For almost a century chemical photobooths have occupied public spaces. In the last decade these machines have started to rapidly disappear, causing an eclectic group of individuals from around the world to come together and respond. Meags Fitzgerald has chronicled the photobooth's fortuitous history and the events that gave rise to the desperate need to save them. Having traveled in North America, Europe and Australia, she's constructed a biography of the booth through the eyes of technicians, owners, collectors, artists, and fanatics.

'Feast of Fields' is a reference to the picnics Karemaker took with his mother in the upper fields of his elementary school. It is a graphic biography of the artist's mother who grew up in Denmark in an orphanage because her mother suffered from paranoid schizophrenia, and her father had left her and her siblings behind. The story weaves between her story in the past and the artist's present. Karemaker constructs the graphic novel through a series of scrolls, densely illustrated, then cut up to make the pages of the book, creating a truly unique visual experience.

A morally ambiguous fable for the #MeToo movement. Drawn with guileful clarity and bite, The Unknown is a story of deceit, self-deception and the search for happiness. One day, Helen finds a newborn abandoned in a changing room in her boutique. She decides to keep it, nested in a cardboard box and hidden even from her husband. Vicky and Wanda are boarding school roommates. Wanda talks Vicky into turning tricks. Meanwhile, Vicky can't keep her secrets from Wanda - not her affair with their history teacher, and not the pregnancy she tries to sabotage and yet stubbornly carries out. As the two narratives converge, coincidences and secrets are revealed. Incisive, wicked and breezily unconcerned by taboos, Anna Sommer lets readers put together the pieces of her morally ambiguous fable. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

Powered by an expressive black and white drawing style, reminiscent of Robert Crumb and the meticulous pointillist technique of Drew Friedman, the dark undertone of Nina Bunjevac's humor brings into light the range of socio-political issues her comics deal with, such as gender, nationalism or urban alienation, always from an ironic feminist perspective. Her chain-smoking, slightly alcoholic and manically depressed character Zorka may just be today's ultimate antiheroine. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

Olive's post-secondary education isn't what they'd planned. Instead of college, they spend five days a week, eight hours a day at what Olive calls 'Food School': a full-time outpatient program for eating disorder recovery where they learn, talk, and cry about eating disorders as part of a survivor support group. Intensely committed to recovery, Olive confronts the secretive, self-destructive, and sometimes tragically comedic nature of their illness, while struggling with the complexities of modern mental health care. With support and perspective from their roommate, a fellow patient, and their partner, Olive learns to open up about their abusive relationship with food and exercise-and finds ways to cope with the reality of living in a society that actively encourages disordered eating.

'The wide open prairie, the domestication of garden gnomes, the psychoanalytic breakdown of 8-bit video games; into these and other subjects Dakota McFadzean digs with his pen and brush, unearthing truths that discomfit even as they entertain. This collection of his best work to date mashes cuteness into cruelty, hope into resignation, and life into death, leaving us with one slow-burning ball of phosphorescent comics.' - Jason Lutes (Berlin) (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels
