New in my comics shop!
Xenon #1-6 - Masaomi Kanzaki - Eclipse Comics, 1988 The Heavy Metal Warrior! This manga was created by Masaomi Kanzaki, first published in 1986 in Japan and translated into English for the Eclipse Comics release in 1988. It was almost as popular as Mai, the Psychic Girl in the states. Nonstop action - a superhero soap opera. More pictures, etc. HERE.
Sediment - C.F. - PictureBox, 2011 Individually numbered - this is 446 out of an edition of 1,000 - and initialed by the author. "Sediment showcases the pure form of CF’s vision, set free from narrative content. A multi-media compilation of work done for gallery exhibitions, commercial illustrations, sketchbook pages, and miscellany, it manages to give an impressively well-rounded overview of the various facets of its artist’s creativity, the things that make CF both unique and valuable. This isn’t a comic as such — except for the reprint of a short Bookforum strip that closes things out, the imagery collected here is not sequential — but it also can’t quite be called an art book, given its pocket size and total lack of explanatory text. The most accurate description for it is simply “a book,” one consisting entirely of pictures. A space that belongs entirely to the images, free of even character and plot’s distractions, where the audience can come to see just how much CF’s hands are able to do to their eyes." - from Matt Seneca's review for tcj.com Check it out HERE.
Thunder Mace #1-4 - RAK - 1986 Thunder Mace was created by RAK (Robert Kraus) and Rick Sellers in 1986. It was originally published by RAK Graphics in Akron, OH, before being picked up by a national distributor. Chakan the Forever Man later starred in his own SEGA game. I can’t get over these covers - equally intense on the back. More pictures HERE.
Silverheels #1-3 - cool anthology collecting stories by Scott Hampton, Jaime Hernandez (pictured above), and Ken Steacy - 1983 - Pacific Comics I’m just showing the first page of Jaime’s story in #3 above, but all 3 issues of Silverheels have stories by Scott Hampton and Ken Steacy plus some portfolio work - #3 includes the 6-pager by Jaime Hernandez. Covers all by Scott Hampton. Full-color interior - colors are spectacular in these. See for yourself HERE. I’ve also added Coda #1-3 by Frank Panucci and relisted Jordan Crane’s Uptight #1.
Lots of other cool comics are also available - check out EVERYTHING HERE. Thanks for looking and supporting my comics-making, comics-reading, and comics-collecting habit!
