Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - From their inception in 1935, comic books -- starring Superman, Batman, Captain Marvel -- had been primarily written for and aimed at adolescents. There were always the occasional outlier artists who pushed back against the commercial constraints of comic books and envisioned the next evolutionary artistic leap in the artform: Charles Biro was one of those artists. In 1949, the ambitious Biro -- who had previously co-created the realistically brutal comic Crime Does Not Pay -- edited and wrote an oversized comic aimed at adults, called Tops. Like several other radical adult comics projects that would follow, it proved to be a commercial failure and lasted only two Life magazine-sized issues. The original comics have since become a legendary holy grail among comics fans and historians, fetching as much as $6,000 on the collector's market: written about but rarely seen and never reprinted. Until now. Fantagraphics' Tops collects both issues of these oversized experimental comics in their entirety. Some of the best craftsmen working in comics at that time drew these pulpy, sexy, and melodramatic stories: Dan Barry, George Tuska, and others. It includes two stunning pre-EC crime tales illustrated by Reed Crandall, reminiscent of his Crime SuspenStories work. Actor Melvyn Douglas (believe it or not) takes the reader on a tour of utopia, entitled 'How Would You Live Under A World Government ' -- a positive spin on global Socialism! A treasure trove of fascinating and revelatory comics history for scholars and fans, this compilation includes an introduction by the editor, the historian and cartoonist Michael T. Gilbert, as well as several other essays providing background on the creation of the series and the publisher, editors, and cartoonists who realized it. It includes a chronicle in essay form of experimental, adult comics endeavors throughout the first half of the 20th century. Tops is a landmark work of historical importance and a mind-boggling reading experience from a bygone era meticulously restored and reproduced in a deluxe hardcover in its originally published dimensions.…

Four vintage studio still photographs from the 1936 film, one of Charles Laughton in the lead as artist Rembrandt van Rijn and three of Gertrude Lawrence as Rembrandt's lover Geertje Dircx. In 1933, 3 years prior to "Rembrandt," director Alexander Korda and Charles Laughton made "The Private Life of Henry VIII" firmly establishing Korda as a director of note and Laughton as a star. While "Rembrandt" would not garner the same box office success as "The Private Life of Henry VIII," it was a critical success and features a compelling performance by Laughton in the lead role. An unconventional approach to a biopic, Korda's "Rembrandt" breaks the life of the painter into to 3 distinct periods. 1642, at the peak of his fame when his beloved wife Saskia suddenly dies and he unveils his most ambitious painting the 12' x 16' "The Night Watch" to a scandalous reception (though not historically accurate it does assist the narrative in this riches to rags story). 1656, with the painter bankrupt but happy, having ended his affair with his son's nurse Geertje (Gertrude Lawrence) and fallen in love with the housemaid Hendrickje Stoffels, played by Laughton's wife Elsa Lanchester. Finally 1669, Rembrandt is at the end of his life, physically enfeebled and impoverished, but wizened, undiminished and undaunted. 8 x 10 inches. Very Good plus, overall. Some light creasing primarily to edges and some light rubbing. One open tear on bottom left of Laughton photograph. Criterion Collection Eclipse Series 16.…
