A superb find. Congrats!
A superb find. Congrats!
Stephen Hickman, wonderful artist and human being, passed away a few days ago. I was fortunate enough to have known him for a short time and also to have the honor of being caretaker of a few of his paintings, including one I helped him name. I just found out he was also an author. He had a book published in the 80s in which he also illustrated the cover. I just received a copy that was signed and inscribed. To my surprise I believe it is inscribed to Howard and Jane Frank who were authors and had one of the largest Sci-Fi and Fantasy book and art collections in the world.
Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.
Congrats Becca. Sorry he passed away, but that art is awesome. I love the style.
It's a different take, but I love Frank Frazetta. One of my favorites.

First class as always Becca.
Very interesting story and some delights looking at Howard and Jane Franks collection.
Love that hand writing and signature.
Thanks Mike and thanks Alec. I got confirmation that it was from their collection. A friend of mine happened to be chatting with Jane when I showed him the inscription and she confirmed it was theirs!

That's some nice paper; it looks like you could dry the dishes with that thing.

What a nice acquisition, Becca! Great charity, btw.
I am also very impressed with your Dark Half inscribed proof. It is pretty amazing! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you! That Dark Half was a surprise find at a very good price considering the market these days. I found that (UK) auction through one of the book groups on FB. I don’t think the King book was noticed by many. It came in a custom slipcase which helped keep it in fine condition. They had a lot of nice items.

Cannot say I’m over familiar with the “Baby Bos” in Blush, Becca.
However love that Cycle of the Werewolf, first class. The Best of Cemetery Dance, Signed Limited is also a delightful book.
Congratulations.
