Comics & Graphic Novels

 


WALT DISNEY DONALD AND MICKEY IN METROPOLIS AND FAUST
Recommended. Commentary by David Gerstein. First, it's Goethe— Duckburg style! Long ago in medieval Europe, alchemist "Dr. Donaldus Faustus" (Donald Duck) can't stand the feud between his uncle, Duke Scrooge MacDuich, and the brawling Beagle Barons. Donald turns to wacky Witch Hazel and demons of the underworld! Next, in a retelling of Fritz Lang's classic film, the future city of "Mousetropolis" is powered by the world's highest-tech factory. But that factory runs on the low-tech muscle of poverty-stricken peasants— and "undercover boss" Mictor (Mickey Mouse) discovers a plot to replace them with robots if they object! The Phantom Blot is in charge — and Minnie's next in line to go metal! Fantagraphics, 2024....More.

Item Code: WDMFH

$29.99 $26.99
Here are more Mickey stories from Italy, France and Scandinavia, collected from Topolino and other sources. These are pretty wild stories, completely rethinking our traditional Mouse and Ducks into new adventures.
 


THE FAREWELL SONG OF MARCEL LAMBRUME
Highly Recommended. Fantagraphics' first entry in its planned Micheluzzi library, which will reprint all of his most significant works. Micheluzzi is one of the most iconic graphic stylists of the European comics scene, known for his elegant line and stunning draftsmanship. He drew many graphic novels between 1974 and 1990, mostly of adventurous stories grounded in historical reality with a patina of romanticism, in the tradition of Milton Caniff, Sergio Toppi and Hugo Pratt. Minor nudity. Fantagraphics, 2024....More.

Item Code: FARESH
Hard Cover, 8x11, 144pg, Full Color
$24.99 $22.99
I wish I were more familiar with this artist, he’s very impressive. Fantagraphics plans a series of books of his work. Reminds me of Toppi, and the story looks like fun.
 


JIMI HENDRIX PURPLE HAZE
By Mellow Brown and DJ Ben Ha Meen. Art by Tom Mandrake. This 23rd Century psychedelic space odyssey sees Jimi Hendrix wrap up a tour of seven star systems...and embark on a quest to the center of the universe, looking for a talisman to unlock the energy of his music and stop an intersellar war. Artist Tom Mandrake (The Spectre, Batman, Superman) does a fine job of creating an interstellar world while staying true to a powerful portrayal of Hendrix and his fellow traveller/musicians. Bonus: 18 pages of character designs, space ships and vehicles, creature design, early cover version, pencils, and script to art pages. Handsome, impressive hardcover.. Titan, 2024....More.

FOUL PLAY AND OTHER STORIES
Highly Recommended. By Al Feldstein and Ray Bradbury. When Jack Davis took up his pen for EC Comics, what made his innocent victims more eye-poppingly terrified, his ax-murderers more gleefully gruesome, and his revenge-seeking corpses more morbidly motivated was the playful sense of (gallows) humor that he brought to them all. From the pages of Vault of Horror, Haunt of Fear, Crime SuspenStories, and Shock SuspenStories: "Hyde and Go Shriek!", "Tombs-Day!", "Witch Witch's Witch!", "Head-Room!", "Chop Talk!", "Coffin Spell!"...and the infamous "Foul Play."

STAN LEE STORY
Stan "the Man" Lee stands the test of time as the most legendary name in comic book history. Stanley Lieber began working at Timely Comics in 1940 at the age of 17 and found himself at the helm of the bullpen as its top editor just two years later. But it wasn't until 1961 that he ignited a revolution known as the "Marvel Age of Comics." With a legendary stable of art partners including Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, John Romita, and Jim Steranko, Lee unleashed a dizzying cascade of seminal comic book creations — the Fantastic Four, Hulk, Spider-Man, Thor, Iron Man, the X-Men, and the Avengers to name a few. After moving to Hollywood in 1980, he did it again, developing TV and film projects that laid the groundwork for the "Marvel movie." Taschen, 2024. Due: Dec....More.

Berni Wrightson Tribute

We ordered 125 copies and we’re ending up with 20--out of the 500-copy run, after allocations. We’ve stopped taking orders for this. It is not yet out. I did mention I thought it would sell out. I wish/hope they’ll go back for another printing. Obviously many people want it. Meanwhile, here’s more Wrightson.

 

V.T. Hamlin’s Alley Oop

The publisher has just informed us that he’s getting low on several, and he does not intend to reprint them. This entire series, both the Hamlins and the Graue collections, have been very solid sellers for us. As a fan of Oop myself, it’s very cool to see how well these have done. But be aware: these are the titles he informed us about; we’ll bring in some extra but we’ll run out eventually.

