Art and Faerie X 2

Abrams Books presents a triple treat of reading pleasure with the release of three new book titles.

First up from author Dan Nadel comes Art In Time: Unknown Comic Book Adventures, 1940 - 1980.

Fourteen artists are represented in obscure reprinted comic book adventure stories. Ranging from Westerns to Romance stories each explore the printed media of comic books and offer unique art styles, coloring techniques and innovative story-telling.
 Artist bios are also included in this handsome, oversize hardback book containing both black and white and color comic book stories.


Artist Brian Froud is represented in two new works from Abrams. First up is the Deluxe Collector's Edition of his award-winning illustrated masterpiece: Fairies. New art, essays, frameable prints and a pull-out poster are just a few of the extras included in this special re-issue by Brian Froud and fellow artist Alan Lee. It's a beautifully crafted book with a new cover and a special sleeve for the prints.
Brian and his wife Wendy collaborate on the long-awaited sequel to their Faerie's Oracle. In The Heart Of Faerie Oracle, 68 Oracle cards, illustrated by Brian, are complemented by a small hardbound book written by Wendy.

The book explains the card illustrations and invites readers to join in the fun, love and wisdom of the Faerie folk. Open the door to the Enchanted Realm with this new box set containing the book and cards wrapped in an illustrated protective sleeve.
