Steranko (born November 5, 1938) is an American graphic artist, comic book writer/artist, comics historian, magician, publisher and film production illustrator. His most famous comic book work was with the 1960s superspy feature "Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D." in Marvel Comics' Strange Tales and in the subsequent eponymous series. Steranko earned lasting acclaim for his innovations in sequential art during the Silver Age of Comic Books, particularly his infusion of surrealism, pop art, and graphic design into the medium. His work has been published in many countries and his influence on the field has remained strong since his comics heyday. He went on to create book covers, become a comics historian who published a pioneering two-volume history of the birth and early years of comic books, and to create conceptual art and character designs for films including Raiders of the Lost Ark and Bram Stoker's Dracula. He was inducted into the comic-book industry's Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame in 2006. Steranko also formed his own publishing company, Supergraphics, in 1969, and worked with writer-entrepreneur Byron Preiss. Steranko wrote, drew, and produced the illustrated novel Chandler: Red Tide in 1976, for Byron Preiss Visual Publications / Pyramid Books. CHANDLER was the eponymous Manhattan private detective hero of Chandler (1976), comicmeister supreme Jim Steranko's love letter to the hard-boiled private eye heroes created by Hammett, Whitfield, Gardner, Daly and of course, Chandler himself. It's got all the classic P.I. stuff you need: a 1930s hard-boiled dick is cooling his heels in his office when a guy stumbles in claiming he's been poisoned and he's got only seventy-two hours to live hours to live (shades of DOA!) and wants Chandler to find his murderer. Along the way Chandler has to deal with the usual mobsters, crooked and/or incompetent cops, a femme fatale and a snaky plot that ends with a nasty twist. So come for the story, but stay for the absolutely amazing art. One of the very first American "graphic novels " (although it's called a "visual novel" on the original cover), this black-and-white 130-page digest pulp edition originally appeared in the seventies, for like a buck or something. It'sshockinglynever been reprinted, although there were a few different versions. One was a limited edition put out by Steranko himself, and there was a double-sized newsstand edition that bore the title of Fiction Illustrated Volume 3, and came in color (I think). Those early editions are all now collectors items, wayyyyy out of my price range) but well worth the hunt. Years ago, my friend Rick lent me his copyit's simply a great and beautiful read. The cover is nothing particularly special (beyond the fact that the private eye looks suspiciously like Steranko himself), but inside? OMG, as the kids say. Fantastic artwork, all stark shadows and stabs of light, reminiscent of old RKO and Warner Bros. film noirs, and a stunningly innovative layout that added, not subtracted, to the dynamics of the story, making this one of the most visually stunning of all American graphic novels. And, as I said, one of the rarest. Out of print apparently forever, although Red Tide, a deluxe, re-mastered, colorized hardcover version has been promised/threatened for years, and was even once slotted for release by Dark horse in 1999. And then 2011. The closest they got was a 13-page "preview" in Dark Horse Comics #3 in 2011. since then? Radio silence.…
