The John Severin Westerns Featuring American Eagleby: Severin, John

The John Severin Westerns Featuring American Eagle
by: Severin, John

Hardcover. Seattle, Fantagraphics, 1st, 2023, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Hardcover, pictorial boards, 484 pages illustrated in color. In the 1950s, between his legendary EC work and his celebrated Marvel comics, John Severin joined with Mad artist Will Elder and Two-Fisted Tales writer Colin Dawkins to introduce a new level of historical accuracy to the comic-book Western. While Native Americans had generally been vilified or left in the shadows of gun-slinging cowboy heroes, the American Eagle stories featured in Prize Comics Western were built around action-packed tribal intrigues and a heroic Crow warrior. Collected here for the first time are all of the American Eagle stories drawn by Severin from Prize Comics Western #85-#113. Plus Severin-drawn stories featuring The Fargo Kid, Black Bull and The Lazo Kid. More than 55 exciting, gorgeous, Western tales of bullets vs. arrows, stampedes, tribal warfare, prospectors, buffalo hunters, broken treaties, gun battles, cavalry charges, wagon trains, and warriors on horseback. Thanks to Severin's famously exacting art, you'll be able to smell the leather and gunpowder. With commentary by comics historian Howard Leroy Davis. Clean, bright copy.

Wendy Red Star: Biilukaaby: Wendy Red Star

Wendy Red Star: Biilukaa
by: Wendy Red Star

Hardcover. Santa Fe, Radius Books, 1st, 2023, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket, 224 pages in color. An artist's book of augmented portraiture, documenting the symbolism and material culture of the Biilukaa (Apsaalooke).Wendy Red Star (born 1981) made her first big move off the Crow reservation to attend Montana State University in Bozeman. During one of her study sessions she discovered an image of Medicine Crow, an Apsaalooke chief, in a random book in the university library. Enamored by his image, she made a xerox copy and kept the chief's image in her sketchbook. A decade later, in 2014, she revisited this image to create an exhibition at the Portland Art Museum titled Medicine Crow & the 1880 Crow Peace Delegation. Biilukaa builds upon this theme of researching historical photographs of Apsaalooke individuals and material culture, with the artist drawing on both her personal collection and works held in museums and archives across the country. Red Star notes, "Since the time I left the Crow reservation I have encountered my tribe's material cultural in every city I have exhibited or occupied. It is incredible that so much of my community's history and material culture is kept in the vaults of these institutions hundreds of miles away from their source." The text features interviews with the artist and members of her extended family, alongside new works of primarily collaged photography. Clean copy.
