Artists & Illustration

 


1. ILLUSTRATORS QUARTERLY #48 Mark Schultz Cover B
Our Highest Recommendation. Featuring the artwork of Mark Schultz, 38 pages of his finest right up to the present day. Amazing, exquisite examples of paintings, pencils, finished inked pieces, including previously unpublished work and a look at the upcoming sequel to Xenozoic!!! Plus a new interview. Next a fine feature on Chris Moore, one of the UK's leading exponents in sci-fi illustration whose previous art books we handled. Get up to date with his work also. Thirdly, from the horror movie posters to VHS and DVD covers, explore the paintings of Graham Humphrey. Book Palace, 2025....More.

Item Code: IQ48B
Soft Cover, 9x11, 96pg, Partial Color
$30.00
Cover A, also by Schultz, is sold out. I hope this stays in print but no telling, it's been one of our top sellers of all the recent issues.
 


2. FRANK FRAZETTA FINE LINES
Our Highest Recommendation. By Sara Frazetta and Arnie Fenner. Frazetta first achieved international prominence with his powerful covers for paperbacks featuring Tarzan, Howard's Conan, and The Death Dealer, but when asked how he was able to create such unforgettable paintings he replied simply, "Drawing is everything." Fine Lines helps to explain why he felt that way with a collection of his most exciting works in pencil, ink, and watercolor. Including many of his influential illustrations from the 1960s and '70s for the fiction of Edgar Rice Burroughs and J.R.R. Tolkien, this beautiful book also features nearly a dozen previously unpublished drawings along with historical essays sharing the stories behind the art. Compiled and edited by Frank's granddaughter Sara Frazetta in collaboration with 2-time World Fantasy Award winner Arnie Fenner, Fine Lines is a celebration of the magical imagination of the Godfather of Fantastic Art. Moderate nudity. Frazetta Girls, 2025. Mature Readers....More.

Item Code: FRAFL
Soft Cover, 8x12, 84pg, b&w
$35.00
There's still an abundance of books on Frank's work appearing. This was clearly the best of all of them, thanks to Spectrum editor Arnie Fenner offering new insight and new unseen work!
 


3. TELLING STORIES The Comic Art of Frank Frazetta Hardcover Slipcased
Closeout Price, now 60% off!! Save $30. Our Highest Recommendation. This offers the complete Thunda and his best romance works, such as "Untamed Love" and "The Wrong Road." Plus combat tales, funny animals, White Indian stories and covers, Ghost Rider covers and much, much more. Some of these stories offer some of his finest pen & ink works, with shapely women, nude statues, and lots of implied lust. Fantasy art's most popular painter was also one of the finest comic book illustrators in the pre-code 1950s. This deluxe collection exhibits the skill of a master craftsman but also provides tantalizing glimpses of where the young artist’s career would ultimately take him, into his iconic paintings of Conan, covers for the Warren mags and famous movie posters for Clint Eastwood, among others. Hardcover in slipcase! This was the ONLY trade edition of this book, never produced in softcover. Underwood Books, 2008. Out of print....More.

4. 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
A sleeper published in England, on an overlooked artist who was super important in the Harvey Horror pre-code days.
 


5. THE FANTASTIC ART OF ROY G KRENKEL
Our Highest Recommendation. With nearly five hundred pieces of art, including sixteen foldouts, this is the definitive collection for fans of and newcomers to the virtuoso fantasy artist — curated by Craig Yoe, with a foreword by Sara Frazetta and a preface by Michael Wm. Kaluta. If master draftspersons of the Renaissance were reincarnated to create sword-and-sorcery art of more contemporary times, they would have had Roy Krenkel as their mentor. RGK defined the term "an artist’s artist," and comics artists ardently study his incredible work. Roy filled the pages of the pro-zine/fanzine Amra with his favorite art — collected here are the complete Amra illustrations. Amra was devoted to Robert E. Howard & other sword & sorcery authors and subjects, edited by George Scithers, who also published Roy’s first art book, Cities and Scenes of the Ancient World. Dark Horse, 2025. ...More.

