HAPPY NEW YEAR

Dear Readers I'm about to close the doors for the last time in this year, to reopen again on Wednesday, that's in 2013.

To all of you, our customers, suppliers, publishers and the talented artists whose work we so admire, a productive, prosperous, peaceful and 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

WHAT'S UP AT PULP'S ART DECEMBER 26

So, let's ring out the old and ring in the new for 2012 and 2013, in this probably the last post from us for this year!

Our review of the new art books for this year begins with two classics,

FLASH GORDON THE TYRANT OF MONGO

HC 176pp Color B+W

Titan Books

Titan continue their complete collection of Alex Raymond's Flash Gordon strip, this volume features all the strips from 1937 through to 41.

You probably know that Raymond was a perfectionist and that his work and this strip had a huge influence on subsequent artists in a variety of mediums from Frank Frazetta and Al Williamson to George Lucas.

Another great who bequeathed a hefty legacy to the comic medium was,

WOODWORK 1927 - 1981

HC 328pp Color B+W

IDW

This is the gorgeous profusely illustrated catalog for the largest career retrospective for this crucial artist held in De Palma Spain in 2010.

Wally Wood was a master of atmosphere and action, there wasn't a genre he couldn't bring something fresh to, historical epic, horror, war, science fiction, erotica he drew it all and with aplomb and a lot of it is represented here.

We have a nice selection of Wood's comic work, including these reprint volumes from IDW, Fantagraphics and Vanguard,

So, to more modern fare and a couple of books from the other side of the Pacific,

READ OR DIE OFFICIAL ARCHIVE

Finished art, conceptual art, pin-ups and character designs by Tony Taka,are featured in this the third collection on spins offs from the successful "Shining" saga.

We stay in the Pacific with two new books by Australian publisher Ballistic,

EXPOSE # 10

SC 288pp Color

Ballistic Publishing

The series which in the opinion of the publisher collects the best in digital art and it's hard to argue with their claim, for this is a pretty fabulous collection of artists covering a wide variety of subjects in an equally broad series of styles.

Full disclosure, the cover to the next book doesn't actually look quite like this, basically this is a negative because the actual cover is pristine white and that wouldn't show up too well.

MASSIVE BLACK 2

SC = slip case 208pp Color B+W

Ballistic Publishing

Ace media design studio Massive Black present a new collection of their best designs from games, films, TV, etc. covering a variety of genres but with an emphasis on futuristic fire power.

While we're on the subject of great game designs, Udon have reprinted the first collection of Darksider designs to accompany the recently released volume 2.

Finally to an utterly gorgeous special edition of a wonderful BD from talented Spanish artist, Ana Miralles,

MURAQQA

HC 112pp Color B+W

Snorgleux Editions

A deluxe edition featuring the original penciled pages and their colored counterparts, as well as lots of bonus features, such as prints and sketches in this deluxe edition limited to 150 copies.

Muraqqa tells the story of a beautiful young women in the harem of a Mogul prince, the opulence of the Indian setting allow Mirrales to indulge her passion for detailing the exotic decorative arts of foreign cultures.

So, from the new releases to the news, things will be changing for us with the New Year.

Adnan is off to concentrate on his cherished ambition to become a bonifide BD artist, we naturally wish him all the best with this.

Those of you missing him already will be comforted to know he will be covering for me while I man our stand at the Angouleme BD Festival at the end of January.

However, this means I have even more to do than sit behind the counter here looking pretty and surfing the net between bouts of engaging with customers and selling books.

Our other activities including our Internet sales, distribution, export sales, salon attendance and publishing will also require my attention and so in the New Year our hours will change.

Pulp's Art will be closed on Mondays and in the mornings of the remaining weekdays, Saturday will be the one day a week when we'll be open from 10,30 to 19,30 but with a break for lunch.

I'll take this opportunity to offer sincere thanks to all our customers for their patronage and support through out 2012, we - well I - hope to see you here again in 2013.

