THE ART OF
GREG CAPULLO
Recommended.
Any Spawn fan knows the name by heart. Capullo is an artist's artist, and this stunning collection contains his best comics and illustration work, from Spawn to Case Files, and Sam & Twitch.
Shown without the text and logos from all those covers, this lets you take a good long look at the art itself! From beautiful covers to interior pencils, this also features many never-before-seen pieces and a behind the scenes tutorial. Introduction by Todd McFanbre, who compares Greg's talent to a painterly John Buscema!

IT RHYMES WITH LUST
Highly Recommended.
Illustrated by Matt Baker. A graphic novel from 1949? You'd better believe it. Reprinted at last, almost impossible to find in the original edition, this is an eye-opener in many ways.
Inspired by the 1930s woodcut novels of Lynd Ward and Frans Masereel, it's a novel of romance and corruption, about a brave newspaperman and a beautiful but deadly woman, a gun-for-hire and an evil political genius. Matt Baker, THE premier "good girl" artist of the 1950s, has been the subject of two books. "I've collected comics for 40 years and never had a chance to own a copy until now!" -Bud.

HR GIGER:
www HR Giger com
Edited by Althea Chia.
More than 45 years of fantastic art. In 1980 Giger won an Oscar for the design of the title figure and the backdrop, in the film Alien, and he has collaborated on numerous other film projects since then. This volume is packed with images of his surrealist dream landscapes and the creation of his unique bio-mechanoids. He has designed wonderfully unusual furniture which adorns the HR Giger Museum in Switzerland. "Like Hieronymus Bosch, like Pieter Bruegel, Giger mercilessly shows us the anabolism and catabolism of our realities." -Timothy Leary. Originally published at $39.99.