Item Code: FANRKH
Hard Cover, 7x10, 256pg, b&w
$39.99

Plus all the artists that followed Foster: John Cullen Murphy, Gary Gianni and the current artist Thomas Yeates, with samples of their work scanned from their original art boards. Interviews with Cullen Murphy (John's son) who wrote the script for many years after Foster retired, Meg Nash who colored the strip from 1991 until her father John Cullen Murphy retired in 2004, Thomas Yeates, Gary Gianni, Mark Schultz the current writer and Scott Roberts the colorist since 2004.

7. HAL FOSTER'S PRINCE VALIANT SKETCHBOOKS An Illustrated Memoir Volume 1 Signed
Signed bookplate! Our Highest Recommendation! 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. Kane has created a magnum opus for Valiant fans...a look behind the scenes at Foster's creation process. The entire series contains 366 penciled layout pages by Hal Foster (all at original size) — 8 of which are on two pages; 577 panel-by-panel description and caption pages, 40 character sketches, over 10 dozen pieces of additional art by Foster, over 100 photographs, and 123 letters and notes (mostly from Foster to John Cullen Murphy).

10. EVERETT RAYMOND KINSTLER
Closeout Price! The Artist's Journey through Popular Culture 1942-62. Our Highest Recommendation. By Jim Vadeboncoeur, Jr. and Everett Raymond Kinstler. Kinstler's work hangs in museums, boardrooms, banks, private collections, The White House, and in the homes of his clients and friends. Before portraiture became his life's work, he spent the 1940s and 1950s honing his craft in comic books: Hawkman for DC's The Flash, Black Hood and Black Terror for Standard. And dozens upon dozens of covers, inside cover contents pages, and stories for those delightfully lurid Avon titles like Eerie, Cowpuncher, Dalton Brothers, Jesse James, Strange Worlds, etc. And illustrating for pulp magazines like The Shadow, Doc Savage and Detective Tales! JVJ, 2005....More.

11. HENRY PATRICK RALEIGH The Confident Illustrator

Henry Patrick Raleigh rose from school dropout at age 12 to esteemed Saturday Evening Post illustrator within the span of two decades. During his forty-year career, Raleigh was one of the highest paid newspaper and magazine artists in the United States, creator of iconic World War I propaganda posters, and arguably the most prominent story illustrator of the Jazz Age. This is the first book ever on the artist, and it's beautifully done. It features an abundance of full color work, from crowd and party scenes to wonderful advertising pieces. Auad, 2016....More.

Item Code: HENPRH
Hard Cover, 9x12, 132pg, Full Color
$34.95 $7.50

16. SPECTRUM FANTASTIC ART QUARTERLY MAGAZINE #3
Issue print run: 1000. Our Highest Recommendation. A profusely illustrated interview with Brom and Laurie Lee Brom. None of Brom’s work here has appeared in his art books; Laurie shares some of her most recent drop-dead-gorgeous gallery paintings.

Reilly at the Art Students League in New York City, Ron Lesser embarked on a long career as one of America’s top illustration artists.

Highly Recommended. Introduction by Dan Nadel.

23. THE ART OF GEORGE WILSON
Our Highest Recommendation. By Anthony Taylor. What made Dell Comics in general stand out from the competition, and what made many of their superhero and adventure comics so popular were their unique painted covers. And one man was responsible for all the very best of these. Finally here is a full-blown artbook of his career and work, with dozens and dozens of covers reproduced from the original paintings!! Wilson's covers harkened back to the era of pulp magazines but updated and more polished...and they were spectacularly eye-catching. He painted hundreds of covers for Classics Illustrated, The Twilight Zone, Ripley's Believe It or Not, Dr. Solar, Magnus Robot Fighter, Turok, Lost in Space, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, and Star Trek, to name but a few. Hermes, 2025....More.

