    Gahan Wilson 50 Years of Playboy Cartoons HC (2009 Fantagraphics) 1A-1ST
    • Consignment. 3% buyer's premium charged at checkout. Graded by MCS, not consignor.

    1st printing - 3 Volumes (with Slipcase). OVER ONE THOUSAND CARTOONS SPANNING 50 YEARS OF A LEGENDARY CAREER! Fifty-one, to be exact, but let's not quibble. Gahan Wilson is among the most popular, widely-read, and beloved cartoonists in the history of the medium, whose career spans the 2nd half of the 20th century, and all of the 21st. His work has been seen by millions -no, hundreds of millions- in the pages of Playboy, The New Yorker, Punch, The National Lampoon, and many other magazines; there is no telling, really, how many readers he has corrupted or comforted. He is revered for his playfully sinister take on childhood, adulthood, men, women, and monsters. His brand of humor makes you laugh until you cry. And it's about time that a collection of his cartoons was published that did justice to his vast body of work. When Gahan Wilson walked into Hugh Hefner's office in 1957, he sat down as Hefner was on the phone, gently rejecting a submission to his new gentlemen's magazine: "I think it's very well-written and I liked it very much," Hefner reportedly said, "but it's anti-sin. And I'm afraid we're pro-sin." Wilson knew, at that moment, that he had found a kindred spirit and a potential home for his cartoons. And indeed he had; Wilson appeared in every issue of Playboy from the December 1957 issue to today. It has been one of the most fruitful, successful, and long-lived relationships between a contributor and a magazine, ever. Gahan Wilson: 50 Years of Playboy Cartoons features not only every cartoon Wilson drew for Playboy, but all his prose fiction that has appeared in that magazine as well, from his first story in the June, 1962 issue, "Horror Trio," to such classics as "Dracula Country" (September 1978). It also includes the text-and-art features he drew for Playboy, such as his look at Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum, his take on our country's "pathology of violence," and his appreciation of "transplant surgery." Wilson's notoriously black sense of comedy is on display throughout the book, leaving no sacred cow unturned (an image curiously absent in the book), ridiculing everything from state sponsored executions to the sober precincts of the nouveau rich, from teenage dating to police line-ups, with scalding and hilarious satirical jabs. Although Wilson is known as an artist who relishes the creepy side of modern life, this three-volume set truly demonstrates the depth and breadth of his range - from illustrating private angst we never knew we had (when you eat a steak, just whom are you eating?) to the ironic and deadpan take on horrifying public issues (ecological disaster, nuclear destruction anyone?). Gahan Wilson has been peeling back the troubling layers of modern life with his incongruously playful and unnerving cartoons, assailing our deepest fears and our most inane follies. This three-volume set is a testament to one of the funniest - and wickedly disturbing - cartoonists alive. GAHAN WILSON was born in 1930 in Evanston, IL and lives in New York City. Hardcover (3 Volumes with Slipcase), 8-in. x 10 1/2-in., 1,056 pages, B&W. Mature Readers Cover price $125.00.

    This item is not in stock at MyComicShop. If you use the "Add to want list" tab to add this issue to your want list, we will email you when it becomes available.

    Volume 1 - 1st printing. For centuries, cartoonists have used their pens to fight a war against war, translating images of violent conflict into symbols of protest. Noted comics historian Craig Yoe brings the greatest of these artists together in one place, presenting the ultimate collection of anti-war cartoons. Together, these cartoons provide a powerful testament to the old adage, "The pen is mightier than the sword," and remind us that so often in the last couple of centuries, it was the editorial cartoonist who could say the things his fellow newspapermen and women only dreamed of, enlightening and rallying a nation against unjust aggression. Readers of The Great Anti-War Cartoons will find stunning artwork in a variety of media and forms (pen-and-ink, wash, watercolor, woodcut - single images and sequential comic strips) from the hands of Francisco Goya to Art Young, from Robert Minor to Ron Cobb, and from Honoré Daumier to Robert Crumb, as well as page after page of provocative images from such titans as James Montgomery Flagg, C.D. Batchelor, Edmund Sullivan, Boardman Robinson, William Gropper, Maurice Becker, George Grosz, Rick Griffin, and many more. This book is neither ideological nor parochial: The cartoons range across the political spectrum from staunch conservative flag-wavers to radicals and hippies, and span two centuries and the entire globe (Australia, Russia, Poland, France...). But their message remains timeless and universal. Softcover, 9-in. x 12-in., 184 pages, PC/PB&W. Cover price $24.99.

    Just When You Thought Things Couldn't Get Worse TPB (2007 FB) The Cartoons and Comic Strips of Edward Sorel 1-1ST

    1st printing. By Edward Sorel. Edward Sorel is widely recognized as America's premier illustrator. But when he wasn't painting covers and making drawings for The New Yorker, The Atlantic, Time, and Rolling Stone, he was making comic strips. Sorel's strips are iconoclastic, cynical, and universally excoriating. No target escapes his watchful wrath: politicians, theological dynasties, idealogues left and right, lawyers, publishers, and the usual gang of movers and shakers (nor does he spare himself). Culled from the pages of The Nation, the Village Voice, Penthouse, and other magazines, Sorel proves he is that most dangerous of creatures - a cartoonist with a chip on his shoulder. Softcover, 8 1/2-in. x 11-in., 144 pages, B&W.

    Edited by David Wallis.

    Think you live in a society with a free press? These celebrated cartoonists and illustrators found out otherwise. Whether blasting Bush for his Bring em on! speech, spanking pedophile priests, questioning capital punishment, debating the disputed 2000 election, or just mocking baseball mascots, they learned that newspapers and magazines increasingly play it safe by suppressing satire.

    With censored cartoons, many unpublished, by the likes of Garry Trudeau, Doug Marlette, Paul Conrad, Mike Luckovich, Matt Davies, and Ted Rall (all Pulitzer Prize winners or finalists), as well as unearthed editorial illustrations by Norman Rockwell, Edward Sorel, Anita Kunz, Marshall Arisman, and Steve Brodner, you will find yourself surprised and often shocked by the images themselves―and outraged by the fact that a fearful editor kept you from seeing them. Needed now more than ever because of a neutered press thats more lapdog than watchdog, Killed Cartoons will make you laugh, make you angry, and make you think.

    Volume 1 - 1st printing. Stories, art and cover by Bud Fisher. Reprints of the classic comic strip created by Bud Fisher. This book reprints the 1910 book of Mutt & Jeff comic strips published by Ball Company, one of the very first "comic books." Mutt gets a job as a beat cop and catches two burglars in the act. But he's a little fuzzy on what's supposed to happen after that. The format, one strip per page, showcases Fisher's detailed linework.

    Revised Special Edition - Includes 6 Lithographs - 1st printing.

    By David A. Bossert.

    Oswald the Lucky Rabbit was created in 1927 by Walt Disney and his team through twenty-six cartoon shorts. At the end of that initial run, Walt lost the contract to Oswald, which prompted the creation of Mickey Mouse. Over the years, Oswald became a footnote in the Disney story, until 2006 when The Walt Disney Company recovered rights to Walt's twenty-six shorts. For anyone interested in Disney origins, fascinated by early cinema, or entertained by a feisty little rabbit, this engaging and accessible volume delivers an in-depth look at Walt's first major animated success and the journey to reclaim the lost Disney films.

    This volume features updates on newly discovered film prints and a foreword by Disney CEO, Bob Iger.

    Hardcover, 8-in. x 11-in., 176 pages, full color. All Ages

    Cover price $80.00.
