GOING BUT NOT GONE, SO WHY NOT COME ON IN?

Hello readers, not so many of these missives from me to go but before they do let me tell you why it's still a good idea to drop in on our unique book store.

So, right there there's the fact we are unique, other book shops may carry some of the titles we do but only we carry such an extensive selection of self published art books and sketch books, as well as the best in gaming, animation and comic art and on top of that we've historical, animal, aviation, military and Western - as in the old American frontier - art.

Also, there is the chance to pick up some real bargains, not beaten up scrappy old books but good as new top titles, reduced because we were a tad too enthusiastic in our ordering, a bit like our expectations for the store, doh!

Anyway, don't think I'm sitting here crying into my beer feeling low, that's not how we do it where I'm from, so just drop in to bid me adieu and to grab a bargain before we're but a bitter sweet memory.

BREAKING BAD NEWS!

Hello readers, it's with regret that I write Pulp's Art will change in the weeks ahead and will eventually close its doors permanently.

I think we gave it a good go but in the final analysis there isn't sufficient support to warrant the use of resources this book shop requires, so I'll be leaving towards the end of July and I imagine shortly after that the focus of the shop will be changing.

I'm grateful to have had this opportunity in retailing and pleased that in our two and a bit years of being open Pulp's Art has sold some beautiful books to some nice people. Thanks to all of you who bought a book here or said something complimentary about the store, your patronage was greatly appreciated by me.

Pulp's Comics will continue to make the best in artist's sketchbooks and self published art books available ; before closing Pulp's Art will be discounting most of the stock in the shop, offering some really great bargains on some very good books, so come on in to hear the Fat Lady singing!

NEW AT PULP'S ART JUNE 26

Hello readers, so what's arrived this week, well Art of World War Z didn't! Yeah our supplier's minions confused it with War Machine, I could make some pun about zombies getting the last word or moan but in fairness they generally do a terrific job so I'll forgo the cheap laugh.

Anyway check this out,

NEW PRICING ON KIM JUNG GI'S SKETCHBOOKS!

Hello readers, I've been vexed for some time about the pricing of Kim's books and had discussed with our supplier, Kim's European agent, the whole issue.

Well finally we have an understanding, in fairness to Kim's agent, Kim is setting the prices with little regard for the needs of a bricks and mortar book store, or international freight costs.
What this means is our in store price has come down to reflect the agent's obligation to respect Kim's demands.

So, it's not so good for us given our original pricing was the standard margin a French book store would make selling books from a domestic supplier but then these are unique books from a unique talent so it's great news for you, the consumer!

Now, I know there's a new book from Kim and yes this will be available from Pulp's Art in the near future, watch this space!

MAN OF STEEL!

Hello readers, Warner and DC have a lot riding on the latest adaptation of Superman's origins and happily initial reports would suggest they've conjured up a winner, courtesy of the fan's dream director/producer team of Zack -300- Snyder and Christopher -Dark Knight- Nolan.

This great looking book, showcases the amazing production design for this lavish production, which synthesized the Superhero and SF mediums into an epic spectacle.

NEW AT PULP'S ART JUNE 19

Hello readers, well Star Trek Into Darkness proved to be cracking entertainment, one hopes that the whit, energy and entertainment JJ Abrams and his team brought to this grand daddy of SF franchises can last through to their endeavours to rejuvenate Star Wars.

And so to this week's new books and it was only a couple of week's back we announced a great looking new art book for a terrific new game and yet here's another,

ART OF THE LAST OF US

HC 184pp Color Black + White

Dark Horse

The new game from the mischievous mutts at Naughty Dog studio sees a pandemic having broken out across the globe and it's turning people into decidedly unmagical mushrooms, terrifying fanged fungi mutants in fact. You'll play this game as a couple - comprising of a middle aged man, Joel and a young women, Ellie - needing to traverse an even more ravaged and paranoid USA than normal in the hope of locating sanctuary.

Dark Horse have already brought you gorgeous game art books for Mass Effect, Remember Me, Bioshock and Dragon Age and this book is right up there with the best of them for its quality of images and design, which combines aspects of The Road, Mad Max and Resident Evil, from what will clearly be a terrifying and compelling gaming experience.

OK we stick with a ravaged and plagued world with,

WALKING DEAD POSTER COLLECTION

HC 40pp Color

Insight Editions

40 large poster sized pages can easily be taken from this book and placed where ever you need an image to scare the dickens out of your self and fellow Zombie/Walker fans.

All the principal characters are featured from the first 3 series of the hit TV show, based upon the top selling comic book series, Walking Dead and there are some promo posters to round out the package.

(NB. We have a similar collection for the excellent Game of Thrones series.)

Last but no means the least of the arrivals is the latest collection of,

FLASH GORDON THE FALL OF MING

HC 200pp Color

Titan Books

The latest in the to be comprehensive reprinting of Alex Raymond's SF masterpiece covers the years 1941-44, when these classic stories must have served as a welcome distraction from the suffering of WWII.

Flash, Dale and Doctor Zhivago - wasn't it - are still stuck on the planet Mongo, where Emperor Ming is still being merciless!

Finally the fear of the leak we experienced a few weeks back is gone and we're returning books to those shelves but in a departure from before, we're having two new sections, our copublished Trinquétte books and a selection of bargin books, the latter being great books but now at great prices.

Tune in next week, when I hope to announce the arrival of John Byrne's Fantastic Four Artist's Edition!
