Joshua Williamson: The Flash 1 – Lightning Strikes Twice
His name is Barry Allen, and he’s the Fastest Man Alive.
But he’s also so much more. As he learns more about the Speed Force that fuels his incredible powers, the Flash is also discovering secrets about his past beyond anything he’d ever dreamed-how he created a Flashpoint that changed history and helped create a new world, watched over by forces unknown.
And when the same Speed Force that flows through him is unleashed all over Central City, striking cops, criminals and ordinary civilians alike, it’s up to the Flash to train this new wave of speedsters to use their amazing abilities wisely.
But while some may become his partners in crime-fighting-forming a true “Speed Force”-others will use their godlike powers for a more sinister purpose. And the Flash is about to learn that there’s some evil even he can’t outrun…
Minä Taikaviitta“Minä Aku Ankka” on ehkäpä Suomen kaikkien aikojen tunnetuin sarjakuvakirja.
Minä Taikaviitta tuo uljaaseen jättikirjasarjaan uuden ulottuvuuden, Akun salaisen alter egon eli supersankari Taikaviitan!

The most anticipated issue to date of Seth’s iconic comics digest, Palookaville 23 marks the culmination of twenty years of serialization: here, Clyde Fans comes to a conclusion.
In this final chapter, we return to Simon Matchcard and the year 1957—exactly where we left off at the end of the first Clyde Fans volume.
After his disastrous attempt at sales in the city of Dominion, we witness the out of body experience and ecstatic “vision” that sets Simon on his path of lonely isolation in the years to come.
But of course that’s not all—an issue of Palookaville always feels a bit like coming home— a comforting structure that promises new surprises and updates on old favourites.
The next installment in Seth’s memoir, Nothing Lasts, follows him from late childhood to his high school years, from innocent crushes to adolescent brooding, all told with what has become Seth’s signature anecdotal approach to autobiography.
Readers will also be privy to highlights of Seth’s exquisite fine-art practice—paintings and drawings from two recent gallery exhibitions which transport us back to an era where style was snappier, moldings more orate.
As always, the three-part digest is carefully designed by Seth in a callback to classic 1940s textural book design. From one of Canada’s greatest artists, Palookaville 23 offers closure, while evoking excitement about what’s to come.
Vesa Vitikainen: Isku Porkkalaan
1940-luvun lopulla sodat ovat ohi, mutta taistelu jatkuu.
Suomalainen yhteiskunta kokoaa itseään ja panostaa jälleenrakentamiseen. Neuvostokomennon alaisena olevalla Porkkalan alueella piilotellaan jotakin todella vaarallista, kenties atomipommia?

Neuvostoliitto ei arvosta asioihinsa puuttumista, käskyn käytyä turvallisuuspoliisi eli ns. Punainen Valpo lähtee tutkimaan Marskin ryhmän aikeita. Mutta onko atomipommi sittenkään edes pahin paha, mikä Porkkalassa piilee?
Käsikirjoittaja Vesa Vitikaisella on laaja suomalaisen historian tuntemus. Hän on sovittanut useiden legendaaristen suomalaisten sotasankarien elämäkerrat sarjakuviksi. Kuvitteellista Isku Porkkalaan -seikkailutarinaa varten Vitikainen on koonnut todella kovan tekijäjoukon.

Charlier & Giraud: Blueberry – Kenraali Kultatukka/Kadonnut kaivos/Kultaluoteja ampuva aave
Charlierin ja Giraudin luoma luutnantti Blueberry on yksi kaikkien aikojen maineikkaimpia lännensarjakuvia.
Omapäisestä mutta oikeudenmukaisesta sisällissodan upseerista kertova sarja tunnetaan moniulotteisista tarinoistaan sekä upeasta taiteestaan.
Kertomuksessa Kenraali Kultatukka Blueberry joutuu todistamaan verenhimoisen kenraali McAllisterin ja ahtaalle ajettujen intiaanien hirvittävää taistelua.
Kadonnut kaivos ja Kultaluoteja ampuva aave muodostavat kaksiosaisen tarinakokonaisuuden, jossa Blueberry ystävineen jahtaa petollista kullankaivajaa sekä kovapintaisia palkkionmetsästäjiä halki armottoman aavikon.
Sarjakuvien lisäksi kirjassa on kattava artikkeli Blueberrystä sekä runsaasti Giraudin laatimaa oheiskuvitusta, jota ei aiemmin ole Suomessa julkaistu.
Ryan Browne: God Hates Astronauts 1 – The Head That Wouldn’t Die!
GOD HATES ASTRONAUTS follows the story of a group of incompetent, small-minded, super powered narcissists called “The Power Persons Five” who are hired by NASA to stop all farmers from launching themselves into space in homemade rocket ships.
Unfortunately for NASA, this goal is scarcely even addressed and the book focuses more on extramarital affairs, bank-robbing owls, big gross swollen heads, ghost cow heads, olde tyme boxers, tigers eating cheeseburgers in the Crab Nebula, buffalo judges and tons of aggressive swearing.
Not so much a superhero book as it is a parody of basically everything and a celebration of weird that is jam-packed with references to RoboCop and Die Hard.
Jorma Pitkänen: Jopen juhlakirja
Kuvatyön sankari, sarjakuvan stahanovilainen Jorma Jope Pitkänen on saavuttanut miehen iän. 70 ikävuoteen mahtuu muun elämän ja elämöinnin ohella 40 000 julkaistua sarjakuvaa.
Se on maailman mittaluokassakin uskomaton luku.
Jopen hahmot eivät ole sarjakuvasankareita vaan antisankareita: vastarannan kiiskiä, omissa heikkouksissaan rypeviä tyyppejä, jotka kiskovat itseään suosta savolaisen vääräleukaisuuden voimalla. Näkymätön Viänänen on pontikkaa keittävä pirttiviljelijä, kirjaimellisesti näkymätön tapaus yhteiskunnan laitamailta. Lempi on monissa liemissä keitetty evakkomummo, jonka suuta ei kuolemakaan tukkinut. Naapurin koira Lyyti haukkuu tasapuolisesti kaikki.
Täsmätarpeisiin suunniteltuja sarjoja eri alojen ja alueiden lehtiin on kymmeniä: Kisko, Paperitiikeri, Vossikka, Muikku-Koponen, Mauno Mansikka… Edes taiteilijaeläkkeen saaminen ei pysäyttänyt tehtailua. Jopen Juhlakirja on tiivistelmä yli 40 vuoden jälkeenkin jatkuvasta urasta.
Kirjan ovat toimittaneet Ville Hänninen, Vesa Kataisto ja Kari Puikkonen.
“Savolaiselle ei pitäisi koskaan antaa kynää ja paperia käteen, siitä meikäläinen on varottava esimerkki.” – JOPE

Thi Bui: The Best We Could DoThis beautifully illustrated and emotional story is an evocative memoir about the search for a better future and a longing for the past.
Exploring the anguish of immigration and the lasting effects that displacement has on a child and her family, Bui documents the story of her family’s daring escape after the fall of South Vietnam in the 1970s, and the difficulties they faced building new lives for themselves.
At the heart of Bui’s story is a universal struggle: While adjusting to life as a first-time mother, she ultimately discovers what it means to be a parent—the endless sacrifices, the unnoticed gestures, and the depths of unspoken love.
Despite how impossible it seems to take on the simultaneous roles of both parent and child, Bui pushes through. With haunting, poetic writing and breathtaking art, she examines the strength of family, the importance of identity, and the meaning of home.

