The true story behind the most famous movie monologue of them all...

A strictly limited edition of 300 hand-numbered sets for sale.

A5 format, 40pp, c10,000 words, printed on silk paper stock, including a cover printed on Tintoretto Gesso paper. 

Each chapbook is presented with a print on heavy laid paper of Steve White's new artwork 'The Fifth Day', signed by the artist.

"You were on the Indianapolis?" 

Hooper's question is followed by the most famous movie monologue of them all, as Quint relates, in mesmerising detail, what it was like to survive the sinking of his ship during World War Two. Now, to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Jaws, comes this in-depth look at the historical event that inspired the speech: the secret mission of the US Navy Portland-class heavy cruiser USS Indianapolis in July 1945, its sinking by the Japanese submarine I-58, and the terrible tale of blood in the water that followed...

Writer and artist Steve White provides the backstory to both the creation of the speech, and the history of the Indianapolis's final voyage, alongside a signed print of his new artwork, 'The Fifth Day'.

A must for all Jaws fans!

Our previous limited editions have all sold out, so don't miss out on this one...

The Slave Race, featuring Philip K. Dick's first SF tale (not in his Collected Stories), sold out in a matter of days (details here).

Our two Lawrence of Arabia titles (see details here and here), were described by the T. E. Lawrence Society as "a very beautiful publication" and "a valuable piece of ephemera for your collection". 

Gods of Darkness, F. Scott Fitzgerald's never-previously-reprinted tale of a Lovecraftian witch cult (yes, you read that right) was an instant sell-out (see here).

The 50th anniversary souvenir An Appointment with The Wicker Man (see here) sold out quickly, as did the limited edition of a horror story by Sharon Gosling, Slow Progress (see here).

No copies remain of At the Door of Darkness, a forgotten episode from Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, deleted from the published version, and reconstructed from the original manuscript. Details here.

250 numbered copies of Dracula's Forgotten Brides, a heavily illustrated monograph about Dorothy Tree, Geraldine Dvorak and Cornelia Thaw, the actresses who played opposite Bela Lugosi in Dracula (1931), quickly found new homes around the world. Details here.

A monograph on The Croglin Vampire, perhaps the earliest of England's vampire legends, similarly was rapidly dispatched to various continents. Details here. 

Finally, a set of two rediscovered tales by the creators of Frankenstein and Dracula, Mary Shelley and Bram Stoker, faded into the mists... Details here.

You may be able to find copies of some of the above on the secondary market, where they tend to attract prices markedly higher than the original rrp... 

ABOUT STEVE WHITE

Giving up a burgeoning career in science, Steve started at Marvel’s UK office on April 1st 1986.  His first credit was as colourist on Care Bears, which made his mum very proud. Since then he has worked as an editor for Marvel UK, Tundra UK and Titan Comics, as well as writing, illustrating, inking and colouring numerous and varied titles including not just comics but children’s non-fiction. He has also edited a line of artbooks for Titan Books, including the critically acclaimed Dinosaur Art: The World’s Greatest Paleoart.

He has also been drawing since he was old enough to lift a pencil and is now illustrating on a professional basis. He has been called the ‘John Milius of Paleoart’ as a result of his dynamic approach to illustrating his preferred subject matter; this now includes not just dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals, but marine life (as a result of a lifelong passion for sharks).

His greatest influences include: Bernie Wrightson, Frank Frazetta, N.C. Wyeth, Howard Pyle, Gustav Dore, Doug Henderson, Greg Paul and comic artists too numerous to mention.
