I had to take a work trip to New England this past week, and since I drove we were able to stop in Philly on the way back down to Virginia. Stopped in Partners and Son for the first time. Grabbed the new Nate Garcia/ dominocorp joint, "Flippy" as well as whatever issues of Mano they had in stock from manoopuesta and the French edition of the Teddy Goldenberg "City Crime Comics." Partners was a great experience. Great shop. I also stopped into my local-ish shop Hello Comics in charlottesville and grabbed a couple of books from their used section. Got a cheap hardcover copy of X'ed Out by Burns and grabbed a cheap copy of Eisner's "Comics and Sequential Art"...which turned out to be signed by Eisner. Not sure if that makes it worth anything. Not sure the shop was aware. Either way, I've been wanting a copy of the book and that makes it a little extra special.

I picked up Boat Life and the Chillingly Weird Art of Matt Fox book from Twomorrows. Really wanna get this. Can you say how much space it dedicates to his comics and how much to his illustration work / covers? Such a unique artist, the kind whose only home could have been comics and pulps. Where else could he possibly find an outlet? Nowhere! Kind of like a friendlier brother to Lee Brown Coye's nightmare visions.

I’ve seen some of Matt Fox’s illustrations before, but I’m only now seeing his comic work, and wow! Looks like I’ll need to be grabbing a copy of this! Glad to see you mention Coye. I try to recommend Pulp Macabre, the Feral House collection of his later work, every chance I get. Collecting his work has also introduced me to so many cool horror and fantasy fanzines of the 60s and 70s, love that stuff!

I'd like to get some of the Hannes Bok collections, but last I checked most were out of print and $$$

BTW have you seen Feral House's William Mortensen book, American Grotesque? Really interesting as well.

There are not a lot of comics in it, at least not as many as I'd hoped, but Marvel still controls his Atlas stuff. There's several essays, some juvenilia and late work, a lot of illustration work, a bunch of covers, a few complete comics stories, some excerpts/one or two page samples of the Atlas work. Most of his Atlas stuff was reprinted in those Atlas Era Marvel Masterworks from a decade or so ago. There's a multipage preview here: issuu.com/twomorrows/docs/mattfoxpreviewJust having flipped through, I am glad I have it, so little stuff out there on these guys, but again, haven't really had time to sit down with it yet.

Hope Hollow do something like this for Chippendale's stuff too That'd be fantastic. I really miss Picturebox, which used to be the de facto purveyor of this kind of stuff, but was pleasantly surprised by the quality of Hollow's editions. Some of the stuff from back in the day is still available, but there are plenty of books I wish were reprinted, like Ninja and Maggots, in Chippendale's case.
