Bean Spasms


Ted Berrigan - 1967
    Originally published in 1967 by Kulchur Press in an edition of 1,000, and out of print for more than 40 years, "Bean Spasms" is a book many have heard about but relatively few have seen, and which--until now--has been consequently shrouded in legend. The text is comprised of collaborations between poets Ted Berrigan and Ron Padgett, with further writings, illustrations and cover by artist and writer Joe Brainard. The three began collaborating in 1960, and kept a folder of their works titled "Lyrical Bullets" (a humorous homage to the well-known collaboration between Coleridge and Wordsworth, "Lyrical Ballads"). As Ron Padgett describes, in his introduction to this new facsimile edition, their collaborations included "plays, a fictitious correspondence, a picaresque novel, goofy interviews and poems of various types and lengths, as well as mistranslations and parodies of each other's work and the work of others." Poet friends dropping by during writing sessions would also add lines, and although Berrigan and Padgett also contributed visuals, and Brainard contributed texts, all works in the book were intentionally left unattributed. Full of wild wit and joy in experimentation, competition and collaboration, "Bean Spasms" is a classic document of the New York School.

The Fantastic Four


Stan Lee - 1967
    Mr. Fantastic, the Invisible Girl, the Human Torch and our own shy retiring Thing were the first of Marvel's superhero successes and without them there might be no Hulk, no Spider-Man, no Howard the Duck. In this high voltage full color never before seen volume, you will see for yourself the reasons for their stupendous success and the immense influence they've had on the rest of comicdom. From the day they took off, as mere mortals, for the unknown terrors of outer space (and returned changed by the cosmic rays into superhero superstars) they've been battling the likes of Dr. Doom, Apex, the Inhumans and Galactus. That's right. Galactus, the godlike devourer of whole worlds and the only being strong enough to stop him, the Silver Surfer took their first bows in an episode of Fantastic Four. And it was the fearsome foursome who reintroduced Prince Namor, otherwise known as the sensational Sub-Mariner, to the world of comics after a long, long absence. And it's all right here, in this volume filled with the Fantastic Four's most fabulous fables and Marvel's most memorable milestones.Collects Fantastic Four #4, 48–50, and 87
