| Fantagraphics is responsible for many of the finest collections of vintage comics. I did a search just on our own website for them, and 252 items come up. I admit we do have a lot of out-of-print volumes in Rare Books right now but wow, that’s a lot of books from just one publisher. And good stuff! Here’s some of my favorite titles, all still in print: |

History of Science Fiction |
 |
THE VISUAL HISTORY OF SCIENCE FICTION FANDOM Volume 3 1941 By David Ritter and Daniel Ritter. Cover art by Mark Wheatley. Highly Recommended. Finalist for the 2023 Locus Award. The history of SF writers and fans, straight from the fanzines and publications of the day. Science fiction fandom in 1941 played out in a panoply of wisdom, foolishness, belief and incredulity. Less mired than previous years in the economic shackles of the Great Depression, fans let loose in ways both expected and surprising. The year began with a bang — the noisy implosion of the ascendant Queens Science Fiction League, torn apart by rancor among New York factions stewing since 1938. In early December, fans in America were forced to face the threat of imminent dystopia as insidious products of science and engineering rained down on sailors at Pearl Harbor. First Fandom Experience, 2024....More. Item Code: VISHS03H Hard Cover, 9x12, 480pg, Partial Color $195.00 |

Art by John Giunta, Finlay, etc. The second volume of The Visual History reveals the evolution of science fiction fandom in one of its most pivotal years. As 1940 dawned, America was recovering, poised between the Great Depression and entry into World War II. Science fiction fandom was growing up. Packed with informative text, letters and articles from original fanzines, fan and professional art from both fanzines and pulps; and a real insider look at sci fi fans in 1940. Lots of vintage photos. First Fandom Experience, 2021....More. Item Code: VISHS02H Hard Cover, 9x12, 484pg, Partial Color $195.00 |
 |
ALSO AVAILABLE THE VISUAL HISTORY OF SCIENCE FICTION FANDOM Volume 1 The 1930S Back in Stock. New Printing. Recommended. By David Ritter and Daniel Ritter. How did organized science fiction fandom begin? Who were the pioneering fans that created the foundation of today’s massive science fiction and fantasy industry? What would it have been like to be a fan of this transformative genre in the 1930s? This massive history recounts the stories of the first active science fiction fans — pioneers who went on to lead the growth of speculative literature for the next several decades. Over 500 lavishly illustrated pages, packed with facsimile reproductions from rare fanzines. First Fandom Experience, 2020....More. Item Code: VISHS01H Hard Cover, 9x12, 515pg, Partial Color $195.00 |
| We restocked the first two volumes with the publication of this new release. Vol 1 appeared in 2020 and Vol 2 in 2022. I expect the print runs are very small.

ALSO AVAILABLE THE HISTORY OF SCIENCE FICTION AND ITS TOY FIGURINES Recommended. By Luigi Toiati. We take a nostalgic walk through science fiction in all its various forms, and the figurines and brands associated with it.

Superb photography captures all those tiny figures from games and toys, such as Mystery Space Ship, Giant Martian Landing, Space Adventure, The Spacemen, Star Base etc., as well as the traditional Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers, and of course, lots of great mechanical robots. Pen & Sword Military, 2023....More. Item Code: HISTSFH Hard Cover, 7x10, 528pg, Text/Partial Color $59.95 |

ALSO AVAILABLE RAYGUNS AND ROCKETSHIPS Vintage Science Fiction Book Cover Art Highly Recommended. By Rian Hughes. Forword by Steve Holland. Art by Josh Kirby, John Richards, Henry Fox, Ron Turner, Jack Goggins et al. This is one cool book. We've all seen those wonderful classic pulp covers...on U.S. pulps. But there's another universe of pulp and paperback classics all produced in England and rarely seen in the U.S. Here at last is a full collection! - Bud. Rayguns and rockets! Spacesuited heroes caught in the tentacles of evil insectoid aliens! Who could resist such wonders? Science-fiction paperbacks exploded over the 1940s and ‘50s literary landscape with the force of an alien gamma bomb. Titles such as Rodent Mutation, The Human Bat vs The Robot Gangster, Dawn of the Mutants and Mushroom Men from Mars appeared from fly-by-night publishers making the most of the end of post-war paper rationing. They were brash and seductive — for around a shilling, the future was yours. Korero Press, 2022....More. Item Code: RAYGH Hard Cover, 6x9, 456pg, Full Color |

Whatnot Vintage Comics I’ve just begun working with a local comic book shop, Worlds of Wonder. I’ve been picking up lots of vintage comics over the years (100 boxes from a BOOK dealer just last year). I never have enough time to deal with all of them. I list the more expensive (above $40) issues on Mycomicshop.com, where you will find me as a noted consigner. You can search all I have there, about 800 Golden Age, Silver Age and Bronze. But the issues that don’t make the cut with MCS are now going up on the live auction site WHATNOT, thanks to my friend John Stephenson. He’s calling it the Bud Plant Collection, and featuring Gold, Silver, Bronze and Modern Age titles, all with a $4 minimum bid. Things can go REALLY cheap, so take advantage and join in. John does about 100 comics over the span of three hours or so, every Friday at 1pm. John and I will be doing a live show together from ECOF – the local Edgar Rice Burroughs show on May 17 at 1pm Pacific Time. I hope you’ll check it out. Anne and I will be exhibiting at the show May 17 and 18th. The Best Western Plus Orchid Hotel & Suites in Roseville, CA. After that, our next show will be Portland Rose City Book Fair June 14 and 15. ~Bud
