(W) Ken Quattro (A) Matt Baker

Read about the riveting stories of Black artists who drew, mostly behind the scenes, superhero, horror, and romance comics in the early years of the industry.

Stoner became a renowned fine artist of the Harlem Renaissance. Perhaps more fascinating is Owen Middleton who was sentenced to life in Sing Sing. Then there is Matt Baker, the most revered of the Black artists, whose exquisite art spotlights stunning women and men, and who drew the first groundbreaking Black comic book hero, Vooda! Gorgeously illustrated with rare examples of each artist's work, including full stories from mainstream comic books to rare titles like All-Negro Comics and Negro Heroes, plus unpublished artist's PHOTOs and art. Invisible Men: The Trailblazing Black Artists of Comic Books features Ken Quattro's over 20 years of impeccable research and writing. The social and cultural environments that formed these extraordinary artists are deftly detailed by Quattro in this must-have book!

(W) Mick Rock (A) Na (CA) Na

A unique tribute from David Bowie's official PHOTOgrapher and creative partner, Mick Rock, compiled in 2015, with Bowie's blessing.

With it landed Bowie's Stardust alter ego: a glitter-clad, mascara-eyed, sexually ambiguous persona who kicked down the boundaries between male and female, straight and gay, fact and fiction into one shifting and sparkling phenomenon of '70s self-expression. A key passenger on this glam trip into the stratosphere was fellow Londoner and PHOTOgrapher Mick Rock. This collection brings together spectacular stage shots, iconic PHOTO shoots, as well as intimate backstage portraits.
