James Fee
by: Fee, James

Hardcover. St. Ann's Press, 1st, 2001, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, 130 pages. Hardcover with dust jacket. Like new in publisher's shrink-wrap. This first monograph on Fee accompanies two major gallery exhibitions in California. Fee has done editorial photography for such publications as Vanity Fair and Entertainment Weekly, but this publication focuses on his fine arts work from the past ten years. Fee physically manipulates his photographs and negatives in the darkroom, adding toners and chemical stains that result in beautiful glows of bronze and blue. This effect adds to a sense of decay in his dark, iconographic imagery of America, featured in the photos that make up the first half of this book. Also included are collaborations between Fee and Beat sculptor George Herms.

by: Meyerowitz, Rick

Hardcover. NY, Abrams, 1st, 2010, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright, unclipped dust jacket.

To create Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead, former Lampoon illustrator Rick Meyerowitz selected the funniest material from the magazine and sought out the survivors of its first electrifying decade to gather their most revealing and outrageous stories. The result is a mind-boggling tour through the early days of an institution whose alumni left their fingerprints all over popular culture: Animal House, Caddyshack, Saturday Night Live, Ghostbusters, SCTV, Spinal Tap, In Living Color, Ren & Stimpy, The Simpsons--even Sesame Street counts a few Lampooners among its ranks. 320 pages, mostly color.

Edward Hopper: The Art and the Artist
by: Gail Levin

Hardcover. NY, W.W Norton/Whitney Museum, 7th pr., Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright, unclipped dust jacket. Hopper is generally considered the major twentieth-century realist. Such paintings as House by the Railroad, Early Sunday Morning, and Nighthawks seem to embody the very character of our time. Yet few people have penetrated the mask of Hopper's public image. Here, Gail Levin has gone beyond the standard evaluations of the man and his work to investigate the authentic identity of the artist and the way his personality informed his art. She has uncovered aspects of Hopper's life (and even unknown works) that provide the first comprehensive view of the artists early development. The fascinating and often poignant story of Hopper's long struggle for recognition gives new insight into his later pessimism. A complex man is revealed, introspective and intellectual, yet romantic, illuminating the many levels of meaning in the paintings of his maturity. In addition to Hopper's watercolors and oil paintings, there are study drawings for his major works and documentary photographs illuminating all phases of his life. 280 color and 220 black-and-white illustrations.

Telling Stories: The Classic Comic Art of Frank Frazetta
by: Frazetta, Frank; Mason, Edward [Editor]

Hardcover. Underwood Books, 1st, 2008, Hardcover in a pictorial slipcase. Fantasy art's most popular painter was also one of the most popular comic book illustrators during the industry's golden age. Telling Stories: The Classic Comic Art of Frank Frazetta celebrates the rare and largely forgotten stories created five decades ago by this iconic artist. These jungle adventures, true-life tales of heroism, and dreamy love stories not only exhibit the skill of a master craftsman but also provide tantalizing glimpses of where the young artist's career would ultimately take him. This collection includes his complete Thunda tales and best romance works like "Untamed Love," "Empty Heart," "A Love of My Own," "The Wrong Road," and "Too Late for Love." These romance stories, often overlooked, feature some of Frazetta's finest works with shapely women, nude statues, and implied sensuality. Also featured are his heroic works such as Heroic Comics, White Indian, and the long-running series ME, alongside Squeeze Play, his one and only solo-drawn story for EC. Additionally, there are rare SF stories such as Captain Comet and Judy of the Jungle, along with his best and most obscure late 1940s works. Still in publisher's shrinkwrap.

Terry and the Pirates: The Master Collection Vol. 2: 1936 - The Burma Blues
by: Milton Caniff/Dean Mullaney (Editor)

Hardcover. Clover Press, 1st, 2022, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Hardcover, pictorial boards. 11 X 14". Volume 2 of this landmark series-reproduced from Milton Caniff's personal set of color syndicate tabloid proofs-features the iconic 1936 daily and Sunday adventures, which continue their separate paths until the end of August when the stories-and cast of characters-are happily united once and for all. In the Sunday Saga, Pat and Cap'n Blaze have it out across a checker board! Then things get really hot when the Dragon Lady and her men lay siege to Blaze's encampment! A twist of fate puts Pat in charge of the Dragon Lady's forces, but they're mistaken for soldier-of-fortune pirates when the Chinese Army storms their position. It takes timely intervention from a surprising source to gain their freedom. Meanwhile, in the Daily Saga, fists fly when Terry, Connie, and Pat are taken prisoner by the insidious Captain Judas-and sparks fly when the boys have their first meeting with beautiful, blonde Burma! The famous strips from March 16-21 steamed up the national audience and became one of the most imitated sequences in comic strip history. Later, cat claws are unsheathed against the backdrop of plague on the planation run by Stan and Wendy Wingate, Burma takes a dive, and with the daily and Sunday strips integrated into a unified storyline the boys once again confront the Dragon Lady before running afoul (accent on the foul!) of Papa Pyzon.
