Boggs, Erich Schutz, René Vincent, Julias Diaz, Hermann Vogel\u003c\/strong\u003e (nearly unknown but a brilliant anthropomorphic animal \u0026amp; fairy tale artist from Germany, circa 1890s...a favorite of mine, he will remind you of Harrison Cady and, yes, Walt Kelly!). Also the wonderful \u003cstrong\u003eEric Pape\u003c\/strong\u003e, and seven full pages of plates by \u003cstrong\u003eSigismund de Ivanowski\u003c\/strong\u003e, who paints the greats, in costume, of the 1908 theater for \u003cem\u003eThe Century Magazine\u003c\/em\u003e, including \u003cstrong\u003eMaud Adams\u003c\/strong\u003e as Peter Pan and \u003cstrong\u003eAnnie Russell\u003c\/strong\u003e as Puck from \u003cem\u003eA Midsummer Night's Dream\u003c\/em\u003e.\n\nA wonderfully varied collection of rare work by illustrators taken from magazines and books published prior to 1923. The artists will be familiar, but these images are culled from very obscure sources and have never been reprinted. Editor Jim Vadeboncoeur carefully scans each image and corrects it, often taking badly printed original appearances and vastly improving them. He also often features art from original artwork, having many sources for such material.\n\nJim spares no time nor expense to make this the finest possible magazine, printed on high quality heavy glossy paper, in the U.S. Each page is beautifully reproduced using the latest and best technology (Stochastic Printing, which yields blacker blacks and richer colors).\n\nVadeboncoeur has collected art and illustration for near 50 years now, so his sources are vast. Even the most veteran collector will find not only images from favorite artists that are new, but artists themselves who have previously escaped attention. I say this from first-hand experience, being a collector as long as Jim has been, but seeing both artists and images new to me. Limited to 2,000 copies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59639584456990,"sku":"IMA12","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/0684\/7006\/files\/product_i_m_ima12.jpg?v=1784467934"},{"product_id":"frank-brangwyn-the-way-of-the-cross","title":"FRANK BRANGWYN The Way of the Cross","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginally printed in 1935 in a limited edition of 250, this new edition features 14 plates--reproduced from the original lithographic reproductions--of the fourteen stations of the cross. Brangwyn, 1867-1956, had an excellent eye for the divinity of the working man and the hardiness of humanity. This superbly produced portfolio, complete with a gorgeous hardcover box in maroon imitation leather, features all 14 large scale full page artworks printed by letterpress on custom 80lb stock.\n\nThe portfolio-box is blind-embossed and opens up with four complete flaps, to reveal a thick collection of plates AND commentary by \u003cstrong\u003eDr. Libby Horner\u003c\/strong\u003e. Dr. Horner discusses Brangwyn's incredible career and how these could NOT have been done early in his working years. Also reproduced as plates over four pages, in letterpress. This is a product of his deep and long experience as one of the most successful artists in England--his disillusionment with the world War he'd recently gone through--and his own deep religious beliefs.\n\nHe brings to life the stations of the cross, normally only seen in Catholic churches, often in sculpted works or a series of pictures. Here he humanizes Jesus and all the people around him, as he carries the cross on his long journey to his final death.\n\nYou don't have to be religious to enjoy this, but that is probably the reason that has prevented this from being a sellout. I maintain that it is the most beautiful production that publisher Manual Auad has ever done. I'm a long time fan of Brangwyn's art, but I'm first to admit he is either unknown or forgotten by a great many today. Strangely enough, Manual was instrumental in helping artist Alfredo Alcala to find a career in American comic books (he was born and first worked in the Philipines). And Alcala practically worshipped Brangwyn's artwork, spending every spare dollar to get all his original books.\n\nI'm not religious myself, but to me it doesn't matter. This is fine art, powerful, captivating. Brangwyn was incredibly popular in his day, and for good reason. You can see it here, and you can also see how he was a STRONG influence on subsequent artists, the most evident being the master Dean Cornwell himself.\n\nAuad Publishing has done fine books on Alex Toth and Franklin Booth, Al Parker and Albert Dorne..but this is by far their most ambitious and exquisitely-produced project. And at this price, it is really, really a steal. The final page gives the complete printing and binding particulars and is hand-numbered from 750.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59639587275038,"sku":"FRBR","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/0684\/7006\/files\/product_f_r_frbr-frank-brangwyn-way-of-cross_1.jpg?v=1784467979"},{"product_id":"nessie-and-friends-print-signed","title":"NESSIE AND FRIENDS Print Signed","description":"\u003cp\u003eA fun print by a longtime Disney animator.