Art by Sheldon Moldoff and Johnny Craig. The amazing adventures of Claire Lune and Lionel Manning — Moon Girl and the Prince — who together fend off invaders from other planets as well as fight crime. Moon Girl #5 had a story that looked forward to the great horror comics explosion of a few years later: "The Corpse with Will Power", one of two stories credited with starting the trend in horror comics at EC. This was EC Comics' one-and-only attempt at doing a superhero, or rather superheroine. Artist Shelly Moldoff co-created Moon Girl, after he'd long worked at DC Comics drawing Hawkman, The Black Pirate and numerous other adventure heroes. Dark Horse, 2025. ...More.

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 and others. Atmospheric gems of twisted suspense and sardonic horror. Fantagraphics, 2025....More.

Art by Wood, Feldstein, Kamen, Orlando, Kurtzman et al. 30-page Introduction by Grant Geissman with lots of rare original art, photos, special artwork and more. Reproducing the initial eleven issues of the world’s first true science-fiction comic, this seminal collection exemplifies the genre’s Golden Age. Full of vivid artistry and narrative twists, the trailblazing series features wildly imaginative tales of nuclear apocalypse, interstellar adventures, and glittering utopias. Rather than recolor the artwork, this edition works with super-high-resolution photographs of each page as it was printed more than half a century ago, using modern retouching techniques to correct problems with the era’s inexpensive, imperfect printing. The result is a pristine product, keeping the character and feel of the classic issues, but freshly printed by a world-class press oversized, nearly twice the original size. Taschen, 2025. Rush Service and International shipping could require an additional charge....More.

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.

5. ATLAS ARTIST EDITION Volume 2 Al Williamson
Complete Stories, 1955-60. Our Highest Recommendation. Edited by Dr. Michael J. Vassallo. Becoming a professional comics artist in 1948 at the age of 17, by 21 Al Williamson was so well-regarded he was recruited by EC Comics — the absolute peak of the field in the 1950s, and a team rarely challenged since. After the Comics Code forced EC to reduce their business, Williamson found himself at the door of Atlas Comics, the largest employer of freelancers in the field. Across 1955-57 and 1959-60, Williamson would draw 99 stories for Atlas (both solo and with help by "Fleagle Gang" studio cohorts Angelo Torres and Roy Krenkel, plus Gray Morrow and Ralph Mayo) in mostly western and fantasy genres, with a smattering of war, romance and "jungle girl adventure." HERE ARE EVERY ONE OF THOSE STORIES, SLIGHTLY OVERSIZED AND IN FULL COLOR! Fantagraphics, 2024....More.

Item Code: ATLA02H
Hard Cover, 10x13, 448pg, Full Color
$125.00 $110.00
This came out in 2024 but was a steady seller all through 2025. See all the Atlas Library and Arist Edtions, the Joe Maneely is also top notch.
 


6. CLASSIC SCI-FI COMICS Volume 9 Wolverton 2
Almost Gone! Collects stories from Target Comics #17-34, Amazing Man Comics #25-26, and more, 1941-53. Highly Recommended. Basil Wolverton was a master at caricaturing the human face and body and his drawings have elicited a wide range of reactions — he even described himself as a "Producer of Preposterous Pictures of Peculiar People who Prowl this Perplexing Planet." Preferring to work with pen and ink, Wolverton's lack of artistic schooling gave his drawings an otherworldly appearance. There was no other artist at the time who drew like him! PS Artbooks, 2025. Out of print....More.

Item Code: PSSC09
Soft Cover, 7x10, 184pg, Full Color
$32.99
The hardcover sold out but we have more softcovers due any day now. Basil Wolverton issue.
 


