Illustrators Quarterly, Trigan Empire, Love & Rockets, Sixth Gun, Grimm Fairy Tales, Swords of Glass, and Mike Mignola’s Witchfinder.

I particularly like Illustrators Quarterly with a big feature on John Severin. The massive Love and Rockets Sketchbook is impressive. I like the look of the Sixth Gun, a "Weird Western." The Swords of Glass is a good read, part one of two. Mike Mignola’s Witchfinder is in a bargain-priced omnibus. 3dtotal is here with Wayfinder, the art of Gretel Lusky. Plus Blemished Books, Warehouse Finds and Strangers in Paradise TOO—signed.

ILLUSTRATORS QUARTERLY #43 All Western
Our Highest Recommendation. A Wild West special begins with the history of the western pulp art, both covers and inside, featuring luminaries Norman Saunders and Allen Anderson. Then we are treated to a major, lengthy examination of EC & Cracked master John Severin, one of the very finest artists ever to draw authentic western adventure in comics. Here too is Fred Harman (Red Ryder) who was a western character himself, with a long, successful career. And more, in an excellent and unusual issue. Book Palace, 2024....More.

JOHN SEVERIN TWO-FISTED COMIC BOOK ARTIST Signed
Our Highest Recommendation. Exclusive full color, double-sided bookplate signed by authors Greg Biga and Jon B. Cooke. A spirited biography of one of the most prolific creators in the history of American comics! From a start in 1947 at the Simon & Kirby shop, John Severin co-created the legendary Western strip American Eagle, and became an EC Comics mainstay, working with Harvey Kurtzman on MAD and Two-Fisted Tales. In addition to a 40 year association with Cracked magazine, his pivotal Marvel Comics work included an extended run on The Hulk, and teaming with sister Marie Severin to create the definitive comics version of King Kull.

ILLUSTRATOR'S QUARTERLY SPECIAL #17 Trigan Empire Artists
Highly Recommended. Celebrate all the fabulous artists who drew the iconic Trigan Empire comic strip that first appeared in Ranger and then Look and Learn from 1965 to 1982, a run of 854 issues in total. One of the most fondly remembered British strips ever, with its pseudo retro setting in a world resembling Ancient Rome, but with the advances of science in its weapons and flying vehicles. But it was mainly the absolutely stunning artwork of its initial artist, Don Lawrence, followed up by Ron Embleton, that made it such a fan-favorite. Book Palace, 2024. ...More.

THE RISE AND FALL OF THE TRIGAN EMPIRE Volume 4
Closeout Price! 1973-76. Highly Recommended. By Mike Butterworth. Art by Don Lawrence et al. Don Lawrence's painted art continues to be a highlight of the series, and as he takes a sabbatical from the strip, Miguel Quesada and Philip Corke match his impressive work with their own style. The Trigan Empire remains resilient against enemies on all fronts, from treacherous politicians to murderous Zith assassins and alien invaders; Trigo and Janno protect the citizens of Elekton. Wonderful science fiction comics from the best-ever British series. Rebellion, 2022....More.

KARL THE VIKING Volume 1 The Sword of Eingar
Recommended. By Ted Cowan. Art by Don Lawrence. Originally serialized in Lion, Karl the Viking is a sweeping historical fantasy story of an orphaned Saxon boy, adopted and raised by the Viking Eingar after his raid on Britain. Upon coming of age Karl succeeds Eingar and leads his tribe into battle in Britain against wild tribes of Picts, and re-connects with his old Saxon family, gaining an ally in his cousin Godwulf, and making an enemy of the Earl of Eastumbria. Fast-paced stories beautifully drawn by Don Lawrence shortly before he revolutionized painted comic art with The Trigan Empire. 2000 AD, 2022....More.

