2004. Soft cover. Fine. Chavez, Mario. 2004: Large original art by peerless pin-up artist Mario Chavez.

Something of a departure for Burton, a much-acclaimed, award winning artist who passed away on December 8th, 2011. Burton had done work for a wide variety of publishers in the Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Horror and Comics fields. Cleo de Merode (Cleopatra Diane de Merode), 1873-1966, was a French ballerina born in Biarritz to parents of Austrian nobility, renowned for both her talent and her beauty. Beyond the acclaim she received for her performances, she achieved notoriety as well for the unique hair-do - depicted in this painting, which, at the age of thirteen, she chose to introduce at Paris' most prestigious ballet, the Choryhée, and for the famous romantic (and to Merode monumentally embarassing) obsession carried by the Belgian King Leopold II for her, which led to his being… Read More

Fritz Eichenberg, a German-American illustrator who was particularly prolific in the field of wood engravings such as this, often delved into quasi-Swiftian social satire as one of his preferred realms, and The Folly of Princely Court is one such example.

2000. Soft cover. Fine. Monteleone, John . circa 2000: Original painting art by internationally recognized artist John Monteleone, "Homage to Vargas". Medium: Oil on illustration board; Size approx 19x13 inches / 48x33 centimeters. Monteleone, an extremely widely-known and appreciated artist, here diverges from his more frequent subject fare to dabble in the pin-up realm. Though titled in homage to the fabled Alberto Vargas, this piece is in fact executed in Monteleone's own style, and he does indeed add something to the genre. I can almost taste this one, and it tastes like strawberry ice-cream, to me. Unsigned, but Monteleone has named the young lady being committed to the ages here: she is "Gicinni". You have to wonder where she is now. See scans. Unmatted and unframed, but, add those, then put this one front and center somewhere against a white - or black - wall. L305

Signed by Waller at the bottom in pencil. Annotations on reverse. Matted; image size itself is 13.5" x 9". 2) Dramatic splash page of a futuristic warrior holding a gun. Publication unknown to me (see scan). Signed "Karl" only in lower right corner, but that has been whited out. Not matted. Otherwise Fine, as created. 16" x 11". Annotations on reverse include his penned name and address, in his hand. L301

No place: Norm Sharp, 1940. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Fine. Folio - over 12 - 15" tall. Sharp, Norm. (no place): Norm Sharp, 1940. Spelling, "Chilpangcingo" for Chilpancingo is as presented, but that is a spelling which, though rare, has been used. Five small original watercolor illustrations by the author/artist, Norm Sharp, of this apparently unique piece grace various pages. See scans for some of these.Folio, black leather boards with gilt cover imprinting around comb-bound contents, untrimmed woven paper, unpaginated but [2] + 24 + [2}, though the 24 pages are printed only on the recto, making 12 pages (leaves). Presentation inscription by Sharp, with one of the little watercolor illustrations, on the feep, dated Christmas, 1940. An amazing item, hard to categorize with certainty. Possibly a one-off, this is either an imaginative short story occurring in dust of countryside Mexico, or, as presented...a true story; a supernatural one, at least as perceived by the author. It has a… Read More
