St. Helena


Description

The town of St. Helena lies in the heart of Napa Valley, America's celebrated wine-producing region located 63 miles north of San Francisco. In 1854, Henry Still and a Mr. Walters purchased 126 acres from the Mexican land grant of Dr. Edward Bale. They offered free lots to anyone who would start a business there, having the foresight to predict a flourishing town in this verdant agricultural area. Premium wine grapes were planted here by the 1870s, and a thriving wine industry began. There are two theories about how the town got its name: either from the local division of the Sons of Temperance or from Mount St. Helena at the northern end of the valley. As the town developed, its residents, along with those from nearby Oakville, Rutherford, Angwin, and Pope Valley, shopped at its stores, attended its churches and schools, tended its fields, and made merry at numerous gatherings. This book captures these activities in photographs dating from 1880 to 1960.

How did it get there? Everyone wonders - but nobody knows. Then, out from the shadows steps Stella. She climbs onto the bus and, in a moment, sees everything that it could become: 'This bus could be ours', she says. And so, the lonely old bus - with the help of some colourful graffiti - becomes a hub of activity! Mike Deodato made a big splash in the mid-'90s with a style combining a solid grasp of anatomy; layouts bristling with dynamic energy; and brash, trendsetting qualities that set him apart as a visionary that Marvel could build around for the rest of the decade and beyond. With his startling work on Warren Ellis' Thor setting the pace, Deodato's later triumphs on Incredible Hulk, Amazing Spider-Man and Thunderbolts set the stage for his jaw-dropping visuals on Dark Avengers. The Marvel Art of Mike Deodato celebrates the vibrant and vital career of one of comics' elite artists with St. Helena free download pdf a bounty of interior art, character sketches and unpublished work, as well as selection of Mike's best cover art.
