Description

This set of nostalgia comes straight from Denis Kitchen Publishing Company


First there is R. Crumb's Music Cards: Heroes of the Blues.

The Heroes trading cards, ardently sought by collectors for years, are FINALLY BACK IN PRINT! The 36 cards (on heavy card stock) are packaged in a very cool 3 x 4 x 1 inch gift box. Depicted are the legends of early blues history: Mississippi John Hurt, Son House, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Memphis Minnie, Charley Patton, Jaybird Coleman, Big Bill Broonzy, Barbecue Bob and many others. A bio of each musical artist by historian Stephen Calt is on the back. And each musician or group is lovingly drawn in full color by underground comix legend R. Crumb.


Second is the Reading Comics Postcard Book of Vintage Photos.


These 24 vintage postcards depicting America's second favorite preoccupation.Rare vintage photos, most never before seen, all depicting people engaging in American's 2nd favorite preoccupation! Included are Hollywood leading men, child stars, a rock star, and a famous cartoonist. But the real stars of this compilation are the assortment of goofy-looking everyday folks who can't take their sometimes-bulging eyes off our favorite medium.
