Text By Jesse Kowalski.

For hundreds of years artists have been inspired by the imaginative potential of fantasy. Unlike science fiction, which is based on fact, fantasy presents an impossible reality - a universe where dragons breathe fire, angels battle demons, and magicians weave spells. Written by leading historians of the field, Enchanted traces the development of fantasy art from Old Masters through Golden Age illustrators to classic cover artists.

More than 150 key works-including paintings, prints, drawings, and digital art-are illustrated in vibrant color, many at full-page size.

Hardcover, 9-in. x 12-in., 256 pages, full color.

1st printing. By Tim Pilcher and Gene Kannenberg, Jr. Cover by Garyle (in the style of Bill Ward). Back Cover by Bill Ward. Foreword by Aline Kominsky-Crumb. This international survey of erotic comics chronicles a groundbreaking form of sexual expression up to 1970, the years when mainstream culture spurned explicit eroticism. In the 1930s, American ?Tijuana Bibles, little pornographic comic books that parodied popular comics and comic strips, were widely available. World War II gave a boost to erotic comics, especially illustrated pin-ups. This set the stage for men's magazines such as Playboy, which included racy cartoons from the beginning, and fetish comics. The flowering of the counterculture in the next decade gave rise to underground comics, whose acknowledged master was Robert Crumb. A parallel development occurred in Europe, where erotic comics like Barbarella were suddenly the rage. Erotic Comics tells this story with hundreds of illustrations, informative text, and insights from key artists, writers, and publishers. It's sexy, artistic, entertaining, intriguing, and informative. Hardcover, 10-in. x 10-in., 192 pages, PC/PB&W. Mature Readers Cover price $29.95.
