Claire Wendling. DESK. [SN26577X] $20  

Torrance: Stuart Ng Books, 2006. 1st. Sq 8vo, 64pp, monochrome, softcover wraps. VF.

A pure sketchbook: 64 pages of pencil drawings of imaginary monsters and real animals. Horned beasts, lions, horses, wolves, foxes, etc.

These drawings were created between 1996 and 1998. Most were drawn in Los Angeles during her off-hours from the WB studio. They have never been published in any other book. They do not appear in Iguana Bay 2.0 or Drawers 2.0. Redrawn versions of a few drawings appear in Drawers 2.0 pages 108-111. 

In addition to the same production values and high quality reproduction of the French edition are several exclusives to this English-language edition: three previously unpublished drawings, an insightful biography featuring new quotes from the artist, a new Foreword by Mike Mignola, and tributes from other artists.

Bordeaux: le Cycliste, 2005. Revised 2nd. 4to (11-13”), 144pp, over 650 color illustrations, hardcover pictorial boards. VF without dust-jacket as issued.

This is a revised and expanded edition of Drawers originally published in January 2001. With over 400 new images, this is an essential volume whether or not you have the original edition. This is the only career overview of this phenomenal artist covering her work in comic books, animation, film, and commercial illustration. Also well represented are her personal drawings not meant for publication. Most of the personal drawings that appeared in the original edition have been replaced with new versions by Claire (à la Iguana Bay 2.0). Very little, if any, overlap with Desk or Iguana Bay.

This beautifully designed slip cased edition of Sky Doll contains special editions of Sky Doll Tomes 1 & 2 plus a bonus soft cover "Sky Doll Catalogue," all in a slip case originally designed to also hold Tome 3. (It was originally planned for this item to be released with volume 3 included, but due to the long and unforeseen delay of volume 3, this item was finally released without it.)

The "Sky Doll Catalogue" is a full-color 28-page book fully illustrated & designed by Claire Wendling. The slip case is specially illustrated and embossed. Strictly limited to 1000 copies. Text in French. This item sold out quickly and is long out of print. The Claire Wendling booklet was never made available separately.

We have included a separate 2006 edition of Soleil Sky Doll Tome 3, the long-awaited third volume, to complete the set.
