Self Made Hero Signed & Sketched Editions

If there's one thing we've learnt about Self Made Hero in the last couple of years it's that they make REALLY good books, from graphic biographies, such as Reinhard Kleist's 'Cash: I See a darkness' or this years best selling 'Gonzo: a graphic biography of Hunter S. Thompson', to adaptations of much loved classics like 'Master and Margarita', 'Heart Of Darkness' and Ian Edginton and Ian Culbard's brillant series of Sherlock Holmes stories. Not once dropping the ball on a rapidly burgeoning collection of must have books, Self Made Hero have become our favorite British publisher by a mile.

So, to get to the point, what we are recommending as a perfect gift idea is a selection of their latest offerings in very limited signed and sketched or bookplate editions.

We have individually signed and sketched copies of Ian Culbards Adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's 'At The Mountains Of Madness', Rob Davis' adaptation of Cervantes' 'Don Quixote' and Robert Sellers and JAKe's Cautionary tale of excess 'Hellraisers'

The bookplate editions are David B's 'Black Paths', Fernando Trueba & Javier Mariscal's graphic novel adaptation of their own award winning Film 'Chico & Rita' and finally but defintiely not least is the brilliant 'Sandcastle' by Pierre Oscar Levy and Frederik Peeters which was named Best Science Fiction Graphic Novel of 2011 at the recent Utopiales Science Fiction Festival!

At The Mountains Of Madness (SelfMadeHero) Signed & Sketched

SIGNED & SKETCHED!
Writer: H.P. Lovecraft Artist: Ian Culbard
A tale of terror unlike any other: The barren, windswept interior of the Antarctic plateau was lifeless, or so the expedition from Miskatonic University thought. Then they found strange fossils of unheard-of creatures, carved stones tens of millions of years old and, finally, the unspeakable, mind-twisting terror of the City of the Old Ones.

Black Paths (with exclusive* free bookplate)

Black Paths (with exclusive* free bookplate)

by David B.
At the end of the First World War, the defeated Austro-Hungarian Empire loses control of the city port of Fiume. While the victorious Allies divide the spoils of war at Versailles, they are oblivious to the fact that Fiume, long-coveted by the Italians, has been dramatically captured by pirates! A self-styled Pirate King, Gabriele d'Annunzio storms the city with 3000 loyal soldiers and declares Fiume a free Republic with himself as commander. David B. effortlessly draws d'Annunzio along winding roads, constantly challenging expectations with his dark satire.

Hellraisers (SelfMadeHero) Signed & Sketched

Hellraisers (SelfMadeHero) Signed & Sketched

SIGNED & SKETCHED!
Writer: Robert Sellers
Artist: JAKe

"A Christmas Carol for the wannabe Hellraiser"

The story of four of the greatest boozers of all time: Richard Burton, Richard Harris, Peter O’Toole and Oliver Reed. Robert Sellers and JAKe deftly weave the four stories seamlessly into one fast-paced adventure of drunken binges, orgies, parties and fun.

We begin our tale in a typical London boozer at Christmas time. Our hero, Martin, sits alone at the bar, drinking himself into oblivion. Enter our four hellraisers. In turn, Burton, Harris, Reed and finally O’Toole take this disillusioned soul on a personal tour of their lives: their tumultuous childhoods, rise to stardom and chaotic personal lives.

Sandcastle (limited edition with signed art print)

Sandcastle (limited edition with signed art print)

WINNER OF BEST SCIENCE FICTION GRAPHIC NOVEL 2011
Early morning on a perfect summer's day, people begin to descend on an idyllic, secluded beach. Amongst their number, a family, a young couple, a refugee and some American tourists. Its fine white sand is fringed with rock pools filled with crystal clear water. The beach is sheltered from prying eyes by green fringed cliffs. But this utopia keeps a dark secret. A woman's body is found floating in the waters - which brings these 13 strangers together to try and unravel the riddle of the sands and escape the beach alive in this tense, fantastical mystery.

Pierre Oscar Levy and Frederik Peeters, authors of Sandcastle, have won a prestigious award at last weekend’s Utopiales Science Fiction Festival! While Frederik was with us in London at COMICA Comiket we got the call that Pierre had collected the trophy in Nantes for Best Science Fiction Graphic Novel of 2011. We’d like to publicly congratulate them both!
