THE ART OF PULP FICTION An Illustrated History of Vintage Paperbacks
Our Highest Recommendation. Edited by Ed Hulse, with Will Murray, Gary Lovisi and David Saunders. Wow, this looks even better than I could have imagined. Finally, THE book on vintage paperback art — a visual feast of great artwork! -Bud. From 1940 to 1970, paperbacks eclipsed pulp magazines and hardbound books as the most popular delivery vehicle for escapist fiction. And it was all about the cover art. To catch the eyes of potential buyers they were adorned with covers that were invariably vibrant, frequently garish, and often lurid.IDW, 2021. ...More.

Artist's Editions

 


JOHN BUSCEMA'S MARVEL HEROES Artist's Edition
Highly Recommended. Includes several complete stories, as well as an outstanding sampling of covers and his finest pages from the mid 1960s to the late '70s. Viewing these pages, it's easy to see why John Buscema has been called the Michelangelo of comics. Stan's go-to artist for the best in anatomy and drama, he set the standard on The Silver Surfer, The Avengers, Conan, Fantastic Four and Thor. An amazing illustrator who was nearly too good for comics! IDW, 2021. Due to weight or size, Rush Service and International shipping could require an additional charge. ...More.

TODD MCFARLANE'S SPIDER-MAN Artist's Edition
Recommended. Huge oversized volume. Todd McFarlane’s gorgeous work on Spider-Man was nothing less than groundbreaking. His intense version of the web-slinging wallcrawler took the character to new heights, instilling in the character a sense of energy and vitality rarely seen before. First, in The Amazing Spider-Man, written by David Michelinie, and then in a spin-off series, with both story and art by McFarlane. McFarlane took each character and made them his own — Green Goblin, Hobgoblin, Sandman, the Vulture, the Lizard, plus his classic interpretations of the Incredible Hulk and Wolverine! And let’s not forget his alluring Mary Jane! IDW, 2022. Rush Service and International shipping would require an additional charge. ...More.

FRANK MILLER'S DAREDEVIL Artist's Edition
Recommended. By Roger McKenzie. Frank Miller helped redefine sequential storytelling in the early 1980s. His style, influenced by Will Eisner’s The Spirit, was new and exciting. One of his earliest Daredevil issues featured the introduction of Elektra and was the first issue Miller wrote. This features pages from Miller’s earliest beginnings on Daredevil (issues #159, 163, 165), as well as the glory days when Miller began writing the character as well as drawing it, including #168 (first Elektra), as well as his continuing run on issues #169, 171, 172, 174-181 (#181 being the oversized classic "Death of Elektra"), followed by pages from issues #184-191 ( Miller’s final issue). Includes 20 covers. IDW, 2023. Rush Service and International shipping would require an additional charge. ...More.

FORBIDDEN WORLDS Volume 12
Collects #71-76, 1958-59. Highly Recommended. By Al Williamson, John Buscema, Paul Reinman, Ogden Whitney, Mike Roy, John Rosenberger et al. Six new issues, more than 20 stories by the fine writer Richard Hughes and a solid stable of artists, including EC's own Al Williamson.

George Evans is doing work here as good as anything at EC. Bernard Baily, whose horror work is held in high esteem these days, does at least one cover and some stories. Bob Powell is giving it his usual 100%. Written with more plot and better dialogue, these are not the blood and gore that the other publishers depended upon. This is an exceptional pre-code title.

Steve Ditko provides three covers and multiple stories in three issues, all excellent pre-Spider-Man work, backed up by Charles Nicholas, Bill Fraccio, Bill Molno, and Rocco Mastroserio.

After a pitched battle with the British army, Gorgo's mother, Ogra, was able to free her child and they both went lumbering back to the sea. That, however, was not the last the world heard of Gorgo.

CINEMA OF SWORDS
A History and Guide to Movies About Knights, Pirates, Barbarians, and Vikings. Recommended. By Lawrence Ellsworth. A history and homage to nearly four hundred movies and television shows featuring swashbucklers, knights, pirates, samurai, Vikings, gladiators, outlaw heroes like Zorro and Robin Hood, and anyone else who lives by the blade and solves their problems with the point of a sword. Though swordplay thrives as a mainstay of current pop culture— whether Game of Thrones or Lord of the Rings or Star Wars — swashbuckling was if anything even more ubiquitous during Hollywood’s classic period, from its foundations in the Silent Era up through the savage bursts of fantasy films in the '80s.

