Savage Sword of Conan Volume 3 (Conan (Graphic Novels))

Roy Thomas, Various

Dark Horse, 2008

to tread the jeweled thrones...
When I was young, mid to late 70's, I would read issue after issue of Savage Sword more than any other comic or magazine. It was my favorite, and I had quite a large number of issues. Unfortunately, I lost my collection in a fire in the late 80's. When I found that Dark Horse was re-printing the issues of Savage Sword as volumes, and that those volumes would be available here at Amazon, I ...

Principles of Refrigeration (5th Edition)

Roy J. Dossat, Thomas J. Horan

Prentice Hall, 2001

In depth basics to complicated analysis of refrigation cycle
In understanding the refrigeration cycle, Roy Dossat had 25 years in the field before teaching at the University of Houston. I was fortunate to attend the course taught by him in the 70's. It showed the man had much to offer even to the less experienced technician who needed to start on the basics. This book is easy to understand and a nice read for those who need answers to the complicated ...

He hung it over his fireplace. Well, rumors spread and a investigating Art Historian found that the painting was a lost Bottichelli , valued at several million dollars. After the discovery was made public, the man ...

Essential Man-Thing, Vol. 1 (Marvel Essentials)

4 reviews
Roy Thomas, Gerry Conway, ...

Marvel Comics, 2006

excellent
The comic starts off slowly, repetitively, but soon flowers into an existential, anarchic,nihilist-naive, neo primitivist landscape, which prefigures and pre empts and "pre imagines" Charles Burns "Black Hole" and aspects of Alan Moore by decades. The action takes place in a swamp -- a secluded place, a dank,, threatening, yet pure place, untouched by the corruption of man -- yet it's a ...

Roy Chapman Andrews

Random House, 1953

My first real book
Usually, when I do a review of books here on Amazon, I don't personalize it. I try to be objective and describe what is both good and bad about the work. However, Roy Chapman Andrews was about my first hero. And this was my first real book, which I got when I was 8 years old. I lost the original copy, but a friend of mine found a 1956 edition which I treasure. From this book, I learned about ...

Mother's Love
As a child my mother read from this book to me and to my father. She need not have read much as she memorized many of the poems and can recite them now, though well past her 90th year. I have given this book to many of my friends and consider it a gift of love and inspiration.

DC Comics, 1991

Winter Night
This book is an adeptation of the last half of Dragons of Winter Night. It is a very thick comic book that was written in 1985 after the original chronicles came out. I have only books 1,2,3, and 4 and all of them are pretty acurate in there interpretation of the original.

John Romita, And All That Jazz

3 reviews
Roy Thomas; Jim Amash; John Romita Sr.

TwoMorrows Publishing, 2007

Excellent book for anyone.
This book was a recommendation to me as not only an interesting history of the comic industry and one of the better artists, but also as a well written book using the technique of the interview to let the subject of the book describe his life. Lavishly illustrated, great antecdotal tales. Both Mr. Amash and Mr. Thomas had known Mr. Romita for many years, according to the book and they treated ...

Elric: Sailor on the Seas of Fate

Roy Thomas

First Classics, 1987

The voyage of the Eternal Champion upon the seas of mythos
Every page of this graphic novel could stand on it's own as a worthy work of art. The colours are especially magnificent. In the forward, Michael Moorcock expresses his surprise and delight that First Comics could adapt his work so faithfully to graphic form. Indeed, this volume is one of the best monuments to that now defunct Chicago publishing house. Sailor on the Seas of Fate is actually the ...

Land of the Flying Masks: Art & Culture in Burkina Faso, the Thomas G. B. Wheellock Collection

2 reviews
Christopher D. Roy, Thomas G. B. Wheelock

Prestel Publishing, 2007

flying colors for flying masks
Although Burkina Faso lies between two nations, Mali and Cote d'Ivoire, whose art stands tall in the canons of African sculpture most sought after in the West, Burkina art has been given short shrift by museums, dealers and collectors, and in literature. As a result, long after important older objects had largely vanished from the lands of the Dogon, Bamana, Senufo and Baule, ancient masks, ...

Alter Ego Collection, Vol. 1

Roy Thomas

TwoMorrows Publishing, 2006

GOLDEN AND SILVER AGE BLISS!
At the risk of sounding like a giddy comic book nerd, Roy Thomas is one of my all-time heroes in comics, and certainly my favorite writer. His long run on the Avengers from 1966 through the early 1970's was arguably the greatest period for the series and saw the introduction of characters such as The Vision, Yellow Jacket, Ultron, the new Black Knight, and the Squadron Supreme. It also featured ...

Roy Lessin, Thomas Blackshear II

The Greenwich Workshop Press, 2001

Faith-promoting reflections
Thomas Blackshear's painting, which is the central focus of this book, is famous to most Christians. It's symbolism carries deep resonance to anyone who has embraced the message of Christ. Here, the complete painting and numerous detailed insets are complimented by Roy Lessin's tender and insightful reflections and excerpts from the Bible. Lessin has examined twelve symbolic elements of the ...

Roy Thomas, Dick Giordano

Marvel Comics, 2005

Bravo to Roy Thomas and Dick Giordano!
This publication is a beautifully bounded hard cover edition of Stoker's Dracula in a graphic novel format. What is amazing is that the work on this publication actually spanned thirty years. The first half of this work was published in several issues of The Tomb of Dracula comic book during the 1970s and was eventually curtailed due to other commitments being undertaken by the authors. ...

Essential Tales Of The Zombie TPB

Roy Thomas, Steve Gerber, ...

Marvel Comics, 2006

The year of the Zombie
The sad and tragic tale of Simon William Garth, the Zombie, started in the fifties when comic book legends Stan Lee and Bill Everett created the undead character for Atlas's horror comic Menace. Newsstands were flooded with a wave of horror titles like Tales from the Crypt, Black Cat, Weird and Dick Briefer's horrific classic The Monster of Frankenstein. All of which fell victim of the newly ...
