The Complete Web of Horror

 Web of Horror only lasted for three issues, but what a run it was. The black and white horror comic magazine featured the talents of Bernie Wrightson, Jeff Jones, Mike Kaluta, Frank Brunner, Ralph Reese and others.

Stories from these issues have been reprinted across various books collecting the work of the individual artists or later horror comic anthologies. But here is the chance to own a hardcover collection of all three issues PLUS previously unpublished stories from the never published issue #4 and stories destined for the magazine that saw print elsewhere.

There's also informative introductions and historical material.

AND if you pledge $100 (all the money going to pay royalties to the creators and their estates) you get the hardcover book, a slipcase, a bookplate signed by Mike Kaluta, and a set of Web of Horror bookmarks. For a $30 pledge you can get a set of Web of Horror postcards.

The book will be published by Fantagraphics, but only if the money can be raised to pay the royalties. As of this writing there's only seven left of the package that includes the book. Please pledge to this worthwhile project now! Pledge at the link below.

UPDATE: Goal has been met and all books with slipcases and signed bookplate have been sold. Some postcard sets still available. You will be able to purchase the regular book from Fantagraphics in 2023.

Frank Brunner's Alice in Wonderland



Frank Brunner's Alice in Wonderland portfolio was released in 1977 in a signed, limited edition of 1000. It used to be pretty hard to find on the second-hand market, nowadays you see them around. Please don't look at the images below if you have a problem with black and white drawings of early 1970's Playboy type nudity.

1971 Comic Art Convention Art Portfolio

I recently picked up a copy of the 1971 Comic Art Convention program. In addition to a transcript of Bill Everett and Joe Kubert being interviewed by Gil Kane and Neal Adams it contains a small portfolio with some good art (and some bad art). Below is the good art. Other guests at the convention included Jim Steranko, Gardner Fox, and James Warren.

ACBA Sketchbook, 1975

The ACBA (Academy of Comic Book Artists) is a professional organization founded in 1970. The ACBA functioned as an honorary society, presenting Shazam awards for outstanding comic book work from 1970-1975. The Academy has also worked for increased rights for comic book creators, particularly around the return of original art to the artist. The ACBA published several sketchbooks as fundraising tools. Below are some what I feel are some of the better pieces from the 1975 sketchbook. Read a review of the 1973 edition at Ink Destroyed My Brush.
