JMB THE UNSEEN ART OF JOHN M. BURNS Limited, 500. Oversized Hardcover. By John Burns and John Dakins. John M. Burns was one of Britain's, if not the world's, finest continuity artists. In a career spanning over 60 years, he drew newspaper strips: The Seekers; Danielle; George and Lynne; Modesty Blaise; Eartha; Jane; and Psycops to name but a few. Although always in demand, John found time between his numerous long term work commitments to help John Dakin in his quest to revive the British newspaper comic strip. Unfortunately this revitalization never happened, but over a 15 year period, both Johns created sexy (and often unclothed) new characters — spies, assassins, hookers, artist models...these are full color pages that until now have barely been seen by the public. Book Palace, 2025. Mature Readers. ...More. Item Code: JMBH Hard Cover, 10x13, 68pg, Partial Color $52.99 |

CHIMUSHI I & II HC Set of Two Volumes Text in Japanese. Chimushi I & II by Toshio Saeki. In a wacky mixture of classical Japanese woodblock style and contemporary Hello Kitty kitsch, illustrator Toshio Saeki challenges just about every taboo you can think of, and a few you probably never even considered.

Crumb inspired in this country during the seventies. Toshio Saeki was interested in Western art. An important inspiration for him was the Frenchman Tomi Ungerer. Saeki's works often depict sexuality and brutality in a very explicit way, combining traditional Shunga and Yokai styles with elements of Western art. Ram Publications, 1995-1996.

SEX AND HORROR The Art of Roberto Molino Closeout Price! This is the fifth title in the bestselling series Sex and Horror, which celebrates the publishing phenomenon known as "fumetti sexy" — Italian adult comics with a unique take on such genres as horror, crime, fantasy, history, and fairy tales. Wilder and weirder than you can imagine, they were some of the most outrageous and shocking comics ever produced. The comics were hugely successful due in part to their uninhibited mix of twisted humor, gory violence, and up-front eroticism; however, what makes them so sought-after today is their technicolor cover illustrations rendered by classically trained painters.

WILD GIRL: WILHEMINA OF THE RIVER BOTTOM Signed Signed! 1st orders will include a full color oversized bookmark, while supply last! Recommended. Leslie Cabarga resurrects this legend from obscurity in eight hand drawn and photo-fummetti stories, spanning the years 1897-2027. Wilhemina the wild waif, abandoned in various far-away forests by random negligent moms, and one totally screwy mad scientist, grows to adulthood never having seen another human being — or clothing! That is, until her bucolic, idyllic, idiosyncratic, existence hurls this savage daughter into the modern world. Cabarga has drawn four comics stories spoofing such classics as The Yellow Kid, Betty Boop, Anime, and 60s psychedelic European comics, with four “fumetti” or photo-comics. They include a spurious 1924 German silent film, an improbable 1960s TV sitcom, an alleged documentary, and a sci-fi fantasy about a Wild Female Cyborg called Wilderella who conquers the world in her “birthday suit!” Iconoclassics, 2025.
