Books Update: Steranko’s Domino Lady
*Crime, Spies & Sleaze: Again, just one book this week, but another goodie! From 2004, Vanguard’s Domino Lady, the Steranko deluxe signed slipcase edition. An A4-sized hardcover, with covers, design, title page illustrations and a glorious 15 page full colour art deco portfolio by the great man, capturing the feel of the pulp era in which the Domino Lady first appeared. Also included are several interior illustrations from the original pulps. Okay, so Domino Lady may not have been high art, but at Steranko’s hands, she becomes an iconic talisman of the literature of a bygone era. Only 750 copies of this edition were printed. The book itself is NM, the slipcase VF/NM with the slightest dink to one corner. You won’t see many of these for sale in the world, let alone the UK, but a must for the Steranko completist at £75. The book cover is so high gloss that the image shown here doesn’t really do it justice!
