NEIL GAIMAN HARLEQUIN VALENTINE GRAPHIC NOVEL HARDCOVER JOHN BOLTON PAINTED ART!

Harlequin Valentine [Hardcover] Neil Gaiman (Author), John Bolton (Author) Published by DARK HORSE in 2001. In this modern hardcover retelling of a classic commedia dell'arte legend of tomfoolery and hopeless, fawning love, creators Neil Gaiman (The Sandman, the Newbery Medal-winning The Graveyard Book) and John Bolton (Evil Dead) update the relationship of Harlequin and Columbine. A buffoon burdened with a brimming heart, Harlequin chases his sensible, oblivious Columbine around the city streets, having given his heart freely. Consumed with love, the impulsive clown sees his heart dragged about town, with a charming surprise to bend the tale in a modern direction. Gaiman's writing is poetic and as heartfelt as the subject matter. Bolton's art, a combination of digitally enhanced photorealism and dynamic painting, provides sensational depth with bright characters over fittingly muted backgrounds. Those who have spent Valentine's Day alone are aware that the cold February holiday can be hard to swallow. Gaiman and Bolton want you to know that all it takes is a steak knife, a fork, and a bottle of quality ketchup! About the Author Neil Gaiman wrote the award-winning graphic novel series The Sandman, and with Terry Pratchett, the award-winning novel Good Omens. His first book for children, The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish, illustrated by Dave McKean, hasn't yet won any awards, but was one of Newsweek's Best Children's Books of 1997. Angels & Visitations, a small press story collection, was nominated for a World Fantasy Award and won the International Horror Critics Guild Award for Best Collection, despite not having any horror in it. Well, hardly any.Born in England, he now makes his home in America, in a big dark house of uncertain location where he grows exotic pumpkins and accumulates computers and cats. He is currently at work turning his first novel Neverwhere into a film for Jim Henson films.

BATMAN VS JOKER GRAPHIC NOVEL! SWITCH

RARE and OUT OF PRINT.

HARD TO FIND COLLECTORS ITEM FOR FANS OF BATMAN.

Featuring full color painted artwork by JOHN BOLTON.

with breathtaking painted art by John Bolton (THE BOOKS OF MAGIC)! The Joker awakens drugged and confused on the streets of London...and he's undergone a shocking transformation!

Written by bat-seasoned Devin Grayson (of Nightwing and Batman: Gotham Knights fame) from concepts put forth by artist John Bolton (Batman: Man-Bat), this prestige-format original graphic novel has interesting ideas, including putting The Clown Prince of Crime in the unlikely role of detective. The villain’s clown-like mug has been disfigured (his trademark grin now resides on the back of his neck), and he must search the foggy streets of London for answers. The Dark Knight Detective does a little detective work of his own.

The Joker, who is dangerous, has an inner dialogue that gives readers insight into his warped, rambling, hyperactive mind. The story as a whole is at once weirdly hallucinogenic, resulting in a healthy dose of madness

fantastic high quality full color graphic novel printed on bright glossy paper stock.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

THIS VERSION IS LONG OUT OF PRINT.

HARD TO FIND COLLECTOR'S ITEM BY NEIL GAIMAN AND SCOTT HAMPTON.

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 printing of an original BOOKS OF MAGIC volume 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 Bo Hampton, 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.
