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.

Hän ryhtyy äänekkään ja suoraviivaisen rock-bändin manageriksi.
Karuhko todellisuus ja Buddyn suojattien käsitykset omasta tähteydestään eivät välttämättä kohtaa toisiaan, mutta onko sillä väliä, kun pitkätukkaiset koltiaiset pääsevät ensimmäisen kerran maistamaan rock’n’rollin ydinmehua?

Tomi Riionheimo: Talvella voi hiihtää
“Tomi Riionheimo, Joensuun suuri poika, geograafikko ja kulmikas naivisti sarjakuvittaa lähinnä kolmentyyppisiä verbalisteja.
Mikko Kekki havainnoi tarkasti tilanteita ja sananvaihdantaa, Jarse Lehikoisen rimmaavat opetukset muistuttavat moraalista pimeyden hetkellä tai oitis sen jälkeen.
Lauri Hannu on kolmikon aforistikko, lukija vangitaan runouden ja proosan eksaktille välialueelle pehmeästi tahi ansaitsemansa kipupiston tuntien.”
– Petri Kemppinen, asiantuntija

Tome & Janry: Pikon ja Fantasion seikkailuja 36 – Virus
Pikon ja Fantasion vanha vastustaja John “Mureena” Helena palaa kuvioihin, mutta tällä kertaa hän tarvitsee sankariemme apua… ja kipeästi!
Mureenaan on iskenyt outo, keinotekoinen virus, joka on saanut alkunsa salamyhkäiseltä tutkimusasemalta Etelämantereella. Niinpä kaksikkomme lähtee hyytävälle tutkimusmatkalle, josta ei vauhtia tai vaaroja puutu!

Vaikka ajatus melusaasteen torjunnasta onkin kerrassaan mainio, tuottaa keksintö hyvin nopeasti Pikolle ja Fantasiolle roppakaupalla hankaluuksia… varsinkin, kun eräs ahne konnakaksikko saa hiljaisuuslaitteen haltuunsa!

ONE & Yusuke Murata: One-Punch Man 4
Netflix-animaationakin tuttu sarja muistuttaa alkuasetelmaltaan My Hero Academiaa.

Päähenkilön murheena on niukan toimeentulon ja kaljuuden lisäksi se, että hän on päässyt liian vahvaksi. Kun suurinkin hirviö kaatuu yhdellä iskulla, käy elämä tylsäksi…
Kukaan ei tosin usko arkisen näköistä heppua maailman vahvimmaksi sankariksi!

For the last…er…unusual year, monsters have been arriving on Casey’s doorstep needing a place to stay, something to eat, and lots and lots of attention.
It’s getting impossible to keep these haunted houseguests a secret, much less get a good night’s sleep. Casey has to find a solution, and fast!
But someone is onto Casey’s supernatural stash. Zandra, the new girl at school, not only knows about his creature collection, but she’s found a monster, too.
And it needs his help! Now Casey must juggle location-scouting for his house of horrors, keeping his monsters protected from the townspeople and an evil droid of doom, and navigating middle school. Good thing he can trust Zandra…or can he?

Craig Thompson: Ginseng Roots 1-6
Set of six comic books. Includes Hello Chunky Root mini-comic and a sticker.
From ages 10 to 20, Craig Thompson (author of Blankets, Goodbye Chunky Rice, Habibi, Carnet De Voyage, Space Dumplins) and his little brother Phil, toiled in Wisconsin farms weeding and harvesting ginseng.
The medicinal herb fetched huge profits in China and funded Craig’s youthful obsession with comic books. Comics, in turn, allowed him to escape his rural, working-class trappings.
For the first time in his career, Thompson is serializing his story.
Part memoir, part travelogue, part essay– all comic book–Ginseng Roots is a sweeping narrative that unearths surprising connections between class divide, agriculture, holistic healing, the 300-year-long trade relationship between China and North America, childhood labor, and the bond between two brothers.

