DONALD DUCK The Ultimate History
Highly Recommended. In true Taschen fashion, the end-all book on Donald! Nothing succeeds like success, as the saying goes, but in the case of Donald Duck the opposite is true: the candor with which Donald reveals his weaknesses wins our hearts and stays with us forever. Revisit Donald’s life’s work from nine decades in one of the most expansive illustrated publications on the Disney universe. Taschen, 2024.

DAREDEVIL COMICS Volume 1 Hardcover
Collects Daredevil Battles Hitler #1 and Silver Streak #6-17, 1940-41. Highly Recommended. Art by Jack Cole and Don Rico. SSome of the rarest comics of the Golden Age! Here is the original 1940s Daredevil, created by Jack Binder. He was one of the few heroes to last into the 1950s, and this spawned the spin-off villain Iron Jaw, who in his day was as popular as Batman's The Joker. Publisher Lev Gleason began with the iconic Daredevil Battles Hitler #1 (July 1941), then DD appeared in Silver Streak Comics and quickly got his own title continuing with Daredevil #2, which will be collected in Volume 2.

CLASSIC ADVENTURE COMICS Volume 8 Johnny Dynamite Hardcover
Collects #6-10, 1954-55. Recommended. Art by Don Heck and Pete Morisi. Johnny Dynamite was a hard-boiled private detective, known as "The Wild Man from Chicago." Good friends with the D.A. but readily accepted by the underworld, he smoked cigarettes constantly, cursed frequently and had a bad habit of getting shot and beaten by his enemies. But he always gave as good as he got; he was an experienced and persistent detective taking his cases very personally and killed many of his early foes, claiming they were reaching for a weapon. Created by artist/writer Pete Morisi, who in reality was a moonlighting police officer for much of his early career in comics. PS Artbooks, 2024....More.

Graphic Novels

 


CONAN THE BARBARIAN Volume 3 The Age Unconquered
Collects #9-12, 2024. Our Highest Recommendation. A splendid action-packed story written by Jim Zub that would make Robert E. Howard proud with dynamic pulp-infused artwork by Rob de la Torre, who continues to channel the best style of John Buscema — it's gorgeous work. Sent back in time to the Thurian Age, Conan battles terrifying creatures and meets Kull the Conqueror. They quickly realize they must quest together to stop the dark machinations of Thulsa Doom, an ancient necromancer who has contacted a mysterious evil beyond time and space. Titan, 2024....More.

Item Code: CONBB03

MONTE CRISTO
Recommended. By Jordan Mechner, and Alexandre Dumas. Art by Mario Alberti. The classic revenge story, updated for modern times! Sam Castillo embodies the blue-collar American dream — a young, successful contractor, engaged to his sweetheart at age 24, living a happy life... until three enemies conspire to frame him as a terrorist. Sent to a black-site federal prison, Sam befriends a brilliant, multi-lingual inmate who teaches him the ways of the world... and bestows upon him the key to a secret fortune. After 15 years of imprisonment, Sam's daring escape puts him in a financial position to, at last, take revenge against those who betrayed him. Magnetic Press, 2024....More.

COLLECTED TOPPI Volume 11 War Stories
Our Highest Recommendation. Master illustrator and storyteller Sergio Toppi takes on the topic of war in this collection of short stories set in various global conflicts, from the battlefields of Prussia in 1742 to Papua Island in the 19th Century and Southeast Asia and Yugoslavia in the 20th. These classic works have never been published in English until now. As usual, brilliant pen & ink illustration that is amazing just to look at — but we quite enjoy Toppi's storytelling too. It's odd and unique. Magnetic Press, 2024....More.

Item Code: COLT11H

DISNEY ATLANTIS The Lost Empire
Recommended. This comic adaptation of the film features a cover and behind-the-scenes sketches by comics luminary Mike Mignola, whose artistic vision inspired the animation for the film! In the flash of a giant wave, the mighty kingdom of Atlantis disappeared into the sea. For hundreds of generations, the lost empire has remained hidden at the bottom of the ocean. Now, a young man named Milo Thatch has discovered the secret of Atlantis, and a fantastic journey is about to begin! Handsome little hardcover. Papercutz, 2024....More.

