KOTIMAISET UUTUUDET

Héctor Germán Oesterheld & Francisco Solano López: Eternautti

Juan Salvon ja hänen ystäviensä korttipeli keskeytyy, kun tappava lumisade verhoaa Buenos Airesin vaippaansa. Aluksi he luulevat että sade johtuu ydinkokeista, mutta pian selviää, että tilanne on paljon pahempi.

Argentiinalainen El Eternauta on uraauurtava klassikkosarjakuva, joka ilmestyi alun perin jatkosarjana vuosina 1957–1959.
Héctor Germán Oesterheldin käsikirjoittama ja Francisco Solano Lópezin piirtämä tarina on kudelma sotaa, kauhua ja scifiä.
Sarjaa pidetään yhtenä Latinalaisen Amerikan merkittävimmistä sarjakuvista, ja sen päähenkilöstä on muodostunut vastarinnan symboli.

Eternautti on historian toinen joukkorahoituksella suomennettu sarjakuva.
Sen toteuttivat yhteistyössä KVAAK Kirja ja Zum Teufel Kustannus.
KVAAK Kirja koostuu suomalaisista sarjakuva-alan ammattilaisista ja aktiivisista harrastajista.

Leena Virtanen & Aino Sutinen: Sörnäisten tyttö

Sylvi-Kyllikki Sinervo (1899-1987) alkoi pitää päiväkirjaa huhtikuussa 1915.

16-vuotiaan tytön perhe asui ahtaasti Helsingin Vallilassa. Esikoisena hän sai käydä oppikoulua, toisin kuin sisaruksensa.

Sittemmin Sylvi-Kyllikki (avioiduttuaan Kilpi) teki pitkän uran toimittajana, kansanedustajana ja järjestöaktiivina vasemmistolaisen politiikan ytimessä.

Uran hiipuessa hän päätti julkaista teinivuosiensa päiväkirjan nimellä Sörnäisten tyttö. Kirja tallentaa työläistytön arkea, tunteita ja pelkoja. Pääkaupunki oli tuolloin suuressa myllerryksessä, joka kärjistyi keväällä 1918 sisällissotaan.

Kirjan sivuilla nälkä ja väkivallan uhka vuorottelevat rakkaushuolien ja koulupaineiden kanssa.

Teoksen käsikirjoittanut Leena Virtanen on vapaa toimittaja ja tietokirjailija.
Piirtäjä Aino Sutinen on sarjakuvantekijä, livekuvittaja ja Sarjainfon päätoimittaja.
Molemmat tekijät ovat helsinkiläisiä.

Héctor Germán Oesterheld & Alberto Breccia: Eternautti 1969

Tappava lumisade verhoaa Buenos Airesin vaippaansa ja keskeyttää Juan Salvon ja hänen ystäviensä korttipelin.

Kammottavat avaruusolennot ovat tehneet suurvaltojen kanssa sopimuksen, jolla Etelä-Amerikka luovutetaan avaruudesta tulleiden hyökkääjien asuinpaikaksi. Alkuperäiset asukkaat pitää vain ensin hävittää…

Vuonna 1969 Héctor Germán Oesterheld kirjoitti uuden version klassikkoteoksestaan El Eternauta. Teoksen kuvitti Alberto Breccia, jonka ekspressionistinen taide teki tarinasta entistäkin vaikuttavamman.

Eternautti 1969 ilmestyy suomeksi samaan aikaan alkuperäisen Eternautti-kirjan kanssa.
Varat kerättiin joukkorahoituksella, jonka toteuttivat yhteistyössä KVAAK Kirja ja Zum Teufel Kustannus.
KVAAK Kirja koostuu suomalaisista sarjakuva-alan ammattilaisista ja aktiivisista harrastajista.

Fournier: Pikon ja Fantasion uudet seikkailut 18 – Niokolo-Koban arvoitus

Piko ja Fantasio suuntaavat Senegaliin tässä Jean Claude Fournierin juonimassa ja kuvittamassa vuoden 1974 seikkailussa.

Niokolo-Koban kansallispuistosta katoaa mystisesti eläimiä, eivätkä katoamiset rajoitu vain eläinkuntaan.

