Luis Garcia was one of the most talented artists of the legendary Spanish Invasion which transformed Warren comics in the 1970s, creating artwork that was both stunningly attractive and astonishingly realistic. Garcia drew for all the Warren titles but was particularly associated with Vampirella magazine where his innovative artwork and gift for drawing beautiful women was a highlight for several years. But his career encompassed far more than just horror comics; starting off as an artist of seductive romance strips, he went on to find fame in France drawing for Pilote magazine, was a pioneer of autobiographical and political comics, created some of the earliest and most accomplished graphic novels and then changed careers completely to become a world class painter. For the first time anywhere in the world The Art of Luis Garcia brings together each phase of his career to create the first comprehensive retrospective of his amazing artwork. Each chapter details his work and life with historical analysis from artist and author David Roach (The Art of Vampirella, Masters of Spanish Comic Art), together with commentary and reminiscences from Luis Garcia himself. It is a story that brings together his life as a child prodigy in S.I.'s mythical Barcelona comic studios and working as a model for romantic fotonovela's, meeting Salvador Dali and John Lennon, moving from swinging London to Hippy Communes, hanging out at Studio 54 and teaching the techniques of Old master Painters like Velazquez. The book is illustrated throughout with some of Garcia's finest artwork, almost entirely shot from the original pages, and includes several complete stories, some translated into English for the first time. It is a fitting tribute to one of the most creative, ground-breaking artists in comics, and beyond.

History & Criticism

According to conventional wisdom, theological liberals led the Southern Baptist Convention to reject segregation and racism in the twentieth century. That's only half the story. Liberals criticized segregation before mainstream Southern Baptists. They created racially integrated ministry opportunities. They pressed the Southern Baptist Convention to reject segregation. Yet historians have discounted the role of conservative theology in the convention's shift away from racial segregation and prejudice. This book chronicles how conservative theology proved remarkably compatible with efforts toward racial justice in America's largest Protestant denomination between 1954 and 1995. At times conservative theology was even a catalyst for rejecting racial prejudice. Efforts to eradicate racism and segregation were, in fact, least successful when they appealed to the social gospel or appeared to draw from liberal theology.

Product Description According to conventional wisdom, theological liberals led the Southern Baptist Convention to reject segregation and racism in the twentieth century. That's only half the story. Liberals criticized segregation before mainstream Southern Baptists. They created racially integrated ministry opportunities. They pressed the Southern Baptist Convention to reject segregation. Yet historians have discounted the role of conservative theology in the convention's shift away from racial segregation and prejudice. This book chronicles how conservative theology proved remarkably compatible with efforts toward racial justice in America's largest Protestant denomination between 1954 and 1995. At times conservative theology was even a catalyst for rejecting racial prejudice. Efforts to eradicate racism and segregation were, in fact, least successful when they appealed to the social gospel or appeared to draw from liberal theology. Review "Roach has rendered a valuable service to Southern Baptists and all Americans who are interested in a deeper understanding of how the nation's longest Protestant denomination reckoned with their besetting problem of racism in their history and how they ultimately apologized for not having dealt with it more biblically in previous generations. Having been privileged to be a participant in the last chapter of the period Roach covers in his book, I can vouch for both his accuracy and his insight."--Richard Land, President emeritus, Southern Evangelical Seminary"Roach provides a well-written, engaging overview of racial integration in the Southern Baptist Convention during the latter half of the twentieth century. He traces the impact of arguments drawn from a conservative biblical perspective and contrasts them with the ineffectiveness of arguments derived from a sociological perspective. Anyone interested in discussing racial issues within the SBC will find this book helpful."--Lloyd A. Harsch, Associate Dean of Theological and Historical Studies, New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary"This book tells an important story and tells it well. It is based on wide, careful research and is thoughtfully argued. It makes a vitally important contribution to the history of racism and segregation in the Southern Baptist Convention, and of its all-too-gradual rejection of those commitments. Roach is to be congratulated on a job well done."--Gregory A. Wills, Research Professor of Church History, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary About the Author David Roach (PhD, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary) is a historian, journalist, and preacher in Nashville, Tennessee. His writings have appeared in Christianity Today, Baptist Press, and numerous Baptist state papers.

Few rugby players have matched the achievements of Welshman Mervyn Davies, the shrewd, gutsy number 8 with the heart of a lion. In what was a remarkable career, he won 2 Grand Slams, 3 Triple Crowns, earned 38 consecutive Wales caps, was captain of his national team, and played in 2 victorious Lions tours. From the tail end of the 1960s through the first half of the glorious '70s period, "Merv the Swerve" cut an iconic figure in the world's great rugby arenas. Teammates and opponents respected him, fans loved him, and he was a natural leader of men both on and off the field.
