GEORGE PEREZ: SIRENS
VAMPIRELLA TAROT CARDS

 

THE WILD ADVENTURES OF
EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS:
A SOLDIER OF POLODA

by Lee Strong
Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc., 2017

"Like fellow Earthman, Tangor from the story Beyond the Farthest Star, American OSS officer Thomas Randolph is mysteriously teleported to a foreign planet where he lands in the center of a 100-year war that mirrors the Allied Powers' struggle against Adolph Hitler's Third Reich. Unlike Tangor, Randolph - now Tomas Ran - finds himself behind enemy lines where he must devise a plan to escape with the beautiful Unisan prisoner, Loris Kiri.

Edgar Rice Burroughs debuted the world of Poloda in the pulp story Beyond the Farthest Star in 1940 just as Hitler's Nazis marched across Europe and the Imperial Japanese extended their reach across the South Pacific. Burroughs' youthful idealism regarding the nobility of America's previous war efforts had given way to a mature perspective of the savagery of combat. Burroughs' deeply-held views are reflected in this tale about a planet ravaged by 100 years of conflict as the nation of Unis devotes its entire existence to the struggle of freedom against tyranny."

NORSE MYTHOLOGY
by Neil Gaiman

"Neil Gaiman has long been inspired by ancient mythology in creating the fantastical realms of his fiction. Now he turns his attention back to the source, presenting a bravura rendition of the great northern tales. Gaiman remains true to the myths in envisioning the major Norse pantheon: Odin, the highest of the high, wise, daring, and cunning; Thor, Odin's son, incredibly strong yet not the wisest of gods; and Loki, the son of a giants, blood brother to Odin, and a trickster and unsurpassable manipulator. Gaiman fashions these primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds and delves into the exploits of deities, dwarfs, and giants. These gods emerge with their fiercely competitive natures, their susceptibility to being duped and to duping others, and their tendency to let passion ignite their actions. In Norse Mythology,these long-ago myths breathe again."

George Perez's
SIRENS
BOOM! Studios

"Comics legend George Perez (Wonder Woman, The New Teen Titans) writes and illustrates his biggest adventure yet.

As an intergalactic force enslaves planets across the galaxy, the legendary team known only as the Sirens must reunite to save the galaxy - but the Sirens don't even remember who they are, and the rest of the universe only remembers them as villains! Collects the complete series.
With a direct market exclusive cover!"

The princess' birthday party promised to be a gala affair. The great dining hall of the palace resounded with music. There was dancing and wine and big platters of food. There was everything that a person could possibly want at a birthday party. Except for fireworks, that is. Or a fire-breathing dragon. Illustrated with 6 full-page color illustrations as well as a full color wrap-around cover by Vaughn Bode."

So began an extraordinary summer of friendship, adventure, discovery and magic. "Drink in the night," he said. "Breathe deeply. Look at the world all laid out before you, sparkling through the dark. It is your world, warm-blooded Susi, not mine." Take flight with Susi and Herman for an adventure never to be forgotten, one that will leave you filled with joy and touched with sadness. Illustrated with 6 full page color illustrations as well as a full color wrap-around cover by Vaughn Bode."

THE LITTLE PRINCE by Antoine de Saint-Exupery & Joann Sfar
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt


Hardcover book is new. "For seventy years Antoine de Saint-Exupery's The Little Prince, a whimsical story with a fairy tale touch, has captured the hearts and minds of its readers. Joann Sfar has endeavored to recreate this beloved story, both honoring the original and stretching it to new heights. All the Little Prince cares about is being useful to the flower he's left behind on his very small planet, with only a few thorns to protect him from the world. Sfar's comic-book illustrations of the wide-eyed boy prince and disheveled pilot he encounters in the African desert are edgier than the original watercolors, and his style and humor work modern magic."

THE OZ BOOKS BY L. FRANK BAUM

 

 

The fourteen original Oz Books by L. Frank Baum were published between 1900 and 1920. Many more titles written by Baum's associates and successors were added to the canon in the past century. These titles have been issued in several editions including the White edition from Reilly & Lee, many of which are pictured here. The indicia of the first volume in this White edition, The Wizard of Oz, lists a copyright date of 1956. The White edition was printed around 1964-1965 and was widely available in stores through the mid-1970's. This group of Oz books are all in very good or better condition with light wear, some with noticeable soil. The black and white illustrations in this edition were reproduced from the original 1900-1920 editions. W.W. Denslow illustrated The Wizard of Oz; the rest were done by John R. Neill.

"Unearthed in a collection of pre-WWII newspaper printing plates, the mid-1930s comic strips Uncle Otto and Harry Karry represent the earliest known cartooning of the great comics and sequential art pioneer Will Eisner. In these never-before-seen strips you see the young Eisner's imagination expanding, as he experiments with the possibilities of serialized storytelling and works through his numerous influences. Contextualized with an exhaustive introduction by Denis Kitchen, these comics document the genesis of one of the most iconic and brilliant cartoonists of all time.

"The signature character of author H. P. Lovecraft's darkly fantastic fiction, Cthulhu is as emblematic for Lovecraft's fans as Darth Vader is for Star Wars adherents. Both feared and worshipped in the stories, Cthulhu has since been the subject of new fiction, artwork, role-playing games, toys, and other items celebrating Lovecraft and fandom for weird tales. This totemic set includes a hand-painted figurine suitable for display or dark contemplation, an altarpiece stand, and a booklet discussing the Ancient One's place in Lovecraft and popular culture."

