Original ‘Art Comics’ Artwork
For Sale at Comic-Con from The Beguiling
Books & Art
Comic-Con International: San Diego, Booth #1629, July 11-15
The Beguiling Books & Art is pleased to
announce that it will once again be returning to The San Diego Comic-Con to
sell a truly outstanding collection of illustrations and original comic book
artwork on behalf of its represented artists. The Beguiling’s Peter Birkemoe
will be on hand and exhibiting in a small corner of booth #1629, owned by
venerable Canadian publisher Drawn + Quarterly, from Preview Night, Wednesday
July 11th, through Sunday, July 15th.
The Beguiling represents original art by
some of art comics’ greatest names at their online art store, including D+Q
cartoonists Kevin Huizenga (Gloriana), Anders Nilsen (Big
Questions), and Seth (Palookaville), and comics superstars Jeff
Lemire (Essex County), Fabio Moon & Gabriel Ba (Casanova),
and Bryan Lee O’Malley (Scott Pilgrim). The Beguiling will have
over 400 pieces of original art on hand by 26 different artists at San Diego this year.
Highlights of this year’s mix of comics
art and illustration include:
- The Beguiling proudly announces that
it will begin selling original art work from creators Pascal Girard and
Shintaro Kago! Girard is the author of the recently released graphic novel The
Reunion from Drawn + Quarterly, and pages from that work and other
illustrations will be on hand. Kago is a renowned Ero-guro manga artist in Japan, and his work includes truly unique formalist experiments (and some very disturbing
imagery), and has been praised by sources as diverse as Scott McCloud and Vice
Magazine.
- A selection of pages from recent Drawn
+ Quarterly graphic novel releases, including pages from Kevin Huizenga’s Gloriana
HC and The Wild Kingdom HC, Brian Ralph’s Cave-In, and Anders
Nilsen’s Eisner Award nominated graphic novel Big Questions.
- Dozens of new, never-before offered
pages by artist Farel Dalrymple. Including new pages from Dalrymple’s work
on the series’ Prophet, Fantastic Four, Omega The Unknown, Vice Magazine, and
more! So new these aren’t even on our website yet!
- Dozens of new pages by Norwegian
artist Jason, from across his many popular graphic novels.
- All of the “new-since-last-Comic-Con”
artwork by artists Gabriel Ba, Jeffrey Brown, Sammy Harkham, Jeff Lemire, Kagan
McLeod, Fabio Moon, Marco Rudy, Maurice Vellekoop, and Zach Worton. All of
these fine cartoonists have provided The Beguiling with new artwork since
exhibiting at Comic-Con 2011, from across their many projects. Highlights
include Jeff Lemire’s Sweeth Tooth, and the complete artwork (!) for Maurice
Vellekoop’s The World of Gloria Badcock.
- A selection of quality originals by
Rafael Albuquerque, Becky Cloonan, Jordan Crane, David Heatley, Miriam Katin,
Jason Lutes, Bryan Lee O’Malley, Paul Pope, Michel Rabagliati, Seth, Jay
Stephens, and Chip Zdarsky. With over 5,000 pieces of original art
represented by The Beguiling, a selection of the best and most interesting
pieces by these creators will be available for sale in San Diego.
