    1st printing. Text by Michael Friedlander. Art and cover by Joe Jusko. Thirty years ago, a trading card series was released that would forever change the nonsport card industry. The 1992 Marvel Masterpieces. Because of the sheer popularity of this series, it took an unprecedented 350,000 boxes to quench the thirst of card collectors worldwide. Nothing like it has been seen before or since. This series would not have become the monumental success that it did, had artist Joe Jusko not produced 104 mind-boggling paintings! Joe literally set the standard for all the Marvel Masterpieces series that were to follow. Each of the 104 paintings have become iconic portrayals of the great Marvel characters, and these cards hold such a special place in the hearts of collectors of all ages-many of whom were young, single-digit or teenaged fans at the time of the series release. It goes without saying that a large art book which highlights the amazing work Joe created is long overdue. The art needs to be presented at a larger-than-trading-card size. This celebratory book will include all 104 of the paintings Joe produced for the original release, as well as the 20 additional paintings created for the four-issue comic collection published the following year. It will also detail the history of the series: how it came to be and the magnitude of attention that it received through numerous promotions. And finally, being published for the first time are Joe's original pencil sketches for each of the 104 trading card paintings! Hardcover, 8-in. x 11-in., 300 pages, full color. Cover price $59.00.

    John Carpenter's Asylum HC (2014 Storm King) 1-1ST

    Volume 1 - 1st printing. Collects Asylum (2013 Storm King) #1-5. Based on a story by John Carpenter. Adapted by Bruce Jones. Art by Leonardo Manco. There's a war coming to the City of Angels. In the tunnels and dark alleys of the city, demons lurk... and Lucifer bides his time. One man knows and sees the truth. Father Daniel Beckett has seen demons and he's spoken to the Devil, but he can't say the same about God or his angels. Obsessed and driven as much by betrayal as righteousness and anger as redemption, he walks the smoke-filled homeless encampments of lost souls, like Dante's nine rings of the Inferno. He is God's warrior... at war with God. With this step into the comic book world, John Carpenter brings it all to the serial world he's loved since childhood. Supernatural horror with that twist of fate that only flawed mankind can provide! Hardcover, 128 pages, full color. Mature Readers Cover price $34.99.

    1st printing. Story and art byJohn Cuneo. Imagine a world where behind every suburban front door is a licentious bacchanal. Except that you don't have to imagine it because John Cuneo has imagined it for you. Whether it's ram-headed, alcoholic, paperpushers; hand puppet sex parties; or Hokusai's insatiable octopus (who turns out, knows a thing or two about the saxophone), Cuneo renders each intimate tableaux with delightfully feverish pen strokes and delicate watercolors. Like Aesop's deranged cousin, the artist effortlessly combines the fantastical and the grotesque, dashing off outrageous snapshots of bulbous heads, dapper cats, muses depicted as gargantuan Crumbian women, and a multitude of sex acts invented for the occasion. Say what you will about the intentions, the effect is a pearl-clutching, monocle-popping, knee-slapping graphic revelation. Hardcover, 9-in. x 12-in., 104 pages, full color.

    1st printing. Story and art by Lomig. Translated by Christopher Pope. What pushed John Muir to become the pioneering environmentalist and founder of the Sierra Club? 1867: A sawmill is running at full speed with a terrible noise when suddenly, workers run to rescue a man on the ground. He has seriously injured his eyes. John Muir is twenty-nine years old and has to be confined in a dark room: it is likely that he may remain blind. But miraculously, after months of an almost mystical convalescence, he regains his sight. This episode convinces him he's going to leave everything behind and embrace his lifelong dream: head south to meet the wilderness. Armed with only his courage, his youth, a magnifying glass and a botanical book, he treks hundreds of miles on foot from Indiana to Florida. Imagine an almost pristine wilderness, where only a few dangerous ex-soldiers from the South and former slaves thrown out of the old plantations roam… This biography also covers his other life-changing pioneering trek along the Sierra Nevada Trail which now bears his name. Here, in breathtaking vistas, is the inspiration he got to found the Sierra Club, create the first national parks, and become one of Americas first and foremost environmentalist champions. Exquisitely rendered in a sepia tone. Hardcover, 8 1/2-in. x 11-in., 176 pages, B&W. Cover price $24.99.