Neil Gaiman: The View from the Cheap Seats, Selected Nonfiction
William Morrow, New York, 2016

"An inquisitive observer, thoughtful commentator, and assiduous craftsman, Neil Gaiman has long been celebrated for the sharp intellect and startling imagination that informs his bestselling fiction. In The View from the Cheap Seats, he brings together for the first time ever more than sixty pieces of his outstanding nonfiction. Analytical yet playful, erudite yet accessible, this cornucopia explores a broad range of interests and topics, including (but not limited to): authors past and present; music; storytelling; comics; bookshops; travel; fairy tales; America; inspiration; libraries; ghosts; and the title piece, at turns touching and self-deprecating, which recounts the author's experiences at the 2010 Academy Awards in Hollywood."

Dynamite, 2016


Hardcover book is new. De blurb: "A brand new saga of magic and adventure by Brandon Sanderson! On the planet of Taldain, the legendary Sand Masters harness arcane powers to manipulate sand in spectacular ways. But when they are slaughtered in a sinister conspiracy, the weakest of their number, Kenton, believes himself to be the only survivor. With enemies closing in on all sides, Kenton forges an unlikely partnership with Khriss -- a mysterious Darksider who hides secrets of her own. White Sand brings to life a crucial, unpublished part of Brandon Sanderson's sprawling Cosmere universe. The story has been adapted by Rik Hoskin (Mercy Thompson), with art by Julius Gopez and colors by Ross Campbell. Employing powerful imagery and Sanderson's celebrated approach to magical systems, White Sand is a spectacular new saga for lovers of fantasy and adventure."

DARK KNIGHT: A TRUE BATMAN STORY
FRANK HERBERT'S CHAPTERHOUSE: DUNE
JEFF JONES' IDYL
WILD ANIMALS I HAVE KNOWN by ERNEST THOMPSON SETON

 

DARK NIGHT:
A TRUE BATMAN STORY

DC Comics, 2016

"In this surprising original graphic novel, we see Batman in a new light - as the savior who helps a discouraged man recover from a brutal attack that left him unable to face the world. In the 1990s, Eisner Award-winning writer Paul Dini had a flourishing career writing the popular Batman: The Animated Series and Tiny Toon Adventures. Walking home one evening, he was jumped and viciously beaten within an inch of his life. His recovery process was arduous, hampered by the imagined antics of the villains he was writing for television including The Joker, Harley Quinn and the Penguin. But despite how bleak his circumstances were, or perhaps because of it, Dini also always imagined the Batman at his side during his darkest moments. DARK NIGHT: A TRUE BATMAN STORY is the harrowing and eloquent autobiographical tale of Dini's struggle to overcome a truly desperate situation. It is a Batman story like none other. Art by Eduardo Risso (100 Bullets, Dark Knight III: The Master Race)."

PROVIDENCE #9
Alan Moore, Jacen Burrows

Avatar Press, Inc.

"The world of H.P. Lovecraft has begun to invade the mind of Robert Black. His quest began as project to write a book but the more he is exposed to these horrors the closer to the edge of insanity he is pushed. The cracks in the world seem to be widening as he nears some inexplicable crescendo of horror. Alan Moore and artist Jacen Burrows have created the most realized version of Moore's Lovecraftian vision ever published. Fans and classical scholars have flocked to the pages of Providence to decipher the many layers of story being told in this masterpiece. Moore has written every cover detail, every single page, and every nuance of this work to create an unforgettable series. Fans of Moore's immersive style and meticulous grasp of storytelling will be thrilled to add this essential piece of comics history to their collections! Available with Regular, Pantheon, Portrait, Dreamscape Wraparound, Women of HPL, and a special Ancient Tome Incentive cover, all by collaborator Jacen Burrows."

"Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill invite you, and some of the finest creators in comics, in to join them in a different kind of dark: Cinema Purgatorio! This ongoing monthly series will feature Alan and Kevin in every issue and is their first major new project together since League of Extraordinary Gentlemen! Anthology has become a dirty word, so far be it from us to clean it up. Instead we'll shine our light onto the cutting edge of sequential art, with black and white artwork to allow illustrator's pure visions, and the greatest assembly of writing talent ever gathered on one series. Every issue is perfect-bound, with no ads, and all of the works are very long-form, there are no collections planned before 2018. Jump in now and embrace the new future of comics. The one of which Alan Moore has always dreamed. It's here, now. Hiding in the dark corner. Welcome to Cinema Purgatorio."

This issue also includes Garth Ennis, Raulo Caceres, Max Brooks,

Boethius, at the height of power in Rome under the Ostrogothic King Theodoric the Great, was brought low by treachery.

WOODY GUTHRIE
AND THE DUST BOWL BALLADS

Graphic Novel by Nick Hayes
Abrams Comicarts, 2016

Hardcover book is new. "Using the sepia tones of the Dust Bowl as his palette, author and artist Nick Hayes tells the story of world-famous folkie Woody Guthrie (1912-1967), starting in the 1920s when Guthrie was a teenager supporting himself in dried-up, post-boomtown Oklahoma. Picking up a harmonica and eventually a battered guitar, Guthrie finds solace in the ancient lineage of folksong. Hayes charts the musician's course from Oklahoma and Texas towns ravaged by dust and the Depression to boxcars, factory farms, and the migrant camps of California, highlighting Guthrie's dedication to singing American folk tunes and creating his own modern classics along the way."
