Famous First Edition: First printing of 10,000 numbered copies

An exhaustive compendium of marble, Afbeelding der Marmor Soorten (A Representation of Marble Types) depicted 570 samples across 100 colour plates, accompanied by texts in five languages. Published in 1776 at the peak of the Enlightenment, it is regarded, rightly, as one of the finest illustrated scientific books of the era.Over the course of the 18th century, beautiful books that categorised, annotated, and illuminated the Enlightenment pursuit of learning across Europe had become increasingly popular. Knowledge was everything and everywhere, and these books provided it for those not wealthy enough to build their own personal collections of rare and exotic objects. Marmor Soorten, one such edition, took the standards of both aesthetics and categorisation to a whole new level.Jan Christiaan Sepp and his father Christian – himself a respected collector – had already earned a reputation for luxury publications on scientific themes, starting with Christian’s own Nederlandsche Insecten (Insects of the Netherlands). But it was his son who created the visual masterpiece Marmor Soorten, revising an existing German publication from 1775 by Adam Ludwig Wirsing. The result – published in 11 instalments to a print run of around 100 – was among the finest examples of its kind.Featuring new photography to depict the intricate details of the marble samples, this edition brings an unknown treasure back to relevance. The plates, each meticulously hand-coloured and arranged with painstaking precision, have an abstract-art feel that gives this volume an almost modern slant.This edition reproduces the pages from two copies of Marmor Soorten held at the State and University Library in Dresden and the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles. Reprinting the work in full for the first time, The Book of Marble brings that rare blend of beauty and encyclopedic knowledge to a wider audience.

Eis, Eis Baby

Gerhard Richter made a 41-color [!] screenprint version of a squeegee painting as a fundraiser edition for Lincoln Center, but also as a poster. At this point, though they're literally made from the same screens on the same paper, the signed prints are selling for like 30x the posters.

"Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars" Hits 40th Anniversary in 2024

Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars from Jim Shooter, Mike Zeck, and Bob Layton was a Marvel Comics' first massive comic book crossover event. For the 40th anniversary of this milestone, Marvel Comics has a few celebrations planned - facsimile editions of Secret Wars and Amazing Spider-Man as well as a new saga set during Secret Wars!

During Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars, The Beyonder assembled Spider-Man and members of the Avengers, Fantastic Four, and X-Men on Battleworld to fight an army of villains. Meanwhile, Doctor Doom and Magneto are each hatching their own plans.

Marvel Comics is re-presenting all 12 issues of Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars as facsimile editions, meaning you get the ads and all. Each facsimile edition will also be available with new variant covers and special foil variant covers.

Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars #1 Facsimile Edition (of 12), from writer Jim Shooter and artist / cover artist Mike Zeck, goes on sale on January 3, 2024. Following issues will release monthly.

The anniversary of Secret Wars also marks the anniversary of Spider-Man's black costume, which would one day become Venom. The issue, released the same month as Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars #1, took place after the events of Secret Wars, leaving readers to guess as to the mystery of this new suit. Marvel Comics is releasing facsimile editions of Roger Stern, Tom Defalco, and Ron Frenz's Amazing Spider-Man #252 and it's following issues monthly, coinciding with the facsimile editions of Secret Wars.

Amazing Spider-Man #252 Facsimile Edition, from writers Roger Stern and Tom Defalco and artist / cover artist Ron Frenz, goes on sale on January 31, 2024.

Announced earlier this year, Marvel Comics is also releasing a new 4-issue story set during Secret Wars. Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars: Battleworld hails from writer Tom DeFalco and artist Pat Olliffe.

Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars: Battleworld takes place after Spider-Man receives the black suit. The story will also show characters not previously seen fighting in the original Secret Wars saga, characters like Baron Zemo, Hobgoblin, Electro, and Constritor.

Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars: Battleworld #1 (of 4) goes on sale on November 22, 2023. The first issue features a main cover by Giuseppe Camuncoli, a variant cover by Pat Olliffe, a variant cover by Francesco Mobili, an homage variant cover and a virgin homage variant cover by Ryan Stegman, a connecting variant cover by Todd Nauck, a Saturday Morning variant cover by Sean Galloway, and an Action Figure variant cover by John Tyler Christopher.
