The final volume of Will Eisner’s celebrated instructional trilogy explores the critical principle of body grammar in comics storytelling. Designed and outlined by Will Eisner before his death in 2005, this posthumous masterwork, the third and final book in the Will Eisner Instructional Series, finally reveals the secrets of Eisner’s own techniques and theories of movement, body mechanics, facial expressions, and posture: the key components of graphic storytelling. From his earliest comics, including the celebrated Spirit, to his pioneering graphic novels, Eisner understood that the proper use of anatomy is crucial to effective storytelling. His control over the mechanical and intuitive skills necessary for its application set him apart among comics artists, and his principles of body grammar have proven invaluable to legions of students in overcoming what is perhaps the most challenging aspect of creating comics. Buttressed by dozens of illustrations, which display Eisner’s mastery of expression, both subtle and overt, Expressive Anatomy for Comics and Narrative will benefit comics fans, students, and teachers and is destined to become the essential primer on the craft.

The definitive anthology of the pioneering cartoonist and creator of Mad magazine, featuring 100s of classic and never-before-seeen illustrations. It’s difficult to overstate Harvey Kurtzman’s influence on pop culture. He discovered Robert Crumb and gave Gloria Steinem her first job in publishing. Terry Gilliam also started at his side, where he met John Cleese, and the genesis of Monty Python was formed. And Art Spiegelman has stated on record that he owes his career to him. Harvey Kurtzman was an astonishingly talented and influential artist, writer, editor, and satirist. The creator of MAD and Playboy’s “Little Annie Fanny” was called, “One of the most important figures in postwar America” by the New York Times. Kurtzman’s groundbreaking “realistic” war comics of the early ’50s and various satirical publications (MAD, Trump, Humbug, and Help!) had an immense impact on popular culture, inspiring a generation of underground cartoonists and comedians. The Art of Harvey Kurtzman includes hundreds of never-before-seen illustrations, paintings, pencil sketches, newly discovered lost E.C. Comics layouts, color compositions, illustrated correspondence, and vintage photos from the rich Kurtzman archives.

Peter Poplaski is a long admired and multi-faceted presence in the comics industry. A longtime editor and art director at Kitchen Sink Press (1969-1999) Poplaski worked closely with such legends as Harvey Kurtzman, Milton Caniff, Will Eisner and R. Crumb. He drew the dozen or so definitive covers for KSP/DC's Batman and Superman Dailies and Sundays collections. He edited and designed the definitive "R. Crumb Coffee Table Art Book" for Kitchen Sink/Little, Brown and authored/designed the best-selling "R. Crumb Handbook" for MQP. His personal eccentricity of publicly wearing a Zorro costume (as recorded in Hup, The New York Times, New Yorker, etc.) has become a trademark. This beautiful travel sketchbook focuses on southern France, where he now resides, and reveals a rare, true artist. Don?t trust our word? The blurbs are from such fans as Will Eisner, Mark Schultz, Harlan Ellison and Frank Miller and the Introduction by Robert Crumb. Afterword by Poplaski. 208 pages.
