Phoenix: Optics Binding, 2020. Folio. Limited edition of only 15 copies. The present copy is number 4. 593 pages. 593 pages. Wallace (Wally) Wood was known for his influence on both Robert Crumb and Art Spielman. While he "pictured" at least one story for Mad Magazine from its first issue in October 1972 to its last in 1964 (with one exception #68), he collaborated often with Orson Bean, Ernie Kovacs, Danny Kay, Sid Caesar, and most frequently Harvey Kurtzman.

He was the inaugural inductee into… Read More

This volume of Kinsei Bijinroku is written in a column woodblock print format with furigana for easier reading with illustrations throughout and color illustrations on the covers in the classic 2 volume print where the covers come together to make a single image.

1942 SUPERMAN 1ed Superhero Graphic Novel DC Comic Lowther Color Illustrated
"When Superman came out, it galvanized the entire industry. It's just part of the American scene. Superman is going to live forever."
― Jack Kirby, Comics Journal
Superman is one of the most popular fictional superheroes of all time, published by DC Comics. Superman appeared in various radio shows, newspaper comics, and eventually television and movie premiers. Because of his popularity, the name Superman has become synonymous with the American comic book. The book is the first novelization of a comic book character, and the first Superman story written by someone other than Jerry Siegel. It was Lowther who first provided many now-familiar details of Superman's birth and early life.
This 1942 first book edition by Random House features nine full-page illustrations with all 4 color illustrations.