Do you love networking to advance your career?
Is adulthood an exciting new challenge for which you feel fully prepared? Ugh. Please go away.

They document the wasting of entire beautiful weekends on the internet, the unbearable agony of holding hands on the street with a gorgeous guy, and dreaming all day of getting home and back into pajamas. In other words, the horrors and awkwardnesses of young modern life. Oh and they are totally not autobiographical.
At all.
Adulthood Is a Myth presents many fan favorites plus dozens of all-new comics exclusive to this book. Like the work of fellow Millennial authors Allie Brosh, Grace Helbig, and Gemma Correll, Sarah’s frankness on personal issues like body image, self-consciousness, introversion, relationships, and the frequency of bra-washing makes her comics highly relatable and deeply hilarious.

Robert Crumb: The Life and Death of Fritz the Cat
Robert Crumb’s first great character — rivaled only by Mr. Natural — was Fritz the Cat, the horny hip-talking, feline, whose success (especially after the release of the 1972 Ralph Bakshi animated movie, which Crumb loathed) is back in print as an inexpensive hardcover and as a companion to The Book of Mr. Natural.
It contains all the Fritz stories from teh earliest sketchbook-drawn tales (“Hey, Ol’ Cat!” and “Fritz Comes on Strong”), to the wild adventure stories (“Special Agent for the C.I.A.”), all the way to the despairing “Fritz the Cat, Superstar,” with its infamous ice-pick ending, Plus, an introduction by Crumb, sketchbook pages, and more.
Andrea Pazienza: ZanardiAndrea Pazienza was part of a group of Italian cartoonists and illustrators who pioneered a breakthrough approach to comics in Italy, comparable to what Moebius did at Les Humanoïdes Associés with Métal Hurlant in France and Robert Crumb with Zap in the U.S.
Pazienza was a true visionary, with a fluid line and an uncanny sense of color and composition, and his innovative graphic style served up stories that were iconoclastic, outrageous, humorous, and deeply personal, often based on himself and his microcosm of friends and collaborators.
Zanardi portrays a lost generation of late-1970s/early-1980s teenagers, coping with family problems, school, sex, and drugs — a universal tale in many Western countries.
Pazienza was a revolutionary cartoonist who ushered an underground sensibility to Italian and European comics, breaking from the more staid tradition of genteel adult (and children’s) graphic albums. Pazienza has never been translated and published in English — until now.
Fantagraphics is proud to introduce American (and English-speaking) readers to this blazingly honest cartoonist of international stature.