DANTE'S INFERNO A Graphic Novel Adaptation
First published in France in 2023. Highly recommended. By Dante Alighieri. Art by Paul Brizzi and Gaëtan Brizzi. Entirely drawn as a homage to Gustave Dore's well-known illustrations, we're really impressed by the artwork, as if Dore himself had drawn this! It's dark and moody and quite the amazing story — a journey into Hell itself! Guided by the poet Virgil, Dante crosses the nine circles of Hell to find his beloved, Beatrice. He confronts sinners and demons: Cleopatra, Helen of Troy, Achilles, and Paris ( whose loves were famously their downfall), the Greek Furies and Medusa — and heretics like Epicurus, writhing in a flaming tomb for eternity. Abrams, 2024....More.

THE FANTASTIC GUSTAVE DORE
Gold-embossed cover, cloth spine. Highly Recommended. By Alix Paré and Valérie Sueur-Hermel. This glorious, authoritative, and unprecedented retrospective of Doré’s prints and paintings, drawn from an oeuvre of more than 10,000 works, comes in a spectacularly ornate package that reflects the artist’s own dramatic style. From the Bible to Shakespeare, Balzac to Milton, Cervantes to Poe, Doré’s intricate, romantic, and exuberant drawings and paintings were turned into steel and wood engravings, bringing great novels and adventures to life. Furthermore, as this magnificent book reveals, he was also a skilled sculptor, painter, and cartoonist. Spectacular production, which features quarter binding, gold foil stamping, embossing on the cover and spine, a belly band, and silkscreen printing on three edges. Includes a small section in color with later landscapes and water colors. Prestel, 2023....More.

Item Code: FANGDH

ALLEY OOP THE ICE AGE 1965 V.T. Hamlin
Daily strips, 1965. Highly Recommended. A picnic on Mars, Robot IO2 comes to Moo, and a mad doctor's mind-altering brain serum mustn't stop Alley Oop from preparing for the one foe that cannot be fought: the oncoming Ice Age! Plus Alley brings modern inventions back to the land of Moo, including a record player, hammock, a television.

REMEMBRANCE Selected Correspondence of Ray Bradbury
Now in paperback. Highly Recommended. The iconic author of Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles, and Something Wicked This Way Comes believed that a collection of his letters could someday illuminate the story of his life in new ways. Remembrance offers the first sustained look at his life in letters from his late teens to his 80s. His correspondence was far-reaching — he interacted with a rich cross-section of 20th-century cultural figures, writers, film directors, editors, and others who simply wanted insights or encouragement from a writer who had enriched their lives through his stories and novels. 16 pages of photos. Over 500 pages! Simon & Schuster, 2024....More.

We’ve extended the sale for three more days, so you still have a chance to get in on it.

No More "Guest" Checkout

Up until now, customers ordering online had a choice to set up an account OR order as a "guest" without an account. Some customers use both options.

However, for several months now we have been being flooded every day with fake "bot" orders…which all come in using the "guest" checkout. We’ve exhausted every other security measure to stop these fake orders -- but to no avail. Every day our staff (read "mostly LaDonna") is spending far too much time to clean up this mess and often, having to credit back fake credit card charges.

We use an IT provider and they have also tried everything else. The ultimate fix for this is to stop our convenient "guest" checkouts. Like many other websites already do, we need customers to actually sign up with us and create a password, a simple and quick procedure.

How to do it: After entering your username and email, you’ll be sent a welcome email to set your password. After creating a password, you’ll be set up in our improved system. After logging into your account you’ll be able to view your orders, see items in your Wishlist, and manage payment details. We are delaying implementing this to give everyone time to sign up as a regular customer.

If you enter your email and you get a message that an account already exists, please use the "lost your password" link to reset if you don’t know your password.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call us and we can walk you through.

And once again, please note: You will receive an email thanking you for creating an account with a link for you to set your new password. It is necessary for you to create a password to complete your account. Check your spam filter if you don’t see the welcome email --this can happen. Frequently our customers will sign up for our specials and weekly emails, but not follow through. To finish creating your account, you need to respond to our email verification.

Thank you for your patience and understanding!

~Bud
