The greatest collection of artists on a single project ever continues with this second issue of renditions of Michael Allred's Frank "Madman" Einstein! It's been ten years since Madman debuted on the comic book scene, and in celebration of the ten-year anniversary, this gallery series is coming your way. Many of these pieces have never been seen, have been re-colored, or only been printed the size of a bubblegum card. This issue gives you the opportunity to see these artistic gems big and beautiful and on "fancy-shmancy" paper! Between the brand new covers by Mike Allred you'll find legends and comic book giants like Brian Bolland, Kevin Nowlan, the Hernandez Bros., Paul Rivoche, Daniel Clowes, Peter Bagge, Matt Wagner, Tim Sle, Kyle Baker, Jamie Hewlett, John Bolton, Evan Dorkin and many, many more! You'll keep this baby on your coffee table for years to come (or seal it and box it - it's up to you)!

20TH CENTURY EIGHTBALL TP
by Daniel Clowes
Before the Ghost World graphic novel and film propelled Daniel Clowes to international superstardom as the preeminent cartoonist of his generation, his ongoing comic book Eightball was already the most talked-about series of the 1990s. 20th Century Eightball collects the very best humor strips from Eightball, written and drawn between 1988 and 1996. Included within are such seminal strips/rants as "I Hate You Deeply," "Sexual Frustration," "Ugly Girls," "Why I Hate Christians," "Message to the People of the Future," "Paranoid," "My Suicide," "Chicago," and over three dozen more. Other favorites include "Art School Confidential," one of Clowes' most popular strips of all-time - it was recently optioned as a major motion picture from a script by Clowes (the film will be Zwigoff's directorial follow-up to Ghost World). This volume reprints the recently out of print Clowes books Lout Rampage and Orgy Bound and features pieces re-colored and touched up by Dan himself.

THE COMICS JOURNAL LIBRARY VOLUME ONE: JACK KIRBY TP
edited by Milo George
The Comics Journal Library Volume 1, the first of a series of collections of interviews and essays from the medium's premier magazine of critical commentary for the past 25 years, Fantagraphics Books presents a comprehensive look at the man and the creator through a series of exclusive in-depth interviews and critical essays. In his own words, Kirby describes the circumstances of the creative process, his many contributions to the comics medium, and candidly discusses his personal and professional triumphs and disappointments, including his landmark battle with Marvel Comics in the 1980s over the intellectual properties and original art created work-for-hire for the publishing giant over a 25-year period. Exclusively available in this landmark volume on one of comics' seminal influences is the first publication of all of Kirby's illustrated letters when he was overseas during World War II. These powerfully moving field drawings and letters to his wife Roz, written and drawn while the artist served as a solider in the European Theater of Operations, provide a never-before seen portrait of the artist as a young man in a foxhole.

GREETINGS FROM HELLVILLE
by Thomas Ott
A chilling hardcover collection of wordless horror shorts from the master of scratchboard. Greetings from Hellville consists of four short stories, all told without words, crafted with Ott's trademark black-and-white scratchboard style. Ott creates modern horror comics that have been described as the postmodern successor to EC's infamous line from the 1950s. The final story, "Goodbye!" relates a man's multiple suicide attempts. After each new method the man finds himself miraculously alive, until he pulls his curtains aside and is finally killed by the looming mushroom cloud hovering over the city. "Goodbye!" is a perfect example of Greetings from Hellville's bleak and suspenseful mood. Despite a large European following for years, especially in France and Germany, and acclaimed short stories published in American anthologies, this book is Ott's first American book. His meticulous scratchboard style is masterful, provoking awe and admiration in the face of the repeated horrors portrayed, and is sure to establish him as one of the preeminent horror cartoonists being published today.

THE STUFF OF DREAMS
by Kim Deitch
More of that sweet, sweet chaos from the pen of one of underground comics' most revered cartoonists - Kim Deitch! Now that his Fantagraphics series "The Mishkin Saga" (named one of the 100 greatest comics of this past century by The Comics Journal) will be collected as a hardcover book by Pantheon (publisher of Jimmy Corrigan and David Boring) in late 2002, there'll be no stopping the Waldo Train. In the all-new The Stuff of Dreams, the plot spirals out of collecting stuff and the bizarre mania that so often seems to go with it. It starts with an encounter at a flea market and evolves into a wild south sea island yarn complete with angry volcano and a big, fat, juicy part for the big star out at Deitch studios, as the villain of the piece, Waldo the Cat. Lots of sex, exploitation, violence and a few other surprises along the way including a big cash offer!

THE STRANGE CASE OF EDWARD GOREY--NEW PRINTING
by Alexander Theroux
Back at last after being selling out the first printing immediately! This is Alexander Theroux's (author of Darconville's Cat and The Primary Colors) second monograph for Fantagraphics Books (following Enigma of Al Capp), on the world-class cartoonist and illustrator whose wide-ranging career spans 50 years and nearly 100 books (including such classics as The Hapless Child and The Loathesome Couple), as well as books he illustrated for such authors as Raymond Chandler, Lewis Carroll, and Samuel Beckett. Theroux's essay combines an insightful artistic analysis, a personal reminiscence of the artist he's known for over 25 years, an intimate familiarity with his oeuvre, and an authoritative overview of Gorey's career, written in the author's justly celebrated, delightfully playful and precise prose style. Drawing on exclusive interviews with Gorey over the years, Theroux explores Gorey's artistic impulses, his vast and eclectic interest in popular culture, his acerbic and eccentric opinions on films, literature, and politics, and examines the nooks and crannies of Gorey's career. Above all, Theroux's essay is a loving tribute from a lifelong admirer.

DAN DECARLO FRAMED PRINT SET #1
by Dan DeCarlo
Josie DeCarlo and Dan Fogel are pleased to present, for the first time to the general public, Dan DeCarlo's first creator-owned two-print set! The late Mr. DeCarlo was internationally renowned and cherished as the creator of Josie and the Pussycats, co-creator of Sabrina the Teenage Witch, and the definitive Betty & Veronica artist for Archie Comics for over four decades. In "Burlesque," a saucy brunette stripper hits the floodlights, and in "Hot Number," a curvaceous reclining blonde cutie phones her beau. These greyscale, classic 1950s "Good Girl" art prints are printed on quality cardstock, and were previously available only at the 2001 Comic-Con International: San Diego and Expo. They are tasteful and only slightly naughty (in a PG way) and are excellent examples of DeCarlo's influential and definitive style. Each print in the set is shipped flat in POP Plastics' exclusively designed and manufactured ArtPOPs! This archival, 100% acid-free, frame is custom made, and presents a brand-new way to protect your prints and the original art boasts a clear PVC cover around a white chipboard frame. They can be either hung on the wall or sit displayed freestanding on a desk. Each set includes a numbered Certificate of Authenticity signed by Josie, the artist's muse, widow, and inspiration for the artist's most beloved creation.

REMEMBRANCE OF THINGS PAST VOLUME 2 HC
by Marcel Proust; adapted by Stephane Heuet
Proust, now a teenager, describes his first separation from his mother, a vacation taken in a high-class beach resort in Normandy. Besides the fleeting visions of young girls, he also keenly observes, without acidity but detached amusement, the petty sophistry of the French upper class in its genteel environs, safely removed from the lower ones. An important social question is to know whether the pane of glass will always protect the feast of the marvelous beasts, and if the obscure people peering at them through the night will not pick them out of their aquarium and eat them.