Joe Orlando: The Thing from the Grave and Other Stories
This special collection features more than 30 EC classics from the pages of Tales From the Crypt, The Haunt of Fear, The Vault of Horror, Shock SuspenStories, Impact, and Crime SuspenStories.
Of special note is Orlando’s “The Monkey,” the classic realistic EC story about drug addiction, considered to be one of the most cautionary of “the preachies,” and Orlando’s adaptation of Bradbury’s eerily haunting “The Lake,” about a childhood tragedy.
This volume also includes the title story “The Thing From the Grave,” a special Orlando frightfest originally printed in 3-D that hasn’t been seen since its original publication more than 60 years ago (and is presented here for the first time in easy-on-the-eyes 2-D).
Plus all of Orlando’s Panic stories, including parodies of Mother Goose, TV commercials, and soap operas. Like every book in the Fantagraphics EC Artists’ Library, The Thing From the Grave And Other Stories also features essays and notes by EC experts on these superbly crafted, classic American comics.
Erik Kriek: In the Pines – 5 Murder Ballads
The murder ballad holds a rock-solid position in US roots music and the Great American Songbook for decades.
Telling the stories of sometimes true and often not-so-true-crimes and other horrific events, they are raw stories full of unrequited love, betrayal, life, and death.
The song form stems from the Anglo-Saxon ballad tradition, where stories were orally passed on to a mostly illiterate population.
Dutch cartoonist Erik Kriek was inspired by five old and new murder ballads — including songs by modern masters such as Nick Cave, Steve Earle, and Gillian Welch — and used them as a launching point for five special and ruthless graphic narratives that dig deep into the darkness of Americana, in which guns and religion maintain an uneasy balance.
Joe Orlando: Judgment Day and Other Stories
Joe Orlando was a mainstay at EC, especially on science fiction, and this collects 23 of his best SF stories.
All of them, most scripted by Al Feldstein, serve up classic O. Henry-style endings, such as “I, Robot,” and “Fallen Idol.”
The title story is one of EC’s most famous, with its blunt anti-racism message. When it was printed during the era of the Comics Code, publisher Bill Gaines and Feldstein had to fight to keep the story’s final panel “reveal” (and thus its whole point) intact. It was a Pyrrhic victory, however, as “Judgment Day” became the last story in the last comic book EC published.
This volume also features two of Orlando’s outstanding adaptations of classic Ray Bradbury science fiction stories: “The Long Year” and “Outcast of the Stars.” Also included are all of EC’s “Adam Link” adaptations, a series which was later also adapted for The Outer Limits TV show and featured Leonard Nimoy.
Charles Forsman: The End of the Fucking World
TEotFW follows James and Alyssa, two teenagers living a seemingly typical teen experience as they face the fear of coming adulthood.
Forsman tells their story through each character’s perspective, jumping between points of view with each chapter.
But quickly, this somewhat familiar teenage experience takes a more nihilistic turn as James’s character exhibits a rapidly forming sociopathy that threatens both of their futures.
He harbors violent fantasies and begins to act on them, while Alyssa remains as willfully ignorant for as long as she can, blinded by young love.
Forsman’s story highlights the disdain, fear and existential search that many teenagers fear, but through a road trip drama that owes as much to Badlands as The Catcher in the Rye.
Forsman’s inviting, Charles Schulz-influenced style lends a deadpan quality that underscores the narrative’s tension.
The End of the Fucking World was one of the most talked-about graphic novels of 2013. Now that the world is ending, it’s sure to become the most talked-about graphic novel of 2017.
Katie Skelly: My Pretty Vampire
Clover — the “pretty” vampire of the title — is a Bardot-esque blonde who dreams of the (now dead) girl she once was four years ago before becoming a fanged bloodsucker.
She is being kept prisoner by her brother, Marcel, who fears Clover will be hunted by the outside world (and who may have other, more selfish motivations as well). Clover’s curiosity, however, will not be suppressed: impetuous, sensual, strong-willed, and fearless, she plans her escape. The resultant havoc would make Dario Argento proud.
My Pretty Vampire is a sexy, sophisticated horror romp that heralds author Katie Skelly as a powerful voice in comics.
Her inherently sexy work wears its colorful Pop sensibility and keen fashion sense on its sleeve; that her strong visual style and sex-positive attitude is in the service of such strong female characters and emotionally rich work makes for a wonderfully moody, progressive, and engaging read.
Lewis Trondheim & Brigitte Findakly: Poppies of Iraq
Poppies of Iraq is Brigitte Findakly’s nuanced tender chronicle of her relationship with her homeland Iraq, co-written and drawn by her husband, the acclaimed cartoonist Lewis Trondheim.
In spare and elegant detail, they share memories of her middle class childhood touching on cultural practices, the education system, Saddam Hussein’s state control, and her family’s history as Orthodox Christians in the arab world. Poppies of Iraq is intimate and wide-ranging; the story of how one can become separated from one’s homeland and still feel intimately connected yet ultimately estranged.
Signs of an oppressive regime permeate a seemingly normal life: magazines arrive edited by customs; the color red is banned after the execution of General Kassim; Baathist militiamen are publicly hanged and school kids are bussed past them to bear witness.
As conditions in Mosul worsen over her childhood, Brigitte’s father is always hopeful that life in Iraq will return to being secular and prosperous. The family eventually feels compelled to move to Paris, however, where Brigitte finds herself not quite belonging to either culture.
Trondheim brings to life Findakly’s memories to create a poignant family portrait that covers loss, tragedy, love, and the loneliness of exile.
Jacques Tardi & Leo Malet: Fog Over Tolbiac Bridge
Paris, 1950s.
Nestor Burma’s past comes knocking when a young gypsy woman leads him to a hospital where he discovers a recently deceased old buddy from his anarchist days.
While Burma has chosen to move onto the (more or less) straight and narrow as a private eye, his friend had stayed on the other side of the law as a counterfeiter and worse. So now it’s up to Burma to avenge his friend, keep the girl safe, and hopefully unravel a mystery whose roots run far and deep back into the past…
Fog Over Tolbiac Bridge is the first of four major graphic novels adapted by Tardi from the legendary French crime writer Léo Malet’s original Nestor Burma novels, each set in Paris. Tardi’s stylish use of mechanical gray tones provides the book with a lovely period feel which, combined with Tardi’s usual obsessive visual research, gives it a uniquely personal, authentic quality.
Tardi’s adaptation is a cracking good detective yarn and a milestone in comics history.
Mézières & Christin: Valerian and Laureline 17 – Orphan of the Stars
Running away with the unhappy heir to the galaxy’s biggest fortune, even if it’s because he wants it, is bound to cause some problems.
On the lam with the Caliphette of Iksaladam, Valerian and Laureline are relentlessly pursued by the Quatuor Mortis, who are still after the enormous reward offered for the child’s safe return.
Stranded among the Asteroids of Shimballil, they must evade the hunters, recover their ship, dodge profiteers and traitors … and decide what to do with the little brat!
Santiago García & Javier Olivares: The Ladies-In-Waiting
In 1656, Diego Velázquez, leading figure in the Spanish Golden Age of painting, created one of the most enigmatic works in the history of art: Las Meninas (The Ladies-in-Waiting).
This graphic novel, written and drawn by two of Spain’s most sophisticated comics creators, examines its legacy as one of the first paintings to explore the relationship among the viewer, reality, and unreality. (It guest stars Cano, Salvador Dalí, Zurbarán, and many others.)
Olivares’s art moves from clear line to expressionistic; from pen nib to brush stokes; from one color palette to another, as The Ladies-in-Waiting uses fiction to explore the ties among artists and patrons, the past and the present, institutions and audiences, creators and creativity.
Their combined efforts have garnered not only international comics prizes, but the equivalent of the National Book Award in Spain, where the book has been a commercial and critical sensation.
Mazen Kerbaj: Beirut Won’t Cry
BANG? BLOG!
Thus begins the online diary of Mazen Kerbaj, a Lebanese painter, jazz musician, and cartoonist, as bombs rained down on his hometown of Beirut.
Throughout the summer of 2006, during the Israeli aerial bombardment of Lebanon, Kerbaj published drawings, comics, and writing, a creative chronicle during a time of intense and unspeakable brutality.
Drawn and written in English, French, and Arabic, Beirut Won’t Cry shows us how an artist views the world and everything in it — his relationships, his family, and his creative pursuits — as it crumbles violently around him.
Historically vital and occasionally hilarious, Beirut is Mazen Kerbaj’s first graphic novel translated into English, introducing to many American readers his unique voice and urgent pen, showing them how to carry on and resist in times of war and oppression.

Ian Williams: The Bad DoctorA humane, moving and often very funny graphic novel about the life of a country doctor and those of his patients, cartoonist and doctor Ian Williams introduces us to Dr Iwan James: cyclist, doctor, would-be lover, former heavy metal fan and, above all, human being.
Weighed down by his responsibilities – from diagnosing personality disorders to deciding who can hold a gun licence – Iwan doubts his ability to make decisions about the lives of others when he may need more than a little help himself.
Incontinent old ladies, men with eagle tattoos, traumatised widowers – Iwan’s patients cause him both empathy and dismay, as he tries to do his best in a world of limited time and budgetary constraints, and in which there are no easy answers. His feelings for his partners also cause him grief: something more than friendship for the sympathetic Dr Lois Pritchard, and not a little frustration at the prankish and obstructive Dr Robert Smith.
Iwan’s cycling trips with his friend Arthur provide some welcome relief, but even the landscape is imbued with his patients’ distress. As we explore the phantoms from Iwan’s past, we too begin to feel compassion for The Bad Doctor, and ask what is the dividing line between patient and provider?
Wry, comic, graphic, from the humdrum to the tragic, his patients’ stories are the spokes that make Iwan’s wheels go round, as all humanity, it seems, passes through his surgery door.
Ian Williams is the author of Sick Notes, a weekly comic strip in The Guardian about the state of the NHS. The Bad Doctor was highly commended in the Primary Healthcare category of the British Medical Association Medical Books Awards 2015.

