Scott Morse, Animation Art Director and Cartoonist of such critically acclaimed works as Volcanic Revolver and Ancient Joe, hails Chaland's storytelling as 'a legacy to behold... his line, his compositions, his dramatic lighting, his pacing... all work together to send the reader into the perfect state of wonder.' This deluxe coffee table-sized collection includes "Holidays in Budapest" and "F.52", the two final adventures of Chaland's Freddy Lombard as well as 30 pages of rare sketches, covers, and comic strips. Chaland's life and cartooning career abruptly ended at the young age of 33 years due to a fatal car accident in 1990. The Chaland Anthology Collection is a precious glimpse of Yves Chaland's timeless brilliance as a cartoonist."

Serge Clerc. NIGHTCLUBBING DESPERADOS. [SN25681X] $95

Brussels: Editions Champaka, 2006. 1st. Oblong 4to (11-13" wide), 120pp, color and b&w illustrations, hardcover pictorial boards. VF/VF. Limited to 3000 numbered copies.

"The leading light of “Métal Hurlant” when it was in its heyday and the main illustrator of the music magazine “Rock ‘n’ Folk”, Serge Clerc created single-handedly the style known as “Rock BD.” He captured with immediacy the ambience of Parisian nightclubs, populating his images with impossibly beautiful creatures teetering on impossibly high heels. As José-Louis Bocquet’s text demonstrates, “Nightclubbing Desperados” is conceived not just as a collection of superb illustrations, but as a portrait of the early ’eighties by someone who lived them. As the missing link between the classicism of the group known as the “Marcinelle school” and the modernity of the “Métal Hurlant” group, Serge Clerc was the originator of “Rock BD.” For over a decade he was to be an outstanding illustrator for both “Rock ‘n’ Folk” and “New Musical Express.” He moved in the same circle as The Clash, The Cramps, and The Police. His was a familiar face in the famous late-night haunts of Paris, London, Brussels and New York. Somehow, in between the thudding bass rhythms and the peroxide blondes, he managed to find time to draw. Of all the acclaimed illustrators of the ’eighties, Serge Clerc is undoubtedly the one who was most in touch with his times. His aesthetic sense was matched by his graphic talents, and this fusion gave expression to a unique and identifiable style that was to find favour with the French public in particular. The deceptive simplicity of his style and the pleasing geometry of his compositions would, over a short period of time, inspire an entire generation of artists; so much so, in fact, that it’s not unusual to come across examples of his work, shamelessly copied by anonymous drones."

Seattle: Fantagraphics, 2007. 1st. Oblong 8vo (8-9" wide), 104pp, b&w, softcover color wraps. VF.

"Having mastered comic books and gag cartoons, in 1958, nearly two decades after he unveiled Plastic Man to the world, Jack Cole set his sights on the cartoonist's pot of gold - a syndicated newspaper strip. He hit the bull's-eye with Betsy and Me, a breezy domestic farce focusing on a middle-class urban couple and their smart-aleck genius son. Cole stripped his style down to its bare essentials, creating a strip that sparkles with economy, wit, and charm. What gave the strip its edge, however, was Cole's innovative storytelling, which utilized ironic tension between protagonist Chet Tibbit's words and actions to reveal him as fatuous and delusional. Betsy and Me was an instant success and newspapers were lining up to buy it. Then, with only two-and-a-half months' worth of strips completed, Cole purchased a .22 caliber pistol and ended his life. R.C. Harvey's insightful introduction serves as a biographical sketch and sheds light on the circumstances surrounding Cole's suicide."

"In the rarefied realm of classic cartoon pin-up art, nobody did it better than Jack Cole. With his quirky line drawings and sensual watercolors, Cole, under Hugh Hefner's guiding hand, catapulted to stardom in the 1950s as Playboy's marquee cartoonist, a position he held until his untimely death at the age of 43. Jack Cole has been justly celebrated as the creator of Plastic Man and an innovative comic book artist of the 1940s. Most of these drawings have not seen print in more than 50 years; taken together, they provide a rare glimpse into the singular artistry of Jack Cole."

"Cole's goddesses were estrogen soufflés who mesmerized the ineffectual saps who lusted after them." – The New Yorker

One of 300 numbered copies with a tipped-in color exhibition postcard drawn, designed, numbered, signed and dated 2003 by the artist .

