HANK JANSON UNDER COVER A Visual History Closeout Price! Import from England. Highly Recommended. In this full-color coffee-table art book, noted researcher Stephen James Walker presents a complete visual history of the Hank Janson crime fiction series, from its inception in 1946 through to the last of the original novels in 1971, and beyond. Reproductions of every single cover — including, in full-page size and in better quality than ever seen before, all of the classic Reginald Heade painted covers of the 1940s and 1950s, including his foreign editions. Good girls, bad girls...it's all about racy themes and sex appeal on these vintage covers: nudity, bondage, violence, cleavage... The equivalent U.S. series might be Mike Hammer or Michael Shayne — except Janson was far longer-lived! Telos, 2021....More. Item Code: HANJH Hard Cover, 9x11, 256pg, Full Color |
| A cool book by the best pin-up artist in England, Reginald Heade. See below for the Art of Reginald Heade. |

CREATURES FROM THE SUBCONSCIOUS Signed Signed! Highly Recommended. Denis calls these his “chipboard” drawings. Drawn without pencil prelims or any aforethought, the spontaneous images are created on the unforgiving pulpy surface of chipboard, the stiff backer board on legal pads and similar. They occasionally remind us of R. Crumb's more surreal work and also of Basil Wolverton — high praise indeed. There's nothing normal here. These are all from another dimension of strange creatures, stranger settings, all with some kind of bizarre story behind them...but it's for you to figure out what the heck caused Denis to create each one. Demented? Oh, yes. Tinto Press, 2023....More. Item Code: CREAFHS Hard Cover, 10x10, 170pg, b&w |

TONY SARG Genius at Play Highly Recommended. By Lenore D. Miller and Stephanie Plunkett. Tony Sarg (1880-1942) first achieved professional success as an illustrator in London and New York. His 1920s puppets directly inspired Jim Henson; he was also a pioneer in animated films and children’s books, and, as a longtime designer for Macy’s, he created the gigantic balloons used in the firm’s Thanksgiving Day Parade which began in 1924. He also employed one of his parade balloons in the famous Nantucket Sea Serpent hoax of 1937. Abbeville Press, 2023....More. Item Code: TONGH Hard Cover, 9x11, 240pg, Partial Color |

THE ART OF REGINALD HEADE Volume 2 Our Highest Recommendation, By Stephen James Walker and Steve Chibnall. Reginald Heade was an incredibly prolific artist, at the height of his career taking on as many as 100 commissions per year. Ongoing research carried out since the completion of work on the expanded Art of Reginald Heade Vol. One has uncovered hundreds more previously unknown examples of his superb book cover, magazine illustration and other commercial art, and all of these are presented here.

FROM ANGELS TO WEREWOLVES By Philip F. Palmedo. Alluring mermaids sighted by lonely mariners. Winged angels, by turns avenging and comforting. The fearsome Minotaur of Greek mythology. Animal-headed deities, from the elephant-headed Ganesha in India to the falcon-headed Horus in ancient Egypt. As far back as we go in human history, we find therianthropes, or animal-human hybrids. This thoughtful volume surveys each of the major categories of therianthrope in turn, from animal-headed beings to merpeople to shape-shifters, with particular attention to their roles in religion, folklore, and the popular consciousness. With well-chosen color illustrations, the author demonstrates how artists of all eras have shaped our conception of these mythical beings. Abbeville Publishing Group, 2023....More.

DARK MYSTERIES Volume 2 Hardcover Collects #7-12, 1952-53. Recommended. Art by Harry Harrison, A. C. Hollingsworth, Hy Fleishman, Doug Wildey et al. Some of the weirdest and most esoteric stories and covers of the time. Skeletons, anyone? They loved them on every cover. And busty, Wally Wood-ish ladies—on the covers and inside, too. Dismemberment, hypo blood drainage, cannibalism, witch burning, severed heads...even a horror witch hostess clearly stolen from EC. And that's all noted in Overstreet! As shown on the cover here, artist Hy Fleishman was obviously influenced by Wood and he has plenty here. Also so does Hollingsworth, also a Woody clone. PS Artbooks, 2018....More.

Innovative science fiction comics didn't end with EC”EC was doing wonderful work, ACG the occasional story, but Charlton was a hotbed of sci-fi and fantasy, spear-headed by the great Steve Ditko. It might seem a poor man's EC, but led by wonderful covers and lots of stories by Ditko, today this is a stand-out title. Additional artists include Bill Molno, Charles Nicholas, Dick Malmgren, Rocco Mastroserio, Paul Reinman and even Gene Colan. Numbers 7 and 8 were 68-page, fifteen-cent issues—together they boast SIX Ditko stories and two covers. PS Artbooks, 2017. Out of print....More.

