TARZAN AND THE MARTIAN LEGION<br />

In Quest of Zonthron. Our Highest <strong>Recommendation</strong>. By<br />

Jake Saunders. Art by Tom Grindberg, Michael C. Hoffman<br />

and Craig Mullins. As befits the ambitious scope of the story,<br />

the artistic presentation is unparalleled. One-hundred-thirty<br />

new illustrations were commissioned for this opus, with contributions<br />

by Thomas Grindberg, Michael C. Hoffman, and<br />

Craig Mullins, on archival, acid-free paper, bound in leather<br />

(banth and thoat) in one giant volume.<br />

Published late in 2014, until now this was only available from<br />

the publisher. We are pleased to be the exclusive second<br />

source for the amazing project, which was co-published<br />

with the well-respected Russ Cochran. In 1913, Edgar Rice<br />

Burroughs contemplated penning a crossover tale uniting<br />

his two greatest creations, Tarzan and John Carter of Mars.<br />

He ultimately gave the idea up as unworkable, concerned<br />

that he couldn’t do justice to both heroes in one novel. Russ<br />

Cochran, 2014.<br />

THE GOLDEN AGE MASTERWORKS FROM THE<br />

GOLDEN AGE OF ILLUSTRATION Volume 2<br />

Limited, 1,000! Our Highest<br />

<strong>Recommendation</strong>. Edited by<br />

Daniel Zimmer. Continuing where<br />

The Golden Age--Vol. 1 leaves<br />

off, this second volume in the series<br />

celebrates more Golden Age<br />

of Illustration, lavishly presenting<br />

the work of 211 artists with 218<br />

full page reproductions of original<br />

paintings. Some of the finest<br />

images produced during the<br />

period, all photographed directly<br />

from the original art.<br />

Welcome to our Christmas Catalog! We put this into your hands as early as possible,<br />

to give you plenty of time to get those special gifts, whether for family, friends,<br />

or yourself! Allow extra delivery time as the holiday approaches. Orders normally<br />

take 7-10 days in the mail, but during Christmas the Post Office and UPS often take<br />

longer. Our rush service can reduce this to 3-4 days. Place your order before noon<br />

our time (PST), Monday-Friday, and it ships the same day. Gift Certificates are<br />

available for as little as $10, and then in $10 increments.<br />

2016 Calendars are here, beginning on page 23. We’ve got three pages of <strong>Outstanding</strong><br />

Christmas Gifts. I selected my favorite items that also might make good<br />

gifts, Page 28.<br />

PS Art Books Pre-Code Classics and Harvey Horrors hardcovers are now on<br />

sale. Page 13. There’s also an entire page of super-hero Poker Deck Playing<br />

Cards, more good stocking stuffers. Page 18.<br />

This catalog has many new items that came out during San Diego Comic-Con in<br />

July, including some great signed sketchbooks. A few sketchbooks and limited<br />

editions are already gone. That’s why we recommend you get our weekly email (the<br />

E-Blast!) or our bi-weekly, printed newsletter. These keep you current on new items.<br />

They also include News & Notes by me, and occasional book reviews. See sign up<br />

instructions elsewhere or ask with your order.<br />

I’m very pleased to feature Eyvind Earle (1916-2000) on our cover. He created<br />

more than 800 Christmas designs for holiday cards, beginning in the 1930s. In the<br />

1950s he worked for Walt Disney on many shorts and feature films, including Peter<br />

Pan and Lady and the Tramp. His masterpiece was Walt Disney’s Sleeping<br />

Beauty. He set the tone for the entire film. Later on Earle specialized in amazing<br />

paintings of trees, coastlines, mountains and valleys, particularly in Monterey, <strong>Carmel</strong><br />

and Big Sur area of California. His family has been producing beautiful limited<br />

edition art books since the early 1990s. We’re pleased to offer these again. ~BUD<br />

