Hardcover. NY, Marvel, 1st, 2006, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket, 248 pages. Collects Marvel Westerns from the 1960s: Marvel Comics has a long history of producing comics in the western genre, going back as far as the 1940s, before the company was even called Marvel. Some of their most popular gunfighters, like the Rawhide Kid, Two-Gun Kid, and Kid Colt, even hung on well after the superhero explosion of the 1960s, but it's been a long time since Marvel put any effort into its western universe. In this volume they attempt to harken back to their cowboy glory days by publishing a four-issue series called Marvel Westerns, which combines classic 1960s stories by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby with 21st-century interpretations of Marvel's classic western heroes. This hardcover contains the four issues of that series, along with some supplemental material. The Two-Gun Kid, Marvel Westerns: Western Legends, Marvel Westerns: Kid Colt and the Arizona Girl, Marvel Westerns: Strange Westerns Starring the Black Rider. Clean copy.

There have been very few directors in the history of Hollywood who have ever had as hard a time as Sam Peckinpah did. In a career that lasted only from 1961 to his death near the end of 1984, the man known (rather errantly) as Bloody Sam made only fourteen films--not exactly a large volume work. Despite this, however, and despite (or perhaps because of) his penchant for raising hell with studio heads and producers, Peckinpah was a never-a-dull-moment director. And when he wasn't doing that, he made himself a target for critics, both inside and outside of Hollywood, with his graphic and complex approaches to violence (his 1969 Western epic THE WILD BUNCH), while at the same time also numbering among his films two, largely non-violent gems in THE BALLAD OF CABLE HOGUE and JUNIOR BONNER that prove that the man was able to show sides of the human experience that didn't involve bullets or bloodshed.

Hardcover. Urbana IL, University of Illinois Press, 1st revised, 1997, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket, 410 pages. The book that re-established Peckinpah's reputation--now thoroughly revised and updated! When critics hailed the 1995 re-release of Sam Peckinpah's masterpiece, The Wild Bunch, it was a recognition of Paul Seydor's earlier claim that this was a milestone in American film, perhaps the most important since Citizen Kane. Peckinpah: The Western Films first appeared in 1980, when the director's reputation was at low ebb. The book helped lead a generation of readers and filmgoers to a full and enduring appreciation of Peckinpah's landmark films, locating his work in the central tradition of American art that goes all the way back to Emerson, Hawthorne, and Melville. In addition to a new section on the personal significance of The Wild Bunch to Peckinpah, Seydor has added to this expanded, revised edition a complete account of the successful, but troubled, efforts to get a fully authorized director's cut released. He describes how an initial NC-17 rating of the film by the Motion Picture Association of America's ratings board nearly aborted the entire project. He also adds a great wealth of newly discovered biographical detail that has surfaced since the director's death and includes a new chapter on Noon Wine, credited with bringing Peckinpah's television work to a fitting resolution and preparing his way for The Wild Bunch.This edition stands alone in offering full treatment of all versions of Peckinpah's Westerns. It also includes discussion of all fourteen episodes of Peckinpah's television series, The Westerner, and a full description of the versions of Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid now (or formerly) in circulation, including an argument that the label "director's cut" on the version in release by Turner is misleading. Additionally, the book's final chapter has been substantially rewritten and now includes new information about Peckinpah's background and sources.
