| THE FANTASTIC ART OF RON TURNER Highly Recommended. Written by Turner’s long-time friend and agent John Lawrence (1944-2023), this is the first-ever comprehensive biography of the wild and unique science fiction book cover artist. Artist Ron Turner (1922-1998) was a British master of science fiction book and magazine covers, and a comic strip legend. In a career spanning five decades, he provided illustrations for hundreds of classic SF paperbacks, numerous periodicals and some of the UK’s most fondly-remembered comics, his strip work taking in everything from Doctor Who‘s Daleks and the Supermarionation shows of Gerry Anderson to 2000 AD’s Judge Dredd. Telos, 2025....More. Item Code: FANTRTH Hard Cover, 8x11, 320pg, Full Color $99.00 |

THE REALLY COMPLETE PARADISE TOO By Terry Moore Special Hardcover Signed Sale Price! Signed! Recommended. Before Terry Moore launched his comic book career with Strangers In Paradise, he spent years honing his ideas and artistic chops drawing comic strips. Katchoo, Francine, David and more were all developed in comic strip formats that never saw the light of day until they were finally published in a limited comic book series titled Paradise TOO in 2010 with a tiny print run. There is more, way more than would fit into the original book. Terry continues to draw, draw, draw and the cartoons keep coming! It was decided that it’s time for a new book collecting the best of the original and new work! Abstract Studio, 2024....More. Item Code: RECPHS Hard Cover, 8x11, 344pg, Full Color |

THE ULTIMATE COSMOS How a 1933 Serial Reshaped Science Fiction Limited to 100. By Eando Binder, Edmond Hamilton, Ralph Milne Farley, David H. Keller, John W. Campbell, O.A. Kline, A. Merritt, E.E. Smith, et al. The creators of The Visual History of Science Fiction Fandom bring you the story of Cosmos — a remarkable serial novel from 1933, with chapters by sixteen of the most prominent authors of the day. A rousing space opera with sweeping galactic scope and epic battles in space! Yet even more astonishing is the tale of how this extravagant novel came to be. Orchestrated by a scrappy, ambitious cadre of young fans — mostly teenagers — the creation of Cosmos is a seminal episode in the history of science fiction. Unique to this publication are thirty-seven original illustrations by Clay Ferguson, Jr., commissioned by the editors for private editions of the novel and the personal inscriptions of the authors to Raymond A. Palmer, the primary force behind an event that reshaped the genre. First Fandom, 2025....More. Item Code: ULTCH Hard Cover, na, 350pg, Full Color $125.00 |

COVER STORY The 2000 AD Design Art of Robin Smith By Karl Stock. The early '80s saw 2000 AD hit its golden era. With Judge Dredd, Strontium Dog, Rogue Trooper,Sláine and more firing on all cylinders it became the UK's most exciting and innovative comic. Its covers played no small part in its appeal, and those covers were the brainchild of Robin Smith whose job was to lay out a cover design to pass to an artist who would transform it into the finished product. This collection of Smith's cover layouts — accompanied by each finished, full color cover — shows just how integral his ideas were to some of 2000 AD's most famous and revered covers. Cover art by Brian Bolland, Dave Gibbons, Carlos Ezquerra, Kevin O'Neill, Mick McMahon, Ian Gibson, Alan Davis, Steve Dillon, Cam Kennedy and 11 others. Rebellion/2000 AD, 2025....More. Item Code: COVSRS Soft Cover, 8x11, 176pg, Full Color $30.99 |

R. CRUMB EXISTENTIAL COMICS Selected Stories 1979-2004 Recommended. This volume brings together twenty-five of R. Crumb’s most ambitious, acclaimed, and profound comics: characters searching for an understanding of the world around and within themselves. Through adaptation, autobiography, biography, and short fiction, Crumb, much like his subjects, demands we pay attention to our darkest desires, compulsions, fears, and obsessions. Features a new, introductory comic strip by Crumb! Editor Dan Nadel’s essay further weaves together Crumb’s life, career, and influences, delving into the creative environment that informed some of the artist’s most outstanding comics. David Zwirner Books, 2025. Mature Readers....More. Item Code: RCEXH Hard Cover, 10x12, 208pg, b&w |

ALSO AVAILABLE CRUMB A CARTOONIST'S LIFE Our Highest Recommendation. By Dan Nadel. The first biography of Robert Crumb, one of the most profound and influential artists of the 20th century, whose iconic, radically frank and meticulously rendered cartoons and comics inspired generations of readers and cartoonists. Now, for the first time, Dan Nadel, a curator and writer specializing in comics and art, shares how this complicated artist survived childhood abuse, fame in his twenties, more fame, and came out the other side intact. Including forty-five stunning black-and-white images throughout and a sixteen-page color insert featuring images both iconic and obscure. Scribner, 2025....More.