Mark Fertig: Take That, Adolf! The Fighting Comic Books of the Second World War
Between 1941 and 1945, the greatest super villain to adorn a comic book cover was not the Red Skull or The Joker — it was Adolf Hitler!
Yes, Hitler was featured on more comic book covers than any other villain — being pummeled by everyone from Captain America to Wonder Woman, until he was beaten for real by the Allied forces.
Take That, Adolf! is a compilation of more than 500 stunningly restored comics covers published during World War II featuring America’s greatest super-villain curated by Mark Fertig, who also contributes an introductory essay examining comics’ coming-of-age amidst the greatest cataclysm in modern history.
This magnificent oversized volume offers an unprecedented look at the moment when a bunch of talented dreamers and hustlers, most of them Jewish kids in New York, created iconic characters who battled it out with Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito while the fate of the world hung in the balance.
From Superman and Captain America to propaganda and racism, Take That, Adolf! is a fascinating look at how legendary creators such as Joe Simon, Jack Kirby, Alex Schomburg, Will Eisner, and Lou Fine entertained millions of kids on the home front and buoyed the spirits of GIs fighting overseas by using Adolf Hitler as a punching bag. Ouch!
Greg Rucka & Liam Sharp: Wonder Woman 3 – The Truth

Will she defy the will of the gods, save her Amazon sisters and solve the mystery of her own existence once and for all? Or is the cost of the truth too steep for even Wonder Woman to bear?

