Featured New Items On our Cover BEAUTY AND THE BEAST Signed Signed full color bookplate! Our Highest Recommendation. By Mahlon F. Craft. Art by Kinuko Craft. Award-winning team Mahlon and Kinuko Craft bring us a gorgeous and vivid retelling of the classic story of Beauty and the Beast in this stunningly illustrated picture book, with allnew illustrations. One of today’s finest fantasy artists, it all comes together for her here--double page spreads, brilliantly ornate borders, highly detailed costumes, jewery, settings, and very personable characters--the charming, innocent beauty and the scary, startling beast. Harper Collins, 2016. BEBEH. HC, 9x11, 32pg, Text/FC $17.99 Cover: “Tea with the Beast” Artwork by Kinuko Y. Craft ©2016 s All Rights Reserved www.kycraft.com DESCANTS & CADENCES The Art of Stephanie Law Signed Signed! Recommended. A new artist to us but one with superlative fantasy work and fine, fine technical skills. From fairies and beautiful fantasy women, to--really--the most amazing illustrations of insects such as bees and dragonflies we have seen. We can only compare this side of her work to the great E.J. Detmold, who could actually romanticize insects with his high level of skill at water color and capturing the exact moment of dynamics. Law does this also, along with excellent design and creativity. Shadowscapes, 2016. DESCS. SC, 10x11, 132pg, FC $35.00 ART QUEST OF ALEX NINO Signed with Original Drawing Signed with original drawing! By Alex Niño. This book offers a collection of Alex Niño’s most recent work using graphite pencil, color pencil, pen and ink, color markers, acrylics and other art media wherein he continues to experiment with new approaches. The 132-page art book also highlights and shares his own distinctive style and techniques. Alex Niño, 2015. ARTQHS. HCW, 9x11, 133pg, PC Our Highest Recommendation. By Thomas Negovan. By 1899, Alphonse Mucha had experienced four years as the most recognizable proponent of Art Nouveau graphics and the most celebrated illustrator in Paris. The massive output in the advertising and decorative work earned much for Mucha’s publisher but very little for the artist himself. So Mucha insisted upon the release of a deeply personal work, and printed 510 copies of what he considered his works-on-paper masterpiece, Le Pater--a female deity protecting humankind, and a number of sophisticated occult themes. Century Guild, 2016. ALPM. SC, 8x11, 59pg, PC $35.00 LE PATER ALPHONSE MUCHA’S SYMBOLIST MASTERPIECE With Prints With 10 additional 6x9 prints! Our Highest Recommendation. By Thomas Negovan. Special Kickstarter edition with two separate sets of prints, else the same as the softcover. CCentury Guild, 2016. ALPMP. SC, 8x11, 59pg, PC $65.00 Hardcover with 10 prints (Due Jan): ALMPH.$100.00 Look for the star symbol. These are items that are deeply discounted from the original publisher’s price. Most of these items have been closed out by the publisher and we have limited copies. Buy now before they’re gone! News & Notes This is our Christmas catalog. We’ve added eight extra pages, and on page 26 you’ll find a list of 95 of our very favorite items. These are already popular titles, and the ones I’m proudest to be carrying; books I have given to my kids, my grandkids, my uncle, and friends; books I always recommend at shows and in my local bookstore. This, to me, makes them perfect gift recommendations for the holidays! Kinuko Craft went far beyond what we asked for with her bookplate for Beauty and the Beast. We expected an unused preliminary drawing, something minor and already done. Instead, she painted an entirely new image and she designed it specifically as a bookplate. Thank you Kinuko! It’s free, with a lovely, very gift-worthy book that sells for just $17.99 (see above and on our cover)! I’m closing out a few of the Collector Supplies that have proved to be very slow sellers. See them with the other supplies on page 17.

Introduction by W. Michael Kaluta! Highly Recommended. This new work deserves your attention. Don’t just take my word for it, here’s Michael Kaluta from his introduction: “If one’s first encounter were put into words, perhaps we’d quote... Doctor Who...‘Oh! Aren’t you a beauty.’ There is a magic effect to THB’s portraiture...THB applies his knowledge, his insights, and his ability to present worlds unseen to everything he creates.” PAJ, 2015. FACFIS. SC, 12x9, 96pg, FC $34.95 FACES FIGURES FANTASIES Deluxe Signed Slipcased. Signed! Extremely small limitation. Our Highest Recommendation.

HCW, 12x9, 96pg, FC $125.00 $90.00 $150.00 HERE THERE BE DRAGONS Highly Recommended. By Roger Zelazny. Art by Vaughn Bodé. Roger Zelazny’s only two children’s books in affordable new hardcover editions. In a tiny, isolated kingdom long ago and far away, everyone believed that the world beyond was infested with fearsome, fire-breathing dragons and no one dared venture forth. No one, that is, except William. First published in a limited edition in 1992. Grant, 2016. HETH. HC, 9x11, 24pg, Text/FC $19.99 Highly Recommended. By Roger Zelazny. Art by Vaughn Bodé.

