The first comprehensive retrospective of one of the greatest artists of the 20th Century, who began his career as one of the most innovative comic book creators of his generation. A gigantic retrospective/biography/critical assessment of one of the most important cartoonists in the history of comics, who went on to become a renowned fine artist and teacher in New York. The author had full access to Bernard Krigstein's archives and files and has written a compelling biography of the artist from his childhood in New York to his days as a comics artist from the late '40s to the early '60s, and through his post-comics career as a fine artist, commercial illustrator, and teacher. Krigstein is renowned as one of the great innovators working within the commercial comics industry: his story about a Nazi commandant, Master Race, published by the legendary EC Comics, is studied in college courses and considered one of the most fascinating formal experiments in comics. This book reproduces many of Krigstein's comics stories as well as many of his commercial assignments (such as the line of paperback covers he did for the reissues of Joyce Cary's novels) as well as his fine art paintings. Most of this work has never been seen outside its original publication. Most of the comics stories are obscure and have not been reprinted since their initial publication (mostly from the '50s) and his fine art has only appeared in galleries and exhibitions. Krigstein (1919-1990), classically trained in Fine Art, was a Brooklyn-born painter who was one of the first practitioners who approached comics with the respect, integrity, and psychological depth of a serious artist. After an innovative and contentious decade, he was forced to abandon the field due to its narrow-minded and formulaic tendencies, which continue to this day. This first of two volumes traces Krigstein's groundbreaking comic-book work at Hillman, Atlas, DC, and EC, as well as his parallel development as an illustrator and painter.

LOVE BARK TOYS!!!
Color: Rad Herring - Medium
I got this toy for my 1yr old Husky/Heeler/(possibly)GSD (approx 42lbs) mix when she came to our home mid/late October of 2025 and the toy lasted until December 3rd 2025 when we had to assist her with opening the fabric to get the toy on the inside. It was a great fun toy for her and the inside toys still is and she loves playing with it. The durability of both the outside and inside toys are great for super chewers! I was glad there was no stuffing because I had gotten her a plush toy once before and she destroyed that immediately. The fabric on this was durable enough to withstand her chewing yet soft enough that it didn’t hurt her teeth. The colors were vibrant and fun for both toys even though wear and tear kinda took some of the fabric color away. I would definitely buy this again once the inside toy is no longer safe for her, especially since the size was perfect for her too.

Good ball for strong chewers
Color: Cheeze Brawl - Large, Color: Cheeze Brawl - Large
My dog loves this ball except the outside fur gets gross really quickly. However, it’s easy to cutoff and underneath is a strong squeaky ball. It’s like two gifts in one. He’s a very heavy chewer and the ball lasts quite a bit.

Take the skin off and get the right size for your dog’s weight!
Color: Panda Bear - Large, Color: Panda Bear - Large
This review is specifically for the panda toy. My dog is a super chewer and will literally go through any normal toy, even the ones labeled for aggressive chewers, within a few hours at most. He’s about to be 10 years old and this is the first time he’s ever had a toy that lasted as long as it has. I wanna mention the outer layer he almost immediately chewed through. To me, it wasn’t worth the fear of him dealing through pieces so I just took the whole “skin” off. However, he’s safely had this for 2 months with no issues and heavy daily chewing until he finally broke it apart. So if you have a super chewer, make sure to get the size appropriate for your dog’s weight and take the “skin” off and you’re left with a quality toy that will stick around! Pictured is a set of 2 new toys of the same variety since he finally chewed through his last batch lol

My dog loves this toy but…
Color: Grey Bear - Large
This toy has many pros and cons, but it’s my dogs all time favorite toy so I have to give it 4 stars. Pro:My German Shepard loves this toy, it has no squeaker and she hates squeakers, so she hasn’t tried to destroy it. It’s the perfect size for a large ball. She likes to throw her toys and this one has a pretty decent bounce to it so she can entertain herself. Cons: the inside is hard rubber, she likes to throw her toys and it hurts when she hits you with it or drops it on your feet. Also a huge hazard to windows and anything breakable.
