But that only draws her into Princess's crosshairs as well.

A UNIQUE MIX OF COMICS, POP CULTURE AND AMERICANA The season's first book from Fantagraphics' new imprint Marschall Books is Drawing Power, a lively collection of mass market print advertising from the 1890s to the recent past, starring both cartoonists and cartoon characters. While critics debate whether comics is high art or low art, the fact is that the comic strip was born as a commercial medium and was nurtured by competition, commerce, and advertising. Drawing Power will be the first book-length examination (and celebration) of the nexus of art and cartoons. It will focus on the commercial roots of newspaper strips; the cross-promotions of artists, their characters, and retail products; and of the superb artwork that cartoonists invested in their lucrative freelance work in advertising. Drawing Power is cultural history, chronicling a time in popular culture when cartoonists were celebrities and their strips and characters competed with the movies for the attention of a mass audience. The book will examine cartoonists as public personalities, and their advertising efforts from the first heartbeat of the comic strip as an art form. Here are surprising and familiar examples of products, accounts, memorable ad campaigns, and examples of widely known catch-phrases. Examples of individual cartoon ads through the years include: o Yellow Kid advertising o Buster Brown Shoe campaigns o Dr Seuss' 'Flit' cartoons and his longtime career hyping motor oil o WWII ads o Pepsi and Pete by Rube Goldberg o The best-looking comic strip ads ever: Milton Caniff and Noel Sickles (under pen names!) depicting characters' personal crises relieved by a coffee substitute o Little Orphan Annie's famous Ovaltine campaign, and Mickey Mouse as pitch-man o Peanuts shilling Falcons and B.C. shilling Dr. Pepper o Dagwood selling atomic energy o and virtually every super-hero trafficking in the mortal realm to shill every product imaginable A special section will showcase ads that featured cartoonists themselves as hucksters; can you believe The New Yorker's urbane Peter Arno selling, not nightclub cocktails, but working-class beer? Walt (Pogo) Kelly selling cement? (immagine) Categoria: Books: novel/sci fi/horror

Writers' and Artists' Names: Art and captions by Mark Schultz. Introduction by Fred Perry Synopsis: A compendium of illustrations charting the artistic process from conception to final creation? This fifth volume of Various Drawings showcases a generous selection of private art and commissions, along with a smattering of previously published pieces, all created by Mark Schultz over the past two years. A wealth of sketches, preliminaries, studies and finished art, this new installment will appeal to longtime fans of Mark's work, as well as those discerning souls who seek only the best examples of modern imaginative illustration to add to their personal collections. Despite being an acknowledged modern master of pencil and brush and ink, Schultz has never stopped expanding his visual vocabulary, never shied away from experimenting, never slowed in his relentless pursuit of graphic Nirvana. Nor has he forgotten his first loves and obsessions: pulp and noir-fueled dames, otherworldly SF and fantasy pinups, slavering dinosaurs and fearsome women, gleaming spaceships and alluring cosmic coeds. Schultz brings all of them-even entire worlds-to pulsing life with his pencil or brush, the slightest nimbus of tint, a revelatory breath of dry brushstroke upon the page. Herein reside Hanna Dundee of the Xenozoic age, the bravos featured in the forthcoming Storms at Sea, a glorious 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea centerfold, and stranger vistas still. About Mark Schultz Mark Schultz loves a good story, always has. His lifelong interest in the sciences and natural history led him to create the award-winning Xenozoic tales and co-create the undersea adventure SubHuman, as well as to write such non-fiction projects as The Stuff of Life, a Graphic Guide to Genetics and DNA. He has illustrated a collection of Robert E. Howard's Conan of Cimmeria and the autobiography of Charles R. Knight. Currently, he is completing the visuals for his Storms at Sea novella.
