Our Highest Recommendation. By Gerry Conway, Marv Wolfman et al. Art by Berni Wrightson, Neal Adams, Alex Toth, Nick Cardy, Al Williamson, Murphy Anderson, Joe Orlando et al. In 1969 DC began a run of horror, suspense and supernatural stories in their four anthology titles that captivated fans. Their top artists were happy to throw off the shackles of superhero work and create new work that was exciting to read and beautifully drawn. This was not a return to EC but much of it was every bit as good. Young turks like Wrightson and Neal Adams drew superlative covers and stories, while veterans like Alex Toth, Nick Cardy and others reveled in these offbeat, one-off stories. 560 pages of bone-chilling tales.

EC ARCHIVES TWO-FISTED TALES Volume 4 Collects #36-41, the final issues, 1954-55. Our Highest Recommendation. By Harvey Kurtzman, Jack Davis, et al. Art by Jack Davis, John Severin, Evans, Wood, Krigstein and Crandall. As these final issues were produced, editor Harvey Kurtzman turned over the editorial reins to artist John Severin. Stories moved away from WWII and the Korean war and turned to adventure, including western frontier tales starring Indians and gunslingers. Severin took over doing cover art and drew many of the stories, frequently along with superb work by Jack Davis. But also here is a wonderful biography of big game hunter Carl Akeley by Wally Wood. Yet another facet of EC's fine innovation. Dark Horse, 2025....More. Item Code: ECTW04 Soft Cover, 8x11, 216pg, Full Color $19.99 |

This is the first of six volumes, all completed to be released six months apart, the same size as the Prince Valiant reprint volumes. Long time series editor Brian M.

13. VAUGHN BODE'S COMPLETE DEADBONE EROTICA OMNIBUS Highly Recommended. Collecting for the first time in chronological order, underground comix legend Vaughn Bodé’s charmingly risqué strips and “Bodé Broads” from Cavalier magazine (“the kind men like.”). Originally written and drawn in the 1970s, this volume represents a time capsule in erotic humor as only a master of the form could create it. This beautiful hardbound book also collects Bodé’s hard-to-find three-page strips and other rarities: Deadbone, Purple Pictography, etc. With a foreword and additional new art from Vaughn’s son, Mark Bodé.

14. WALT DISNEY'S DONALD DUCK Donald Duck Finds Pirate Gold (Book 1) Collects Four Color #9, 29, WDC&S #31-33 & 35-36, Large Feature Book #7 and much more. Our Highest Recommendation. Volume 1 in The Complete Carl Barks Disney Library is, naturally, filled with firsts: Barks’s first comic book story (starring Pluto), the first Donald Duck story created for an American comic book (and also the first to see Donald and his nephews go on a treasure hunt), Barks’s first Donald 10-pager, Barks’s first truly solo Donald Duck story, and Barks’s first solo longer-form Donald Duck adventure (“The Mummy’s Ring”). With more than 200 pages of story and art, each meticulously restored and newly colored, and the insightful story notes by an international panel of Barks experts, this long-awaited collection of stories makes clear what generations of Disney fans have always known: Carl Barks's work as The Good Duck Artist is some of the greatest American cartooning in the history of comic books.

16. SCIENCE FICTION ODYSSEY Magazine #1 From 1971. Highly Recommended. By Gardner Fox, Harry Harrison, Larry Niven and Terry Carr. Cover & art by Jeff Jones, along with art by Michael Kaluta, Berni Wrightson, Bruce Jones, Rich Buckler, Jack Katz, Vince Colletta, and Chic Stone. For the first time ever, Skywald's famous, never printed magazine!! This would have been the first adult Sci-Fi comic since EC's Incredible Science Fiction, but the belief of the publishers, Sol Brodsky ("Sky", who was a long time Marvel production person) and Israel Waldman ("Wald"), that SF just didn't sell plus budgetary constraints, meant the magazine was withdrawn, although only after film had been made and just before delivery to the printers! PS Artbooks, 2025....More. Item Code: SFOM01 Comic, 7x10, 68pg, b&w $22.99 |

18. LIGHT AND DARK The Art of Lee Elias Our Highest Recommendation. By Nick Neocleous with Michael J. Gilbert. Lee Elias was born in 1920 and drew comics for several decades from the 1940s to the 1980s. His lush brushstrokes were equally matched by his fine pen line. Now at last, his body of work can be fully appreciated in this book devoted entirely to him. Includes many of his gory horror comics covers in full color and pages reproduced from the original art and a lengthy interview from 1970. Moonage Books, 2025....More. Item Code: LIGDA Soft Cover, 8x11, 124pg, Partial Color $34.99 |
| You know his work but perhaps not his name. He was THE cover artist on the pre-code Harvey Horror books that today bring the big bucks. And stories too. Great artist, influenced by Milton Caniff. |
 |
19. COMIC BOOK CREATOR #39 Thomas Yeates Our Highest Recommendation. Thomas Yeates grants a career-spanning interview about attending the Kubert School’s first graduating class, his start at DC on Swamp Thing, Eclipse Comics work (including the Michael Jackson/Captain EO comic!), and becoming the greatest adventure comic strip cartoonist of the last 30 years, on Zorro, Tarzan, and to this day, the Prince Valiant Sunday Page!

News & Notes |

Something went seriously wrong with this collection. While the cover states it is SUNDAYS from 1951-53, it's actually DAILIES from those years. And the title page calls it Dailies Volume 1. And the running footer was stuck on repeat and only has one date instead of the proper dates for each page. We’re looking into how/when the publisher plans to correct this. Our description of the contents is correct, in any case, just the cover information is wrong!
