One of the great icons of distribution and curating of the American and International Graphical Novel, Pop culture, Pulp novels, Art and Illustration, Pinups and Photography is shutting down his business. I have been a fan of Buds Art Books for a couple of years (he has been in the business for over 40 years) and was saddened to find out a month ago that he would no longer be sending his monthly catalog. But I was even more saddened to get the Final Final catalog which says "I am closing down Bud's Art Books".

The only moderately bright note in all this is the possibility for any fans of the genres to pick up books and other items at ridiculously low prices. You can check them out here and if you are a fan let Bud know by commenting here or on Bud's site.

Take a look at the site -- you will find something you like for sure. If you're a fan of graphic novels, or manga, DC COmics, Mad, Dean Yeagle and Mandy, Boris Vallejo -- Bud's has something for you!

Jodorowsky Now in Lincoln MA at GilRoederStudio

 

I've been a huge fan of Alejandro Jodorowsky since back in my graduate school days. In fact, I was once mistaken for one of his characters in El Topo on late night in New York City.For anyone who is not familiar with Jodorowsky let me recap...

Alejandro Jodorowsky is a Chilean writer and filmaker among other things. His best known (and my favorite) of his films is El Topo, which enjoyed a lengthy midnight run at the Waverly Theatre in Greenwich Village - kind of a precursor to the Rocky Horror Picture Show. More recently, he has been a writer of graphic novels with the 

collaboration of several amazing artists.

I'm excited to announce that the GilRoederStudio in Lincoln, MA is now carrying a line of Jodorowsky's graphic novels. Here is what we currently have available:

The MetaBarons Saga Volumes 1-4

The TechnoPriests - Books 1,2, and 3
