    NICK CARDY: The Artist at War by Nick Cardy (signed) and Renée Witterstaetter. Signed!
Renowned commercial artist, designer, and sequential illustrator from DC Comics' Silver Age, Nick Cardy is now in his 90's. He's been drawing his whole life. And thank goodness for that, as these recently unearthed sketches contribute not to our pop culture history--as do his other works, but to our history. When he was serving in WWII, and without benefit of a camera, Nick proceeded to do what he did best--carrying a sketchbook and documenting his time in the conflict from beginning to end--the humor AND the horror. Each sketch and painting is accompanied by Nick Cardy's own commentary. Plus this comes with a 30 minute DVD which features Nick talking about his experiences. Signed by Cardy! Note: Copies have slight bump to corner. Publisher: Little Eva Ink, 2011 Binding: Dimensions: 9x6 Pages: 128pg Color: Full Color throughout ISBN: #9781450747257 Published at $40.00 On Sale! Save $15!

     THE SWEETER SIDE OF R. CRUMB New introduction by Robert Crumb. Bet you never knew Crumb had a sweeter side! Well, this collection of career-spanning artwork proves it. The honesty of Crumb's self expression is not always pretty or sweet, but pulled together here are over 100 appealing drawings of blues singers and other musicians, actresses, fine-big-legged ladies, art school nudes, even pet cats, as well as quiet rooms and honored musicians. There are also cool street scenes from small-town France. It’s a collection of never-before-seen or rare illustrations, entirely in black & white. There’s even some one-page comics here. We’ve always enjoyed Crumb’s more serious side, and you’ll find it in abundance here. There are portraits of his wife and other lovely ladies and gentlemen, and even some outdoor landscapes (from France, of course). Most illustrations are accompanied by his titles and notes, sometimes quite detailed. Out of print Publisher: Norton, 2010 Binding: Softcover Dimensions: 8x11 Pages: 110pg Color: black and white ISBN: #9781846011146 Published at $30.00 click here for The Sweeter Side of R.

     WOODWORK Wallace Wood 1927-81 (Hurt) Our Highest Recommendation Now Out-of-Print. We have sold out the last of our regular copies, but we have a few copies that were slightly bumped on the cover corners in shipping. I cannot say enough about this wonderful new collection. From the same people that put together the book Big John Buscema, Woodwork is also based on the largest exhibit of Wood artwork ever assembled. Collectors all over the world were asked to contribute rare original art. This is also a highly detailed biography, profusely illustrated. Wally Wood is one of the most celebrated comic artists of all time. His legendary career runs from the glory days of EC Comics' extraordinary line of science fiction titles to the brilliantly subversive Mad Comics (and, later, Mad Magazine). He produced extraordinary illustrations for magazines like Galaxy after EC folded, and for the Skymasters and Challengers of the Unknown with Jack Kirby. Woody worked on the some of the most fondly remembered stories published by Marvel Comics in the mid 1960s, such as the first year of Daredevil. He also co-created the Thunder Agents and the Mars Attacks card set, and was a pioneer in self-publishing, with his own Witzend, Wizard King, and the adult Cannon and Sally Forth collections. This massive tome is the American edition of a museum catalogue that accompanied a gigantic career retrospective on display in De Palma, Spain in 2010, the largest such exhibit ever devoted to this incredible artist. In order to do the job right, instead of just importing the volume, IDW stepped up to add a top quality translation of the biographical and tribute pieces, and fine-tuned the artwork and layout and reproduced EVERYTHING in full color. Don't miss this. Note: Bumped corner and slight cover tear. Publisher: IDW, 2012 Binding: Hardcover without dustjacket Dimensions: 10x13 Pages: 344pg Color: Full Color throughout ISBN: #9781613772928 Published at $59.99 On Sale! Save $20! Your price: $39.99 |

   MASTERS OF IMAGINATION By Mike Benton. Recommended Warehouse find, 1994. “Comics scholar Benton follows his five-volume History of Comics series with a more narrowly focused work profiling 13 artists who have arguably made the greatest impact on the comic book medium. His well-chosen lineup includes commercially dominant titans such as Jack Kirby, Superman co-creator Joe Shuster, and Mad's Harvey Kurtzman; humorists Carl Barks and Walt Kelly and "artist's artists" Alex Toth and Bernard Krigstein.” “What all his subjects share is that they emphasize not flashy illustration but storytelling--the design, pacing, and flow of narrative. Younger comics fans probably won't recognize most of these masters' names, but their work will be studied by aspiring comics artists long after most of today's trendy creators are forgotten.” - Gordon Flagg, Booklist The careers and works of the 13 world-class cartoonists elected to the Comic Book Artists Hall of Fame. More than 250 full-color illustrations plus illuminating commentary by Mike Benton offer insight into the creative processes that made these artists the very best in the world. Note: Copies very slightly worn from storage over 20 years. Very limited quantity available. Out of print Publisher: Taylor, 1994 Binding: Hardcover with dustjacket Dimensions: 9x11 Pages: 176pg Color: Full Color throughout ISBN: #0878338594 Published at $29.95 On Sale! Save $10!

