1987Best.-Nr. 238301987. Ivan Velez Jr.'s Tales of the Closet issues 1 through 8 1987 to 1992 follows eight gay and lesbian teenagers in Queens through isolation family violence homophobia racism health pregnancy religion drug use and the fear of being outed. Published by the Hetrick Martin Institute as an educational comic for gay and lesbian young adults the series placed Puerto Rican Black white and Asian American teenagers within the same continuing narrative at a point when AIDS suicide and family rejection shaped the Institute's work with queer youth. Tony Vega Ramona Sinclair Mary Ryan Kyle Hooks Shorty Mancini Scott Lind Jenny Chin and Benjamin Kanas recur across the series allowing Velez to address sexuality alongside race class religion gender and family life through characters whose relationships develop from issue to issue. The present group contains the first eight consecutive issues of the nine issues eventually published between 1987 and 1993 lacking only the final issue and preserves nearly the entire original Hetrick Martin Institute run before Velez later returned to the work in collected form. Velez Jr. Ivan writer and artist. Tales of the Closet. New York: Hetrick Martin Institute 1987 to 1992. Near complete run of eight consecutive comic issues nos. 1 through 8 of nine published. 8vo. Original pictorial wrappers with black and white illustrated interiors. Velez's cover scenes range from the eight central teenagers carrying placards to figures confronting brick walls shattered surfaces urban streets and other graphic expressions of confinement and conflict. Interior thematic title pages organize individual installments around social problems encountered by the recurring cast and Hetrick Martin Institute publication statements identify the series as a "Graphic Book" project associated with lesbian and gay youth suicide prevention. The first issue dated "Summerfall 1987" bears the interior heading "isolation"; subsequent issues carry the narrative through themes including health pregnancy and religion. Issue no. 5 opens its "pregnancy" section with named character portraits and recounts friendships formed amid secrecy fear and threatened violence while no. 6 describes the protagonists as "a tight knit group of friends" confronting religion drug abuse and suicide. The Hetrick Martin Institute had been working with lesbian and gay youth in New York before Velez began Tales of the Closet and the comic translated that institutional mission into serialized narrative directed toward teenagers themselves. Contemporary coverage from the period describes Tales as written and drawn by Velez and following a multiracial multiethnic group of eight gay and lesbian teenagers while the series' original publication context placed copies directly within the Institute's youth outreach work. Velez's decision to sustain the same ensemble across multiple years gave subjects ordinarily isolated in educational literature a shared social setting: Tony's Puerto Rican family conflict Ramona's experience as a Black lesbian and the lives of Mary Kyle Shorty Scott Jenny and Benjamin allow questions of sexuality to unfold amid racial identity reproductive crisis religion violence addiction friendship and unstable family relationships. The AIDS crisis forms part of the immediate setting in which those subjects were being presented to young readers while suicide prevention appears within the publication program itself rather than as retrospective interpretation. The series remained unfinished after nine issues ending before Velez could publish the planned conclusion; he subsequently began collecting the original comics in 2005 with the intention of completing the narrative. Light toning to pulp paper stock as expected with minor edge wear rubbing and softening to corners; pictorial wrappers remain bright. Overall very good condition. A near complete consecutive run of the Hetrick Martin Institute's graphic outreach to lesbian and gay teenagers preserving eight years of Velez's recurring Queens cast as they confront queer adolescence during the AIDS crisis through a medium produced expressly for young readers. unknown

Best.-Nr. 61834Coletiva 2013. Hardcover 250 pages ENG / POR 260 x 200 x 27 mm NEW illustrated in colour / b/w. ISBN 9788599247303. The book Paulo Climachuska from the series Arte e Tecnologia sponsored by Oi Futuro presents the work of artist Paulo Climachuska with texts by Alberto Saraiva Fernando AQ Mota and Tales Ab'Sáber. The book is part of the "Paulo Climachuska Re-subtractions" project which included the Oi Futuro Flamengo exhibition and marked a new stage in the artist's career in which the use of subtraction beads as a line - a feature that has become an icon has become his work has been replaced by references to games and clocks. In these works Climachauska deepens her exploration of rationalism and mathematical precision incorporating chance and time into her conceptual universe. In it he returns to numerical systems which he sees as order and regulation of the world but without clear figures. Coletiva 2013 hardcover

1706Best.-Nr. 87605Nürnberg: Joh. Leonhard Buggel 1706. Second edition. First published 1701; reissued by the same publisher under revised title in 1718. 12mo 125cm. 19th-c. mottled calf over marbled boards; gilt spine title; 123146pp; engraved extra-title. Pressure-stamp of a 20th-century owner to base of title page David B. Dickens. Two small ink-spots to the engraved extra-title; mild age-darkening to text but overall a very clean and attractive copy. Very Good. Text entirely in German. Uncommon collection of brief parables and humorous vignettes each intended to illustrate a particular virtue vice or crime - Rejuvenation Kindness Friendship Industry; Superstition Jealousy Fratricide Adultery etc - built around the author's conceit of a book organized as a pleasure-garden wherein "Just as a garden lover tired from office business and worries is refreshed again and.comes alive when he strolls around in his sweet-smelling flower field picking a little flower here and there.so a person recovers his spirits when he occasionally devotes an hour to reading various moral stories picking their morals as he would flowers and fruits and applying their beneficial use." from the author's Foreword; translation ours. Apparently the only published work by Caspar Blanckard to whom we can find no reference beyond his authorship of the current work. Very scarce; OCLC and KVK find only three physical locations for any edition; we note another apparently unindexed copy in the Harold Jantz Collection of at Duke University. This copy from the collection of David B. Dickens long-time professor of German Language and Literature at Washington & Lee University. Joh. Leonhard Buggel unknown
