Hämmentynyt Hanna menee treffeille söpön ja eksentrisen Aapon kanssa, joka paljastuukin Hannan ihailemaksi taiteilijaksi.
Kohtaaminen johtaa pysäyttämättömään ja elämät sekoittavaan tunnevyöryyn kahden omalaatuisen ihmisen rakastuessa palavasti toisiinsa.

MANGA-UUTUUDET
Sakaku Hishikawa: Chainsaw Man – Buddy Stories
Chainsaw Man returns in four prose stories of devil-hunting partners!
Power lives out her favorite anime by becoming a genius detective–or so she wants her “audience” to believe!
Denji is along for the ride as her assistant for an investigation into disappearances at a mountain hotel.
Other stories center on Quanxi and Kishibe’s relationship nine years after they met, Himeno and Aki’s first assignment together, and Denji, Power, and Aki’s dream trip to Enoshima.
Shungiku Uchida: Minami’s Lover
Originally appearing in the underground/alternative manga magazine Garo in the 1980s and adapted for television several times, the Japanese pop culture sensation Minami’s Lover is the story of two high schoolers’ romantic relationship when one of them shrinks down to six inches tall.
Everyone thinks Chiyomi has disappeared, and suspicion naturally falls on Minami, identified as her boyfriend in her diary.
But after inexplicably finding herself in such a state, Chiyomi moves in with him.
As depicted in Uchida’s clean, loose line and Zip-a-Tone textures, the two soon adapt to the unusual circumstances, devising ways for Chiyomi to use the toilet, brush her teeth and hair, attend classes, and more.
After some silly sequences of trial and error, they even figure out a sex life.
But in addition to learning how to navigate logistics, jealousy, and the cat, they’re also growing up (if not taller).
Uchida uses the conceit of a teen couple literally learning how to take care of one another to examine gender dynamics and intimacy.

ULKOMAISET UUTUUDET
Robert Crumb: The Book of Mr. Natural
Seminal underground comics artist Crumb has gained wider recognition, thanks to an acclaimed documentary about him.
Libraries wanting some representative Crumb in the wake of the movie may be better served by this single volume featuring one of his most famous creations than by the multivolume reprinting of all of his work that Fantagraphics has about half-completed.
The bearded, robed, curmudgeonly guru Mr. Natural hasn’t changed much since his 1967 debut.
An ever-serene-but-horny philosopher-for-hire, dispensing enlightenment to an undeserving world–is he a wise, grizzled mystic or a cynical charlatan? A teller of timeless truths or a sixties anachronism?
Wherever he appears, so do his most loyal acolyte, Flakey Foont, and his obsession, the lusty Devil Girl.
The collection constitutes a sheer delight for those who have followed the Natch’s exploits over the years, yet it is completely accessible to nonaficionados–at least those undaunted by the raunchiness that is another thing that hasn’t changed since the sage’s early days.
Chip Zdarsky & Carmine Di Giandomenico: Batman – The Knight 1

Superstar writer Chip Zdarsky (Daredevil) and acclaimed artist Carmine Di Giandomenico (The Flash) will take Bruce Wayne on a fraught journey, making allies and enemies, on his training to become Batman in Batman: The Knight Vol. 1!
How did an angry, damaged young man grow into the most accomplished detective and crime-fighter the world has ever known? How did the Dark Knight…begin?
Bruce Wayne’s journey toward becoming the Dark Knight has begun, and he has many hard lessons to learn before his education is complete.
His adventure begins in the City of Lights, Paris, where he’ll train with a world-renowned cat burglar and come into contact with a horrifying serial killer stalking the city’s wealthy elite…will this “first test” for the young Batman prove deadly?
Batman: The Knight Vol. 1 collects Batman: The Knight #1-10!
This graphic novel chronicles the fictional life story of Alison Porter, whose talent as a painter blossoms in bohemian 1970s London.
Alison tells the story of a young British woman who, in her twenties, seizes upon the opportunity to escape from her quiet life in Dorset to the thrumming art scene of late-1970s London.
But the vehicle for her escape is a charismatic older man whose reputation as an artist and philanderer casts a shadow which will follow Alison for years as she pursues her painting career.
Combining immaculate prose and stunning artwork, Alison is a complex love and coming-of-age story, as well as a meditation on female friendship and empowerment, class and patriarchy, the creative process and the thorny world of fine art.
British illustrator and author Lizzy Stewart crafts a graphic novel that evokes the atmospheric milieu of bohemian London in the late 20th century, while at the same time exploring the more universal struggles of women who must navigate male-dominated spaces.
Told through quietly powerful interpersonal moments rich with meaning and mood, this graphic novel will appeal to fans of Sally Rooney and Leanne Shapton, as well as the great empathic writers Alice Munro, Hilary Mantel, and Tessa Hadley.