V.T. Hamlin Dailies: 1954 (very low), 1955, 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1962 (very low), 1963

Produced "from the depths" of King's Reach Tower by the mysterious "undead" editor Ghastly McNasty, the first issue of Scream! was unleashed on March 24, 1984. More tongue-in-cheek than horrific, the comic was an immediate hit with younger fans as it included a pair of fake vampire fangs attached to the cover and a number of fantastic new strips from such talents as Alan Moore, John Wagner, Jose Ortiz, Cam Kennedy, Tom Tully, Alan Grant, and Eric Bradbury. Rebellion/2000AD...More.

IT ROSE FROM THE TOMB The 20th Century's Best Horror Comics
Highly Recommended. An all-new examination of the 20th Century's best horror comics, written by Peter Normanton (editor of From The Tomb, the UK’s preeminent magazine on the genre). From the pulps and seminal horror comics of the 1940s, through ones they tried to ban in the 1950s, this explores how the genre survived the introduction of the Comics Code, before making its terrifying return during the 1960s and 1970s. Come face-to-face with the early days of ACG’s alarming line, every horror comic from June 1953, hypodermic horrors, DC’s Gothic romance comics, Marvel’s Giant-Size terrors, Skywald's and Warren’s chillers, and Atlas Seaboard’s shocking magazines.

DISNEY MASTERS Volume 25 Mickey Mouse The River of Time
By Corrado Mastantuono and Francesco Artibani. How did Peg Leg Pete become Mickey’s arch-enemy? Sail into the past aboard that infamous riverboat Steamboat Willie... and see how a standoff between Mickey, Pete, and jewel thief Jeb Fishbone sank the ship—and lost Mouseton’s biggest gem in the roaring rapids! Can Mickey and Pete raise Steamboat Willie today? Or will they destroy each other trying? The adventures continue as Donald and Gyro Gearloose battle their brassy new neighbor, one-duck disaster area Boomer Buff, in “The Case of the Amazing Brain.” And then Mickey is back for round two—and maybe three?—when a “Mouse in the Mirror” turns real, and Mickey faces off with Ricky Rodent, an evil twin who’s also a better detective!

INNOCENCE AND SEDUCTION The Art of Dan Decarlo
Dan DeCarlo worked mostly on wholesome all-American features like Archie’s Girls Betty and Veronica and My Friend Irma, but he populated these innocent stories with his irresistibly attractive women. His unique blend of hilarious homespun humor and libido-sparking art made DeCarlo’s work outshine the competition. Though best known as the definitive Archie Comics artist and creator of Josie and the Pussycats and Sabrina the Teenage Witch, DeCarlo also brought his unique style to dozens of other characters including Millie the Model, Big Boy, Batman, and The Simpsons. With Innocence and Seduction: The Art of Dan DeCarlo, DeCarlo fan, friend, and fellow cartoonist Bill Morrison have produced the ultimate book on this remarkable artist, lavishly designed with nearly 350 illustrations. Fantagraphics, 2024. Due: Oct....More.

$65.00 $59.99

We’re very pleased to see a new, revised edition of this fine book. I’m a huge DeCarlo fan myself. I just got reintroduced to author Bill Morrison (The Simpson’s Treehouse of Horror) at the Stockton Con here in California, earlier this month…I’ll check in with him about signing a bookplate for this, since he’s a well-known humor artist in his own right.

Stay tuned, but you might reserve your copy early. Fantagraphics keeps a lot of their print runs tight and some of their best books sell out. Case(s) in point: EC Fan-Addict #5 and 6, and now Web of Horror (we have a couple left; I sure hope they reprint it, it’s a Highest Recommendation sleeper).

Here is more DeCarlo, in Archie collections and in Treehouse of Horror!

 


TERRY AND THE PIRATES THE MASTER COLLECTION Volume 9 1943
By Milton Caniff. Flip Corkin schools Joe Jitsu in good ol’ American know-how before he schools Terry about the ins-and-outs of being a fighter pilot. The October 17th Sunday page—as Terry earns his wings and Flip delivers "The Pilot’s Creed"—is so powerful it was read into the Congressional Record. Before that can happen, wily Rouge abducts Taffy Tucker and gives her amnesia before slipping away! Taffy is in safe hands, however, when she falls under the wing of Connie, Big Stoop, and Navy Lieutenant Pat Ryan! Taffy’s reunion with her memory and with Flip coincides with the arrival of Flight Lieutenant Tote Bonny and Grett Murmur, while Terry investigates the French Captain Midi, whom some find almost—hypnotic.

ACME NOVELTY DATEBOOK Volume 3
By Chris Ware. Exquisitely crafted fine art doodles, hand-selected meanderings and artisanal re-writings of personal conflict are scattered throughout comic strips unconsciously revealing private hostilities and unflattering portraits of public transportation riders, the whole carefully cleansed of any impugnable or litigious tracery. As a professional adult-picture-book drawer and regular contributor to the New Yorker, Le Monde and the Illinois Cook County Assessor’s office, Mr. Ware’s work in these pages secures his reputation as an reliably unreliable self-narrator, willing to say or write anything to win petty disputes and imagined squabbles.
