FIGHTING FANTASY GAMEBOOK OUT OF PRINT. HARD TO FIND COLLECTOR'S ITEM.
Product Description
The once-peaceful world of Orb is in terrible danger. Dark forces are at work to unleash the awesome might of the Evil One - and only YOU can stop them.
YOUR mission is to destroy the Talisman of Death before the Dark Lord's minions reach you. But beware! Time is running out...
Talisman of Death is a single-player roleplaying gamebook written by Jamie Thomson and Mark Smith, illustrated by Bob Harvey and originally published in 1984 by Puffin Books. It forms part of Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone's Fighting Fantasy series. It is the 11th in the series in the original Puffin series (ISBN 0-14-031859-3)
Unlike most other Fighting Fantasy books, the reader is in fact an ordinary person from Earth, drawn into the world of Orb by the will of the gods. In this book the player is given the task of protecting the Talisman of Death. The player must find a way of returning to their own world with the Talisman, thus depriving the god Death of the Talisman forever Talisman of Death is the only Fighting Fantasy gamebook set in the fantasy world of Orb, a creation of Thomson and Smith, although this world is also used as a setting for their Way of the Tiger series of gamebooks. The majority of the story is spent in the town "Greyguilds-on-the-moor". Characters that appear in Talisman of Death, such as Tyutchev, Cassandra, and Thaum also appear in the Way of the Tiger series. Also, Bob Harvey reprises his role as the illustrator of the series.

Paperback Publisher: Peacock Press / Bantam Books (1977 2nd printing) Frank Frazetta (born 1928) is an American fantasy and science fiction artist. He is one of the most emulated artists of these genres in the world. His cover for the sword-and-sorcery collection Conan the Adventurer by Robert E. Howard and L. Sprague de Camp (Lancer 1966) caused a sensation—numerous people bought the book for its cover alone. This interpretation of Conan essentially redefined the genre of Sword and Sorcery visually and had an enormous influence on succeeding generations of artists. From this point on, Frazetta's work was in great demand. During this period he also did covers for other paperback editions of classic Edgar Rice Burroughs books, such as those from the Tarzan and Barsoom (John Carter of Mars) series. He also did several pen and ink illustrations for many of these books.
* Featuring mostly colour reproductions of many of the famous paintings by probably the best fantasy artist ever. * Included are many paintings which were featured on the covers of the WARREN horror magazines CREEPY, EERIE and VAMPIRELLA, and also on the paperback versions of the Robert E. Howard CONAN books.
Frazetta's work has graced album covers and book jackets. In this second volume you'll see some of his finest. His techniques for drawing your attention to primary and secondary points of interest in his works are done beautifully like a photographer uses light. His works are lush and sensual, celebrating the human anatomy like the ancient Greeks. The facial expressions of his subjects convey intensity, strength, and will. You can actually feel the energy jumping out at you.

BOOKS OF MAGIC - NEIL GAIMAN, JOHN BOLTON and PAUL JOHNSON 3 GRAPHIC NOVELS/ILLUSTRATED BOOKS (1990)

HARD TO FIND COLLECTOR'S ITEM BY NEIL GAIMAN .
ONE OF GAIMAN'S EARLIEST WORKS FOR DC COMICS, FOLLOWING HIS ACCLAIMED GRAPHIC NOVEL SERIES SANDMAN.
Published by DC Comics.
This is the hard to find first printings of the original BOOKS OF MAGIC with full color lavishly painted illustrations.
This is the RARE original 1990 published version of Gaiman's BOOKS OF MAGIC, and was never sold in any mass market retail outlets. It was only available to purchase through comic book specialty shops.
Written by NEIL GAIMAN (Sandman, Coraline, Neverwhere, American Gods, Books of Magic, Black Orchid, Miracleman).
This squarebound book is in brand new condition and measures approx 6.5" x 10" inches, and is printed on high quality paper to enhance the delicate and beautifully painted artwork.
Book Description From one of the most highly recognised and award winning comic writers on the scene today, Neil Gaiman (Sandman, Death, Violent Cases), and his collaborator, innovative artist Paul Johnson, comes a haunting and stylish exploration of a young boy taken on a journey through time to discover his magical destiny. Timothy Hunter is just like any other thirteen-year-old boy in London . . . except for the tiny fact that he might be the most powerful magician of his time.
A quartet of fallen mystics dubbed the "Trench Coat Brigade" is introduced in this first collection of the adventures of Timothy Hunter. John Constanine, the Phantom Stranger, Dr. Occult and Mister E take Hunter on a tour of the magical realms. Along the way he's introduced to the greatest practitioners of magic and must choose whether or not to join their ranks.
Long before Harry Potter went to Hogwarts, a young English lad in glasses learned of magic from the pen of Neil Gaiman.
Timothy Hunter, a fairly typical, aimless 12-year-old boy, meets a quartet of mysterious, powerful men who show him worlds beyond understanding. Possibly destined to be the greatest magician of his age, Tim is exposed to wonders and possibilities, alternate realities and the end of all existence.
His guides on the journey are the so-called "trenchcoat brigade" -- the Phantom Stranger, Dr. Occult, John "Hellblazer" Constantine and the sightless Mister E -- although other magical luminaries, from Dr. Fate to Zatanna, will chime in from time to time. His adventures take him from Faerie to Hell and many dimensions in between, from the start of time to the final curtain. He'll see the beauty and ugliness of magic, discover the power of names and the consequences of gifts. He'll meet Death before his time, and he'll learn a little bit more about trust and betrayal. The Books of Magic is still a delightful, eye-opening story about magical potential. Gaiman, who was already deep into his Sandman mythos by this time, unleashed a new force on the world of comics with this book, which quickly became a successful, ongoing Vertigo series.