Listen, Beautiful Márciais a fast-paced, flamboyantly colorful new graphic novel by one of the most important Brazilian graphic novelists working today.
Marcello Quintanilha’s first English-language graphic novel is a tour de force — a tightly wound drama filled with masterful suspense and a deep love for family and character.
Léonie Bischoff: Anaïs Nin – A Sea of Lies
Anais Nin, the author of works such as Delta of Venus and House of Incest, is the patron saint of taboo-breaking pop culture sexual iconoclasts.
Not only is she an inspiration for contemporary figures such as Madonna, but her oeuvre, which encompasses erotica, autobiography, essays, short fiction, novels, and much more, has been adapted into film ( Henry and June), television ( Little Birds), and other media.
The cartoonist Léonie Bischoff traces the life of the prolific writer in this lushly colored graphic novel.
It begins with Nin struggling to reconcile the man she married (who had artistic aspirations) with the banker she finds herself living with in the Parisian suburbs.
Soon, her obsession with June Miller leads to inspiration.
Nin’s life and art, the truth and fiction, are further intertwined as she recounts her many sexual liaisons including those with Henry Miller (whom she and her husband subsidize so he can write the controversial Tropic of Cancer), her psychoanalysts, and even her father.
Although Bischoff’s drawing is largely representational, she occasionally depicts Nin’s sexual experiences in scenes as surreal as Nin’s own written portrayal of them.
Joe Orlando: The Planetoid and Other Stories
Joe Orlando partnered early with Wallace Wood on a variety of science fiction comics, including several for EC Comics.
But he quickly made a name for himself and struck out on his own, carving out a long and distinguished career in American comics.
Orlando became a mainstay at EC, especially on science fiction, and The Planetoid And Other Stories collects his first two dozen.
All of them, scripted by editor/writer Al Feldstein, serve up classic O. Henry-style shock endings, including a mind-bending time-travel twister in which a man visits the past and (unknowingly) romances his own mother (think about it), a gender-switching look at a future where women are the breadwinners and men are the homemakers, another future where marriages are limited by law to three-year contracts, a good old-fashioned “planets collide” shocker, an animal rights parable, plus lots of rollicking space opera, aliens, and, of course, interplanetary monsters (some of them human).
This volume also includes a complete reproduction of EC’s special issue devoted to its own 32-page “illustrated, factual flying saucer report,” with art by Orlando, Wallace Wood, George Evans, and Reed Crandall.
Plus, a heartfelt foreword by former DC publisher Paul Levitz, who began his career in comics when Orlando hired him as an assistant, an introduction by Thommy Burns, and featured essays and commentary by EC experts.

Natalie Norris: Dear Mini – A Graphic Memoir Book One
This debut graphic memoir (the first of two books, with Book Two coming in 2025) is a bittersweet coming of age story that chronicles the author’s teenage experiences with sexual assault, PTSD, and resiliency.
Dear Mini is not a cautionary tale; rather, it is a vivid (at turns hilariously and uncomfortably so) depiction of adolescent agency in the face of trauma, tracing Norris’s journey from wayward wild-child to resilient adult who has harnessed her voice after almost a decade of silence.
Told in the form of an illustrated letter to an old friend, Dear Mini recounts the author’s experience going abroad to attend a language immersion program in France after her sophomore year of high school.
She meets Mini, an Austrian student who shares her predilection for illicit adventure, and the two quickly form a bond that they expect to last well after they go their separate ways.
But when Natalie visits Mini ten months after their last face-to-face, something has changed.
Their nocturnal exploits veer head-on into disaster.
Norris’s spirited and free-flowing page designs and full color cartooning bring her frank voice and personality to life, making Dear Mini one of the most compelling graphic memoir debuts of 2023.

Susan Schade & Jon Buller: Nudism Comes to Connecticut
Frank Mallett, inspired by cooperative colonies he had visited in Europe, returned home envisioning utopian communities of bohemian emigrés and artistic intellectuals proliferating in sylvan harmony.
With the crash of 1929 his already floundering enterprises seemed doomed — until he discovered a growing interest in healthy, wholesome nudism.
Closely based on actual people and events, Nudism Comes to Connecticut exposes the conflict between the ecstasy of the “exquisite naked plunge” and voyeurism, competitiveness, and greed by way of many period writings and letters.
Although Frank’s love of nature never falters, he learns that there is more to nudism than meets the eye.
Nudism is veteran children’s book authors Jon Buller and Susan Schade’s first published graphic novel, lovingly rendered in delicate, indeed, enticing, pen lines.

You know art can come from many places. And most great art is about truly despicable people, like me.
In that spirit, you should buy The Joker: Uncovered to see a murderer’s row of the world’s greatest comic book artists commit my beautiful image to dozens of wonderful variant covers, all collected in one place for the very first time.
Expand your mind a little bit, and take in some good art.
Dave Sim & David Birdsong: The Aversions #1
Aversions Dissemble!
The rallying cry of the hottest new super-team in comics!
Borderline Bobbiey The Costume! Spider-Whore! Cerebus! Giant, Stupid Dante!
The classic line-up that probably won’t be seen again until the Hollywood Summer Blockbuster three decades from now where they’ll all be pretty much unrecognizable!
Get all four origins-and their first adventure-under one cover!
Who they are and how they came to be! It begins here!
Because every super-team needs to start somewhere before the publisher starts dicking around with the line-up to give even more lame characters a sales jolt in their own books!
Two crooks rob a store, shoot a policeman and hide out in a cemetery to hide their stolen funds, when suddenly Mr. Lucifer appears, being freed by the crook’s actions.
Lucifer then frees his evil minions and together all go forth to commit dastardly deeds.
By a quirk of fate, Lucifer and his followers trap themselves in a grave of cement.
And taking inspiration from the 1920 silent horror film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, meet Paul Barer.
Who visits a mental hospital and interviews a patient, who says he was turned into a ‘living corpse’ and used as a stage performer abducting celebrities who were then put into a trance and displayed in a wax museum!