Finally I wish all of you a prosperous and peaceful New Year and hope we close some of the distance we still have left to travel to reach a sane and just world for all.

WHAT'S HOBBITSES PRECIOUS?

So, let's assume Coco Bean and the other Mayans were wrong in their predictions and the world wont end tomorrow night at midnight, affording you the time to pop into Pulp's Art to pick up a hot from the press copy of:

THE HOBBIT AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY CHRONICLES

HC 272pp Color Black + White

Harmer Design

The answer to the quesion posed by this post's title is that Hobbits are small fantasy folk created by a profesor of English, J.R.R.Tolkien, to entertain his children but which proved very popular with readers when he decided to release his stories for a general public, the wee folk then became a media sensation when a New Zealander began adapting these tales for a cinematic audience!

So, I'm sure all of you are aware Peter Jackson, who adapted Tolkien's Lord of the Rings to critical and popular acclaim, has gone back to Middle Earth to adapt Tolkien's more modest tale The Hobbit.

Well the director and his team decided to adapt the original story with a degree of license and to throw in certain subplots alluded to, or simply outlined, in the notes for the Lord of the Rings, so that now three films will be required to tell the tale.

The first film of the trilogy has already gained favorable reviews and packed cinemas, this book covers the visual development to achieve the look of this first film.

Beneath the gorgeous embossed cover is a wealth of visual detail such as only the obsessed designers of Weta Workshop would create, in collaboration with artist such as John Howe and Alan Lee, both of whom return having made enormous contributions to the earlier adaptations.

The book also includes inserts of Thorin's map and Bilbo's Burglar Contract and a small feature on the first few collectibles produced by Weta and theor associates.

So yes it's a return to Middle Earth but the look of the new characters and settings and the twists on the familiar make everything seem fresh and exciting!

NEW AT PULP'S ART 18 DECEMBER

Hi readers, it's a small but good selection of books we feature in this our last listing of arrivals before Christmas.

Let's cut straight to one of the most eagerly anticipated books to be released in a while and a timely arrival if you follow Mayan predictions for the end of the world.

ART OF DARKSIDERS 2

SC 200pp Color Black + White

Udon Entertainment

A heap of fabulous art by fan favorite, comic artist Joe Madureira, is featured along side designs by the team at Vigil Games in this book covering the development and promotional art for the second instalment of the Apocalyptic fantasy game, Darksiders.
The principal characters and settings for the game get plenty of coverage in this stunning and comprehensive visual guide to the new installment.
Not quite ready for the end of all things, Death brakes ranks with the other three Horseman of the Apocalypse to foil Armageddon, is the basic concept behind this amazing Gothic fantasy game derived from the Bible's cryptic Book of Revelations.

We visit a different sort of future now but one hardly more cheerful in,

JUDGE DREDD THE COMPLETE BRIAN BOLLAND

HC 248pp Black + White

IDW

Grimm faced and determined, eyes always hidden by a visor ed helmet, the future law enforcer Judge Dredd was never better depicted than by Brian Bolland.

The fan favorite DC cover artist, Brain Bolland, cut his teeth on the UK's favorite action comic strip, Judge Dredd, back in the 70s and 80s.

The adventures of Judge Dredd parodied aspects of contemporary UK and US culture, some of the gags and puns are very specific but the basic story of a hard as nails law enforcer in a weird future had broad appeal.

OK let's leave all this pessimism for another day and concentrate now on the more cheerful arrivals,

POGO BY WALT KELLY COMPLETE SYNDICATED STRIPS

2 x HC + Box, 600+pp Color Black + White 

Fantagraphics Books

Before becoming a highly respected and successful comic strip artist, Walt Kelly was one of the gifted draftsmen and women conjuring the magic for Walt Disney's animated shorts and feature films.

Having established that he was an excellent artist, you should also know he was also able to tell wonderful and humorous stories about his times, using the creatures inhabiting the Okefenokee Swamp.