Collects the five-issue miniseries.
Lauren Barnett: Unicorns of Planet Earth
In her new comic, Barnett presents herself as ‘unicorn scientist’ and delivers 28 pages of hilarious/honest/sweet commentary about the behaviors and rituals of the modern unicorn.
As in her previous work, Barnett deftly uses comedy to tap on the fragile psyche of our time.
We read her new book as commentary on the dangers of fantasy escapism.
Sure, you can devote your life to unicorns — or anything else — but the world is still a tragic place.
And that’s funny.
Barnett walks the line between tragedy and comedy better than anyone we know, and – as always – we’re ecstatic to put out one of her comics.
Glynnis Fawkes: Reign of Crumbs
Glynnis Fawkes is an award-winning cartoonist who lives in Vermont with her family.
When she’s not galavanting around the globe documenting archeological digs, she’s producing some of the most wonderful memoir comics in the field.
The beautiful brush pen slice-of-life comics in this collection honestly show the love, frustration, and just true surrealness that come from being a parent.
Living with two kids who are constantly evolving, growing, and changing can be amazing and challenging – what’s right one minute is wrong the next, but the need stays the same.
Fawkes deftly articulates these challenges while never forgetting to remind the reader how precious that weird thing is.
Noah Van Sciver: Slow Graffiti #3
This is a mini Noah did for his Patrons and for Kilogres Kickstarter.
Printed just 500 copies, 1/2 of which went to his Patrons and the other half to our Kickstarters.
This is Noah’s sketchbook zine he does every once in a while, and #3 finds him alone at CCS as the Artist-in-Residence. Perpetually out of place, Noah spends his time drawing, honing his craft, and studying nature.
It’s a beautiful little comic, and it won’t be reprinted (at least not in this format).
Kilgore Quarterly #7This may be our best issue of the Quarterly yet.
With five short works by some of our favorite cartoonist, and two hand written interviews, this is about the best value in comics. The loose theme for this issue was ‘orphaned comics from cartoonists we love,’ and they all fit together amazingly well.
Here’s what’s inside:
– Dappled Light by Summer Pierre – In this story, Summer delivers five pages of nostalgia that is touching and sad without getting overly sweet. If you are unfamiliar with her, please check her out. She makes autobiographical comics that are actually interesting, and her artwork will pull you in.
– Steve McQueen has Vanished by Tim Lane – In this 18-page excerpt from his forthcoming book on McQueen, Tim shows that his book will not simply be an autobiography. Instead, he takes facts and fiction and melds them all with his own psyche, making this a semi-fictional, autobiographical, biography.
– I Told You So by Joseph Remnant – This 16-page story originally appeared in a 2D Cloud collection, and is worth repeating. It’s a story of obsession, of art, and of love, and not at all in the hackneyed way we’re used to seeing those three elements woven together. As always, Joseph’s drawing is warm and inviting and we’re excited to put out another fine Remnant piece.
– The Desk by Leslie Stein – This twelve pager originally appeared as an Oily $1 minicomic. It’s a delightful story of a young girl playing, and the tension that comes about. It’s not sappy, it’s really funny, and we love it.
– K. Trout Makes a Move by Sam Spina – Ending this issue is this great four-pager from Sam Spina. Kilgore has worked with Sam a lot, and they’ve always said he’s one of the nicest guys in comics. Well, he’s also one of the funniest, and his time at the Cartoon Networks, ‘The Regular Show’ has really helped him fine-tune his gag writing ability.
– Also included in this issue are two hand-written interviews conducted with the Norwegian cartoonist Jason, and the American rock star Grace Slick, who used to front Jefferson Airplane. Jason did the covers, which are based on a classic Margritte painting, and there’s one of Herb Greene’s 1967 pictures of Grace with the interview.
Hannah Eaton: Naming MonstersFran is a keen amateur cryptozoologist – an expert in the study of animals that may not exist – and she can’t quite tell if the animals she meets are real or part of her imagination.
But one thing is for sure: monsters are all around us.
The year is 1993, and we join Fran on a wild ride around London while she negotiates its real or imagined menageries.
Tales of strange creatures that might-have-been introduce each stage of her journey.
Fran’s adventure, often with her best friend Alex in tow, is a psychogeography of London and its suburbs – a picaresque graphic novel in which the grief of losing her mother is punctuated by encounters with her semi-estranged dad, her out-of-touch East London Nana, a selfish boyfriend, and the odd black dog or two.
Hannah Eaton shows in sensitive pencils and beautiful penmanship what happens when your emotions become personified by monsters, and how you can learn to live with them.
Woodrow Phoenix: Rumble StripWoodrow Phoenix’s impassioned and beautifully drawn graphic novel questions our love affair with cars, and asks why, when you are in the driving seat, killing other people is not murder. Or even manslaughter. It’s… misfortune.
Over 1.2 million people are killed on the road each year. By 2020, road traffic accidents could outstrip stroke and HIV as one of the main causes of preventable deaths. Our increasing dependence on vehicles to ease our crowded lives has led to a critical imbalance in power between drivers and pedestrians – a situation where road deaths are viewed as acts of God, random events with no cause and no recourse, rather than as the result of human behaviour.
Woodrow Phoenix’s dry, sometimes painfully mordant wit, backed up by accident statistics, personal observations and case histories, offers a trenchant analysis of the problems of road users everywhere and the risks we all take every day.
Rumble Strip surprises, challenges, asks us questions that badly need answers and makes us think about things we may prefer to ignore. But sometimes we all need a wake-up call: Woodrow Phoenix personalises the experience of the commuter, the driver, the pedestrian, the accident victim – because any one of them could be you.
Daniel Clowes: Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron
Originally published in 1993, Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron was Daniel Clowes’s first long-form graphic novel and was heralded as an instant classic and exists firmly in the canon of great graphic novels.
Disturbing, funny, and surreal, it tells the story of a young man, Clay Loudermilk, who stumbles into a screening of a bizarre snuff film that wraps him up in a mystery surrounding a series of cult-inspired killings, dubbed “The Harum Scarum Murders.”
The subsequent path Loudermilk’s life takes is both a terrifying journey into madness and a jaw-dropping tour-de-force of visual imagination fraught with psychosexual and conspiratorial tension. In the wake of Clowes’s 2016 smash hit Patience, and on the eve of the release of Fox Searchlight’s Wilson (adapting Clowes’s book of the same name, with a screenplay by Clowes), Fantagraphics is proud to release this new edition of Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron, featuring a new, wraparound painted cover by the artist.
Darryl Cunningham: Supercrash – How to Hijack the Global Economy
An eloquent and devastating analysis in comic-book form of our economic world – and what makes us tick.
Darryl Cunningham’s latest graphic investigation takes us to the heart of free-world politics and the financial crisis, as he traces the roots of our age of selfishness to the rightwing thinkers of the previous century in three fascinating chapters – Ayn Rand, Supercrash, and The Age of Selfishness.
He takes a fascinating look at research carried out on the psychological differences between liberals and conservatives and suggests how their traits have defined them.
Nicola Streeten: Billy, Me & You
Nicola Streeten’s little boy, Billy, was two years old when he died following heart surgery for problems diagnosed only a few days earlier.
Ten years later, Streeten revisited her diaries and notebooks made at the time: this wonderfully vibrant narrative recounts how she and her partner recovered.
Gut-wrenchingly sad at times, her graphic memoir is an unforgettable portrayal of trauma and our reaction to it – and, especially, the humour or absurdity so often involved in our responses.
As Streeten’s story unfolds and we follow her and her partner’s heroic efforts to cope with well-meaning friends and day-to-day realities, we begin to understand what she means by her aim to create a ‘dead baby story that is funny’.
Streeten is the first British woman to have published a graphic memoir.
Henny Beaumont: Hole in the Heart – Bringing Up Beth
On Mother’s Day 2001 Henny Beaumont gave birth to her third child.
For the first four hours, her baby seemed no different from her two other little girls.
When the registrar told Henny and her husband that their daughter might have Down’s Syndrome, she thought that her life was over.
How would she be able to look after this baby, who might die, and manage her other two children at the same time? How could this weak little baby, who needed so much more from Henny than her other two children, provoke such feelings of hatred and resentment? And how would she learn to love her? If she can’t trust her own reactions to Beth, how could she expect other people to overcome their prejudices and ignorance about her condition?
Hole in the Heart is a moving, funny, ironic and refreshingly honest look at living with a child who has special needs.
Henny’s remarkable journey speaks not only to parents who have had a similar experience and the medical and care professionals who try to help them, but to every one of us who feels anxiety about our children – wondering whether they are achieving enough, whether we do enough for them, and whether we love them enough.
As the PE teacher asks: ‘Who’s really got the special needs here?’
Daniel Clowes: Caricature – Nine Stories
The dramatic short stories included in this softcover edition of Caricature have drawn comparisons to Nabokov for their complex naturalism and sense of humor.
Anchored by the title story, considered the first apotheosis of Clowes’ seminal Eightball underground comic book series, Caricature also includes eight other stories, including “Green Eyeliner,” a six-page full-color short story originally published in Esquire as the first work of comics to be featured in the magazine’s fiction issue (and commissioned by then-editor Dave Eggers). Also included are: a rare fully-painted short, “MCMLXVI,” the full-color “Gold Mommy,” “Gynecology,” “Immortal, Invisible,” “Blue Italian Shit,” “Like a Weed, Joe,” “Black Satin,” an all-new cover, and more.
Cristy C. Road: Spit and Passion
At its core, Spit and Passion is about the transformative moment when music crashes into a stifling adolescent bedroom and saves you.
Suddenly, you belong.
At twelve years old, Cristy C. Road is trying to balance the values of a Cuban Catholic family with her newfound queer identity, and begins a chronic obsession with the punk band Green Day.
In this stunning graphic memoir, Road renders the clash between her rich inner world of fantasy and the numbing suburban conformity she is surrounded by.
She finds solace in the closet—where she lets her deep excitement about punk rock foment and, in that angst and euphoria, finds a path to self-acceptance.
Jason: Hey, Wait…This superbly evocative graphic novella by the award-winning Norwegian cartoonist Jason (his first appearance in the English language) starts off as a melancholy childhood memoir and then, with a shocking twist midway through, becomes the summary of lives lived, wasted, and lost.
(Imagine a version of Stand by Me in which not all of the kids outrace the train.)
Like Art Spiegelman did with Maus, Jason utilizes anthropomorphic stylizations to reach deeper, more general truths, and to create elegantly minimalist panels whose emotional depth charge comes as an even greater shock.
His sparse dialogue, dark wit, and supremely bold use of “jump-cuts” from one scene to the next (sometimes spanning a number of years) make Hey, Wait… a surprising and engaging debut. Love and Rockets co-creator Gilbert Hernandez calls this one of the best graphic novels ever.
Mézières & Christin: Valerian – The Complete Collection 3
This third book of the collected edition contains volumes 6 to 8: Ambassador of the Shadows – the story that directly inspired Luc Besson’s film – On the False Earths and Heroes of the Equinox.
Over the course of these titles, among the finest in the series, Laureline takes her rightful place as the brains of the outfit, while Valerian fully embraces his role as anti-hero: always brave, but often a bit out of his depth.
You will also find the end of the interview with Luc Besson and the authors, and an in-depth portrait of Jean-Claude Mézières, the artist.
Graham Chaffee: To Have and to Hold
Couched in the traditional trappings of a noir heist thriller, Graham Chaffee’s To Have and To Hold is a hard-boiled disquisition on the darker regions of married life and the American Dream.
Set in October 1962, while the world holds its collective breath awaiting the possibly apocalyptic climax of the unfolding Cuban Missile Crisis, the banality of everyday life goes on, as Lonnie and Kate Ross confront their own domestic cold war.
As Kate, frustrated and disillusioned, looks outside her marriage for satisfaction, Lonnie’s justifiable suspicions of his wife’s infidelity lead him down a deadly road of increasing paranoia and violence as he seeks to reclaim what he’s lost.
Possession, jealousy, lust, and betrayal — the classic ingredients for a rocky marriage in an America on the verge of nuclear apocalypse.
Masterfully paced and drawn in Chaffee’s fluid, inky brushstrokes, To Have and To Hold captures the pulpy, nocturnal atmosphere of classic noir.
Gareth Brookes: The Black Project
The much-awaited debut from the winner of the inaugural Myriad First Graphic Novel Competition, The Black Project is a darkly funny story of obsession, beautifully crafted in embroidery and lino-cut.
Getting yourself a girlfriend is easy, according to Richard. All you need is papier mache, string, soft material, a balloon, some old fashioned bellows, and a good pair of scissors. The difficult bit is keeping her secret.
Set in an English suburb in the early 1990s, The Black Project is the story of Richard’s all-consuming passion for creating ‘girls’ from household objects.
But as his hobby begins to flourish, his real life friendships and family relationships deteriorate.
Richard is an unreliable narrator, and the reader responds to his loneliness and his dogged attempt to find a companion, while being horrified by his warped creations. The novel’s focus is on the divide between childhood and adulthood; where sex, perversion, and the grotesque feature in their many forms.
Kate Evans: The Food of LoveFresh and funny, this perfect gift for new mothers is a refreshingly different guide to breastfeeding.
Packed with hilarious and stylish graphics, it will entertain the rest of us too: partners, friends and anyone who has ever wondered how it all works.
.
.