7. BLACK CAT COMICS Volume 1
Collects #1-4, 1946-51. Highly Recommended. Art by Lee Elias, Joe Kubert, Joe Simon et al. This collection stars Hollywood stunt woman turned sexy costumed crime fighter, Linda Turner — better known as the daring Black Cat! Watch as she takes on gangsters, spies, and villains with her acrobatic skills, sharp wit, and fearless determination. A true gem of 1940s comic book history, our heroine starred in 30 issues of her own title and dozens of other appearances before the title switched to horror. She was revived in the 60s for another run. Fun, light-hearted stories starring a vivacious, sexy, and unique leading lady. I love the motocycle cover on #1, which they've used on the cover here: that's pure iconic Black Cat! - Bud. PS Artbooks, 2025. ...More.

Item Code: BLACC01
Soft Cover, 7x10, 208pg, Full Color
$32.99
A personal favorite of mine, a Golden Age heroine popular with all ages, and both guys and girls, I would think. Fun stuff. Wonderful to see these collected.
 


8. 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
$30.00 $27.99
Frist published in 2012, the best of all of Mad's imitators. And several of the EC artists are in here, too.
 


9. THE SPAWN OF VENUS AND OTHER STORIES
Our Highest Recommendation. This mouth-watering collection of 26 stories features the finest (and rarest!) science fiction stories Wallace Wood ever drew — more than two dozen! Wood's meticulously detailed, genre-defining brushwork introduces you to breathtaking planetary vistas, terrifying aliens, and sleek rocket ships surging with the power to conquer the stars. Our title story is a rarity that never appeared in any EC comic. Written and drawn for a 3-D comic that was canceled before it could be printed, it's here in easy-on-the-eyes 2-D. Wood's most iconic story, "My World", is a stunning showcase of the preternatural talent and technique he brought to all his stories. Also included is his trilogy of Ray Bradbury adaptations — "Home to Stay," "There Will Come Soft Rains..." and "Mars Is Heaven!" — plus "He Walked Among Us," a "what if...?" variation on Bradbury's "The Man" from The Illustrated Man. Fantagraphics, 2025....More.

Item Code: SPAWVH
Hard Cover, 7x10, 248pg, b&w
$39.99 $36.99
Wally Wood, his best EC sci-fi stories. Doesn't get better than this.

We hope this won't be the last issue. Grant Geissman, who signed the bookplates, has taken prelim work by late editor Roger Hill and produced both #6 and #7. A must-have for an EC fan.

5. 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! Greg Potter discusses his ‘70s Warren horror comics and ‘80s reboot of Wonder Woman with George Pérez. Artist Warren Kremer is celebrated by Mark Arnold in a biographical essay. TwoMorrows, 2025....More.

Item Code: CBCR39
Magazine, 8x11, 84pg, Partial Color
$10.95
Excellent magazine, you saw the Dave Stevens above. This special Yeates issue also did very well—he draws the Prince Valiant Sunday page now.
 


6. CRYPTOLOGY #2
Almost Gone! Highly Recommended. Twomorrow's newest magazine — now devoted to horror in comics and cinema — is back with Roger Hill’s conversation with diabolical horror (and superhero) comics artist Don Heck! Then, Steven Kronenberg breaks down his favorite severed hand films! Barry Forshaw brings back the otherworldly horrors of Hammer’s Quatermass, while Tim Leese spends more Hammer Time on that studio’s output. Then, editor Peter Normanton prepares a viewing of horror-inspired covers from the Shadow’s own 1940s comic book, with plenty by the master Bob Powell! TwoMorrows, 2025. Out of print....More.

Comic Strip Collections

 


1. DAVID WRIGHT'S CAROL DAY SHOWCASE
Limited, 500. Our Highest Recommendation. Some of the very finest pen & ink that we have ever seen. This is amazing artwork in the tradition of Alex Raymond and Al Williamson. It's the story of a smart and strikingly beautiful young woman who decides to go into modeling but has all kinds of adventures, passionate connections and exotic travels along the way. It ran from 1956 to 1967, one of the finest-drawn strips on both sides of the Atlantic! Entirely from the original art for each carefully selected daily strip with large, satisfying and top quality reproduction, two strips to each oversized, oblong page. - Bud. Book Palace, 2025....More.

