"I was thinking about PS Artbooks just yesterday. Strange v1, Black Terror v2 and Fight/Tiger Girl v2 are three volumes are three volumes I know to have shipped that my LCS never received. I've been looking for an excuse to pare PS Artbooks off my…"
"I just ordered Golden Age Black Cat Vols. 1-3 from Bud's Art Books. I didn't see them for sale at either InStockTrades or Westfield, so I'm wondering if those outlets don't carry PS Artbooks any more. The timing with tariffs can't be ignored. Since…"
"Did some follow-up today...
"ART OF..." BOOKS:
Fantastic Four - Already published, still available. I'll have mine whenever PRH gets around to shipping it (in a week or two, I imagine).
Thor - No FOC (which means it hasn't yet been solicited). I let…"

"I'm not too worried about missing Marvel or DC or IDW solicits because those publishers release their own monthly catalogs; it's the more esotheric stuff (such as "Bullpen Books") from publishers such as Dark Horse or Hermes Press or Fantagraphics…"
"This is exactly what I was afraid was going to happen in the absence of Diamond Distributors (specifically, their Previews catalog).
That's the main reason I've started posting PR instead of holding it. Maybe a little advance warning will be…"

"The Art of Spider-Man was one of my favorite books of 2024.
Seriously, if you've never seen an IDW "Artist's Edition" (or found them too pricey), Dark Horse's "Bullpen Books" series is like those, slightly smaller, but at a mere fraction of the…"

"Caveat: I strongly suspect this volume will be b&w like all the others. When Russ Cochran was releasing those beautiful slipcase editions back in the '90s, they were in b&w, too, but he made an exception for MAD and released it in color. This…"
"I haven't been buying these, because I already have the EC books collected by series. But I'll get this one. I have two volumes of Panic that I haven't been able to wade through, so this is a short-cut to the good stuff!"
""My Gun Is the Jury" sounds like current news."

The often-overlooked parodies by Mad artists Jack Davis and Wallace Wood — their complete Panic stories!

"Specifically, of the 17 stories in the book, 13 of them were written and drawn solely by Barks. The remianing four were by Carl Barks (script and layouts) and Daan Jippes (pencils and inks). FWIW, my eye cannot discern the difference between the…"
"I get the impression that some of the later stories were laid out and written by Barks and that all of them were written by him. If he wrote them all, that's good enough for me."
"My poor brain read this as "I've ordered 29 volumes", and I was like, "Why would he want so many?'"
"I've ordered Vol. 29 from InStockTrades. I'm curious, those of you who have your copies. Are these maybe only PARTLY Barks? That's the only thing I can think of that would have prevented them from being part of the Library from the get-go. And I'm…"
"I arrived at my LCS today to find v29 waiting for me in my file because "Carl Barks Library" is on my p&h list. That's the way it is supposed to work, but I have gotten into the habit of doubling down and also ordering each individual volume of…"
"I just went to the Fantagraphics website. A search for Carl Barks shows the two additional volumes.
I wonder if your LCS guy knew about this. I'm going ahead with ordering them both."

Thank you Mr. Dunbar.
Hello John. Thank you for the invitation for friendship. What comic books are you reading?
Hello John,
I may be out of line here but in regards with your exchange with Mark, we both know how he feels about Marvel now. We've both know that his opinion has not and probably will not change though I hope it does. Despite previous advice, I have no doubt that he will continue to comment on how "evil" the Marvel heroes are whenever he can.
However, he has had some medical problems and he has left here before thinking no one wants him here. That's something that I am hoping to avoid. I'm not blaming you for ANYTHING, let me make that clear. I am only trying to prevent another round of the same debate that apparently caused hard feelings before.
You won't change his mind and challenging him about it will only make him defensive, as past interactions show us. If steered clear from the topic of Marvel's Post-Civil War period, he seems happier.
Anyway, that's my two cents. Again I'm not faulting you at all. Merely trying to keep the peace, as they say.
With all respect and best wishes,
Philip
thanks for the invite!