PORTFOLIO<br />

The Complete Drawings by Mark Schultz<br />

Our Highest <strong>Recommendation</strong>. A massive, oversized<br />

collection showcasing seven transformative years. From 2005<br />

through 2012, Mark Schultz turned his attention to personal<br />

works and private commissions. First collected in the five<br />

Various Drawings volumes, here are these 275 drawings, as<br />

well as the cover illustrations and special bookplates, now<br />

reformatted and fine-tuned with stunningly detailed and clear<br />

reproduction. The signed/limited edition is sold out.<br />

STORMS AT SEA<br />

Our Highest <strong>Recommendation</strong>.<br />

By Mark Schultz.<br />

This is Mark’s new, heavily<br />

illustrated novella that <strong>explores</strong><br />

the border between<br />

what we want to believe<br />

is true and the reality that<br />

we’d prefer to keep <strong>concealed</strong>.<br />

From a crime-fiction<br />

framework, it opens up<br />

into a breathtaking journey<br />

through cryptic history,<br />

cautionary science-fiction and a speculative vision of the deep<br />

future! Flesk, 2015.<br />

STOSE. HCW, 11x9, 80pg, text/b&w $24.95<br />

ART OF PETAR MESELDZIJA<br />

Imported from The Netherlands.<br />

Our Highest <strong>Recommendation</strong>.<br />

Petar Meseldzija first came to our<br />

attention in the pages of an early<br />

Spectrum and wowed me from the<br />

very beginning. This is his first<br />

comprehensive collection. His style<br />

resembles artists like Rembrandt,<br />

Frank Frazetta & Alan Lee--he’s a<br />

classical painter but with an ability<br />

to create dramatic scenes, and to<br />

imagine the same, that indeed makes me think of Frazetta.<br />

BOOK OF GIANTS By Petar Meseldzija<br />

Meseldzija, who tells how he was<br />

allowed unparalleled access into the<br />

land of giants. 16 paintings and nearly<br />

90 drawings bring to life secrets<br />

uncovered, going back to ancient<br />

times. He frees giants from the murky<br />

abyss of myth and a forgotten past,<br />

with gorgeous artwork that reminds<br />

one of Brian Froud and the Golden<br />

beloved octopus, Otto.<br />

Part of Kesinger’s<br />

the 2007 original prose novel which<br />

introduced Baltimore. Profusely<br />

illustrated in b&w by Mignola, with an<br />

Recommended. This fascinating<br />

book studies Jean-Joseph<br />

Benjamin-Constant (French, 1845-<br />

1902), one of the great Orientalist<br />

painters. Renowned during his time<br />

but little known today, he created<br />

massive architectural compositions<br />

in which he set fierce-looking<br />

Moors and dispassionate<br />

their fanciful spirit and nonsensical humor.<br />

INCREDIBLE HERB TRIMPE<br />

On Sale! Save $5! By Dewey Cassell<br />

and Aaron Sultan. From running the first<br />

photostat machine at Marvel Comics to<br />

being the first to illustrate Wolverine, no<br />

other member of the Marvel Bullpen had<br />

such a varied and remarkable career<br />

as Herb Trimpe. He drew licensed characters<br />

based on toys such as G.I. Joe,<br />

Godzilla, and Transformers, which went<br />

on to become blockbuster movies. He<br />

drew runs of super-heroes like Iron Man,<br />

Defenders, Captain Britain, and even Marvel’s flagship character<br />

Spider-Man. But he’s best known for his definitive eightyear<br />

stint drawing the Incredible Hulk. This book, produced<br />

with Herb’s full cooperation just prior to his recent passing,<br />

chronicles the life and art of Trimpe through his own voice,<br />

as well as the voices of friends and colleagues like Stan Lee,<br />

Tom DeFalco, Roy Thomas, John Romita, Bill Peckmann,<br />

Sal Buscema, Joe Sinnott, Larry Hama, Doug Moench,<br />

Eliot Brown, Len Wein, Ron Frenz, Steve Englehart, and<br />

his son Alex Trimpe. Their testimony to his talent and his<br />

legacy of artwork leave no wonder why he has been dubbed<br />

MELODY A Story of A Nude Dancer<br />

On Sale! Save $3! By Sylvie Rancourt. In 1980, Sylvie<br />

Rancourt and her boyfriend moved to Montreal from rural<br />

Northern Quebec. With limited<br />

formal education or training,<br />

they had a hard time finding<br />

employment, so Rancourt began<br />

dancing in strip clubs. Until<br />

now, the Rancourt drawn-andwritten<br />

comics have never been<br />

published in English. These stories<br />

are compelling without ever<br />

being voyeuristic or self-pitying,<br />

and her drawings are formally<br />

innovative while maintaining a<br />

refreshingly frank and engaging<br />

clarity. Whether she’s divulging<br />

her first experiences dancing for an audience or sharing<br />

moments from her life at home, her storytelling is straightforward<br />

and never sensationalized. With a knowing wink<br />

at the reader, Rancourt shares a world that, in someone<br />

else’s hands, might be scandalous or seedy, but in hers is<br />

fully realized, real, and often funny.<br />

R CRUMB’S SEX OBSESSIONS<br />

From the very beginning, even before the<br />

sexual revolution made Robert Crumb<br />

the world’s most celebrated underground<br />

cartoonist, he felt compelled to commit<br />

his sexual fantasies to paper. Once upon<br />

a time, he’d destroy them, fearful of others<br />

discovering his quirky tastes. Then he<br />

found that baring his soul provided a sort<br />

of therapy, and since has memorialized<br />

every desire. Taschen, 2015.<br />

JEFFREY JONES IDYL I’M AGE<br />

Highly Recommended. Never before<br />

collected in its entirety: Idyl, which<br />

appeared as one-page vignettes in<br />

National Lampoon. AND the successor<br />

I’m Age, 36 more one-page “stories” that<br />

began in 1981 in Heavy Metal. Surreal,<br />

philosophical, strange, sexy strips starring<br />

ethereal naked ladies uttering deep<br />

truths...or nonsense. You decide.<br />