Item Code: DAVCD
Soft Cover, 12x9, 84pg, b&w
$35.00
Another sleeper from England, on an artist even we'd never heard of. But he's a master of fine line and the book's done well, as has a super-limited edition [DAVCDD. $250] with episodes of the strips.
 


2. ALLEY OOP AND KING SOLOMON'S MINES 1944 V.T. Hamlin
Daily strips, 1944. Highly Recommended. Alley Oop has lost his memory! Why is he surrounded by cats? How will he find King Solomon’s Mines? And can he be brought back home by the Caveman Rescue Squad? And if that weren’t enough, when Alley’s giant pet dinosaur gets sick it’s even more mayhem! Wonderful wartme work by Hamlin, at the height of his art skills and his storytelling prowess. Acoustic Learning, 2025....More.

Item Code: ALLE44
Soft Cover, 11x7, 160pg, b&w

Comics & Graphic Novels

 


1. HEAVY METAL MAGAZINE #1 Frank Frazetta Cover
Highly Recommended. Heavy Metal Magazine is back! Heavier than ever! more a book than a magazine, with a massive 232 pages of art, stories, special features and more. This relaunch brings the world's greatest illustrated magazine back to the forefront of comics. One of the magazine's original line-up of legends, Enki Bilal returns with the English language adaptation of his acclaimed BUG series. Michael Conrad (Hello Darkness, In Bloom) teams Greek comics legend, Ilias Kyriazis (Collapser, What We Wished For), for an all-new series entitled Millstone.

Also done were a Hildebrandt cover and a Palumbo cover. Impressive start to the new restart of the vernerable magazine that began in 1977, as a U.S. version of the French magazine Metal Hurlant, co-founded by Moebius and JP Dionnet.
 


2. HOGAN'S ALLEY MAGAZINE #24
Highly Recommended. A fascinating history of Tijuana bibles includes the original LIVE models posing! Why the iconic Barbie failed to hit in comics. The comics career of Laurel and Hardy and Bob Hope’s side gig in comic books. Emancipated female star Flyin' Jenny by Russell Keaton and Marc Swayze.

4. 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
The magazine that never was, assembled but never published and filled with bright young talent from the early 70s.

Highly Recommended. Art by Moebius, Philippe Druillet, Caza, Peeters, Gal, Schuiten, Snejbjerg, LeClerc and many, many more. Introduction by publisher Fabrice Giger. A book-sized, 274-page collection! 50 years after the debut of Metal Hurlant in France, the iconic and genre-defining publication is finally coming to the English language, and in bigger and bolder form than ever before: as a quarterly anthology published by Humanoids. Each volume will feature one-of-a-kind, otherworldly, literary experience, expertly curated from archival material from the original '70s and '80s run, along with top A-list and up-and-coming creators from around the globe.

Glad to see this do so well. This is the best of the magazine from France that spawned Heavy Metal. #2 came in a little lower on the sellers.
 


6. TALES OF PARANOIA R. Crumb
Recommended. The first new R. Crumb comic book in 23 years, including the final Dirty Laundry story, drawn by Crumb with a script written with Aline Kominsky-Crumb before her death in 2022! The seminal cartoonist who single-handedly invented the alternative comics format of the one-person anthology in 1967 with Zap Comix #1 returns at age 81, still raging at the world and himself, still drawing like a master, and still funny... well, mostly. In his latest comics excursion, Crumb dives down into internet conspiracies, the CIA, Covid-19, Big Pharma, and general news rabbit-holes, and comes up asking questions. Fantagraphics, 2025....More.

Item Code: TALPA
Soft Cover, 6x10, 36pg, b&w
$5.99
New R. Crumb and one of the first Underground Comix we've seen in ages. Even though just recently published, this has done very well.
