ILLUSTRATORS SPECIAL HC (2025)
You'd better bathe in garlic, grab a crucifix and wrap up warm, for this most spooktacular, edition of illustrators. This 200 page festival of fright delves into the darkest recesses of EC lore with an in-depth look at the life of the most reclusive of the EC gang-as EC scholar Grant Geissman describes Graham Ingels-'Mr Horror Himself.' Further light is shed by the reminiscences of fan and fellow EC scholar Don Vaughan as well as Ann Tyler, who attended Ingels classes during the period when he was tutoring painters. For Warren fans (and we know there are many of you out there) we have a contribution from J. David Spurlock, in a feature about Basil and David's friendship with the great man. And from the UK we have Shane Oakley. Once seen, never forgotten-that's Shane's art in a nutshell. Grab yourself a copy of the Illustrators Halloween Spooktacular, plump up your coffin pillow, shake out the worms and maggots from your shroud, and snuggle down for the ultimate fright-fest!
This is your chance ever to own part of history as we delve into Prince Valiant, the greatest comics strip created by Hal Foster, explore its origin, the coloring process and showcase samples from original artwork and the color proofs, many scanned at their actual size. We also feature all the artists that followed Foster from John Cullen Murphy to Gary Gianni and the current artist Thomas Yeates, with samples of their work scanned from their original artboards. In addition we interview Cullen Murphy who wrote the script for many years after Foster retired, Meg Nash who colored the strip from 1991 until her father John Cullen Murphy retired in 2004, Mark Schultz the current writer, and Scott Roberts the colorist since 2004. Limited to 1,000 copies.
