    Reed Crandall Illustrator of the Comics HC (2017 TwoMorrows) 1-1ST

    1st printing.

    By Roger Hill.

    From the 1940s to the '70s, Reed Crandall brought a unique and masterful style to American comic art.

    Using an illustrator's approach on everything he touched, Crandall gained a reputation as the "artist's artist" through his skillful interpretations of Golden Age super-heroes Doll Man, The Ray, and Blackhawk (his signature character); horror and sci-fi for the legendary EC Comics line; Warren Publishing's Creepy, Eerie, and Blazing Combat; the THUNDER Agents and Edgar Rice Burroughs characters; and even Flash Gordon for King Features.

    Comic art historian Roger Hill has compiled a complete and extensive history of Crandall's life and career, from his early years and major successes, through his tragic decline and passing in 1982.

    Hardcover, 8-in. x 11-in., 256 pages, full color.

    Cover price $49.95.
