CONAN SONGS OF THE SLAIN Recommended. By Tim Lebbon. Art by Juan Alberto Hernansez. From Titan Books, a brand new prose adventure of Robert E. Howard's Conan by a NY Times bestselling author whose work, The Silence, is currently on Netflix. When the Cimmerian is a 20-year-old prisoner of war, on the verge of death, he makes a promise to a fellow prisoner, Baht Tann. Conan would grant a favor, wherever and whenever Tann called it in. The men escaped, parted ways and after a life filled with violence and tumult, Conan became King of Aquilonia. Married with a child and presiding over a period of peace and stability, Conan's sword has been sheathed for too long. When a wounded Baht Tann arrives in Aquilonia, his wife has been murdered, and his two children kidnapped. He asks Conan to save his children and avenge his wife. It will be a perilous journey, chasing men with no honor — and Conan leaves without hesitation. Titan, 2025....More. Item Code: CONSLH Hard Cover, 6x9, 304pg, Text/b&w $28.99 |

ARTHUR RACKHAM MASTERPIECES OF ART Bargain Priced. Recommended. By Joseph Simas. Victorian born illustrator and artist Arthur Rackham influenced much of the book and commercial illustration art of the first half of the 20th Century. The impish detail of his hundreds of drawings brought humor, pathos and romance to fairy stories and classic tales, from the Brothers Grimm and Peter Pan to his exquisite work on Alice in Wonderland. His water-color work and the graceful power of his ink and line work influenced the Golden Age illustrators of the 1920s, through to the pulps of Weird Tales, and the comic book artists of today, including Michael Kaluta, Charles Vess and others. 21-page illustrated career overview by Simas.

STRANGE Volume 1 Collects #1-5, 1957-58. By Alex A. Blum and Iger Shop. From tiny company Ajax, here's an early post-code mystery and supernatural title. They offer very good covers and the artwork and stories are very much in the pre-code style. The Iger shop used the same artists that were doing Fiction House titles like Ghost, Jumbo, Wings and Sheena. There are even creepy and horror elements to the story, but without the overt blood and guts prevalent before the comics code. "Banshee Belle," " The Black Cloud," "The Phantom Archers," "Portrait of Greed," "Prisoner of the Shadows," "Strange Spirits," etc. PS Artbooks, 2025....More. |

Turning into a bestseller for us. Our shipment came in two parts and we ran through our first copies. But two more orders are coming, so we’ll have more any day now. [FRAFL. $35]. Arnie Fenner told me specifics on the art new to this edition, and I’ve added his specifics to the full description and at the very bottom of this email. Meanwhile, the collectible deluxe 2025 Frazetta Calendar is a whopping 75% off! [FRBU25. |

Our reorder arrived but again with damages; we got almost all the backorders filled. Our source packs like, well, badly. Our re-order is on backorder, so arrival date is unknown.

Cruel Kingdom, Cruel Universe, Epitaphs from the Abyss |

Tom Spurgeon Award – Ohio State |
I’ve been given an award by the Billy Ireland Museum, the annual Tom Spurgeon award. If I can swing it, I’ll put in an appearance at their days-long show in October—it's just that it's almost on top of OAF and two other shows we are doing near the same time. But I am honored to be getting the award, for service to fandom, and I’ll put a link here as soon as something more is up on their website. Here’s the 2024 award winner. |
The unpublished art is on pages 1, 39 (one of the Vampis), 40 (two of the roughs), 45 (the Gollum rough), 60 (the two roughs), 70, 71 (all 3 printed in color for the first time), 73, 74, 76, and 77. 18 pieces, I think; some of the Book Club illustrations haven't been included in any other FF book, either, and it includes more Canaveral art in one place, including Caz's complete Frazetta Burroughs portfolio from 1968, which first collected the work for TWO Canaveral Press hardcovers that were never published, Pellucidar and At the Earth’s Core! ~Bud |
