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.

Film expert Jason Bailey explores why Pulp Fiction is such a brilliant and influential film.

He discusses how the movie was revolutionary in its use of dialogue, time structure, and cinematography - and how it completely transformed the industry and artistry of independent cinema.

Illustrated throughout with original art inspired by the film, with sidebars and special features on everything from casting close calls to deleted scenes, this is the most comprehensive, in-depth book on Pulp Fiction ever published.

1st printing. By Tony Mitchell. Through over 200 color and black-and-white stimulating and perhaps shocking photographs, Sex: Take a Walk on the Wild Side explores the subject of what was once considered "dirty" or "taboo" sex through themes like dressing for pleasure, domination and discipline, bondage games, and extreme pleasures. Fetishism, bondage, and sadomasochism are prime examples of previously taboo areas of sexuality that are now being reevaluated by mainstream society. Sex looks at what is happening on those boundary lines through the eyes of fifty talented photographers who bring a wide range of experiences and viewpoints to their chosen subject matter and expose their work through every kind of visual medium. Photographers include Helmut Newton, Irving Klaw, John Alexander Scott Coutts, John Sutcliffe, Suze Randall, Alwyn Coates, Bob Zak, Erik Hansen, and many others. Softcover, 9 1/2-in. x 11-in., 224 pages, PC/PB&W. Mature Readers

1st printing. Written by Michael Farr. and Pierre Sterckx. Art and cover by Herge. Since he first appeared in Hergé's weekly cartoon strip in Le Petit Vingtième in Paris in 1929, Tintin has become one of the most celebrated characters in the comic world. With more than 200 million copies of the famous twenty-three "albums" sold worldwide, Hergé's iconic hero has exploded genres and expectations. Drawing on the archives of the Hergé Museum in Brussels, this book looks at the evolution of Hergé's artwork, from the simplicity of the early newspaper strips to the sophisticated graphic work of the later books. With rarely seen pencil sketches, character drawings, and watercolors alongside original artwork from the finished stories, the book illuminates Tintin's progress from whimsical caricature to profound icon and reveals parallel development from cartoonist to artist. Hardcover, 9-in. x 12-in., 240 pages, PC/PB&W. Cover price $50.00.