FRACTURE: JAPANESE GRAPHIC DESIGN 1875-1975 Profusely illustrated with children’s book pages, travel posters, maps, product advertisements, erotic magazine covers and more — a visual treasure trove of Japanese ephemera. Author Ian Lynam surveys Japanese design across a century through the biographies of its most influential creators — 90 pacesetters shaping the country’s modern aesthetic. We meet Hani Motoko, considered Japan’s first female journalist, who commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright to build the "Hall for Tomorrow" schoolhouse in Toshima City, Tokyo. In the 1930s a vision of the modern Japanese woman emerges in the advertisements of Hisui Sugiura and Tada Hokuu. Set Margins, 2025....More.

LOST MARVELS Vol 1 Tower of Shadows Collects the NEW material from #1-9, 1969-71. Our Highest Recommendation. By Stan Lee, Roy Thomas, Gerry Conway, Len Wein et al. In 1969, with its revolutionary superhero line well established, Marvel took a chance on the kind of supernatural, EC-style anthology series that had been banned since the formation of the Comics Code in the 1950s. Tower of Shadows began featuring entirely new stories with a staggering array of artists: Neal Adams, Jim Steranko, Barry Windsor-Smith, John Buscema, Berni Wrightson, Wally Wood, John Romita, Johnny Craig, Tom Sutton & othersAtmospheric gems of twisted suspense and sardonic horror.

DC FINEST SUPERBOY The Super-Dog From Krypton Stories from Adventure Comics #199-216 and Superboy #33-43, 1954-55. Recommended. By Otto Binder, Jerry Coleman et al. Art by Curt Swan, John Sikela, Ray Burnley et al. Despite having superpowers, being Superboy sure ain’t easy! Especially if you happen to be growing up in Smallville, Kansas, where subterranean cities, super brats, and robot doubles seem to be a dime a dozen And then there is teen-aged Lana Lang, always trying to prove Clark Kent is really Superboy! I find these stories a lot of fun. They happen in a world without other superheroes, just small-town Smallville in the 1930s. These are much like the Smallville television series but there's no Luthorcorp or Luthor, just relatively simple adventures and challenges in a far simpler time! Great fun. - Bud. DC Comics, 2025....More. Item Code: DCFSS Soft Cover, 7x10, 544pg, Full Color |
| Click for all the DC Finest collections. They’re doing a very good job with these. Our favorite is still Plastic Man; Aquaman has done well, and The Flash, Supergirl, JSA and The Legion. |
 |
ALSO AVAILABLE DC FINEST PLASTIC MAN The Origin of Plastic Man Collects Police Comics #1-36 and Plastic Man #1-2, 1941-44. Our Highest Recommendation. By Jack Cole. This, in my eyes, is the very best DC Finest collection yet! At long last, here are the first THIRTY SIX Plastic Man stories from Police Comics #1-36 — including his origin and all the wild first stories, entirely written and drawn by the acknowledged genius, Jack Cole. Plus his first two individual comics, Plastic Man #1 and 2. He can bounce, stretch, and crack wise, but can he save the day? And, more importantly, does he even want to? Jack Cole took the superhero business and turned it all around on its head, with wildly creative stories, beautiful gal villains, goofy bad guys, and flat non-stop action in every panel. - Bud DC Comics, 2025....More.