LOVE AND ROCKETS The Sketchbooks
Highly Recommended. Fantagraphics published two sketchbook volumes in 1989 and 1992; now, this massive, oversized book collects both PLUS a trove of other rarely-seen artwork. Both Gilbert and Jaime Hernandez developed their skills in the pages of Love & Rockets, and as quickly as any artists ever have. But they built up to their 1981 self-published debut with years of experiments, fan art, zine illustrations, early short comics, and gig posters, and continued to work out in personal sketchbooks after establishing themselves as the preeminent cartoonists they became. Includes good girl art, nudity and adult material. Fantagraphics, 2024. Mature Readers ...More.

We also have issues #15-50 of the Love & Rockets magazine series published by Fantagraphics in the early 80's. Email Todd (todd@budplant.com) if you're interested.

Collects The Sixth Gun #1-17 and The Sixth Gun: Sons of the Gun #1-5, 2010-13. Recommended. By Collen Bunn, Brian Hurt and Bill Crabtree et al. Massive! Almost 600 pages!

The gunslinger at her side, Drake Sinclair, is no white knight and is himself on the hunt for the six legendary guns . . .

WAYFINDER The Art of Gretel Lusky
Recommended. This is an artist who loves fantasy and all things magical: fairies, mermaids, mythical creatures, knights, beautiful young girls and women. She creates characters that are colorful yet mysterious, and worlds otherworldly, always pretty yet sometimes unsettling. This delves into the story of her creative early years, why she chose art as a career, and follows her development timeline. She presents two exclusive galleries of art — one with a fantasy focus, based around maritime creatures and witches, and another that celebrates the beauty of sketchbooking. 3dtotal Publishing, 2024....More.

Highly Recommended. 1 million followers on Instagram! Following on from his first book, Guweiz: The Art of Gu Zheng Wei (2020), the artist now takes us deeper into his world of beautifully painted artwork, which features beautiful girls, often warriors, in manga-inspired dark settings. Guweiz provided the cover artwork for the popular Asian Illustration also from 3dtotal. It contains a special feature on his work. We find him incredibly polished and imaginative, transcending far beyond the usual Manga motifs to bring his work a fine art style very much in the Realism genre of tradition-inspired work. 3dtotal Publishing, 2023....More.

THE STYLE OF LOISH Finding Your Artistic Voice

Meanwhile, her previous collections in 2016 and 2018 have sold 85,000 copies. This new book bursts with brand new, specially commissioned art that provides a unique opportunity to understand the foundations of Loish’s style. She explores (and narrates) her own style through creating volume, choosing color, establishing flow, and the ideas and subjects themselves. 3dtotal Publishing, 2022....More.

CAPTAIN AMERICA AND THE AMERICAN JOURNEY 1940-2022
By Richard A. Hall. Captain America made his debut in 1940, just two years behind the first comic book superheroes and five years before the United States’ emergence as the world’s primary superpower at the end of World War II. His journey has been intertwined with America’s progress throughout the decades. Known as the "Sentinel of Liberty," he has frequently provided socio-political commentary on current events as well as inspiration and warnings concerning the future. Ten chapters begin with Cap in the 40s, move to Commie Smasher in the 40s, unrest in the 60s, and on, showing how the stories in Captain American mirror society's own changes and issues.

UNDERSTANDING SUPERHERO COMIC BOOKS
Highly Recommended. By Alex Grand. Foreword by Jim Steranko. This work dissects the origin and growth of superhero comic books, their major influences from comic strips and the pulps, and the creators behind them. It demonstrates how Batman, Wonder Woman, Captain America and many more stand as time capsules of their eras, rising and falling with societal changes, and reflecting an amalgam of influences. The book covers in detail the iconic superhero comic book creators and their unique contributions in their quest for realism, including Julius Schwartz and the science-fiction origins of superheroes; the collaborative design of the Marvel Universe by Jack Kirby, Stan Lee, and Steve Ditko; Jim Starlin’s incorporation of the death of superheroes in comic books; John Byrne and the revitalization of superheroes in the modern age; and Alan Moore’s deconstruction of superheroes.