Contains seven black and white original prints done specifically for this, the first signed & numbered. All of the prints are in an illustrated folder inside an illustrated envelope. Includes certificate of authenticity, numbered and dated. This publisher kicked off the portfolio "boom" in the late 1970s, and this is one of their best efforts, done while John and Marie were doing the Marvel Comics Kull series. Beautiful work. Envelope has the number in pencil, and its corners are lightly bumped, with slight discoloration on the very edges. The portfolio itself is as new. Middle Earth, 1977....More.

THUN'DA KING OF THE CONGO Volume 1 Hardcover Hurt
Collects #2-6, 1952-53. Highly Recommended. By Bob Powell. First appearing in comics in 1952 and on film in Columbia Pictures serial "King of the Congo" starring Buster Crabbe, Thun'da was a fictional Tarzan-esque character scripted by Gardner Fox and originally created by artist Frank Frazetta! Thun'da was Roger Drum, a World War II United States Air Force officer who was shot down while flying over a lost civilization, deep in the heart of Africa. Bob Powell took over and did a superb job on #2 through #6, collected here — but Powell's fine work has always been in the shadow of Frazetta's work in issue #1. Powell's at his best here, with Thund'da and his voluptuous girl friend...it's as exciting as the work he did on Cave Girl, which is another under-appreciated title from the same publisher, Magazine Enterprises (ME).

Collects The Avenger #1-4, 1955 and The Killers #1, 1947 (L.B. Cole cover). Recommended. A rare 1955 superhero that predates the start of the Silver Age! The Avenger was created by Dick Ayers, Bob Powell, and renowned writer Gardner Fox. Wealthy scientist Roger Wright became a super-hero to avenge the death of his brother, tortured and killed by Soviet agents. The Avenger had no powers, but he had his own inventions to fall back on, most notably his VTOL aircraft known as the Starjet and Dissolver pistol. And a lovely assistant! PS Artbooks, 2024.

Featured here is story after story by the legendary Lou Fine, one of the most impressive and influential artists to ever work in comics. His fluid figures were admired and copied by such greats as Joe Simon and Jack Kirby. In the early 40's, the heyday of the Golden Age, he worked at Quality Comics along with such greats as Reed Crandall, Jack Cole and Will Eisner and in addition to his impressive covers, he worked on such comics as the Black Condor and created The Ray. Also here: Will Eisner, Otto Binder, John Cassone, Charles Sultan, John Belfi and Rudy Palais, all superior artists working on two of Quality's strongest feature characters. PS Artbooks, 2024.

Their popularity won them their own title that lasted 16 issues, to 1946, and featured superb covers by the genius Mac Raboy, and fine story artwork by Charles Sultan, an unsung but brilliant artist often mistaken for Raboy. This collects three 64-page issues in their entirety and more artwork by Bob Rogers, Torchy's own Bill Ward and The Binder Shop. Includes stories by Otto Binder and Manly Wade Wellman.

This popular Fawcett hero, the cover feature on Master Comics until Captain Marvel Jr. took it over, gains his own bi-monthly title. Join Jim Barr and Susan Kent as they harness the might of science to become Bulletman and Bulletgirl, defending a world teetering on the edge of chaos in the midst of World War II. Raboy provides the cover art (no stories) for #4 and #5, and the excellent artist Charles Sultan draws the cover of #6. Much of the art inside is not attributed (Ward does do a story in each issue).

THE BLUE BEETLE Volume 1 Hurt
Collects #1-3, 1940. Highly Recommended. By Charles Nicholas et al. Blue Beetle was revived in the 60s by Charlton and Steve Ditko first, and later by DC Comics. But here we find the original Golden Age creation, who had a long tenure in his own title as well as Wonderworld Comics. Fox Publications had many top talents in their earliest comics — #1 features a Lou Fine cover and multiple stories by Will Eisner (Yarko the Magician) and Bob Powell. Joe Simon drew the cover of #3, just before partnering up with Jack Kirby! With dynamic visuals and a narrative that captures the spirit of a bygone era...the roots of superhero storytelling, where it all began! PS Artbooks, 2024. Condition: Bumped corners....More.

But the emphasis here is on BB by Charles Nicholas, Fox's longest running hero and in fact revived in the 1960s and even a 2023 film! He lasted into the 1950s, was taken over by Charlton and revived a few years later in the 60s, and even DC got involved. PS Artbooks, 2024. Condition: Bumped corners....More.

Plus the pre-code horror Weird Tales of the Future (1952). Harvey Kurtzman felt "Wolverton never borrowed, never hacked, and he never shortchanged the public — Wolverton was an original."