Paula Knight: The Facts of Life
A clarion call to recognise that parenting isn’t the be-all and end-all of family life, Paula Knight’s extraordinarily powerful graphic memoir is a beautifully drawn, funny and sometimes painful exploration of what it takes to be a woman, and a mother – or not.
In 1970s Northeast England, best friends Polly and April are sitting up a tree, whispering about periods and swapping their hazy knowledge of the facts of life. They both expect to have families one day – it’s the normal script to follow, isn’t it? But, as they grow up, education and career become important, too, and they believe that they can have it all.
When, some years later, Polly settles with Jack, her career has taken off and she feels torn over whether or not to try for a baby. Has she left it too late? Did she have any control over that choice? They go ahead, but after repeated miscarriage and chronic illness take their toll, Polly must confront what family means in a society where ‘family’ usually means ‘children’.
Dame Darcy: Meat Cake BibleDame Darcy is one of the sui generis artistic talents of the past two decades — musician, actress, fortune teller, dollmaker, Gen X/feminist icon, and last but not least, cartoonist to the core — and has been bewitching readers for more than 20 years with her neo-Victorian horror/humor/romance comic Meat Cake.
Alternating between one-off (often cruelly tragic) fairy tales and ongoing romps starring her eclectic cast of characters, including Effluvia the Mermaid, the roguish roué Wax Wolf, Igpay the Pig-Latin pig, Stregapez (a women who speaks by dispensing Pez-like tablets through a bloody hole in her throat), the mischievous Siamese twins Hindrance and Perfidia, Scampi the Selfish Shellfish, the stalwart Friend the Girl, and the blonde bombshell Richard Dirt, all delineated in her inimitable luxurious scrawl, Meat Cake is like a peek into the most creative, deranged dollhouse you ever saw.
The Meat Cake Bible is the definitive collection of the series, collecting every story from all 17 issues (1993-2008) — including “Hungry is the Heart,” Darcy’s legendary collaboration with Alan Moore — as well as new stories from the unpublished 18th issue.
A gorgeous, unjacketed hardcover edition replete with cloth deboss, gold foil stamping, and a die-cut cover.
Daniel Clowes: The Complete Eightball 1-18
Before he rose to fame as the author of the bestselling graphic novels Ghost World, David Boring, Ice Haven, and The Death Ray, Daniel Clowes made his name from 1989 to 1997 by producing 18 issues of the beloved comic book series Eightball, which is still widely considered to be one of the greatest and most influential comic book titles of all time.
Now, for the 25th Anniversary of Eightball, Fantagraphics is collecting these long out-of-print issues in a slipcased set of two hardcover volumes, reproducing each issue in facsimile form exactly as they were originally published.
Included are over 450 pages of vintage Clowes, including such seminal serialized graphic novels/strips/rants as “Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron,” “Ghost World,” “Pussey,” “I Hate You Deeply,” “Sexual Frustration,” “Ugly Girls,” “Why I Hate Christians,” “Message to the People of the Future,” “Paranoid,” “My Suicide,” “Chicago,” “Art School Confidential,” “On Sports,” “Zubrick and Pogeybait,” “Hippypants and Peace-Bear,” “Grip Glutz,” “The Sensual Santa,” “Feldman,” “Glue Destiny,” and so many more, including many never reprinted before now.
Gareth Brookes: A Thousand Coloured Castles
Myriam is a woman who sees things a little differently from other people.
Strange figures in garish costumes accompany her to the post office, wild exotic plants sprout from supermarket shelves and phantom walls rise up to block her path.
Her husband Fred doesn’t know what she’s talking about. Whenever he looks there’s nothing there, and besides it’s no excuse for his breakfast not being ready on time.
But when Myriam sees a young boy shut up in the house next door, who is apparently being held captive, she is determined to investigate, much to her husband’s fury. Soon he brings in reinforcements – their daughter, Clare – who is concerned about her mother’s state of mind, and the state of her inheritance. Myriam’s only ally is her four-year-old grandson, Jack, who is more than happy to see things her way.
A Thousand Coloured Castles is a graphic novel where the sleepy suburbs of southern England melt into a world of hallucination, taking the reader through the doors of perception into a life where the surreal co-exists with the banal. With his customary wit and unique artistic approach, Brookes conjures both sympathy and despair for his characters trapped by the routine of daily life. If only they could just see…

Pertti Jarla: Fingerporin iso Postilla
Aikojen alussa yksi Karl-Barks-Stadt -sarjan maineen kasvattajia oli strippi, jossa Jeesus toteaa vaatekaupassa sovittaneensa housut asiakkaan puolesta.
Naurun ohella se nostatti myös paheksuntaa. Kun sarjan nimi vaihtui Fingerporiksi, uskonnot pysyivät mukana yhtenä keskeisistä teemoista.
Fingerpori-sarjakuva tuomitaan pilkaksi myös silloin kun kyse ei ole pilkkakirveellä iskemisestä kirkon oman ristin juureen. Hyvä sarjakuva ei karta arkojakaan aiheita. Totuus on myös se, että on mahdotonta tietää etukäteen, mistä ihmiset loukkaantuvat, mutta aina jostakin jos päättävät niin tehdä.
Pertti Jarla ei metsästä aktiivisesti pilkan kohteita, eikä harrasta järjestelmällisesti eri uskontojen ivaamista.
Enää.
Fingerporin uskontoesitykset ovat peräisin hänen omista kokemuksistaan koko elämän varrelta. Jarla toivookin, että häntä pidettäisiin enemmän siltojen rakentajana kuin kirkonpolttajana.
Fingerporissa vallitsee ekumenia ja oppien välistä dialogia käydään kiihkottomassa sävyssä. Fingerporin ISO postilla on täydennetty laitos aiemmin ilmestyneistä Fingerporin heräämisoppaasta ja Postillasta. Jumala, Jeesus, paavi, gurut, gootit ja apotit kuljeskelevat kaupungin kaduilla kuin tavallinen Mustanaamio ikään.
Fingerporin ISO postilla on lastattu kannesta kanteen runsaita selityksiä vaatineilla, henkistyneillä Fingerpori-sarjakuvilla.
Pertti Jarla: Fingerpori – Juhlakunnossa
Fingerporin ihmekaupunki on saavuttanut ensimmäisen 10 ilmestymisvuotensa aikana paljon.
Pertti Jarlan sarjakuva on muuttunut kansallisteokseksi, ja satavuotias Suomi on puolestaan entistäkin fingerporilaisempi.
Tietokirjailija, FM Satu Jaatinen on laatinut perinpohjaisen selvityksen Jarlan vaiheista eli siitä miten tähän on tultu. Kirja sisältää myös kaikki pitkät Fingerpori-tarinat Pikku-Fingerpori -lehdistä sekä aivan uuden seikkailun. Jokainen tuttu fingerporilainen pääsee näyttämään uusia puolia itsestään.
Mukana lisäksi Jarlan itsensä valikoimat 100 tekijälle itselleen rakkainta Fingerpori-strippiä kommenttien kera. Ehdoton ja historiallinen hupipaketti kaikille Fingerporin ystäville!

