Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. 58 p. Charmingly illustrated. Text in English and Pennsylvania-Dutch. 8vo. Color printed stiff wraps. First Edition. AS NEW. Wilhelm Busch (1832-1908) was a beloved German author, poet, painter, and cartoonist. His greatest ambition was to emulate the Dutch and Flemish masters - Rubens, Hals, Etc. Instead, he "stumbled into immortality", as the first German Federal President, Theodor Heuss, once put it, through a few caricatures he was asked to do for the satirical magazine "Fliegende Blaetter" that was founded in Munich in 1848. He soon started to add his own humorous verses, and his cartoons became longer and more elaborate. ** He can be regarded as the Father of the Modern Comic Strip, and wherever an Englishman would quote Lewis Carroll's "Alice", a German is likely to quote Busch. Although famous in his later years, he lived quite withdrawn and despised the fuss he thought was made about him. This is his classic work, rendered into the Pennsylvania-Dutch dialect by the great German-American poet John Birmelin (1873-1950). An entertaining way to learn the dialect spoken by Amish, Mennonites, and others to this day. We are the U.S. distributors of the English and Pennsylvania Dutch edition.

Vintage reference photograph of John Carpenter on the set of the 1988 film. Based on the 1963 short story "Eight O'Clock in the Morning" by Ray Nelson. John Nada (professional wrestler Roddy Piper) discovers a pair of sunglasses that reveal the culture is being ruled by aliens, who conceal their appearance and condition people, to consume, breed, work, and "obey." A cult favorite whose influence continues to ripple through the culture and counterculture, maybe most notably in the work of artist Shepard Fairey, whose "Obey" silkscreens (openly acknowledged to have been appropriated from the movie) have appeared on everything from street art to skateboards to clothing. Shot on location in Los Angeles, California. 8 x 10 inches. Near Fine.
