    Volume 3 - 1st printing. "The Art of Fernando Carcupino!"

    This is the third volume in the Sex and Horror series, which celebrates the publishing craze known as "fumetti sexy": Italian adult comics and cartoons with a unique take on such genres as horror, crime, fantasy, history, and fairy tales. Their success was due in part to their uninhibited mix of twisted humor, gory violence, and up-front eroticism, but the element that makes them so collectible today is their technicolor cover illustrations, rendered by classically trained painters.

    This book focuses on the work of Fernando Carcupino, famed not just for his comic work but his pinups, as well.

    Softcover, 9-in. x 10-in., 192 pages, full color. Mature Readers

    The second in the deluxe DC Comics series by TASCHEN!

    With super heroes nearly extinct at the start of the 1950s, DC Comics reignited the fire that would make them central to modern popular culture by infusing them with science fiction elements. DC's writers and editors spun ever-more fantastic tales, bringing super heroes and Bob Hope alike into the realm of sci-fi. The results were transformative, delivering the first-ever "reboot" of Golden Age greats with the Flash, Green Lantern, and Hawkman as well as the hit TV show Batman.

    The Silver Age of DC Comics chronicles it all. Plus, a new exclusive interview with Green Lantern/Batman artist Neal Adams!

    Hardcover, 9-in. x 12-in., 416 pages, full color.

    Cover price $59.99.
