Richard and Sabina is a biography of the Reverend Richard Wumbrand and his wife Sabina. &nbsp;Both were born to Jewish families in Romania. &nbsp;Richard received little formal education but was an avid reader. &nbsp;Sabina, after two years of study at the Sorbonne in Paris, met and married Richard who shortly after developed tuberculosis. &nbsp;He convalesced in the Carpathian mountains where he came in contact with a Bible and accepted Christ as the Messiah. &nbsp;After Richard's baptism, Sabina, having been raised by Orthodox Jews, went through a severe crisis but finally converted.While Romania was under the control of the Nazis, the Wurmbrands managed to survive but Sabina's family, except for two brothers in Paris, was annihilated in the Holocaust. Their real suffering came when the Communists gained control of Romania. &nbsp;At the Congress of Cults, all clergy having been summoned, Richard, at the urging of Sabina, defied the government and preached Christ. &nbsp;He spent 14 years under torture in prison. &nbsp;Sabina spent three years as a slave laborer helping to build the Danube Canal. &nbsp;Their son Michael was assisted by friends. &nbsp;When not in jail, the Wurmbrands held "underground" Christian services. &nbsp;Richard had taken some courses at a school of theology and was ordained as a Lutheran minister.A Norwegian mission bought Richard from the Communists for $10,000 and the three Wurmbrands escaped to Norway. &nbsp;The mission sent them to the United States to preach the evils of Communism. &nbsp;They preached but mostly to deaf ears as the West was trying to accommodate Communism. &nbsp;Richard had a tussle at a pro-communist meeting in Philadelphia. &nbsp;It was reported in a newspaper. &nbsp;Connecticut Senator Dodd read the article and invited Richard to testify before his committee at which worldwide media were present. &nbsp;As a result Richard was invited to speak throughout the world on all continents and major islands. &nbsp;While doing so he founded an organization which later became known as The Voice of the Martyrs whose purpose is to give aid to persecuted Christians everywhere.

A collection of the rare '50s pinups that led to the artist's final gig, as Playboy's first star cartoonist. In the rarefied realm of classic cartoon pin-up art, nobody did it better than Jack Cole. With his quirky line drawings and sensual watercolors, Cole, under Hugh Hefner's guiding hand, catapulted to stardom in the 1950s as Playboy's marquee cartoonist, a position he held until his untimely death at the age of 43. Jack Cole, most recently the subject of a book profile by Art Spiegelman and Chip Kidd (Jack Cole and Plastic Man: Forms Stretched To Their Limits) has been justly celebrated as the creator of Plastic Man and an innovative comic book artist of the 1940s. Cole had sold a handful of cartoons to magazines such as Boy's Life, Colliers and Judge in the '30s and '40s, but after finishing his 14-year run on Plastic Man, he found himself back at square one in an idiom that didn't come naturally to him: the gag cartoon. According to Cole, his savior was the Humorama line of down-market digest magazines. This girls and gags magazine circuit proved to be the perfect training ground to regain his footing and develop his craft at single panel cartoons. While Cole may have been honing his skills as a gag writer, his ability to render the female form was already without peer. Though he signed his cartoons "Jake," Cole's exquisite line drawings and masterful use of ink-washa skill he carried over Playboy betrayed his pseudonym. In comparison to his contemporaries, however, Cole was probably Humorama's least prolific artist. Though his images were frequently used for covers, Cole's cartoons were few and far between, with scarcely a single drawing appearing every five issues. Along with a foreword by Warner Brothers Animation designer Shane Glines, this volume collects the best of these hidden gems, including several shot from Cole's stunning original art. Most of these drawings have not seen print in more than 50 years; taken together, they provide a rare glimpse into the singular artistry of Jack Cole.

by Jack Cole Having mastered comic books and gag cartoons, in 1958, nearly two decades after he unveiled Plastic Man to the world, Jack Cole set his sights on the cartoonist's pot of gold - a syndicated newspaper strip. He hit the bull's-eye with Betsy and Me, a breezy domestic farce focusing on a middle-class urban couple and their smart-aleck genius son. Betsy and Me was an instant success and newspapers were lining up to buy it. Then, with only two-and-a-half month's worth of strips completed, Cole purchased a .22 caliber pistol and ended his life. R.C. Harvey's insightful introduction serves as a biographical sketch, and sheds light on the circumstances surrounding Cole's suicide.
