FROM THE LIBRARY OF COMIC LEGEND DAVE GIBBONS! Well before Pearl Harbor, the population of the United States was divided over its involvement in the European conflict that would be called World War II. In the pages of many comic books, however, there was no such debate, as patriotic heroes popped up in droves to take on Europe's oppressors. And chief among the non-super-powered set of heroes was Blackhawk, a young aviator seeking vengeance on his family's killers. In the daring adventures presented in this hardcover, watch as Blackhawk brings together a multinational squad of freedom fighters, Andre, Olaf, Chuck, Stanislaus, Hendrickson, and Chop-Chop, to bring down the Nazi menace. Also included in this volume is a map of Blackhawk Island, an introduction by comics historian and writer Mark Evanier, and the music and lyrics to the unforgettable "The Song of the Blackhawks " This book is from the personal collection of legendary comic artist Dave Gibbons and features a certificate of authenticity! 228 pages.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. "Completing 'The Plot' in the last month of his life, Will Eisner, the great master of American comics, tackled what he regarded as his most powerful work. Deeply disturbed that the 'Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which purports to be the actual blueprint by Jewish leaders to take over the world, continued to be published and disseminated to millions of people around the globe, Eisner hoped that his own graphic account of this outrageous fabrication could reach a mass audience in a way that no academic work possibly could. Eisner powerfully depicts the rise of modern antisemitic thought as seen through the spread of the 'Protocols' itself." - dust jacket. "A work more disturbing than fiction from 'the father of graphic novels'." - New York Times. 148 pages. Bibliography. Index. Profusely illustrated in Eisner's inimitable style. Clean, bright, tight and unmarked with trivial wear. Dust jacket now preserved in glossy new archival-grade Brodart. An excellent example of this fascinating work.; Illustrations; 4to.

Dust Jacket condition: VF - Very Fine. After the success of The Princess and the Frog, Will Eisner continues his series of adaptations of classic tales for readers of all ages with this charming and humorous rendition of Cervantes' Don Quixote. Quixote was quite a gentleman, a man of honour and an idealist. Even though he was completely mad - seeing windmills as his enemy, and attacking them at every opportunity - it was his selflessness and gallantry that made the Man of La Mancha such a legend as retold by his faithful friend and servant Sancho Panza. 'The Last Knight' is a touching story given new edge by the beautiful colour illustrations and a unique interpretation written by a master storyteller. This copy is numbered (#134/300) and signed by Will Eisner in pencil. 32 pages. Size: 9" x 11" (220mm x 290mm). (1.5). Will Eisner (illustrator).…