    STAR WARS ART: Posters Foreword by Drew Struzan. Introduction by Roger Kastel. Highly Recommended Few pieces of artwork distill the passion for Star Wars as do posters. From Tom Jung's iconic one-sheet for Episode IV to Roger Kastel’s Gone with the Wind–inspired painting for Episode V and beyond, Star Wars has enjoyed nearly four decades of poster art from some of the most renowned artists working in movies. The fifth book in the George Lucas-curated Star Wars Art series, Posters collects the best artwork from all six Star Wars films, the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated television series, and limited-edition prints. This collection unites all of the action, artistry, and drama of a galaxy far, far away into one lavishly produced tome. No matter how many images you may have seen, this is guaranteed to have artwork you’ve never seen before. We’re frankly surprised and pleased to see all these seemingly fresh and original interpretations of the six amazing films, even including foreign posters. All the major names are here: Ralph McQuarrie, Drew Struzan, Adam Hughes, Cliff Chiang, Gris Grimly, John Berkey, Howard Chaykin, Sanjulian, Boris Vallejo, Tom Whalen, and more than a dozen others. There’s also a short biography of each artist. All reproduced art is satisfyingly large, including several fold-outs.

    DAVE GIBBONS WATCHMEN Artifact Edition By Alan Moore. Art by Dave Gibbons. Highly Recommended Watchmen has been called the greatest graphic novel of all time: a graphic narrative unlike anything that preceded it. It revitalized the idea of what comic art and graphic novels could be. It is the one book that nearly all comics readers know inside and out...or so you thought! Now, with the full assistance and cooperation of Dave Gibbons, comes Dave Gibbons' Watchmen: Artifact Edition, crammed full of high resolution scans shot directly from Gibbons' original art. Covers, interiors, advertisements, portfolio pieces, color guides, preliminary character and cover ideas--this is the ultimate collection of the ultimate graphic novel! And with lots of extras, alongside the fascinating look at the fine original art for the series. To reproduce all the pages would require a volume to heavy to even lift! So here are the best pages, selected from all twelve issues. Any fan would be proud and pleased to own just one page of this epic…here you get 98 amazing pages reproduced in full color to show every nuance, note, correction, et al (they are done in black & white, of course, but the full color reproduction captures every detail on the original art page.) A full 21 pages are here from the final issue, which is about 2/3 of the startling conclusion. I like all the pages of extras, mentioned above. That’s the real behind-the-scenes glimpse for me, much of it in full color, such as the full page character studies (we’ve reproduced one here). Publisher: IDW, 2014 Binding: Hardcover without dustjacket Dimensions: 12x17 Pages: 144pg Color: black and white ISBN: #9781631400308 Published at $125.00 On Sale! Save $50! Your price: $75.00 |

    WALTER SIMONSON'S LAWNMOWER MAN Artist's Edition Portfolio Recommended Stephen King's The Lawnmower Man is a classic short story that was the basis for a hit motion picture. But, more importantly, it was adapted for comics by King himself, and drawn by legendary comics artist Walter Simonson. Only published once, in a rare Marvel magazine, this is the first time since 1981 that The Lawnmower Man has been available to comic readers. Printed to the exacting standards of all Artist's Editions, this portfolio is a must-have item for Simonson and King fans alike! Like the other books in the “Artist’s Edition Portfolio” series (all of which are long sold out), this is lower priced than a typical Artist’s Edition. It comes in a handsome green hardcover slipcase with very heavy board covers. Inside the plates are loose, so you can pull each out to examine it closely or perhaps mount it for wall display. This also includes a full color piece, scanned here. Of course, all the pages of original art are shot in full color (even though they are black & white) to show every blue-line note, every correction, every sketch and doodle, even the aging of the Bristol board they’re drawn on. Publisher: IDW, 2014 Binding: Hardcover with dustjacket Dimensions: na12x18 Pages: 22pg Color: Full Color throughout ISBN: #9781631401169 Published at $55.00 On Sale! Save $25! Your price: $29.95 |
