THE ROYAL BOOK OF OZLovely green cloth binding with silk book-marker. Highly Recommended. By Ruth Plumly Thompson. A wonderful new edition of the 15th book in the Oz series, first published in 1921. It is also the first book in the series writ-ten by Ruth Plumly Thompson. Six full-color plates, wonderful double-page color endpapers, two new maps and various vignettes, all drawn by Eisner Award nominated artist, Sara Rich-ard. Eisner Award winning artist and writer Eric Shanower provides an eight-page Afterword that puts this “lost” story into perspective. Clover Press, 2019. ROYOH. HC, 7x9, 258pg, Text/PC $30.00Deluxe Signed, Limited, 250. Slipcase: ROYOD. $75.00FRANK THORNE’S RIBITLimited, 1000. Recommended. Frank Thorne’s masterful blend of medieval sorcery and modern science comes together in another universe where only Ribit, the warrior woman created by magic, fights the final battle to save her world from the forces of chaos and darkness. Created as four comic books in 1989, the entire narrative has never been printed as Thorne intended until now! Limited to a print run of 1000 hardcovers. One page was left out of this when it was printed, so Hermes has included that page separately, in full color, and it can be slid into proper place. And an errata sheet explaining this is also included. Hermes Press, 2019. FRATRH. HC, 8x10, 144pg, PC $34.99 $31.99BATTLING BEAUTIES: Mature Readers. BATTBH. $60.00 $54.95 LANN: Limited, 1000!

THE ART OF MUNASHICHIHighly Recommended. Munashichi became popular drawing steampunk-like fantasy worlds with an overwhelming detail, imagination, and bold, brilliant color. He is well known in the anime and gaming industry for the concept design for the acclaimed video games Tales of Zestiria and Tales of Berseria, and the concept artwork for the anime television series Princess Principals. Gigantic, sky-high buildings, deeply extended caverns, complex crossed pipes, factory scenes, abandoned places and nostalgic townscapes are themes commonly seen in his illustrations. PIE, 2020.

On our CoverLE PATER ALPHONSE MUCHA’S SYMBOLIST MASTERPIECE Hardcover With PrintsWith 10 additional 6x9 inch prints! Only our first 35 copies will come with additional prints. Our Highest Recommendation. By Thomas Negovan. By 1899, Alphonse Mucha was the most recognizable artist of Art Nouveau graphics and the most celebrated illustrator in Paris. So Mucha insisted upon creating a deeply personal work, a magnificent, oversized deluxe limited edition, Le Pater. For the remainder of his life he considered this his master-piece. This Symbolist story features a female deity protecting humankind, sophisticated occult themes and mystical illustrations. And this edition from Century Guild is one of the most beautifully produced books I’ve seen: oversized, quarter leather, gilt embossed cover and gilt page edges...and packed with amazing work, from never-before-seen studies and paintings, each magnificent page of Le Pater itself. Century Guild, 2019. ALPMH. HC, 12x16, 224pg, PC $179.00Cover image courtesy of Century Guild Museum of Art.

News & NotesI really enjoyed Will Murray’s Tarzan, Conqueror of Mars. It’s on our backcover and the signed deluxe is on page 14. Also, ERB Inc. has announced they will bring EVERY ERB novel back into print, in uniform hardcovers, with new cover art. The first four Tarzan novels, each with a great new cover by Joe Jusko, are on page 11.Sanctum has released the final Shadow pulp reprints, bringing every one back into print. Except…some or all of the printing of #149 was lost, so we are awaiting a new printing. The final three volumes are longer, with extra stories. See page 11. All of Sanctum’s Doc Savage, most of The Shadow (#1-115), The Spider, etc. remain on sale--but supply is dwindling.I continue to bring in modern graphic novels (original new work) with mixed success. Some of my favorites, including several translated from the French, have done well. Others not so well. I personally enjoy these new, more mature stories, so I’ll keep dabbling in what I think are the best to come along, including the occasional young adult and manga works. See pages 3, 5, 22-23.Heavy Metal magazine can be hard to find, so I’m bringing in new issues. The latest is on page 30, and they’ll appear regularly in our weekly email and print newsletter.In Rare Books, we feature Erté, Frazetta, Jeffrey Jones, Syd Mead, Crumb and Vaughn Bode. We list new arrivals each week in the eblast and on the website.You’ll see a new format on the backcover of this catalog. Now it features just four items, to give each more space. These I hand pick from my favorites, just like the Featured Items on this and the following page. Our cover feature Le Pater is a gorgeous production, worth the two+ year wait. It was first announced at $100, then at $120--customers who reserved a copy really saved. We always honor the price you reserved a book at, regardless of a later price change. On our website you’ll find two additional Mucha volumes, Mucha at $11.95 and World of Mucha at $39.95. ~Bud

DINOMANIA The Lost Art of Winsor McCayThe Secret Origins of King Kong, and the Urge to Destroy

New York! Highly Recommended. By Ulrich Merkl. An impressive, king-sized book that was rather expensive originally, but now a true bargain. Merkl explores the influences McCay brought to this genre--including McCay’s own Gertie the Dinosaur animated shorts-- the animation in 1933’s King Kong, tracing our love of dinosaurs and monster movies down through the decades. Wonderful reproduction, dozens of previously unseen “lost” full color McCay pages from 1937, plus wonderful “Dino” strips direct from proofs. Breathtak-ingly designed, each page is overflowing with amazing imagery--most rarely seen or never seen before. Very, very cool. Fantagraphics, 2015. Out of Print. DINOMH.

TARZAN CONQUEROR OF MARSOur Highest Recommendation. By Will Murray. Mysteriously teleported to Mars just as John Carter once was, Tarzan searches for the one man who could show him the path home--The Warlord of Mars! I’m a huge fan of Murray’s first Tarzan novel, Return to Pal-Ul-Don. And just like reading Re-turn, I was sorry to see this new novel come to an end. It’s really fun, nice and long at 460 pages. Murray captures ERB’s style and voice very well. John Carter finally comes into play...in a major way...but not until halfway through the novel! I could elaborate, but no more spoilers. For the first half of the book, Tarzan 1) manages to stay allive, not easy, 2) explores the outer reaches of Mars, far from civilization, and 3) begins to meet the many denizens of Mars: White Apes, a Zitidar, Thoats, and Green Martians. Altus, 2020. TARCON. SC, 6x9, 460pg, Text Only $24.95Just Arrived Hardcover Signed Edition. See page 14: TARCONH. $65.00