In these stories, Wonder Woman travels from Paradise Island to Man’s World, where she battles both common criminals and supervillains like Cheetah and her first nemesis, the Baroness Von Gunther. Her magic bracelets and lasso of truth stop injustice, but usually not before she is tied up again and again, one of Marston's favorite tropes. These stories introduce the mythology of Wonder Woman as she battles the powers of evil, from crooked business owners to Nazi spies. The stories are fun and different, not falling into the typical cliches of many of the Golden Age heroes.\n\nMarston's undeclared wife, and later a female assistant, wrote many of these stories and they have a women's viewpoint, to be honest, rarely seen in other comics.\n\n\u003cem\u003eThey have a charm and naiveté that is fun.

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.\n\nAs a commercial artist working in the field of advertising, very few individuals published as many of their illustrations or earned as much as Henry Patrick Raleigh. He worked for major accounts like Maxwell House Coffee, where they simply turned him loose to provide attention-getting images of beautiful people drinking coffee or simply looking elegant.\n\nA great many of the illustrations here are directly from the original artwork. Includes a full biography and two wonderful fold-out pages.\n\nRaleigh was an incredibly prolific artist, having published 20,000 illustrations by the time he was 43. Called upon to illustrate many works of fiction, he was a master at capturing just the right moment of action or suspense to add to the story.\n\nIn addition to the \u003cem\u003eSaturday Evening Post\u003c\/em\u003e, Raleigh’s illustrations graced the pages of the era’s definitive publications, including \u003cem\u003eHarper’s Bazaar, Collier’s\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eVanity Fair\u003c\/em\u003e, and brought to life the words of H.G. Wells, William Faulkner, Sinclair Lewis, Somerset Maugham, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Agatha Christie.\n\nFrom the Preface by his grandson, Christopher Raleigh: \"Throughout my childhood, my parents filled my impressionable young mind with stories about my famous grandfather...of the privileged lifestyle he led as a result of financial success as an artist and illustrator. My mother related tales of the famous people he worked with, like F. Scott Fitzgerald [12 of his short stories] and H.G. Wells. There were stories about my mother dancing with Rudolph Valentino and Hank's (as friends and family called him) models Joseph Cotton and Ginger Rogers. She piqued my imagination with descriptions of New York society events, world travels, yachts, and other luxuries that were so much a part of Hank's life.\"\n\nIn 1923, artist Everett Shinn was also a popular art critic...he considered Raleigh the best illustrator in the United States. He illustrated over 500 stories for the \u003cem\u003eSaturday Evening Post\u003c\/em\u003e alone.

