AT WITH AND ABOUT TP THROUGH THE BLIGHTED LENS OF GLENN BRAY

For over 50 years, Glenn Bray has been shining a spotlight on some of the most outrageous, powerful, and subversive art made in the 20th century. He was the first to note and preserve what amounts to an alternative history of American pop culture. In his new memoir, At, With and About, he turns his focus on the potent post-war landscape of the San Fernando Valley?s washed-up entertainers, suburbs, and Hollywood debris that lit the fuse for a life of endless aesthetic engagement. Bray met and befriended some of the most wild and woolly icons of outr? culture as well as fellow travelers, collectors, and dealers that make up the world of So Cal pop history. With all-new artist interviews and Bray?s own large-format photographs, this book bears graphic witness to it all with hundreds of images tracing his life of collecting art and befriending artists.

ATLAS COMICS LIBRARY HC NO 10 SPORTS ACTION

In the summer of 1949, Marvel decided to bring its successful sports pulps to the Atlas comic-book line, launching Sport Stars #1, which became Sports Action with its second issue, the same name as one of his most successful sports pulps of the 1930s. Across fourteen tumultuous issues, the artistic cream of the Timely/Atlas crop (Syd Shores, Joe Maneely, Bill Everett, Bob Powell, Gene Colan, George Tuska, Bernard Krigstein, and others) told biographical stories about sports heroes of the 1930s and 1940s in all the major sports: Knute Rockne (football), Hack Wilson (baseball), Man O?War (horse racing), Herman Sandow (physical culture), Bronco Nagurski (football), Ralph Kiner (baseball), Phil Rizzuto (baseball), Warren Spahn (baseball), Sugar Ray Robinson (boxing), Jackie Robinson (baseball), and Niles Kinnick, the 1939 Heisman Trophy winner of the Iowa Hawkeyes, among a score of others! These never before collected stories add to the historical Timely/Atlas tapestry, providing another window into the variety and breadth of Marvel?s early history.
