This art book contains nudity and is intended for mature audiences. A journey into the violent, steaming innards of making art — raw, spontaneous and unfettered. Drawing on themes of the occult, the artist explores animals as allegories for the human condition.

C.F.A. VOYSEY Architect, Designer, Individualist
Recommended. By Anne Stewart O'Donnell. A leading figure in the British Arts and Crafts movement, C.F.A. Voysey (1857-1941) could easily have made a career out of pattern design alone, for his ingenious textiles and wall coverings in fresh, clear colors won him international acclaim. His wallpapers and textiles, in particular, reveal his complex personality and his lifelong love of England's flora and fauna. By the mid-1890s, however, he also was hailed as one of Britain's most innovative architects. Pomegranate, 2011....More.

THE BEST OF SIMON & KIRBY'S MAINLINE COMICS
1954-56. Our Highest Recommendation. In 1954, industry legends Joe Simon and Jack Kirby founded Mainline Publications to publish their own comics. The four titles — Bullseye, Foxhole, Police Trap, and In Love — looked to build off their reputation as hit makers, but the 1950s backlash against comics killed any chance at success, and Mainline closed its doors just two years later, selling the unpublished stories to Charlton. For the first time, here is their best including all of the stories with S&K art, as well as key tales with contributions by Mort Meskin and others— plus the scarce work that Charlton published! Complete stories and lots of wonderful covers. TwoMorrows, 2023....More.

Recommended. Bonus sketchbook section, commentary from the creators and more extra features. An impressive 300 pages! From the critically acclaimed co-creators behind PanelSyndicate.com, writer Brian K. Vaughan (Saga, Spectators) and artist Marcos Martín (Friday, Barrier), comes the Eisner Award-winning sensation The Private Eye, available for the first time ever in a gorgeous new paperback edition. Unusual oblong format, deluxe full color, very impressive and one wild and violent tale. Set in an inevitable future where everyone has a secret identity, The Private Eye is an eerily prescient sci-fi mystery about an unlicensed private investigator who stumbles onto the most important case of his life — and a lot of people are getting shot. The series is set in 2076, a time after "the cloud has burst," revealing everyone's secrets. As a result, there is no more Internet, and people are excessively guarded about their identity, to the point of appearing only masked in public. Image Comics, 2025....More.

Highly Recommended. By Blandine Le Callet. Art by Nancy Peña. The legendary sorceress from the Greek myths has been cast as many things — a caring mother, a passionate lover, an independent woman refusing the tyranny of men, a barbarian, a formidable witch, mistress of occult forces. Some would call her a monster. And yet, who was Medea, really? Beyond the hearsay, exaggerations, and distortions inflicted by time, this is Medea’s story in her own voice. First published in France by Casterman. Very well drawn, lots of detail and a good narrative. Dark Horse, 2024....More.

BILLI 99
Recommended. With José Villarrubia and Sarah Byam. Nominated for three Eisner awards! "The story that launched [Tim Sale] into the public eye...Billi 99 is a must have for your collection." - Jeph Loeb. Set in 1999, Billi 99 embodies a cautionary tale in which corporate greed and corrupt government affected an America very much like our own today. With that, they posed the question, what is power when everything has been taken away? Celebrate the genius and artistry of Tim Sale with one of his earliest published works, Billi 99. While his collaborations with Jeph Loeb on stories such as Spider-Man: Blue, Batman: The Long Halloween and Superman: For All Seasons, would elevate Tim to legendary status, Billi 99 revealed Tim's master storytelling talents.

Orland, the local lord of war, comes to take possession of the unique weapon but Yama's father is killed and her mother taken away.

DIAN HANSON'S THE HISTORY OF MEN'S MAGAZINES Volume 2 From Post War to 1959
New Printing. Recommended. By Dian Hanson. 650 magazine covers and photos from the U.S., Mexico, Argentina and England, plus informative essays. After WWII, the U.S. quickly came to dominate the men’s magazine market. Playboy, launched in December 1953, made a huge impact on publishing, but already on the stands were quirky burlesque titles Beauty Parade, Wink, Titter and Eyeful, featuring Bettie Page and covers by artist Peter Driben. Much loved WWII pin-ups, often of aspiring starlets, led to “news and nudes” titles with cover girls Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield, and to more lurid titles like Shock, blending burlesque and celebrity scandal. In New York City a clandestine fetishist magazine industry, bankrolled by the mob, emerged, first with John Willie’s Bizarre, then female dominant Exotique. Taschen, 2023. Adult Material....More.
