    Call of Cthulhu A Mystery In Three Parts SC (2021 Flesk) Illustrated Edition 1-1ST


    (see more images)

    1st printing.

    Written by H. P. Lovecraft. Art and cover by Gary Gianni.

    Written in 1928, H.P. Lovecraft's The Call of Cthulhu defined the ancient gods as dark creatures who came from the stars and ruled the world before mankind. When these ancient ones awaken, humanity is plagued by a nightmare of terrors etched upon an epic backdrop.

    The author's concept deeply redefined the horror story with this thrilling, dense mystery that spawned a virtual genre. The artist Gary Gianni and designer Marcelo Anciano both felt that Lovecraft's short story presented an opportunity to visually expand the Cthulhu Mythos and push the boundaries of illustrated books.

    The Call of Cthulhu, as illustrated by Gary Gianni, is a fusion of cinematic design, the graphic novel and illustrated books. Over a hundred finished pencil drawings with color pieces enhance and bring to life the work of two visionaries in an extraordinary feat of storytelling and art.

    Softcover, 112 pages, Text (with full color and B&W Chapter Illustrations).

    1st printing. Story and art by Cabral Ciruelo. An unforgettable original volume, The Book of the Dragon offers a glimpse of a culture we can only imagine. Dragons lurk in the most hidden corners of the world. They are powerful and beautiful creatures.

Ciruelo, an illustrator of astounding skill, delves into their secret universe, revealing a rich and fascinating culture filled with poetry, magic, enchantment, and knowledge. But the revelations go beyond the images, as we gain insight into their psychological characteristics, encounter many different types (Earth Dragons, Water Dragons, Fire Dragons, and the legendary Golden Dragon); learn about their long-held customs, and explore the many legends in which they have figured so prominently-including the heroic tales of Perseus, Hercules, and Tristan. Hardcover, 160 pages, full color. Cover price $34.99.

    Cities Made Differently SC (2024 The MIT Press) 1-1ST


    (see more images)

    1st printing. Written by David Graebar. Art and cover by Nika Dubrovsky. What makes a city a city? Who says? Drafted over decades out of a dialogue between artist and author Nika Dubrovsky, the late anthropologist David Graeber, and Nika's then four-year-old son, this delightful and provocative book Cities Made Differently opens a space for invention and collaboration. Fusing anthropology, literature, play, and drawing, the book is essentially a visual essay that asks us to reconsider our ideas about cities and the people who inhabit them. Drawing us into a world of history and myth, science and imagination, Graeber and Dubrovsky invite us to rethink the worlds we inhabit-because we can, and nothing is too strange or too wonderful to be true. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 120 pages, B&W. Cover price $19.95.