Luvassa on arvoituksellisia jalokiviä, kovaotteisia gangstereita ja vinkeän humoristista toimintaa, kun sankarimme setvivät tämän afrikkalaisella mystiikalla kiedotun vyyhdin solmuja.

Helteisen hulvattomassa menossa mukana häärii myös pieni ja pippurinen Spip-orava.

Marjorie Liu & Sana Takeda: Monstress Book One

The richly imagined world of MONSTRESS is an alternate matriarchal 1900s Asia, with an art deco-infused steampunk aesthetic that’s brimming with arcane dangers.

Within it, a teenage girl struggles to overcome the trauma of war, a task that’s made all the more difficult by her mysterious psychic link to an eldritch monster of tremendous power―a connection that will transform them both, and place them in the crosshairs of both human and otherworldly powers.

Creator/writer Marjorie Liu (who made history as the first woman to win an Eisner Award for Best Writer) and creator/artist Sana Takeda present a deluxe, oversized hardcover edition of their beloved breakout comic in MONSTRESS BOOK ONE.

Collecting the first 18 issues of the New York Times bestselling series, this massive edition features a striking new cover, as well as special extras, including never-before-seen sketches, script pages, and more for over 500 pages of award-winning content.

Jeff Smith: Tuki 1 – Fight for Fire

The ancient world was filled with restless spirits and powerful forces.

2 million years ago, human evolution made its move. It chose Fire.

Together, their search for the Motherherd of all Buffalo leads them far north through the dangerous territory of a rival species called the Habiline.
The Habiline hunt and kill anyone found using fire.

Tuki’s reputation precedes them and soon they find themselves at the center of unwanted attention not only from Habiline warriors, but of tribal spirits and giants!

Eric Gladstone & Gabrielle M. Kari: No Holds Bard – The First Folio

William Shakespeare is often called the greatest actor/poet/playwright of all time, but less widely known is that he was also the Elizabethan Era’s greatest crimefighter!

Gail Simone calls No Holds Bard “…brilliantly written, gorgeously illustrated. This is why I am in love with comics.”

When Queen Elizabeth I is kidnapped, only the dramatic duo of William Shakespeare and William Page in their superhero alter-egos, THE BARD and PAGE can save her!

In this globe-trotting graphic novel, The Bard and Page butt heads and come to blows with contemporaries and fictional characters alike, from Sir Francis Bacon and Kit Marlowe to Puck and a zombified Richard III.
As they get closer to the truth behind Shakespeare’s world-renowned intelligence, they’ll find out the deeper meaning behind love, labor, and losing it!

Casting Shakespeare as an egotistical detective by way of the Adam West Batman TV show, this throwback comedy is filled with in-jokes and heart that will leave groundlings and seasoned thespians alike clamoring for more.
No Holds Bard is a literary lampoon that’s half love letter, half satire, and all written in iambic pentameter!

Paul Tobin & Andy MacDonald: My Date with Monsters

Seven years ago, an attempt to weaponize dreams resulted in holes being punched through the world we know and into the world of dreams.

Nightmarish creatures now stalk the land, sprouting from (and killing) anyone unlucky enough to dream. The only way to save the world is for certain people to have their dreams come true.

Which is how Risa Harumi finds herself not only fighting monsters, but forced into finding true love.

Monsters and modern dating? It feels like a nightmare either way, and the only help Risa has is a friendly-ish troll named Croak and her pre-teen daughter, Machi.

Guy Delisle: World Record Holders

A funny and insightful retrospective collection from a celebrated cartoonist.

Universally beloved cartoonist Guy Delisle showcases a career-spanning collection of his work with a sly sense of humor and warm characterization.

Before Delisle became an international superstar with his globe-hopping travelogues, he was an animator experimenting with the comics form. Always aware of the elasticity of the human form and honing his keen observer’s eye, young Delisle created hilarious set pieces.

World Record Holders ranges from wistful childhood nostalgia to chagrined post-fame encounters, touching on formally ambitious visual puns and gut-busting what-ifs.
Delisle again and again shows how life is both exhilarating and embarrassing.