ROY CRANE'S BUZ SAWYER Volume 5 Island of the Lotus Eaters 1952-1955. Highly Recommended. Introduction by Rick Norwood. A classic strip by one of the finest comic strip artists of his day. Straight from the headlines of the day, these eleven stories propel ace troubleshooter Buz Sawyer from Africa to South America to the Arctic Circle, from the heart of a hurricane to a plague of ravenous locusts. Meanwhile, back home, a femme fatale seduces Buz’s C.O. to steal military secrets. Then, it’s every parent’s worst nightmare — Buz and Christy’s new baby is kidnapped right from the hospital! Roy Crane, dean of the golden age of adventure comic strips, peppers these rollicking tales with rapid-fire action, suspense, intrigue, humor, unforgettable characters, and brilliant art. Now, at last, you can enjoy these stories, unseen since the 1950s. Look inside — and brace yourself for a wild ride! Fantagraphics, 2025....More. Item Code: BUZ05H Hard Cover, 9x9, 344pg, b&w |

The Complete Wash Tubbs and Captain Easy, volumes 10-18 was published by the Flying Buttress Classics Library. The comic strip was launched on April 21, 1924. It was widely considered to be one of the first great adventure comic strips! Wash Tubbs was a small fellow with big spectacles who quickly emerged as a slang-slinging, girl-chasing opportunist. Soon Tubbs would be joined by Captain Easy the classic soldier of fortune. Easy was a wanderer, boxer, cook, aviator, seaman, explorer, and soldier. Flying Buttress, 1990-1992. Out of Print.

THE SINCEREST FORM OF PARODY New Printing. Highly Recommended. By Jack Davis, Will Elder, Norman Maurer, Carl Hubbell, William Overgard, Jack Kirby, Dick Ayers, Bill Everett, Al Hartley, Ross Andru and Mike Esposito, Hy Fleischman, Jay Disbrow, Howard Nostrand, and Bob Powell. When Mad became a surprise hit as a comic book in 1953 other comics publishers were quick to jump onto the bandwagon, eventually bringing out a dozen imitations with titles like Flip, Whack, Nuts, Crazy, Wild, Riot, Eh, Unsane, Bughouse, and Get Lost. This collects the best and the funniest material from these comics, including parodies of movies (20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, From Here To Eternity), TV shows (What's My Line, The Late Show), comic strips (Little Orphan Annie, Rex Morgan), novels (I, the Jury), plays (Come Back, Little Sheba), advertisements (Rheingold Beer, Charles Atlas), classic literature ("The Lady or the Tiger"), and history (Pancho Villa). Some of this is so good you'd have thought it was done in Mad! Some didn't even try for parody, but instead published odd, goofy, off-the-wall stories. Fantagraphics, 2025....More. Item Code: SINCF Soft Cover, 8x11, 208pg, Full Color |
| Here’s the original Mad Magazine, history, Artist’s Edition and Archives! And Harvey Kurtzman’s Trump #2 ($35) and Help #1 (4 copies from $30 to $60)! |

ALSO AVAILABLE GET LOST The Comic Designed To Send You! By Ross Andru and Mike Esposito. Are you a fan of Kurtzman’s Mad or Cracked? If so, you must see Ross Andru and Mike Esposito‘s historic Mad-imitation comic, collected here. Three groundbreaking, laugh-filled issues were published before Bill Gaines sued the magazine's distributor, shutting down production of the magazine—even though Gaines lost the lawsuit. Notable spoofs here include Shane, Hondo, Stan Freberg, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Mike Hammer, Flash Gordon, The Invisible Man, Gunga Din, and the 1950s horror film classic, The Thing! Hermes, 2008. Out of Print. Condition: Very Fine Minus. Very lightly bumped top corner....More. Item Code: RB7188 Soft Cover, 8x11, 96pgs, Full Color $40.00 |

BARBARELLA Volume 3 Woman Untamed Collects The Center Cannot Hold #1-5. Recommended. Art by Riccardo Bogani. The concluding chapter of author Sarah Hoyt's saga, with very good artwork by Bogani, and outstanding covers by Derrick Chew. Beyond the edge of known space lies... the Unnameable. A myth? A god? An unknowable malevolent power? No one knows — no one, that is, but the one force in the universe that can stand against it: the Architects, hidden guides of our galaxy for untold eons. Enter Barbarella, on a desperate quest to find and convince the Architects that their planned war with the Unnameable will mean the death of every living thing in the universe — but even her legendary powers of persuasion may not be equal to the task! Plus 30 covers including all variants. Dynamite, 2025....More. Item Code: BARU03 Soft Cover, 7x10, 120pg, Full Color $19.99 |
| Here is more Barbarella. |

