People always ask me, “How do I get started in animation?” Now I know the answer…read the Character Animation Crash Course book by Eric Goldberg!” John Lasseter – Chief Creative Officer, Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Studios “This exhaustive “animation crash course” comes from one of the best and most original of animators working today, Eric Goldberg.

"The first volume of the Official reprinting of Harold Gray’s classic Little Orphan Annie - one of the greatest comic strips of all time, brimming with vivid characters, exciting stories, and emotional power - lovingly reproduced from Gray’s personal archives and files!" 52 Sundays & 312 dailies in black and white.

This Fantagraphics series is the only reprinting to include the Little Orphan Annie Sundays (Arf!, Cupples and Leon, Dover, and IDW only reprint dailies). From the introduction: "In this volume, reprinting the entire year of 1932, we find what is probably the last fine-tuning Harold Gray ever did with his characters’ personalities and the premises of the strip. Annie became no less a mythic figure than Warbucks, but radically different from that which was originally assigned her by Gray and the publisher Captain Patterson. In the beginning she was vulnerable on three counts: she was a girl, she was young, and she was an orphan. By 1932 these traits were not only softening, but they were becoming irrelevant.”
Harold Gray. LITTLE ORPHAN ANNIE VOL. 3: 1933. [SN25330] $30 Seattle: Fantagraphics, 1991. 1st. Oblong 4to (11-13" wide), viii, 157pp, b&w, wraps. NF (light shelf wear). An entire year of strips. Both dailies AND Sundays. This Fantagraphics series is the only reprinting to include the Little Orphan Annie Sundays (Arf!, Cupples and Leon, Dover, and IDW only reprint dailies). From the introduction: “When Franklin D. Roosevelt took office on March 4, 1933 (a few months after the strips in this volume began their initial fun), the stage was set for a confrontation between Gray’s conservatism and FDR’s New Deal philosophy. Oddly enough, Little Orphan Annie would reach the zenith of its popularity during the Depression ‘30s. “Odd” because it was FDR’s decade, the age of the man who gave government a social conscience. And FDR’s mission ran in directions diametrically opposed to Gray’s ideas. Under Roosevelt’s tutelage, the downtrodden and the poor, the halt and the lame were encouraged to look to government for help rather than exhorted to help themselves by working hard and exercising diligently the principles of free enterprise. Gray’s message was precisely the opposite - although it was as much an accident of this story as it was a matter of political opinion.”

Both dailies AND Sundays. This Fantagraphics series is the only reprinting to include the Little Orphan Annie Sundays (Arf!, Cupples and Leon, Dover, and IDW only reprint dailies). From the introduction: But revenge, when it comes, is sweet: Warbucks is vindicated on every side. However, he is still a pauper. Once again, Harold Gray must arrange for his hero to wrest a fortune from a hostile world. And Warbucks, the quintessential self-made man, the capitalist champion, must do it wholly on his own. In the events related during the closing months of 1934, Little Orphan Annie takes an almost imperceptible turn towards the kind of political advocacy for which Gray has been both canonized and castigated - arch-conservatism. Warbucks behavior is perfectly logical in the context of the strip’s world and the history of its characters, but the logic would eventually drive Gray into direct confrontation with Roosevelt and his men…"

Rick Griffin's poster art for seminal psychedelic era rock concerts is the stuff of legend, simultaneously his illustration work for surf magazines and cartoons for underground comics have arguably had equal impact in their respective genres. Less well known, but equally compelling is the impressive body of work Griffin created as a born again Christian starting in the early 1970's up until his untimely death in 1991. This fascinating book includes in-depth essays by Doug Harvey and Greg Escalante a foreword by Bolton Colburn, an interview with Chuck Fromm and further writing about Griffin by Chaz Bojorquez, Gordon McClelland and Jacaeber Kastor."

March 31, 2004, Rome, Italy), created stylish graphics and elegant, sophisticated ads for high-fashion houses and magazines. With his works that suggested an inspired melding of Japanese drawing and Toulouse-Lautrec posters, Gruau, who was self-taught, formed a bridge between the celebrated French poster tradition and modern advertising.
