Profusely illustrated, in psychedelic color, Groovy features interviews with icons of grooviness such as Peter Max, Brian Wilson, Peter Fonda, Melanie, David Cassidy, members of the Jefferson Airplane, Cream, the Doors, the Cowsills and Vanilla Fudge; and cast members of groovy TV shows like 'The Monkees,' 'Laugh-In' and 'The Brady Bunch.'

For a generation of comic-book readers, Jim Aparo is considered the greatest Batman artist of them all. Aparo—with his strong, dynamic style, well-grounded in realism—together with Batman made a team worthy of the title, The Brave and the Bold. But before that team-up book, he made a name for himself on such series as Aquaman, the controversial “Spectre,” and the mysterious Phantom Stranger, and is considered by many to be the definitive artist for each. Now, the team of Jim Amash and Eric Nolen-Weathington (editors of Matt Baker: The Art of Glamour; Carmine Infantino: Penciler, Publisher, Provocateur; and Sal Buscema: Comics’ Fast and Furious Artist) turn the Bat Signal on the life and work of one of comics’ finest! From his time in the world of advertising art, at Charlton Comics on Nightshade and The Phantom, through the heyday of the ’70s, and beyond the death of Robin, Aparo’s career is finally given the attention it so richly deserves. The book is lavishly illustrated with Aparo’s work, including many rare and previously-unpublished pieces. Includes an introduction by award-winning artist Alan Davis, and a new Aparo cover inked by Mike DeCarlo! (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

by Roger Ash & Eric Nolan-Weathington In the 1970s, horror comics were huge - and no one drew werewolves, swamp creatures, and demonic motorcyclists better than Mike Ploog! Though already well established in the fields of magazine illustration and animation, Ploog endeared himself to comics fans with his creepy yet beautiful artwork on such titles as Werewolf by Night, Ghost Rider, and Man-Thing. After an all too brief stint at Marvel Comics, Ploog returned to the world of animation and film, working on such classics as Ghostbusters, Ralph Bakshi's animated The Lord of the Rings, The Dark Crystal, and Labyrinth. This book features a career-spanning interview and discussion of the artist's creative process, complete with both rare and unseen art, including an enormous gallery of commissioned work, and an 8-page color section!

by Eric Nolan-Weathington Kyle Baker may well be the funniest man in comics. With books like The Cowboy Wally Show, Why I Hate Saturn, Plastic Man, and The Bakers on his resume, along with four (of his eight) Eisner Awards in the 'Best Writer/Artist Humor' category, it's hard to argue against him. But he does serious, too - and you can't get much more serious than Nat Turner. He is the all-around cartoonist - he can write, pencil, ink, and color with the best of them. His work has appeared in such diverse publications as The New York Times, Esquire, Rolling Stone, and MAD. Without question, Kyle Baker is a Modern Master, and this book presents a career-spanning interview and discussion of his creative process, plus plenty of rare and unseen art, including an 8-page color section, and a gallery of commissioned work!
