This all-new hardcover matches the format as Le Faune deMars, 4o Days in the Desert and Le Major.But this is purely an Art of Moebius, collecting most surreal paintings and drawings.“Lazlo Parker” is an obscure artist, purelyfrom Moebius’ imaginings--an expert inmechanized and yet organic shapes, a compulsive-obsessivedrawer. Minimal text (intro, afterword and minor captioning)all in French. Moebius Productions, 2020.LAZLH. HC, 6x8, 320pg, PC 50.00THE INCALBack in print. Collects the 1st six volumes of The Incal, 1981-88. Highly Recommended. By Alejandro Jodorowsky. Artby Jean Giraud (Moebius). Here is Moebius at his finest!! John Difool, a detective ina degenerate dystopian world, finds his lifeturned upside down when he discovers anancient, mystical artifact called “The Incal.”Difool’s adventures will bring him intoconflict with the galaxy’s greatest warrior, the Metabaron, andwill pit him against the awesome powers of the Technopope.These encounters and many others have Difool fighting fornot only his very survival but also the survival of the entireuniverse. And Moebius obviously had a great time with thesewild, metaphysical, cosmic drawings. Humanoids, 2020.INCAH. SC, 8x10, 316pg, FC 29.99 26.99Look for the star symbol. These areitems that are deeply discounted fromthe original publisher’s price. Most ofthese items have been closed out by thepublisher and we have limited copies. Buynow before they’re gone!As a big fan of Reed Crandall I was happy to feature Reed’s iconic work on our cover.The bookplate above was from an unfinished painting that Reed meant for his friendAl Williamson. Jerry Weist sold it to me in 1970. If you bought the hardcover from us,we’re happy to send you this bookplate at no charge. Ask for it with your next order.Author Roger Hill also wrote Mac Raboy: Master of the Comics [MACRAH. 39.95].It too has my Highest Recommendation. It’s a wonderful, informative book. Rogerpublishes The EC Fan Addict.The Spectrum Annual has been delayed due to the pandemic and an editor change.Two years of the best in fantasy art will be combined into the next edition. Arnie andCathy Fenner have returned to co-edit. And they are planning Spectrum Quarterly, anupscale, 12x12 magazine in the meantime!Taschen is planning an XXL Frazetta volume in the same oversized format as the popular History of EC and Masterpieces of Fantasy Art.

Taschen has less than 50 copies left of EC. Welaid in enough copies, I hope, to last for a while.FPG has just announced The Art of Enric, the fabled illustrator of Vampirella. He’sjust as good as Sanjulian and Maroto--what is it about Spain that produces such finepainters? There will be a 50 hardcover and a 275 signed limited edition (195 copies).It should be on our website by the time you read this.ERB Inc is very close to releasing the next set of Tarzan editions, volumes 9-12.