Blutch: PeplumThe man known as Blutch is one of the giants of contemporary comics, and Peplum may be his masterpiece: a grand, strange dream of ancient Rome.
At the edge of the empire, a gang of bandits discovers the body of a beautiful woman in a cave; she is encased in ice but may still be alive.
One of the bandits, bearing a stolen name and with the frozen maiden in tow, makes his way toward Rome—seeking power, or maybe just survival, as the world unravels.
Thrilling and hallucinatory, vast in scope yet unnervingly intimate, Peplum weaves together threads from Shakespeare and the Satyricon along with Blutch’s own distinctive vision.
His hypnotic storytelling and stark, gorgeous art pull us into one of the great works of graphic literature, translated into English for the first time.

Liv Strömquist: Prinssi Charlesin tunne
”What is love?” kysyi saksalainen eurodance-artisti Haddaway jo vuonna 1993.
Prinssi Charlesin tunne on kymmenen sarjakuvan mittainen odysseia, jossa Liv Strömquist etsii vastausta tähän kysymykseen.
Hän ehtii kysyä myös joukon muita kysymyksiä, kuten: Miksi miesten on mahdoton puhua tunteista? Oliko Ronald Reaganin vaimo kommunisti? Mitä mustasukkaisuus on? Miksi kaikki rakastavat Raymondia, vaikka Raymond vihaa kaikkia naisia?
Länsimaisen kulttuurin totuuksia riemukkaasti kyseenalaistava Strömquist tutkii Prinssi Charlesin tunteessa parisuhdetta, romanttista rakkautta ja avioliittoa – sekä niihin kuuluvia valta-asetelmia ja hullunkurisia ehtoja, joita olemme tottuneet pitämään normaaleina ja jopa ”romanttisuuden” määritelmänä.
Strömquist kuljettaa kirpeän humoristista analyysiaan läpi historian ja kulttuurien, ja tarjoaa lukijalle virkistäviä, vapauttavia oivalluksia.
Miksei kukaan puutu maailmanlaajuiseen ongelmaan nimeltä äärimmäinen rikkaus?
Miksi etsimme mindfulnessia itämaisista opeista, vaikka oma länsimainen, kapitalistinen järjestelmämme on historiallisesti täysin ylivoimainen mitä tulee hetkessä elämiseen?
Miksi Chris O’Neill tunsi heti jotain aivan erityistä prinsessa Madeleinea kohtaan? Entä miksi vasemmistolla menee niin surkeasti? Nousu ja tuho käsittelee kapitalismia, yhteiskuntaluokkia ja varallisuuden jakamista.
Nousu ja tuho on tuttuun tapaan pullollaan tietoa, nerokkaita oivalluksia ja hillitöntä huumoria. Liv Strömquist on terävän yhteiskuntakritiikin ja koomisen ajoituksen mestari.
Hergé: Peppy in the Wild WestCreated by Hergé, the titan of European comics, when he was drawing the first few Tintin adventures, Peppy in the Wild West is a lighthearted, freewheeling, farcical, and briskly paced adventure featuring anthropomorphic characters and some of the loopiest takes on tried and true tropes of the Old West that you’ve ever seen.
When his hat business fails, the adventurous bear Peppy heads west to start a new life. Brimming with good-natured naiveté and a dash of all-American grit, Peppy, accompanied by his sweet wife, Virginny, and his faithful steed, Bluebell, find an idyllic patch of grass somewhere in California, where Peppy’s hats start a craze among the local Rabbit-Ears tribe.
Threatened by the influence of foreign goods on the local feather headdress economy, the chief declares war and mobilizes the tribe, but Peppy’s screwball defense — involving a Gatling gun with arrows, canned goods, and a well-placed magnet — works. What follows is a rollicking cascade of one darned thing after another — not one but two kidnappings, a river full of gold, a bulldog outlaw, and even a side trip to Santa Barbara!
First serialized in black and white in 1934, this is the first publication of Peppy in the Wild West and the only English translation since 1969.

Jack Kirby: Mister Miracle by Jack Kirby
Jack Kirby reinvented the superhero genre with his sprawling saga of the Fourth World —a bold storytelling vision that was decades ahead of its time.
In honor of this extraordinary talent’s centennial, DC Comics is proud to re-present the groundbreaking work of the King of Comics in a brand-new edition collecting his classic DC titles in all their four-color glory: MISTER MIRACLE BY JACK KIRBY!
With MISTER MIRACLE, Kirby unleashes the breakout star of the Fourth World. Scott Free, a child of New Genesis, was destined to one day reign alongside the Highfather in the golden city of the New Gods.
But heavenly New Genesis was at war with hellish Apokolips, and the two immortal worlds were trapped in a neverending cycle of violence.
To break the stalemate, the Highfather struck a deal with Darkseid, the ruler of Apokolips. The two adversaries sealed their pact with a sacrifice: each would exchange his infant son to be raised on his enemy’s world.
Now Scott Free has grown up, and not even the blackest dungeons of Darkseid or the parademon hordes of Apokolips can hold him.
Breaking out of his captors’ clutches and heading for the world called Earth, he reinvents himself as the unstoppable escape artist, Mister Miracle!
But his flight from Apokolips threatens the fragile peace with New Genesis, and Darkseid’s sinister agents will not rest until their former prisoner is back in chains. Will Mister Miracle be able to avoid their ever-deadlier death traps?
No matter the cost, he will remain Scott Free!
Katie Green: Lighter Than My Shadow
A graphic memoir of eating disorders, abuse and recovery.
Like most kids, Katie was a picky eater.
She’d sit at the table in silent protest, hide uneaten toast in her bedroom, listen to parental threats that she’d have to eat it for breakfast.
But in any life a set of circumstance can collide, and normal behavior might soon shade into something sinister, something deadly. One day you can find yourself being told you have two weeks to live.
Lighter Than My Shadow is a hand-drawn story of struggle and recovery, a trip into the black heart of a taboo illness, an exposure of those who are so weak as to prey on the weak, and an inspiration to anybody who believes in the human power to endure towards happiness.

