Ghastly Terror! The Horrible Story of the Horror Comics
Stephen Sennitt. Headpress, 2002. Back in the 1950s horror comics flourished to the extent that some forty or more titles could be published in a single month. Then they were banned, indicted as a major source of juvenile delinquency. But what were these comics really like? This book examines the whole genre, tracing its development and showing extracts from many of the actual comics.Tracing their development from the grotesque, psychotic visions of the ultra-primitive 'pre-code' horrors, through to the relatively sophisticated graphic nightmares of Warren and Skywald, Ghastly Terror! takes the reader into a dank and sinister world to savour the rotting history of "Tales From The Tomb", "Dark Mysteries", "Weird Terror", "Vault of Horror", "Worlds of Fear", "Web of Evil", "Tales of Voodoo", "Psycho", "Scream", "Creepy", "Twisted Tales", "Taboo, and countless other comic titles! Profusely illustrated throughout, this book is a concise, entertaining and enlightening examination of this most popular and persecuted of comicbook genres. 224 pages.

Edited by Howard L. Bingham, art by Jeff Koons. Taschen, 2004. First Edition. A strictly LIMITED edition celebration of the life and times of Muhammad Ali, arguably the greatest heavy weight boxer ever to step into the ring. Four years in the making, it is without doubt the most comprehensive study of Ali ever offered.

It is crammed with archival and original photographs, graphic artwork, hundreds of articles and essays, many of them previously unpublished. These chronicle the six decades of his life in stunning detail. The project takes place with the participation of Ali himself and those members of his inner circle who have been closest to him over the years: from managers and key corner men to friends, family and children; from spiritual and other advisers to broadcasters, essayists and journalists. This is one of two limited editions, which includes two double gatefold pages, opening up to 80" (203cm) across. This is the COLLECTOR'S EDITION, limited to 9,000 copies and NUMBERED from 1,001 to 10,000. All editions are SIGNED by artist Jeff Koons & Muhammad Ali, himself, and each copy comes in a silk-covered box illustrated with Neil Leifer's iconic 1966 photo, 'Ali vs Williams.'
