Flesk Publications

Flesk Publications www.fleskpublications.com Flesk Publications pride itself on being different. The result is a unique and individual collection produced with passion.

Since 2002, Flesk Publications has been promoting the arts through quality collections.

“The company was founded as a direct result of my desire to publish the art books I wanted to buy myself,” states publisher John Fleskes. A creative approach is pursued by exploring the aesthetics of each artist in order to design a package that serves as an extension of him or herself. Flesk produces a full l

ine of art books featuring the best of comics and graphic novels, fantasy, illustration, pinup and fine arts. Fleskes shares a passion for the arts and feels a responsibility in making sure he represents his artists with the best books possible while also raising the art form. “We hope to educate the public to expect a higher standard from publishers,” continues Fleskes. “We take our work very seriously yet enjoy the process. Whether it’s a 16-page chapbook or a 300-page oversized art book, we give each collection our full attention to meet our standards first. I have a self-drive that makes this approach a natural part of what Flesk Publications is all about. It isn’t a policy, it’s who we are.”

I was talking with Gary Gianni yesterday and discovered that I posted a pencil piece of his a few days ago that was not ready to be shown to the public. So, that post has been deleted and I'll share a different piece with you today.

We're working on a book of his pencil drawings that will be released later in 2026. Gary has picked out over 200 drawings, most of which have never been seen by the public. You're going to love it!

William Stout illustration that was published in Hellboy: Weird Tales # 3 in 2002!

We are very close to finishing William Stout Comics Volume One. We only need two full weeks of focused time to wrap it up.

As soon as we are caught up on the big batch of orders that keep coming in on our Flesk website, we will focus on Bill's book again. There are so many exciting things that will be happening in 2026!
