Krigstein\u003c\/em\u003e is the first comprehensive retrospective of one of the greatest artists of the 20th Century. \u003cstrong\u003eBernard Krigstein\u003c\/strong\u003e was also one of the most important cartoonists in the history of comics and innovative comic book creators of his generation. He went on to become a renowned fine artist and teacher in New York. The author, \u003cstrong\u003eGreg Sadowski\u003c\/strong\u003e, having full access to Krigstein's archives and files, has written a compelling biography of the artist from his childhood in New York to his days as a comic artist through the late '40s to the early '60s, and his post-comics career as a fine artist and commercial illustrator.\n\nVolume 1 includes 5 digitally restored comics stories (re-colored by Marie Severin) as well as some of Krigstein's commercial assignments (such as the line of paperback covers he did for the reissues of Joyce Cary's novels). It also includes a few fine art paintings. Most of this work has never been seen outside its original publication. The comics stories  from the 50s are obscure and have not been reprinted since their initial publication.\n\n\u003cb\u003eOut Of Print.
