    Strange Death of Alex Raymond HC (2021 Living the Line) 1SIGNED-1ST NM 9.4

    Starts Jun 1

    1st printing. Signed by Dave Sim and Carson Grubaugh - Limited to 301 copies. Written and illustrated by Dave Sim and Carson Grubaugh. Legendary creator Dave Sim is renowned world-wide for his groundbreaking Cerebus the Aardvark. Now, in The Strange Death of Alex Raymond, Sim brings to life the history of comics' greatest creators, using their own techniques. Equal parts Understanding Comics and From Hell, Strange Death is a head-on collision of ink drawing and spiritual intrigue, pulp comics and movies, history and fiction. The story traces the lives and techniques of Alex Raymond (Flash Gordon, Rip Kirby), Stan Drake (Juliet Jones), Hal Foster (Prince Valiant), and more, dissecting their methods through recreations of their artwork, and highlighting the metatextual resonances that bind them together. Hardcover, 8-1/2" x 12", 310 pages, B&W.