SILVER SURFER Omnibus Volume 1 New printing. The complete Silver Surfer 1st series #1-18 & more, 1968-70. Our Highest Recommendation. By Stan Lee, Roy Thomas et al. Art by John Buscema et al. Experience staggering and unique tales as mankind is explored through the eyes of an outsider. Stan and Jack were very proud of the Surfer, and they gave it their best effort — it kicked off as a double-sized 25-cent comic, with longer stories and greater characterization. These are amazing issues! Norrin Radd sacrificed himself to save his planet and his true love Shalla-Bal from the world-devourer Galactus. The price was servitude as mighty Galactus' herald, the Silver Surfer! Now, exiled on Earth, the Surfer struggles to understand mortal men. Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in the pages of Fantastic Four, here are the first amazing issues of the Surfer's own title, with Lee's socially conscious writing and Kirby's mind-blowing cosmic concepts — joined by the one and only John Buscema! Marvel, 2025....More. Item Code: SILS01H Hard Cover, 7x11, 576pg, Full Color |
| Here’s more Silver Surfer. |

MARVEL FANFARE Omnibus Volume 1 Collects #1-19, 1982. Highly Recommended. In 1982, the comics industry was making rapid advances. The door to higher-quality, prestige titles had been opened with Marvel Fanfare. It was the place to be seen. The series gave industry’s greatest creators — like Frank Miller, Barry Windsor-Smith, Chris Claremont and Michael Golden — a chance to make singular statements on Marvel icons like Captain America, the Thing and Spider-Man. New talents like Mike Mignola and Charles Vess could take their shot for an issue and gain break-out success. And ground-breaking talents like Bill Sienkiewicz could steal the scene with a gallery of pinups that redefined characters in a single image. Marvel, 2025....More.

BLACK CONDOR & THE RAY Volume 2 Collects The Ray from Smash #23-30 and Black Condor from Crack #12-21, 1941-42. Our Highest Recommendation. Art by Lou Fine and Reed Crandall. Don't miss this fine new collection of rare early Quality Group stories. Lou Fine draws every single Black Condor story in this collection, while Reed Crandall draws every Ray story to #29, taking over from Lou Fine with Crack #23. These are two of Quality's earliest and best superheroes. The Ray is zapped by an electrical storm, giving him powers to absorb energy from his surroundings and emit it from his body in any form he chooses, including flight. The Black Condor is Richard Grey, who lost his parents and was raised by giant black condors. From his condor foster parents, he learned to fly. PS Artbooks, 2025....More. |

Art by Jack Kirby, Pete Riss and Jack Binder.A run of stories from this incredibly scarce, obscure title which today sells for many multiples of Guide value. And one of the odder heroes of the Golden Age, whose early adventures were by Jack Kirby, himself a youngster!!! With a whole host of enemies including Chief Skullface, the Fox, Frankenstein, Funnibone, the Green Mummy, the Tiger Lady, the Laughing Head and the Terrible Midge, among others, the Black Owl had plenty to keep him busy!

Keep watching for future sightings; who knows when he'll next orbit our world! Space Adventures #43...Report From Space updates us with the history of the first American manned space flight with Alan Shepard as pictured on the cover — the 2nd man in space! #44 introduces us to Merco, the Mercury Man, the last survivor of Mercury, who travels to Earth in a bid to stop wars and save mankind!

CLASSIC HORROR COMICS Volume 9 Collects Haunted Thrills #12-13, Fantastic Fears #8-9, Man in Black #2, 1953-57. Recommended. Art by Bob Webb, Iger Shop, and Bob Powell. Variant cover. Unearthing more little horrors beginning with Haunted Thrills #12, 1953 where practical joker Biff inherits a haunted house in "Death Laughs Last." And from issue #13, "Death Do Us Part," a baboon kills a man's wife!

BLACK MAGIC Volume 6 Collects #23-27, 1953. Highly Recommended. One of the great pre-code horror titles. Created by genre legends Jack Kirby and Joe Simon, with skilled contributions from Mort Meskin, our boys went in for good plots and interesting tales rather than over-the-top gore and lame stories often found elsewhere. Kirby is all over here, with fine covers and stories in a different genre for him. And Steve Ditko appears in #38 with his SECOND-EVER published story! Four complete 52-page issues.