We were there to do sketch art on demand and probably paid some small fee for the day’s work. None of us had much of any professional experience and almost no published work...\n\n“The work entailed drawing quick sketches for the mostly young fans who enthusiastically lined up at our tables. Rick and Steve Bissette rose to the challenge fairly easily as I recall, but not most of us. My art is usually drawn rather slowly, carefully penciled, erased and re-penciled until it’s ready, then carefully inked. As I was going through this usual process at the shopping mall I noticed the line in front of my table was growing longer and longer, with the first sketch still unfinished...\n\n“The drawings in this book start about 17 years after that all day sketching event...By this time I was getting paid for each drawing and spending 30 to 90 minutes creating one. These are carefully penciled and inked, but quickly and with an economy not always present in my regular published work, and some are of course more successful than others. A few years ago I was reflecting on how I was able to do these, and realized the debt I owed to Bernie Wrightson. Bernie’s art was a big influence and inspiration to me throughout the seventies, my formative years, and this influence led to my being hired to re-boot his Swamp Thing series at DC in 1982, launching my career.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59639790666014,"sku":"TWIS","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/0684\/7006\/files\/product_t_w_twix3coverdiamond.jpg?v=1784474273"},{"product_id":"walt-kelly-s-adventures-of-peter-wheat-volume-1-2","title":"WALT KELLY'S ADVENTURES OF PETER WHEAT Volume 2","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWalt Kelly's\u003c\/strong\u003e Peter Wheat comics are renowned for their humor and artistic flair, appealing to both children and adults, as well as their incredible scarcity. Never before have they been collected. Between 1948 and 1951, Kelly drew thirty-five issues of \u003cem\u003eThe Adventures of Peter Wheat,\u003c\/em\u003e a sixteen page comic book given away to bakeries to promote Peter Wheat bread. The stories were fairy tales starring Peter Wheat, an elf-sized boy who lived in a hollow tree on the edge of a wheat field where he and the Little Folk battled Dragonel, Queen of the Hornets.\n\nWhile created with kids in mind the mythology spun in these stories is timeless. “Coupled with Kelly's incredible artwork, this series of stories, which run in arcs, are indispensable in Walt Kelly's canon of work,” commented \u003cstrong\u003eDr\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cb\u003eThomas Andrae\u003c\/b\u003e, editor of this series. The Peter Wheat production history was written by Walt Kelly biographer \u003cb\u003eSteve Thompson\u003c\/b\u003e for this volume.\n\nKelly loved doing fairy tales, and his first comics work was about tiny Lilliputians in \u003cem\u003eNew Comics \u003c\/em\u003ein 1935. His work for Dell's fabulous \u003cem\u003eFairy Tale Parade \u003c\/em\u003eis a high point of both his creativity and the world of Golden Age comics. He also further honed his skills working for the Disney studios on \u003cem\u003eSnow White, Pinocchio, The Reluctant Dragon \u003c\/em\u003eand \u003cem\u003eDumbo.\u003c\/em\u003e\n\nJust as his work for Dell was diminishing and Pogo was taking off as a comic strip, he was hired to develop a new series for Baker's Associates to promote Peter Wheat Bread and other baked goods. These 16-page stories were constructed as serials, taking place in a lush forest filled with Rackham-esque trees, and peopled by animals and insects who all talked with Peter. Peter becomes the savior of the \"little folk\". Their enemies were hornet knights, ruled by the nefarious Grand Wizard and his beautiful daughter Dragonel, who eventually is won over to Peter's side and becomes his close companion. (Culled from Thomas Andrae’s excellent introduction.) A second feature talks about Peter as Advertising as Art, with examples of the rare Peter Wheat circus, punch out characters and cool advertising pieces.\n\n\"The weird thing about Peter What is that he was awesome. He was a toddler the size of a louse...but his adventures were swordclashing killing sprees. He wasn't prancing through meadows and singing about the pep you get from enriched wheat flour. He was punching birds in the face and driving axes into hamsters. There was no whimsy in his fighting style -- he was all business...he was the most powerful 2-inch creature on the planet.\" -Stephen Thompson\n\nThe original comics were giveaways and today are extremely scarce, which is one reason why it's taken seven years to put together volume 2.\n\n\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote: A hardcover edition of this was announced for publication in 2020 but was never published.

A long, well illustrated introduction details his appearances first as a newspaper comic strip (1934-55), then in films beginning in 1942, books, pulps, and other media. Here you'll find Winslow fighting the Axis powers as well as villains like The Snake and the smoldering hot, but deadly lady pirate, Singapore Sal. Winslow was a spy-chasing lieutenant commander in Naval Intelligence.\n\nThe comic strip led to a radio show that began in 1937. The character served to foster recruitment, entertain Navy personnel and the general public up to and throughout World War II and beyond and was popular into the 1950s.\n\nThe comic strip debuted on March 5, 1934. A Sunday page was added in 1935. Creator Lieutenant Commander \u003cstrong\u003eFrank V. Martinek\u003c\/strong\u003e, USNR, who served in Navy Intelligence himself, supervised the daily feature’s \"general tone and direction\", sending the typewritten continuity to Naval Lieutenant \u003cstrong\u003eLeon Beroth\u003c\/strong\u003e, who served as art director and \u003cstrong\u003eCarl Hammond\u003c\/strong\u003e to handle layouts and research.

Of course, Fawcett was also home to the Captain Marvel family, Spy Smasher, Bulletman, etc. and they knew how to write a good story, with writers like Otto Binder, William Woolfolk and C.C. Beck. These stories were more down to earth, with Winslow manning both ships and planes on adventures that pitted him against the Japanese, Nazis, and after the war, pirates, smugglers and the like.\n\n\"As a piece of comic book history, this is remarkable...blended somewhat realistic adventure fiction with outrageous pulp...lots of fistfights...a sexy female pirate...and a couple of really weird male villains that Dick Tracy would have loved.\" -ICv2\n\n\u003cem\u003eThis may not make it into your typical bookstore and comic outlets.
