Al Williamson
In 1948 a young Al Williamson accepted his first commercial assignment--for an issue of Famous Funnies comics, which launched his career as a professional in the field. Developing an elegant and illustrative style, he soon gained prominence in the highly influential EC Comics line of the 1950s. Over the next few decades, his exquisite art also illuminated many Atlas comics, various incarnations of Flash Gordon and the comic strips Secret Agent Corrigan and Star Wars, as well as a host of other titles and properties. This extraordinary body of superior work cemented Williamson's longstanding popularity. By the end of his career in the early 2000s, he had become one of the most highly regarded...
50 Girls 50
Barely old enough to drink when he joined the EC Comics stable, Al Williamson may have been the new kid on the block, but a lifetime of studying such classic adventure cartoonists as Alex Raymond (Flash Gordon) and Hal Foster (Prince Valiant) had made him a kid to reckon with ― as he proved again and again in the stories he created for EC’s legendary “New Trend” comics, in particular Weird Science and Weird Fantasy.

Hidden Lands
Al Williamson stands in rarified air, among the titans of the development of comics as an art form. Drawing from the tradition of the heyday of book, advertising, and comic-strip illustration, Williamson brought a command of craft and dynamics rarely seen, before or since, to a field that had largely valued speed over skill. As part of an amazing stable of young artists at E.C. in the 1950s, Williamson helped change the industry forever although much of his work of the era has remained hidden. This work includes a diverse array of fantasy, science fiction, westerns, war stories, and more that showcases the astonishing range of this master of the form.

The Al Williamson Sketchbook
Al Williamson is a legendary fifty year veteran comic-book and adventure-strip artist. Williamson has glorified E.C.'s Weird Science, won awards for his Flash Gordon, and Marvel-ous inking, inspired a generation of imitators with his Creepy and Eerie magazine work, and has been universally recognized as the truly classic Star Wars comics artist. Williamson's sketches are the closest thing the artist has produced to traditional fine art. They are in many ways his purest work. The Al Williamson Sketchbook is the only major collection of these works. The book spans the artist's most intimate musings, revealing hundreds of unpublished works dating from his years of collaboration with Frazetta, Krenkel, Wood and Torres, through all the classic Williamson subjects: dinosaurs, alien landscapes, fantastic ruined cities, exotic women, Star Wars, and swashbuckling swordplay. J. David Spurlock is an illustrator, publisher, and historian of popular culture.

When the Flash Gordon title made its move to King Comics in 1966, it was the start of a brilliant new look and a giant leap forward in storytelling and character.

Join the brave and just Flash Gordon as he boldly travels the spaceways!
Race for the Moon
Race for the Moon was originally published by Harvey in 1958, long before we landed on the moon. The stories contained inside are the product of the time period, our race against the "Reds" and the desire to reach the moon. This is sci-fi and told through the eyes of Jack Kirby, Joe Simon, Al Williamson, Bob Powell and others. This fun series lasted three issues and is reprinted in its entirety including the Harvey house ads. In color and fully restored.
Flash Gordon: On the Planet Mongo
Beginning the complete library of the greatest science fiction hero of all time. Volume One will spotlight the work of Alex Raymond, legendary for some of the finest storytelling of the 20th century. Raymond illustrated the Sunday strips until 1944; with his clear and much-imitated style forming the original aesthetic of the most popular and easily recognised science fiction hero for decades to come. Introducing Flash Gordon, Dale Arden, Dr. Hans Zarkov, and Ming the Merciless, this volume will catapult readers to the deadly planet Mongo. These are the strips that influenced George Lucas to create Star Wars, and which illustrator Al Williamson said were "the reason I became an artist."