The Lords of Misery… a mysterious organization made up (unwillingly) by history’s most notorious dregs.
Through the ages they have battled an enigmatic and unstoppable force.
A being whose evil makes the Lord’s crimes look downright petty in comparison.
Always it returns after a long hibernation. And always the Lords have died trying to thwart it.
But if generations of Lords haven’t been able to stop it, what chance does the Goon and this current incarnation have?

The Aiguille Dibona, the Coup de Sabre, La Meije: The summits of the Massif des écrins in the French Alps, to which he escapes as a teenager, spark both exhilaration and fear.

Just the covers alone have had the gang at PS muttering in their sleep just crossing off the days that this baby would come along.

Drake Waller & Matt Baker: It Rhymes with Lust
This “picture novel” has been called comics’ first graphic novel.
This also has the distinction of being the first comic book work by writer Arnold Drake of Deadman fame.
The story is very much in the pot-boiler/noir genre featuring Hal Weber, onetime crusading journalist, who is summoned to Copper City by his old flame Rust after the death of her husband, mining magnate and political heavyweight Arthur “Buck” Masson.
As editor of The Express, a newspaper with an anti-Masson stance secretly owned by Rust, Hal is drawn back to her even as he falls for her stepdaughter Audrey.
Warren Ellis’ e-mail column shows that he is a modern master of the short form essay as his biting wit makes even the most esoteric of topics must-reads.
Ellis describes the work as “Bad Signal is me on the move, emptying my head of thoughts and shoving them into a handheld computer with a wireless modem plugged into it, so that I can instantly bug four thousand people with useless email from public toilets all over the world.”
Collected for the first time, this book features the Bad Signal columns profusely illustrated with dozens of stunning new illustrations by celebrated artist Jacen Burrows.

She’s in a hospital…or it may be a police station.
She’s been traumatized…or possibly she’s being held for questioning.
She’s either the only living witness of a cattle-mutilation style attack on humans, or a multiple killer whose psychotic reaction to heroin led to massacre.
Who is this mystery woman?
And will her interrogators survive the discovery of her true identity?
Warren Ellis & Mike Wolfer: Strange Kiss
The original STRANGE KISS storyline collected, featuring the introduction of William Gravel!
Strange Kiss is best described by Ellis himself: “A horrific murder/suicide in the middle of a busy city street at midday; an old man rotting and bloating in a hospital bed, something sick gestating inside him; in a darkened place close by, people screaming, impregnated, doomed.
Something beautiful and awful is trying to reproduce, and its strange kiss is only to be feared…”

Warren Ellis & Mike Wolfer: Stranger Kisses
Finally, back in print!
Warren Ellis brings his mad visions to life with the same team who brought you Strange Kiss.
Stranger Kisses is about people for whom two genders are not enough, no matter how you play mix and match with sexuality.
It’s also about videotape, bad secrets, and what it’s like to have an entire city wanting to kill you.
The videotape is of seriously physically modified whores. Possibly altered at the genetic level. Because those extra orifices look grown. And those weird protuberances don’t look artificial….
A very 21st Century comic, mad and modern and speedy and full of nasty ideas.
In LA, the future of rich man’s whoring and trophy women is being designed.
Two sexes are not enough. People like their kisses stranger than that.
This is a collection of paintings, a one-man bestiary of monsters, weirdos, beasties, and anthropomorphs, all painted in Furie’s meticulous brand of representational surrealism.
Furie’s cheerful, anthropomorphic comics character, Pepe the Frog, became a meme that was appropriated by hate groups (as seen in the documentary Feels Good Man, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival.)
Furie’s recent paintings reflect this experience.
This is a showcase for an unsettling menagerie; creatures seem to be hiding their true intentions.
Furie is plumbing darker depths in these works, despite the paintings’ inviting colors and friendly cartoon iconography.
Full-color illustrations throughout.
