THE FANTASTIC WORLDS OF FRANK FRAZETTA
Limited First Edition, 6000 individually numbered copies. Available from us but now out of print. Our Highest Recommendation. Introduction by Dan Nadel. This monograph is the biggest and most complete ever produced on the artist, done in collaboration with the Frazetta family and with top collectors. Frank Frazetta has reigned as the undisputed lord of fantasy art for 50 years, his fame only growing in the 10 years since his death. With his paintings now breaking auction records, he's long overdue for this ultimate monograph. This has a LOT of material never before seen or rarely seen. Many nudes that Frank just did for himself are here; early work from his youth and early days in comics, Li'l Abner and Thunda pages, early comic book covers — all from his original art. There are also later advertising works never before collected, early paperback covers now show from the paintings.

THIMBLE THEATRE The Pre-Popeye Comics of EC Segar Revised Edition
Newly revised and expanded. Recommended. E.C. Segar began his comics career in the movies. He drew cartoons for silent movie theater slides, the Charlie Chaplin comic strip, and a daily strip about Chicago’s movies and entertainment. Then, in 1919, he penned his own “small screen” creation for the newspapers, Thimble Theatre, where Popeye was to be born a decade later. Here are examples of all of Segar’s early comics and illustrations, with 100 pre-Popeye Thimble Theatre Sunday pages including the complete run of the famed Western desert saga, a series that rivals his later work in superb art, storytelling, and humor. Fantagraphics, 2024. Rush Service and International shipping would require an additional charge. ...More.

Highly Recommended. Title page in silver ink and 12 pages in full color! A lengthy new adaptation of the only H.P. Lovecraft story published as a book during his lifetime, by modern horror master Gou Tanabe. We're very impressed with the dark tonal art (this is not typical manga pen and ink)...it's wonderfully moody and rich and creepy. In the winter of 1927-28, the isolated coastal settlement of Innsmouth, Massachusetts was assaulted by U.S. government agents “ its waterfront burned and dynamited, its people taken away to internment camps.Yet that was neither the beginning nor the end of the horror uncovered by a young antiquarian who traveled to Innsmouth in search of rumors from the town's dead past, only to find them still very much alive...and find truths lying under water deeper and colder than any earthly grave! Dark Horse, 2023....More.

TELL ME A STORY WHERE THE BAD GIRL WINS The Life And Art of Barbara Shermund
By Caitlin McGurk. An official biography and coffee table art collection honoring the life and art of pioneering cartoonist Barbara Shermund, an unheralded early master of magazine cartooning whose career spanned its heyday from the 1920s-1960s. Her sharp wit and loose style boldly tapped the zeitgeist of first-wave feminism with vivid characters that were alive and astute. Shermund’s women spoke their minds about sex, marriage, and society; smoked cigarettes and drank; and poked fun at everything in an era when it was not common to see young women doing so. Shermund left behind a body of work that was ahead of its time and remains insightful, witty, relevant, and contemporary. Fantagraphics, 2024. Due: Nov....More.

Place your order before noon PST, Monday through Friday for SAME DAY shipping (for in-stock items).