The Epic tale of a wandering Samurai and his son. By Kazuo Koike and Goseki Kojima.
With an introduction written by FRANK MILLER (SIN CITY, 300, BATMAN THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS)
AKA KNOWN AS THE BABY-CART ASSASSIN!
Itto Ogami was once the official executioner for a Japanese shogun. This was a position of extreme power and was coveted by all, especially the Yagyu clan. This scheming family framed Ogami for treason, toppling him from his position, and throwing him into a state of dishonor. When ordered to commit ritual suicide (seppuku), Ogami fought back, killing all present. The Yagyu clan retaliated by killing Ogami’s wife.
Ogami now wanders throughout Japan with his infant son, Daigoro, always plotting to return and exact his revenge. Uniquely, Ogami is often forced to fight with his son strapped to his back.

Published by Marvel Comics in 1995.
The world has forgotten its more historical foes. One of them is the Skrull—a race of aliens with the power to shapeshift. A force of undercover Skrull agents have come to take over the Earth. They infect a hamburger chain with an alien virus that causes the brain to disintegrate in months.
In an ironic twist of fate, the infection gives humans the power to see Skrulls for who they are, and to morph their own bodies into other forms. A group of infected people band together to seek out other victims and to destroy the Skrull agents. Like Monty Python’s Spanish Inquisition, they appear unexpectedly and exterminate the Skrull wherever they hide, as friend or co-worker.

Did you know THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR starred in his very own comic book?
Professional wrestler Warrior has parleyed his success in the ring into a franchise of videos, merchandise, and other paraphernalia, of which the Warrior comic book is one example.
Warrior, credited as the writer on the book, keeps the storylines simple and action-oriented. The hero of this title owns a health club that serves as the staging area for his adventures, but he is frequently out fighting demons and aliens in other parts of the universe. Readers can count on these encounters featuring plenty of the action and attitude that makes Warrior a favorite on the WWF circuit. Moreover, each story is used to demonstrate a key element of Warrior’s personal philosophy of self-development, which is explained in text at the end of every issue.
Much of the World Wrestling Federation’s backdrop borrows from the epic good vs. evil plot of standard super-hero comics. So it is only natural that they make a foray into this classic, four-color medium. All under a fantastic photographic cover of THE UNDERTAKER.

An acclaimed French series of graphic novels finally makes its appearance on American soil. Alexandro Jodorowsky and Juan Gimeniz’s epic now appears in the U.S., remastered in a brand new comic book.
This tale, lavishly elaborated from a minor story by French comics legend Moebius (Blueberry, Silver Surfer), tells of a mysterious family of laborers who guard a great secret, one that allows them to perform their jobs as simple marble cutters with an almost magical ease. But a near-tragic mishap forces to reveal their secret. And once revealed, it throws the galaxy into civil war. From this war rises the half-man half-bionic Metabaron, a cold killer who passes on his family tradition in the most startling and chilling of manners. Writer Alexandro Jodorowsky (Incal) and artist Juan Gimenez take the Moebius concept to wondrous extremes in this exciting and majestic series.

HARD TO FIND COLLECTORS ITEM WRITTEN BY ALAN MOORE (CREATOR OF THE WATCHMEN) AND DRAWN BY SPAWN CREATOR TODD MACFARLANE!
Violator is Spawn’s oldest and most deadly enemy. He appears to be a fat, psychotic clown—dangerous enough in his own right. However, he’s also a powerful demon from Hell, and can revert to his true form whenever serious carnage is called for.
Pits Spawn’s worst enemy, Violator, a demon spawned by Hell, against Badrock, the Youngblood member and behemoth made of rock.
The tale begins when the government sponsors a group of scientists to capture and study the Violator. They know of his existence because of an earlier battle between him and Spawn. Badrock is brought in by the scientists since he is already on the government payroll. After capturing Violator in a well-planned trap, the scientists believe that their work is finished. They ask Badrock to stick around, however, “just in case.”
The scientists’ request turns out to be a wise move because the Violator breaks free, kills most of the project personnel, and tries to escape. Badrock really hates to lose and the two duke it out in an epic battle.
Fantastic high quality full color comic book printed on bright glossy paper stock.

Of course, it doesn’t hurt that he drives the best car on the road: the “fabulous Mach 5.”

HARD TO FIND COLLECTORS ITEM WITH A STORY WRITTEN BY ALAN MOORE (THE ACCLAIMED WRITER OF THE WATCHMEN)!
D.R. and Quinch is a comic strip created by Alan Moore and Alan Davis. The strip was the tale of how two alien teenage students Waldo "D.R." (for "Diminished Responsibility") Dobbs, a scheming criminal mastermind (who with his pointed ears, green flesh, and furrowed chin, resembled a Skrull), and Ernest Errol Quinch, his muscular purple skinned companion in crime, have influenced Earth's history in various anarchic ways.
Also includes a JUDGE DREDD story and a STRONTIUM DOG story.
Presenting stories from the legendary British comic series, 2000 A.D., this title is a hyperactive romp through an ultra-violent future. Starring Judge Dredd, the final word in law enforcement officers, it also included backup stories featuring Strontium Dog, and a couple of high-tech, homicidal, joy-riding aliens named D.R. (for “Diminished Responsibility”) and Quinch.
For all its quirkiness, 2000 A.D. Monthly is a terribly funny black comedy. It comes highly recommended for anyone capable of thinking of a thorium bomb as a comic prop.
The stories in this issue were presented for the first time in FULL COLOR!