Kelly's style would have an enormous influence on the comic strip and his tremendous ability ensured he enjoyed a loyal and enthusiastic readership for Pogo from it's debut in the 1940s right up to Walt's untimely death in the early 70s.

Contemporary talents as diverse as Alan Moore and Frank Cho are fans and would doubtless urge you to do your self a favor and go exploring in the Okefenokee.
Fantagraphics tracked down and scanned all the original daily and color Sunday pages for these books, which were lovingly produced in partnership with Walt's daughter Carolyn.

Finally an anthology sketch book by thee awesome artists who deserve to be much better known,

CATRA SEES ALL

SC 48pp Color

Mindy Lee, Garett Hanna and Corry Loftis are three designers in games and animation, most recently Corry 's work was all over the wonderful Wreck it Ralph, Mindy draws like she's designing fashion ware for a Tim Burton Chanel promo while Garett has a style which for me magically combines Man Arenas and David Cooper! 

This book is available in a limited quantity, signed by all three artists and frankly couldn't look much better than it does, I'm calling it a sketch book but honestly the images are finished to the highest degree so it's really just a small art book.

OK, if anything arrives before now and next week I'll put out an announcement but if it doesn't and this is the last time I address you before the holidays we hope you have a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

ART OF DARKSIDERS 2

JUDGE DREDD THE COMPLETE BRIAN BOLLAND

HC 248pp Noir et Blanc

IDW

Visage impassible et déterminé  les yeux toujours cachés par une visière et un casque, le gardien de la paix du futur qu'est Judge Dredd n'a jamais été aussi bien illustré que par Brian Bolland.

L'un des artistes favoris de couvertures de comics a fait ses premières armes avec le personnage de Judge Dredd.

Les aventures du Judge Dredd parodient des aspects contemporains des sociétés Américaines et Anglaises, certains gags et jeux de mots sont tres spécifique mais les histoires font appellent à une culture plus générale.

POGO BY WALT KELLY COMPLETE SYNDICATED STRIPS

IT BEING NEARLY CHRISTMAS

Hello readers so this is the time of year when retailers like to recommend certain items as the ideal gift.
We at Pulp's Art don't have corporate sponsors dangling a carrot or waving a stick at us and so we're loathed to suggest - on this site anyway - that any one item in our store would make a better gift than any other.
Frankly I think all our books, posters, prints, laminates, portfolios and our one collectible have plenty of potential to delight anyone lucky enough to receive any of them.
However, if you would like our assistance in selecting a gift then we will happily offer our advice, simply call into the shop or contact us.

If you were wondering, then yes we will be closed on December 25.

Wishes of peace on earth and good will to all are frequently expressed at this time of year but keeping these sentiments in mind through out the year, of understanding, compassion, respect and civility will surely make tragedies such as last Friday's in Connecticut less common, I sincerely hope so and our thoughts are with our many American friends.

NEW AT PULP'S ART DECEMBER 12

Hello readers, bare with me please I need to send a specific customer service announcements.
Would the lady who sent us payment for a delivery of the Bob Peak book contact us on the store's phone # please?


OK, to this week's new arrivals and given the inability of mainstream publishers to honor their initial on sale dates, let's be grateful to small and independent publishers for getting out new and original books.

NOSTALGIA CASSANDRA POULSON

SC 32pp Black + White

The first sketch book from this talented LA based animation artist, plenty of fan favorite characters from comics and film are featured in Cassandra's book.

AXEL # 13 PLEASE WAKE ME FOR THE DUTY FREE

SC 52pp Black + White

Lightbox

Axel is an animation and comic artist with 15 years on the clock as a professional.

These images were created on a trip to China and Japan, if you like your pages absolutely crammed with robotics and funny faces then this book should tickle your fancy.

ERIC CANETE DEDICACE

SC 42pp Black + White

Stuart Ng Books

Our friend Stuart Ng has an amazing business in the LA suburb of Torrance and recently he had ace artist Eric Canete at his show room to sign copies of Eric's incredible retrospective Encore, for attending fans.