Delisle visits an exhibition of his work in another country and is confronted by an angry spouse who blames him for destroying her marriage.

A juvenile game of Bows and Arrows turns menacing as arrows shot straight up in the air turn into barely visible missiles of death.

A coded message from space creates different reactions from different people–debates, dance festivals, gallery shows.

.

Michael DeForge: Birds of Maine

Take flight to this post-apocalyptic utopia filled with birds.

Birds roam freely around the Moon complete with fruitful trees, sophisticated fungal networks, and an enviable socialist order.

The universal worm feeds all, there are no weekends, and economics is as fantastical a study as unicorn psychology.
No concept of money or wealth plagues the thoughts of these free-minded birds.

Instead, there are angsty teens who form bands to show off their best bird song and other youngsters who yearn to become clothing designers even though clothes are only necessary during war. (The truly honourable professions for most birds are historian and/or librarian.)

These birds are free to crush on hot pelicans and live their best lives until a crash-landed human from Earth threatens to change everything.

Michael DeForge’s post-apocalyptic reality brings together the author’s quintessential deadpan humour, surrealist imagination, and undeniable socio-political insight.
Appearing originally as a webcomic, Birds of Maine follows DeForge’s prolific trajectory of astounding graphic novels that reimagine and question the world as we know it.

His latest comic captures the optimistic glow of utopian imagination with a late-capitalism sting of irony.

Nick Drnaso: Acting Class

A brilliant and suspenseful follow-up to the Booker-nominated graphic novel Sabrina.

Every single person has something unique to them which is impossible to re-create, without exception. –John Smith, acting coach

From the acclaimed author of Sabrina, Nick Drnaso’s Acting Class creates a tapestry of disconnect, distrust, and manipulation.

Ten strangers are brought together under the tutelage of John Smith, a mysterious and morally questionable leader. The group of social misfits and restless searchers have one thing in common: they are out of step with their surroundings and desperate for change.

A husband and wife, four years into their marriage and simmering in boredom.
A single mother, her young son showing disturbing signs of mental instability.
A peculiar woman with few if any friends and only her menial job keeping her grounded.
A figure model, comfortable in his body and ready for a creative challenge.
A worried grandmother and her adult granddaughter; a hulking laborer and gym nut; a physical therapist; an ex-con.

With thrumming unease, the class sinks deeper into their lessons as the process demands increasing devotion.

When the line between real life and imagination begins to blur, the group’s deepest fears and desires are laid bare. Exploring the tension between who we are and how we present, Drnaso cracks open his characters’ masks and takes us through an unsettling American journey.

Robert Kirkman & Paul Azaceta: Outcast 8

The beginning of the end is upon us.

Allison has been possessed…but it’s unlike any possession we’ve seen before.

How will this affect Kyle’s mission to save the world now that the great merge has begun?

He’s roping desperate Don into a two-week treasure hunt on the ocean floor… and a bear-taming trip to Duckburg’s deepest woods–and a mission to cure hiccups with scary rural remedies! Are fame and fortune worth it?

Cartoon story man Dick Kinney and beloved kids’-comic artist Al Hubbard jammed on Disney duck tales in the swinging ’60s–and by popular demand, Fantagraphics’ Disney Masters series continues to collect their best!
From Fethry’s terrifying turn as Uncle Scrooge’s efficiency expert in “It’s Only Money” to Donald’s romantic woes in “A Midsummer’s Nightmare,” the mayhem keeps on coming!

When patriarchy makes monsters, sometimes the monsters bite back in the bold debut graphic novel by Jude Ellison S. Doyle with artist A.L. Kaplan!

In the aftermath of an assault, Marion begins to transform as an unspeakable hunger crawls through her body.
When the townsfolk recognize there’s something different about Marion, they react with suspicion, then violence, while ignoring the monsters already among them.

Critically acclaimed journalist/opinion writer Jude Ellison S. Doyle (Dead Blondes and Bad Mothers) with artist A.L. Kaplan (Full Spectrum Therapy, Heart of Gold), and colorist Fabian Mascolo (Firefly: Brand New ‘Verse) unleash Maw, a status-quo-shattering tale examining the consequences of sexist violence and the subjugation of marginalized genders, and what happens when the wounded are backed into a corner.

