Okay, about 50 books that we picked up from a couple of hauls and We'll have a take a look at Mainly, I wanted to take a look at this. It's sort of a teaser for Dune comic book that Marvel Comics was putting out the artist being Bill Sinkwitski, right? But there's a Dave Sem store here that I read this morning. I thought it was hilarious. So We'll have a read through that as well and this book we picked up for a dollar, right? One dollar Now the people that graded this book that I picked it up from, they graded it at 7.5 and from first look It looks like a 7.5, which is very fine. Minus. However Sinvinich, thank you very much, Crack. Sin Kiewitsch, Sin Kiewitsch, Sinkiewitsch, Bill Sinkiewitsch, Bill Sinkiewitsch. Now they graded this at 7.5, very fine minus. We're live streamed by the winner reading the chat But it's a lower grade than that. Okay, but for a dollar This is a fantastic buy. Very happy with it. Very happy with it Okay The reason it's a lower grade is because it's got water damage on it You can see a little bit of the ripples there. See the ripples? Okay that's like ripples there and Unfortunately, I can't just randomly flip through this because there's some nudity in this. Okay, so Let me, hold on, where'd that paper go?

But you can tell the water damage as well because there's a little bit of staining there Ripples and a little bit of staining. Do you see the staining right there? Okay, so I wouldn't grade this at 7.5 Very fine minus. I would grade this as Probably a five or something. I'm not sure where water staining takes you Some places some graders When something has water staining, they really lower or water damage. They really lower the grade Okay To me it doesn't lower it that much, but I wanted to pay a lower price for it. Thank you very much Right The first few pages are okay. There shouldn't be any nudity here I just want to show you the table of contents here The table of contents should let me get rid of the board so it'd be easier to hold on to So this is epic illustrated number 28 came out in February 1985 right And it's beautiful artwork gang If you can and these books Epic illustrated Cheap cheap cheap most of them are very cheap and there is I Believe 29 in the series.

Clarke's 2010 Space Odyssey Two film makers had to deal not only with satisfying the expectations of a previously established audience But with discovering visual translations for the depth and scope allowed in a work of prose To convert the films into comics Marvel's creative team face similar problems they had to Convey the experience and feel of each movie and at the same time create line art equivalent in a Limited number of pages for several several hours of moving speaking visual images This involves writers editors and artists boiling the script down to key scenes and passages condensing and bridging Dialogue and perhaps most important finding the right illustrative style to suit the given film Though the final adaptations will be printed in full color. We thought it might be Interesting to demonstrate this sense of style by showing the art as it is Originally done before color is added my plan the plan to crush the Atreides I will have Arrakis back for myself He who controls the spice controls the universe and we have controlled Control of someone who is very close to the Duke little this person this traitor would be worth more to us than 10 legions of our of a Sartre Sarducar I won't tell you who the traitor is or when Will attack but the Duke will die before these eyes and No, it is Baron Valdemir Harkonnen who orchestrated his doom as they explode everything in their path as if you can get the in the cause of Muadipa forward death to the Harkonnens Hmm.

Goodbye Jessica and goodbye to your sweet young son, there's Jessica Benny Jezrec's and Boris son Located in the distant future light years away from our own world the environments of doom are solidly logically created by greatly alien But greatly alien to what most of us know through convincing accumulation of detail in costumes and settings through carefully achieved special effects the film captures this This this reinforcing it with this constant secession of images With the far fewer number of images a comics adaptation provides Bill Sikwinsky Sin with twitchy ski Worked boldly and express expression Expressions Expressions the Klee Worked boldly and express xley express xley Building emotionally the movies unique universe to portray the impact and intensity of what might be whole scenes and sequences he employed employed deliberate Exaggeration reaching beyond what the actual makeup and effects might indicate and drawing upon an acute sense of design he fully utilized mass and negative space to suggest dunes incredible landscape which With the stories underlying sense of ecology Share almost the same importance as the characters which move within them Southeast over the shield wall. That's where I told your sandmaster to concentrate his spice harvesting There's the mining facility below where there is spice and spice mining There are always worms Paul to protect their territory vibrations attract them dr.

Look at the line work on here in the inks more so than 2001 Human drama and emotions play a greater role in 2010 This gives Palmer's illustrative pen and brushwork Further opportunity to make full play with lighting as well as with humanizing what might otherwise have become sterile photographic likeliness in the characters As with the filmmakers the creative teams on dune in 2010 have Saw to find their own way of successfully expressing the experience of one medium in the form forms and format of another Defining it with their own individual styles and hopefully making it something that along with reflecting the original offers a unique enjoyment on its own this month along with Being able to see the films.
