Disclose Detail
Country: Flag United States Web Site: Brands: 1 Indicia Publishers: 1 Series: 22 Printings: 36 Disclose Notes: After doing a facsimile reprint of the 1945 Little Nemo in Slumberland softcover Woody Gelman began Nostalgia Press in the early 1960s. One of the earliest Nostalgia Press books was The Picture History of Charlie Chaplin (1965), designed by Gelman and showcasing a large collection of rare Chaplin memorabilia.

The first Nostalgia Press hardcover was Flash Gordon (1967), a reprint of Alex Raymond comic strips, and this book had a follow-up utilizing Flash Gordon proof sheets supplied to Gelman by the artist Al Williamson. Bill Gaines and Bhob Stewart selected 23 stories for the full-color EC Horror Comics Library of the 1950s; with introductions by Stewart and Larry Stark, this oversize (10" x 14") hardcover was published by Nostalgia Press in 1971.

Nostalgia Press continued publishing throughout the 1970s. Their last book came out in 1979, following the death of Gelman the preceding year.   Does this data need corrections? Become an editor.