"Paintings & Drawings of Mostly Pillowy Girls." A catalog for a gallery exhibition of Cooper's painting. "Subtitled "Paintings & Drawings of Mostly Pillowy Girls," OVERBITE is a hardcover art book featuring over 40 of Cooper's gorgeous oil paintings, each focusing on the female form. Cooper's vibrant use of color in the lavish, textured rendering he uses to depict his favored body type - "pillowy" is a particularly apt descriptive - calls to mind a more colorful and surreal version of R. Crumb's obsessive and sumptuous portraits of women. This book also doubles as the sixth "issue" of Cooper's ongoing comic book series, WEASEL, though as a stand-alone hardcover art book it bears little relation to the first five issues; it functions much better as a catalog for recent and upcoming exhibitions of Cooper's in Philadelphia, Ottawa, Los Angeles and San Francisco. The book features an introduction by DAVID CROSS, of HBO's MR. SHOW fame."

Dave Cooper. TITMOUSE VOL. 1. [SN29069X] $25

np: privately printed, 2010. 1st. 4to (11-13"), 100 pages, color illustrations, hardcover pictorial boards. VF.

"Titmouse Vol. 1 is not a cartoon. It is also not a comic book, not a magazine, and it’s not a book - it’s a MOOK, a magazine-book. Like Sushi, MOOK is an addictive Japanese concept that will take the world by storm. It also goes great with saké, with a significantly lower risk of succumbing to the paralyzing effects of mercury poisoning.

"It’s like the cartoons we make, but in the form of a hardcover book printed on fancy paper! Dave Cooper, Andy Suriano, Jon Schnepp, and Travis Millard are just a few of the 17 artists featured in this first issue. Volume 1 is packed with comics, an interview with Dave Cooper and features Flatulene [a comic book story] by Dave Johnson.

"We have assembled a team of weirdo artist-types to create this 100 page hardcover anthology and printed it in full color on fancy paper featuring comic strips, paintings, and interviews from some of the art world’s most interesting individuals. It’s 1/3 Heavy Metal, 1/3 Mad Magazine, 1/3 Juxtapoz, and 1/3 Ralph Bakshi film-on-paper, fancy paper.

"You might ask yourself or a friend, why cartoon company want make book? Chief editor and studio president, Chris Prynoski said, “I wanted to make this book, because I wanted to read a book like this, and that’s why I wanted to make it.” Art Director, Antonio Canobbio, is French--so you know the stuff in Titmouse vol. 1 is real art!

"Titmouse vol. 1 features artists of comic book and animation fame including: Tommy Blacha, Freddy Christy, Dave Cooper, Steven Daily, Jacob Escobedo, Dave Fremont, Kaori Hamura, Paul Harmon, Dave Johnson, Kelsey Mann, Richard Mather, Travis Millard, Israel Sanchez, Jon Schnepp, Andy Suriano, and Otto Tang.

Seattle: Fantagraphics, 2005. 1st. Square 4to (11-13"), 44pp, color illustrations, hardcover pictorial boards. VF.

"Additional Observations on the beauty/ugliness of Mostly Pillowy Girls." A second collection of Cooper's gallery paintings & drawings. "A collection of luscious oil paintings in tribute to pillowy female forms. Subtitled "Additional Observations on the Beauty/Ugliness of Mostly Pillowy Girls," Underbelly is a hardcover art book featuring over 50 of Cooper’s luminescent oil paintings and lush drawings, each focusing on the female form. Underbelly is the follow-up to Cooper’s acclaimed first book of paintings, Overbite. Since the success (and immediate sell out) of Overbite, Cooper has been producing new work at a fevered pitch for gallery shows and patrons alike. Although much of the work in Underbelly appears to have slithered out of a similar same place as Overbite, this latest batch has a decidedly darker and more urban flavor."

Kyle Cooper. Codrington, Andreas. KYLE COOPER (MONOGRAPHICS). [SN25767] $20

Includes storyboard sequences and shot-by-shot dissections of the designer's best title sequences.
From the flap: "Kyle Cooper is acclaimed as the most innovative and important designer of film titles since Saul Bass. This attractive and informative book offers the first critical and historical assessment of Cooper's impressive design achievements. In this book, Andrea Codrington relates that Cooper's work first garnered major attention in 1995 with his creation of the extraordinary title sequence for the horror thriller seven, which is credited with bringing about a renaissance in innovative film title design. Seven's titles were touted as short films in their own right-not merely a "design solution" but a metaphorical representation of the film as a whole. Codrington also discusses Cooper's work at the titles specialist R/Greenberg before he founded in 1996 his own Los Angeles based company, Imaginary Forces. As creative director there, Cooper now oversees a ninety-person team and has designed a stunning succession of highly regarded titles for such films as Eraser, Mission Impossible, Twister, The Mummy, The Horse Whisperer, The Negotiator, and Arlington Road. Kyle Cooper is essential reading for anyone engaged with graphic design, film, and visual communication."