CLASSIC ADVENTURE COMICS Volume 7 Hardcover Almost Gone! Collects #1-5, 1953-54. Recommended. Johnny Dynamite, created by Pete Morisi, was a hard-boiled private detective, known as "The Wild Man from Chicago." Good friends with the D.A. but readily accepted by the underworld, he smoked cigarettes constantly, cursed frequently, and had a bad habit of getting shot and beaten by his enemies. But he always gave as good as he got; he was experienced and persistent, taking his cases personally and killing many of his early foes, claiming they were reaching for a weapon. Myra Benz, who had shot him in the eye, was brazenly killed without any true justification beyond his own sense of justice. PS Artbooks, 2023....More.

FROM HERE TO INSANITY MAGAZINE Volume 1 Originally published in 1957. Recommended. Chock full of silly stories and artwork, mimicking the style of MAD Magazine.

Other contributors include Bill Ward's cover and two stories (signed Bob McCartney), Joe Pena, Bob Weber, and Basil Wolverton. Mad evolved from a comic book to a magazine, and the rest is history. Charlton was never one to see success without a stab at it, and this was their effort. With the next issue the title changed to Crazy, Man, Crazy and lasted two more issues. Lots of racy good-girl art, spoofs of movies and television, and all popular subjects of the day. PS Artbooks, 2025....More. Item Code: FROH01 Soft Cover, 7x10, 68pg, Full Color |

Brought together to fight the Marvel Universe's biggest menaces, Iron Man, Thor, Giant-Man and the Wasp were heavy hitters — but Marvel heroes don't just fight crime; they live, dream, argue — and even fall out! In an innovative twist that would come to define the Avengers, Stan Lee has the team's original members depart, leaving only Captain America to carry on with new allies: Hawkeye, Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch — all former foes, now conflicted and newly minted heroes.

CAPTAIN AMERICA AND THE AMERICAN JOURNEY 1940-2022 By Richard A. Hall. Captain America made his debut in 1940, just two years behind the first comic book superheroes and five years before the United States’ emergence as the world’s primary superpower at the end of World War II.

Known as the “Sentinel of Liberty,” he has frequently provided socio-political commentary on current events as well as inspiration and warnings concerning the future. Ten chapters begin with Cap in the 40s, move to Commie Smasher in the 40s, unrest in the 60s, and on, showing how the stories in Captain American mirror society's own changes and issues.

ILENE MEYER Paintings Drawings Perceptions Publisher file copy. Highly Recommended. Edited by Cathy and Arnie Fenner. Ilene Meyer's oil paintings transport viewers through the mists of myths and creation to explore a unique world populated by fantastical creatures and imaginary landscapes — all rendered with clarity and passion. As surreal as Pablo Picasso or Salvador Dali, as evocative as Georgia O'Keeffe, this gallery introduces SF and New Age afficionados to the first full-scale celebration of Meyer's work. Invoking themes of ecology, conservation, culture, and lost civilizations, Meyer's paintings pronounce that all existence is interconnected and that all souls are intertwined. A cultural sensation in Japan and the subject of numerous articles, interviews and even a documentary film, Meyer enchants with her bold, painterly style. Designed and edited by Cathy Fenner and Arnie Fenner, the creators of the Spectrum series, this is the first collection of Ilene Meyer paintings to be published in the U.S. Underwood Books, 2004. ...More.

R/EVOLUTION THE ART OF JON FOSTER Hardcover Recommended. Edited by Cathy and Arnie Fenner, and Irene Gallo. Jon Foster creates irresistibly dark demimondes populated by retro robots, Star Wars villains, and creepy goth-inspired creatures that recall the work of James Gurney (Dinotopia), Rick Berry, H. R. Giger, and past masters of the grotesque like Goya. Yet his work is inimitably his own, from the noirish lighting, off-kilter angles, and kinetic sense of movement to his singular technique of starting a project with oils and then scanning it into a computer to add more startling visual effects. Underwood Books, 2006. Out of Print....More. Item Code: REVOH Hard Cover, 9x12, 128pg, Full Color |

FLASH GORDON CLASSIC COLLECTION The Complete Sunday Strips Volume 3 1941-1944 Hurt Our Highest Recommendation. By Alex Raymond. Flash Gordon is right up there in the Hall of Fame category with Hal Foster's Prince Valiant.

THUN'DA KING OF THE CONGO Volume 1 Hardcover Hurt Collects #2-6, 1952-53. Highly Recommended. By Bob Powell. First appearing in comics in 1952 and on film in Columbia Pictures serial "King of the Congo" starring Buster Crabbe, Thun'da was a fictional Tarzan-esque character scripted by Gardner Fox and originally created by artist Frank Frazetta! Thun'da was Roger Drum, a World War II United States Air Force officer who was shot down while flying over a lost civilization, deep in the heart of Africa. Bob Powell took over and did a superb job on #2 through #6, collected here — but Powell's fine work has always been in the shadow of Frazetta's work in issue #1. Powell's at his best here, with Thun'da and his voluptuous girl friend...it's as exciting as the work he did on Cave Girl, which is another under-appreciated title from the same publisher, Magazine Enterprises (ME).