Anne Simon: Boris the Potato Child

In her latest graphic novel, French artist and illustrator Anne Simon returns to her visually and allegorically rich fantasyland.

Boris, the round-headed child, reigns like a despot in the little house he lives in with his mother.

His mother, Bulle, formerly known as Aglaia, was once the all-powerful queen of the country Marylene.
Since Marylene’s fall, residents have lived in peace thanks to a self-governing system they have adopted.

But when Boris meets Sabine, a warrior French fry thirsty for revenge, nothing will ever be the same…

The third book in Anne Simon’s “Tales of Marylene ” graphic novel series (after The Song of Aglaia and Empress Cixtisis), Boris the Potato Child delivers a bitter critique of our consumerist impulses and abuses.
Mixing literature and pop culture (such as mashing Simone de Beauvoir with the Beatles), Simon has created in Marylene a world as abundant in visual imagination as Oz or Narnia, but crafted with a Swiftian pen that’s mightier than any man’s sword.

Jim Woodring: One Beautiful Spring Day

A mesmerizing, mind-bending, wordless 400 page comics odyssey by a contemporary master of the form.

Jim Woodring has been chronicling the adventures of his cartoon Everyman, Frank, for almost 30 years.
These stories are a singular rarity in the comics form — both bone-chillingly physical in their depictions of Frank’s travails and profoundly metaphysical at the same time. Not since George Herriman’s Krazy Kat has the comics language been so exquisitely distilled into pure, revelatory aesthetic expression.

Designed as a luxe paperback with vellum jacket, One Beautiful Spring Day combines three previously published volumes –Congress of the Animals, where Frank embarked upon a life-changing voyage of discovery, Fran, where he learned, then forgot, that things are not always what they seem, and Poochytown in which Frank demonstrated his dizzying capacity for both nobility and ignominy — along with 100 dazzling new pages conceived and drawn by the author.

The result is a seamless, 400 page graphic narrative that forges a new and even more poignantly realized single story that takes readers deep into the hidden meanings of the previous stories and offers the most full, complete, astonishing exposition of Frank and his supercharged world to date.

Si Spurrier & Matias Bergara: Step by Bloody Step

THERE IS A GIRL. She has no memory and no name.

Nothing but a GUARDIAN. An armored giant who protects her from predators and pitfalls.

TOGETHER THEY WALK across an extraordinary fantasy world. If they leave the path the air itself comes alive, forcing them onwards.
Why? The girl doesn’t know, but there’s worse than beasts and bandits ahead.

CIVILISATION, with its temptations and treacheries, will test their bond beyond its limits.

STEP BY BLOODY STEP is a fantasy opus from the Eisner Award nominees behind CODA (sélection officielle Angoulême 2021): MATIAS BERGARA (HELLBLAZER, THE SCUMBAG) and SI SPURRIER (X-MEN LEGACY, HELLBLAZER, THE SPIRE).

Breaking new ground with the possibilities of sequential art, this completely wordless visual feast will delight fans of PRINCESS MONONOKE, ISOLA, and the visionary works of Moebius.

Diaz Canales & Guarnido: Blacksad – They All Fall Down Part One

In this exceptional noir tour de force from writer Juan Díaz Canales and artist Juanjo Guarnido, the hotly anticipated worldwide bestseller returns to American shores after a seven-year hiatus with a brand-new two-part storyline!

Following its chart-topping 2021 release in Europe and now translated for English-language readers by the team of Brandon Kander and Diana Schutz, this volume features feline private eye John Blacksad as he tangles with the unions, the mob, and mid-century construction magnate Lewis Solomon, who plans to pave New York City’s green space, come hell or high water.

From soaring heights to terrifying depths, Blacksad must steer the right course between the lofty world of Shakespearean theater and the seedy nether regions of the city. Towering above it all is the foreboding figure of Solomon, who will let nothing thwart his dream of power.

