 Beasts, Comics' Best
& Fairy
Fantasy
From terrifying
beasts to ethereal fairies, this week's new arrivals cater to both
your light and dark sides. Kinuko Craft has long been one of
our favorite fantasy (and fairy) artists, and we're pleased announce
she finally has a lovely collection of all her own, Kinuko
Craft: Drawings & Paintings, which we're offering with
an exclusive signed & illustrated bookplate at no extra
charge.
At the other end
of the spectrum is the delightfully demented Beasts!,
with 90 tormented creatures by Dean Yeagle, Tim Biskup, Gilbert
Hernandez, James Jean, Stan Sakai, and more -- a diverse and
highly entertaining line-up! And somewhere in the middle of light
and dark art lies John Jude Palencar, whose hotly anticipated
book Origins:
The Art of John Jude Palencar has arrived in hardcover at
long last. Enjoy!