SC, 8x12, 94pg, b&w $15.99 $45.00 ART OF RICHARD LUONG Signed Recommended. By Richard Luong. “I am extremely fortunate to have had the opportunity to work on Cthulhu Wars. Before the project, I had worked in games as an illustrator and concept artist. My art didn’t garner much attention. Cthulhu Wars launched and was a huge success. All of a sudden people took notice of my work and for the first time ever, I had fans.” Krakenprint, 2016. ARRLH. HCW, 9x11, 160pg, PC $35.00 EDGAR ALLAN POE THE RAVEN POP-UP Highly Recommended.

WAY UP HIGH AMANO ILLUSTRATIONS Highly Recommended. By Archie Goodwin. Al Williamson’s career is crammed full of amazing accomplishments. Until seeing this original artwork, I didn’t realize how finely detailed this is, very much in his EC style! This is legendary among fans. His heroic adventure style was perfectly suited for Star Wars--Williamson was George Lucas’ first choice for the Star Wars newspaper comic strip, which he would later go on to draw! IDW, 2016. AWEAEH. HCW, 15x22, 160pg, b&w Highly Recommended. By Stan Lee. Art by Jack Kirby. This features The Mighty Thor, one of the early Marvel key characters and a favorite of both Stan and Jack.

Classic complete stories are included from Journey Into Mystery #111, #117, #118, #134, #135 and Thor Annual #2, and more, plus a beautiful gallery section! Jack Kirby was the most important and influential artist in comics history and co-created much of the Marvel Universe. IDW, 2016. JKMTAEH. HCW, 15x22, 160pg, b&w $150.00 $150.00 Signed! Highly Recommended. The third art book by award winning artist Michael C. Hayes. Calling this a convention sketchbook doesn’t do it justice, although Michael has certainly produced this to offer to fans at shows he attends. We first met him at the Spectrum show and are hugely impressed by his talent. In the same classical, full-blown painting style you see from Donato Giancola, here is fantasy--and fantasy women--brilliantly executed and with warm, rich colors and detail. Michael Hayes. EXODS.

ELFAH. HCW, 9x12, 304pg, PC $50.00 $100.00 FREEHAND THE ART OF STANLEY MOUSE Recommended. Mouse’s art captured the 1960’s pop look and was instrumental in linking the art scene to the music, the other major art form of the ‘60s generation. Best known for his posters and album covers, Mouse created art and particularly concert posters for the Beatles, Eric Clapton, Janis Joplin, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Journey and, of course, the Grateful Dead.

Process, 2013. HASHH. HCW, 8x10, 118pg, Text/PC $29.95 $26.95 4 New Edition. Recommended. From impossible staircases to tesselated birds, Dutch artist M. C. Escher (1898-1972) crafted a unique graphic language of patterns, puzzles, and mathematics. His work is at the same time decorative and playful, toying constantly with optic illusions and the limitations of sensory perception. New edition of a 1959 classic with Escher’s commentary.

The result is a a world that is whimsically sinister, darkly vivid, and completely unforgettable. Full color plates and b&w drawings throughout. Harper Collins, 2016. GGTH. HC, 7x9, 288pg, b&w M. C.

A beautifully painted, oversized collection of increasingly erotic images of William’s “muse,” artist Soey Milk. Here she poses for gentle portraits, complex illustrative tableaux, and ultimately highly erotic nudes, even with other girls and hints of bondage and domination/submission. It’s one of the most arresting and fascinating collections of his art we’ve seen. ASFA, 2016. Adult Material. VIALH. HCW, 12x13, 64pg, FC $49.95 By Scott Tracy Griffin. Historian Griffin traces the development of the history-making Tarzan franchise, from the motion-picture industry’s early silents and serials, through the high point of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer era featuring Johnny Weissmuller and Maureen O’Sullivan, to modern worldwide hits like Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes and Walt Disney Studios’ animated Tarzan.

One of the most talented and prolific of the cover artists at Edifumetto--the foremost Italian producer of adult comics during this period--was Alessandro Biffignandi, whose work featured horror, fantasy, and sci-fi elements alongside plenty of naked female flesh.

Unrepentant, unapologetic, unbridled and under-appreciated, genre art from the first half of the 20th century reflected the subconscious urges of an economically deprived and sexually depressed generation.

He moved on to create the most famous hard-boiled detective ever, books filled with violence and sex that sold millions. Hermes, 2013. MHCOMH.