The images Eric created at this event where so good that Stuart decided to collect some of them in this book, the result is a fascinating collection of sketches with the freshness and spontaneity unique to these circumstances but which also testify to Eric's extraordinary talent and ability.

PAUL BONNER SKETCHES

SC 44pp Black + White

Stuart Ng Books

A book from Paul is a pretty rare event, all too rare in my opinion but then work as good as Paul's takes a while to produce.

Anyway to mark his appearance at the Spectrum Live event past this summer in Kansas City, Paul teamed up with Stuart Ng to produce this book of his sketches.

If you like glowering, gloomy dwarfs peering out from under their heavy brows, or snarling demons and orcs with vicious fangs erupting from their slobbering maws then this is the book for you.

A timely arrival given Peter Jackson has just released the fist of his Hobbit films, which of course is a festival of all things fantastical and a celebration of wee folk!

And we stay in the realm of the diminutive, as we help Disney celebrate the 75th anniversary - with not one but two books - on the best movie adaptation of the Grimm boys tale, Snow White.

(Being the best adaptation of this tale might not be a huge accolade, "Snow White and the Huntsman" was completely compromised by the infamous talking mirror which had a grasp on female attractiveness about as firm as Karl Largerfeld's.

The same observation holds for "Mirror,Mirror", automatic assumptions that younger is better by the fashionistas who determine what's in or out in the world of fashion and media are just too pathetic, particularly given how wizened and wrinkly half these dried up old husks are!

Anyway, these live action films are good to look at but can't hope to match the achievement of task master Walt and his team.)

SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS

HC 256pp Color, Black + White

Weldon Owen

A through exploration, profusely illustrated, of the making of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs the original ground breaking full color animated feature film.

This fascinating book explores the production of the film, charting all the highs and lows experienced by the team as they worked to bring the project to its triumphal conclusion, with superb illustrations from every aspect of the film's production.

THE FAIREST ONE OF ALL

HC 320pp Color Black + White

Weldon Owen

While this book covers some of the territory of its predecessor it is a more comprehensive examination of the process and the cultural impact of this seminal film which ushered in the golden age of classic animation.

Again like its predecessor it features rare illustrations from the Disney archives covering film production but also designs for the movie poster and merchandising.

Finally to what must be one of the GOPs favorite comic books, featuring as it does a healthysh farther daughter relationship and their fearsome arsenal of guns!

BODYBAGS 2 THEORIES OF VIOLENCE

SC 112pp Color

12 Gauge/Image

So yes this is really a graphic novel and we generally leave these to our sister store Pulp's Comics but given this is one of those rarest of beasts a comic story by the amazing Jason Pearson, we felt it had to be offered by us.

So Panda and her Pa, Clown Face, are bounty hunters in the near future, what they lack in planning they make up for with ammo and attitude.

This second collection features the last four PC lite adventures of the farther and daughter team, including two extremely rare stories originally published by Dark Horse in black and white but recolored for this edition.

I leave you with some information, we have a brand new batch of laminates including paintings by Norman Rockwell and Frank C McCarthy and we have a restock of new printings of Kim Jung Gi's sketchbooks, both 2007 and 2011 though the supplier has made these new printings a tad more expensive than their previous incarnations.

So, if you need inspiration for original or rare gift ideas might we suggest you make a B line to Pulp's Art!

PAUL BONNER SKETCHES

SC 44pp Noir et Blanc

Stuart Ng Books

Nous venons de recevoir de nouveaux laminés incluant des peintures par Norman Rockwell et Frank C McCarthy, nous avons également reçu un réassort des sketchbooks 2007 et 2011 de Kim Jung Gi.

Eric liked his women big, in charge and on top, preferably the empowered amazons, he chose to draw, would be wielding a devise capable of administering a stinging rebuke to those who find this sort of thing degenerate and the poor saps hankering for the kinky sorts of punishment he also felt compelled to depict!

We stay back in the day but with art of a much more wholesome stripe, as we review another wonderful issue of,
