In memoriam:
Noted illustrator Dave Stevens, creator of "The Rocketeer" and an influential Bettie Page revivalist, died last Monday following a courageous battle with leukemia. He was 52, and will be dearly missed by his many fans. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.





Among our new items this week:
GIL ELVGREN: The Complete Pin-ups
By Louis Meisel and Gharles Martignette. Often called "the Norman Rockwell of cheesecake" Elvgren has a painting style of turning his models into gorgeous hyper-reality. Longer legs, flamboyant hair and gravity-defying busts have turned these women into the perfect morale-boosting eye-candy for every homesick private!

M.C. ESCHER: The Graphic Work
Escher's (1898-1972) unique and instantly recognizable style has made his graphic prints extremely popular.

His bold black and white prints challenge the limitations of the viewers perception.
