April 2002 Catalog - Art Books and Graphic Novels
* ESSENTIAL HOWARD THE DUCK by Steve Gerber - Marvel Comics Tpb. In the 1970s Steve Gerber wrote an excellent satical comic book that dealt with a human-like duck, Howard, who came to learn what it meant to be human. (In the 1980s, George Lucas took this concept and made a terrible movie that completely lacked the edge of the comic.) This 300+ page black and white collection reprints all Gerber's original stories. Without a doubt this book belongs in every serious comic book readers collection. ... $14.95
* NOTHING BUT A SMILE by Mark Rogers - Studio Foglio Tpb. Mark Rogers is best known for his hilarious Samurai Cat series, where colorful, action-packed paintings of an anthropomorphic cat in antique armor rampaging through history served as the source for several novels. But his real love is Pin Ups (or the women featured as pin-ups) and this 64 page collection has a full page color painting of a mostly nude female on every page, with comments from the artist on the facing page. School lockers will never look the same again. ... $18.00
* ALASTAIR by Victor Arwas - Tpb. Illustrator of Decadence. With 96 illustrations, 4 in color, this slim 100 page book gives a protrait of a fascinating and elusive personality whose work forms a link between the decadence of the 1890s and the frivolity of the 1920s. Alastair, a pseudonym for Hans Henning Voight (1887-1969), specialized in illustrating the plays, novels and stories from the 1890s, especially Oscar Wilde. With a style similar to Beardsley's, his strange beings with their ornate decorations mirror his love of the theatre and the occult. ... $11.95
HOUSE ON THE BORDERLAND by William Hope Hodgston : ill.
Richard Corben - Vertigo HC. A timeless classic initially published
in 1908 by William Hope Hodgson that blends science fiction, fantasy, and
occult horror, adapted by comics legend Richard Corben. Features an introduction
by the equally legendary Alan Moore that offers an appreciation of Hodgson's
contribution to the horror pantheon. A must-read for true horror connoisseurs;
a phantasmagoric tour of razor-thin line between fantasy and reality, life
and sleep, hope, and death. ... $29.95