With three prestigious prizes from the Angoulême International Comics Festival as well as multiple Eisner and Harvey awards, the Blacksad series of graphic albums is a global success story, now published in thirty-nine different countries.
Writer Juan Díaz Canales and artist Juanjo Guarnido have crafted a master class in comics storytelling for a worldwide audience.

KÄYTETYT SARJAKUVAT

Warren Ellis & Bryan Hitch: The Authority 1 – Relentless (K)

KÄYTETTY.

From the ashes of Stormwatch comes a new team of individuals who will use their incredible powers and abilities to force the planet Earth to pay attention.

Jenny Sparks, known as the Spirit of the 20th Century, has brought together Jack Hawksmoor, The Doctor, Swift, The Engineer, Apollo, and the Midnighter.

Together they are The Authority, and together they will change the world.

Collecting issues #1-8 of the hard-hitting super-hero series., The Authority: Relentless gives readers a rocket ride alongside a team whose actions are always of global proportions.

Mark Millar & Tom Peyer: The Authority 4 – Transfer of Power (K)

KÄYTETTY.

How far are the rulers of the world willing to go to keep their power?

After extending their mandate into the realms of realpolitik and messing with the established order, Earth’s watchdog super-team the Authority is about to find out.

Hit from every side at once, by powers they never even suspected to exist, the Authority finds itself shattered into its component parts, with each member assigned to a particularly sadistic, purgatorial exile.
Taking their place is a brand-new team whose members are more compliant than their predecessors, and who aren’t as troubled by uncomfortable ideas like justice or human rights.

But if there’s one thing that everyone should have learned by now, it’s not to count out the Authority – no matter what you do.

Transfer of Power reprints issues 22-29 of what Entertainment Weekly called “the most outrageous superhero comic being published today.”

Robbie Morrison & Dwayne Turner: The Authority 5 – Harsh Realities (K)

KÄYTETTY.

High above the planet, aboard a fifty-mile-wide alien vessel, The Authority – seven awesomely powerful meta-humans – act as bouncers for the Earth.

If you threaten the life and liberty of its inhabitants, they’ll get nasty in the pursuit of your blood.
Reality Incorporated is the first ever multiversal business corporation. They strip-mine and globalise on a universal scale.

Now they want The Authority’s technology as their next exploitable resource or they’ll reduced the Earth to an asteroid cloud.

The Authority has only one answer – fight’s on!

The latest volume in this acclaimed, gut-crunching series features a brilliant new creative team to pitch The Authority once more into action!

Collecting issues #0-5 of The Authority Volume 2.

Robbie Morrison & Dwayne Turner: The Authority 6 – Fractured Worlds (K)

KÄYTETTY.

A finer world has been the Authority’s goal from the very beginning, one they fought for time and time again versus domestic and inter-dimensional foes.

Could the greatest threat to this dream actually be faith in a higher power?

And, following the extraordinary events of the Coup d’Etat, The Authority take their “finer world” ideal to another level, as they assume total control of the United States.
They find that it is much more difficult than they could ever have imagined!

Collecting issues #6-14 of The Authority Volume 2.

Ed Brubaker & Dustin Nguyen: The Authority 8 – Revolution Book Two (K)

KÄYTETTY.

Garth Ennis & Glenn Fabry: The Authority – Kev (K)

KÄYTETTY.

Kev Hawkins is a Special Air Services corporal turned assassin, called in by the British government when they want someone removed.

The Authority are Earth’s last line of defense, known and feared across many galaxies and dimensions.

Fan favorite writer Garth Ennis (Preacher) and acclaimed artist Glenn Fabry take us on a ride that includes the possible destruction of all life on Earth as well as guns, aliens, explosions, a tiger and an orange.

Hawkins’ new assignment is to find and eliminate The Authority and, oddly enough, his task is easier done than said. An awkward partnership is forged as they set out to save the planet from certain, alien doom.

Can they succeed before The Midnighter uses Kev’s head as a hood ornament for the Carrier?
Later, Apollo and Midnighter are paired with their favorite homophobic SAS operative.

Together they must help appease an alien armada bent on destruction and genocide that stands poised to assault the planet Earth.

The Authority: Kev and the More Kev miniseries are both collected here.
