Beehive Books' illuminated editions are perhaps the finest versions of classic novels published since their original release. And their new edition of Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels, is yet another fantastic package. Taking advantage of modern print and publishing processes, this illuminated edition of the satirical fantasy epic is lavishly illustrated (65 pieces!) by the great Lorenzo Mattotti (Fires, Doctor Nefasto, Stigmate) and is presented in a large format edition with a die-cut, embossed slipcase. Truly a beautifully designed and executed edition that will hold a special place in any collection. ~Marty

ALSO AVAILABLE A WONDER BOOK Illuminated Edition Die Cut Slipcase. Our Highest Recommendation. The paintings of master artist Das Pastoras merge with Nathaniel Hawthorne’s heroic adaptation of Greek myths in a new edition of the book that re-imagines these epic tales for young readers, first written in 1850 and popular ever since. This exquisite edition of A Wonder Book, complete with die-cut slipcase and two color printing throughout, plus the magnificent art by Das Pastoras, will transport readers into these beloved timeless tales. Featuring original essays by Guillermo Del Toro, José Villarubia and Kate Bernheimer — as well as the uniquely Victorian flourish of thirteen tipped-in full-color plates (plus dozens of smaller illustrations in the text) permitting a different paper stock ideal for reproducing the lush and gorgeous colors of Das Pastoras’ paintings. Beehive Books, 2025....More.

We lost Jean Giraud/Mœbius back in 2012. The multi-talented French artist and icon left behind a rich and varied catalog of graphic novels and illustrations, which have both entertained and inspired fans and peers alike around the world. This issue of illustrators Quarterly pays tribute to the man and his art with a cover story that honors him, through remembrances and art homages from the likes of Brian Bolland, Dave Gibbons, Das Pastoras, Bob Fingerman, David Taylor, William Stout and Frank Kelly Freas. There's also a profile of his studio, Mœbius Production. If you're a fan of Mœbius, this issue is a must-have! ~Marty

When I graduated from Monster comics to Superhero, one of the titles I gravitated to was Marvel Two-in-One, not only because of the solo spotlight on the FF's Ben Grimm, it was the art of John Byrne and George Pérez that brought me in. These were early years for both of them, but you could already see the brilliance in their artwork beginning to emerge. And we also get some great stories drawn by Jerry Bingham, Ron Wilson, and Mike Nasser. And inks by the great Joe Sinnott and Gene Day, too. The issues collected in this volume will always be some of my very favorites! ~Marty

Comic Reference

The Crisis Companion The definitive companion to one of the most influential comic book series ever published! By Kevin Miller. In 1985, DC Comics launched the most ambitious crossover event in comics history: Crisis on Infinite Earths. Four decades later, filmmaker and lifelong comic book fan Kevin Miller unpacks the tangled web of continuity, creators, and corporate pressures that gave rise to this multiverse-shattering epic. TwoMorrows, 2026....More. Item Code: CRISCOM Soft Cover, 8x11, 256pg, Text/Partial Color $36.95

DC Comic continuity was always a little hard to follow, especially since they'd been building layers upon layers of comic book "geology" since the late 1930s. So when DC decided to "reset" their universe in 1985, it was a shocking but also exciting turn of events. Marv Wolfman and George Pérez lead the revision with the main series, while the rest of the DC titles and their creative teams shifted gears and played into the "big changes" to come. It was a monumental undertaking, and the folks at TwoMorrows have tried to bring us the last word in how it all came to be, and how it changed comics forever. If you were fortunate enough to live through the period it was published, you saw firsthand what occurred on a month-to-month basis. For us, and for those of you who were late to the game, their "Crisis Companion" will no doubt feature rare details that are new to us all, and reveal the story of this historic comics event from beginning to conclusion like never before. ~Marty

Comic Strip Collections

BIGGLES High flying action & intrigue from the UK! From 1960-1962! Recommended. By Capt. W.E. Johns. Art by Ron Embleton & Mike Western. James Bigglesworth is a wartime air ace and peacetime Sergeant in the Special Air Police, known to his friends and some of his enemies as "Biggles." Biggles became one of the most enduring figures in children's fiction of the last century and was created in 1932 by former Royal Flying Corps pilot, Captain W.E. Johns, whose own life ““ which included being shot down and becoming a prisoner of war ““ was pretty colorful itself! Beautifully illustrated by Ron Embleton and Mike Western, this volume includes the complete run of full-color strips from the pages of Britain's Express Weekly and TV Express Weekly (1960-1962), presented for the first time in a deluxe premium hardcover collection. Book Palace, 2026....More. Item Code: BIGGH Hard Cover, 8x11, 108pg, Full Color $48.00

Created by real-life aviator Captain W.E. Johns in 1932, the Biggles strip ran for many years in the UK, and was later revived in the pages of Britain's TV Express Weekly (1960-62). As illustrated by Ron Embleton and Mike Western, Biggles reminds me most of Doug Wildey's Jonny Quest, having a very similar color palette and visual pacing to the classic cartoon. If you like comics filled with action, intrigue, danger, and authentic depictions of vintage aircraft, be sure to check this one out! ~Marty

Just a few short years after co-creating Spider-Man, artist and writer Steve Ditko created the Question, who worked as an investigative journalist in public and a vigilante in secret.

In this collection of world-famous Disney comics stories, Donald Duck decides to enlist Gladstone Gander and his unfailing good luck to prove a fortune cookie wrong when it warns, "You can't do anything right today."

But they're falling behind — until Donald unlocks Scrooge's "Secret Device." Then Donald gets into trouble when Gyro invents a matter transmitter that only half works.

CAPTAIN VIDEO Volume 1 Slipcased Limited, 125! Highly Recommended. Captain Video was one of the very first science fiction programs in the early days of television...a long, successful run from 1949 to 1955. It was so hot, Fawcett, the publisher of Captain Marvel, jumped in and put their best talent on an excellent comics series, each featuring a photo cover from the TV show, with outstanding artwork by top EC artist George Evans. Today these are very tough comics to find and expensive when you do; great early space opera! Here is the complete run, six full issues which featured long, satisfying stories, from 12 to a full-issue 21-pages! PS Artbooks, 2013. Out of Print. ...More.

After a seaquake, a huge lizard-like creature walked out of the ocean; things became more complicated when it was discovered the monster, dubbed Gorgo, was really just a youngster and its 200 foot tall mother was coming for him. After a pitched battle with the British army, Gorgo's mother, Ogra, was able to free her child and they both went lumbering back to the sea. That, however, was not the last the world heard of Gorgo. Having found a taste for the land, the young monster began to make regular visits there! PS Artbooks, 2023....More. Item Code: SAG03H Hard Cover, 7x10, 184pg, Full Color $52.99 $29.99

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.

Pin-Ups & Pulps

ALVARADO'S MILITARY PIN-UPS Recommended. In the popular Alvarado style, these fun and sexy military pin-ups present a dynamic new look at an old tradition. The vintage heyday of American pinups is presented here in full view, with a modern flare and that unique Alvarado touch. No nipples or explicit work, but these ladies are often topless or nude with just carefully placed weapons, bandoliers, and shoulder straps to save them from the censors. Everything else is fair game and on full display. Military-uniforms and gear-clad models featured with classic combat aircraft — from the P-51 Mustang and Spitfire to the Vietnam-era F-4 Phantom jet to the present day — hint at the lure of Gil Elvgren and Alberto Vargas's vintage pin-up art.