But now, as Nightwing, he’s finally his own man. He has a new city to protect in Blüdhaven, and a new love in his life—former villain Shawn Tsang.
But someone doesn’t think that Nightwing is quite the hero he could be. They’ve sent a twisted doppelgänger, Deathwing, to Blüdhaven to kidnap Shawn…sending Dick on a globe-spanning chase to get her back before something terrible happens.
Together with current Robin Damian Wayne, his partner from his brief stint as Batman, Dick must stay one step ahead of an enemy who seems to have all of his skills and memories. But when Nightwing finds out who’s pulling Deathwing’s strings, he’ll realize the shadow of his time as Batman might be too long to ever truly escape.

Lynda Barry: The Good Times Are Killing Me
Young Edna Arkins lives in a neighborhood that is rapidly changing, thanks to white flight from urban Seattle in the late 1960s.
As the world changes around her, Edna is exposed to the callous racism of adults; sometimes subtle and other times blatant, but always stinging.
At the heart of The Good Times Are Killing Me is the forbidden friendship between Edna who is white and Bonna Willis who is black, and how the world around them forces them to challenge their loyalties to each other.
As Barry does in her comics, she perfectly captures the awkward and earnest adolescent voice as Edna moves from childhood to middle school.
Joseph Remnant: Cartoon Clouds
Joseph Remnant’s first original graphic novel Cartoon Clouds follows the recent Art School graduate Seth Fallon and his three friends as they try to navigate that anxiety fueled time between finishing school and trying to figure out what the hell they’re going to do with the rest of their lives.
With a mountain of debt and no clear path to financial or emotional stability, Seth struggles to find a creative direction that won’t leave him homeless.
In this world of fashion conscious art snobs, talentless social media “gurus,” and drug addled, trust fund hipsters, he tries to hold on to the few meaningful relationships he has when the institution that held them together is no longer a part of their lives.
Drawn in a naturalistic style while never losing its essential cartoon idiom and written as an ongoing conversation among the characters that uncannily captures the preoccupations, fears, and ambitions of twentysomethings embarking upon their life, the philosophical nature of Cartoon Clouds is reminiscent of the films of Éric Rohmer or Noah Baumbach.
Cartoonist Joseph Remnant has been a prominent presence in the cartooning scene over the last decade, self-publishing his own comic book Blindspot, illustrating Harvey Pekar’s acclaimed Cleveland, and appearing in such magazines as The Believer.

Trina Robbins: Last Girl Standing
Born on the cusp of WWII in 1938, at a time when other little girls dreamed of being nurses and secretaries, Trina Robbins’s ambition was to be a bohemian; and indeed she did. She chronicles a life of sex, drugs, rock ’n’ roll — and comics — in Last Girl Standing.
Robbins describes her upbringing in Queens, New York, reading comics through her childhood in the 1940s; visiting the EC offices and becoming part of SF fandom (dating Harlan Ellison at age 16); and posing nude for men’s magazines in the 1950s; living in the Village, over her own boutique where she made clothes for and interacted with rock royalty like David Crosby, Donovan, Cass Elliot; her close relationship with Paul Williams; entering the orbit of underground cartoonists like Art Spiegelman, R. Crumb, Vaughn Bodé, and Bill Griffith, when she started contributing comics to The East Village Other; and, in the ’70s, moving to San Francisco, contending with the phallocentric underground scene, marrying Kim Deitch, co-founding Wimmen’s Comix, and being invited into Felch Comics (she declined); her work for the National Lampoon, Marvel Comics, and Eclipse in the 1980s; and her crisis as a cartoonist and transformation into an historian and lecturer in the ’90s and 2000s.
From science fiction to the Sunset Strip, from New York’s underground newspapers to San Francisco’s underground comix: Trina Robbins broke the rules and broke the law.
From dressing Mama Cass to being pelted with jelly babies as she helped photograph the Rolling Stones’s first US tour, from drunken New York nights spent with Jim Morrison to producing the very first all-woman comic book, this former Lady of the Canyon takes no prisoners in this heavily illustrated memoir.
Jerry and the Joker – Adventures and Comic Art by Jerry Robinson

This volume includes never-before-published full-page artwork from Detective Comics and Batman, covers featuring Batman, Robin, and the Joker, and much more.
Ville Hänninen: Kirjan kasvotKirjan henki tiivistyy kanteen.
Vanhat kannet herättävät muistoja ja ajatuksia jostain jo miltei unohtuneesta. Monia teoksia ei tahtoisi ajatellakaan muussa muodossa kuin siinä itselle rakkaimmassa. Tuntematon sotilas ei tuntuisi samalta hengettömällä elokuvakannella, ja Tove Janssonin Kuinkas sitten kävikään? olisi suorastaan lukukelvoton ilman kannen reikää.
Kirjan kasvot nostaa esiin yhden teoksen kultakin Suomen valtiollisen itsenäisyyden vuodelta. Ajan henki näkyy kansissa – valitut kannet kuvaavat aikaa ja sen virtauksia, aikansa kansityylejä ja -taiteilijoita.
Teos kertoo unohdettuja tarinoita jopa ikonisten, kaikkien tuntemien kirjankansien synnystä. Se tuo esiin myös ihmisiä kansien takana – suomalaisen kirjataiteen mestareita.
Pat Thomas: Did It! From Yippie To Yuppie: Jerry Rubin, An American Revolutionary
This overstuffed book is not only the first biography of the infamous and ubiquitous Jerry Rubin — co-founder of the Yippies, Anti-Vietnam War activist Chicago 8 defendant, social-networking pioneer, and a proponent of the Yuppie era — but an overstuffed chronicle of Rubin’s life (and ours) through those tumultuous times, including correspondence with Abbie Hoffman, Norman Mailer, John & Yoko, Eldridge Cleaver, the Weathermen, countless candid photos, personal diaries, and lost newspaper clippings.
Thomas interviewed more than 75 of Rubin’s friends, foes, and comrades including Chicago 8 defendants, participants in the Berkeley Free Speech Movement, Paul Krassner, Judy Gumbo, John Sinclair, Rennie Davis, and many others.
It reveals Rubin’s and the Yippies’ historical yet bizarre personal interactions with the likes of Allen Ginsberg, Phil Ochs, Bob Dylan, Timothy Leary, Charles Manson, Mick Jagger, and other iconic figures of the era, and explores the often-misunderstood relationship between Rubin and his partner-in-crime Hoffman, with new insights into their Yippie vs. Yuppie debates.
