror and adventure stories from one of the most popular and long-running titles of the Golden Age, which carried right into the Silver Age with many revivals into modern times. PS Artbooks, 2023....More. Item Code: BLAC10 Soft Cover, 7x10, 184pg, Full Color $32.99 |

 |
HAND OF FATE Volume 1 Collects #8-12 (actually #1-5),1951-52. Recommended. By Lou Cameron, Mike Sekowsky, Ken Rice et al. I consider Ace a good step above most of the EC competitors. They offered offbeat stories tied together by the character "Fate," who provided narration. It's all about the living and the dead (and the undead), as well as getting what you shouldn't wish for, and the inevitable figure of death himself. This veritable sleeper from the Ace stable also includes work by Jim McLaughlin, Maurice Gutwirth, George Appel, Louis Zansky, Bill Molno, and Marvel's own Chic Stone. Cameron and McLaughlin were doing work worthy of EC in quality, especially in the later issues. PS Artbooks, 2023....More. Item Code: PCHF01 Soft Cover, 7x10, 184pg, Full Color $32.99 |
| Volumes 1, 2 and 4 are available in hardcover as a special order item [PCHF01H, etc. $44.99]. These began in 2018. Volume 3 hardcover is available now. We anticipate further softcover editions soon. |
Item Code: MIDM01H |

Sister magazine to Adventures into the Unknown and Forbidden Worlds. PS Artbooks, 2023....More. |
Item Code: MIDM01 |
Item Code: SAG04H |
GORGO Volume 4 Hardcover Collects #16-20, 1963-64. Recommended. Art by Dick Giordano, Steve Ditko et al.After a seaquake, a huge lizard-like creature from prehistoric times walked into the comics world and was an immediate hit. This Godzilla wanna-be was just a kid though, and usually seems to just go after the bad guys and the bad monsters, protecting the weak and the good folks in his life. Wonderful Silver Age classics. PS Artbooks, 2023....More. |
Item Code: SAG04 |
| Here are previous volumes of Gorgo. |
Item Code: SPIR01 |
THE SPIRIT Volume 1 Collects #1-4, 1944-46. Highly Recommended. Will Eisner helped to created many of the seminal heroes for Quality Comics, then left to create The Spirit for the newspapers — his masterpiece of story and art. So of course Quality began collecting the 8-page stories. Here they are as they first appeared in issues #1-4 of the very first Spirit comic books. The stories are presented in a wide variety of styles, from straight forward crime drama and noir to lighthearted adventure, from mystery and horror to comedy and love stories, often with hybrid elements that twisted genre and reader expectations. PS Artbooks, 2023....More. |
Item Code: SPIR01H |

I’ve just reduced the price on this set of the first 16 volumes, 1940-48: |

ALSO AVAILABLE SPIRIT ARCHIVES Volumes 1-16 SET By Will Eisner. The first 16 volumes set. These are priced all over the map on the internet, depending on how scarce they are, from a low of $25 to a high of, get this, $1500 for one volume. There are a few out there in the $60, 75 to $150 range due to scarcity. This set collects Eisner's fabled Spirit stories, from 1940 to 1948. Collecting all of these in the originals is still next to impossible...I've been after them myself for 50 years now, and still don't have them all. DC Comics, 2000-2005. Out of Print. Condition: Very Fine/As New. Rush Service and International shipping would require an additional charge....More. Item Code: RB2026 Hard Cover, 7x10, Various, Full Color |

In The Fine Art of Walt Disney's Donald Duck by Carl Barks, a slip-cased coffee table book, Barks historian Barbara Boatner wrote "Worse than the Beagle Boys are little varmints that nibble thousand-dollar bills or squirrel away round, shiny objects ... but Scrooge's helpers are too tired from a long day in the south forty to even notice an intruder."
