An ambitious book presented in a unique accordion-style format from the winner of the 2012 Lynd Ward Graphic Novel prize. Imagine you are Poseidon at the dawn of the twenty-first century. The oceans are dying and sailors have long since stopped paying tribute. They just don't need you anymore. What do you do? Perhaps, seeking answers, you go exploring. Maybe you end up in Wisconsin and discover the pleasures of the iced latte. And then everything goes wrong. Using beautifully hewn silhouettes and an accordion-style layout that unfolds to more than forty feet in length, Anders Nilsen updates Greek myth and Christian allegory with insightful and devastating wit.

Keiler Roberts mines the passing moments of family life to deliver an affecting and funny account of what it means to simultaneously exist as a mother, daughter, wife, and artist. Drawn in an unassuming yet charming staccato that mimics the awkward rhythm of life, no one's foibles are left unspared, most often the author's own. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

For more than five years the cartoonist Lynda Barry has been teaching students from all majors, both graduate and undergraduate, how to make comics, how to be creative, how to not think. There is no academic lecture in this classroom. Doodling is enthusiastically encouraged. Making Comics is the follow-up to barry's bestselling Syllabus and this time she shares all of her comics-making exercises. At the core of Making Comics is her certainty that creativity is vital to processing the world around us. (immagine) Categoria: Books: novel/sci fi/horror

A haunting postmodern fable, Big Questions is the magnum opus of Anders Nilsen, one of the brightest and most talented young cartoonists working today. This beautiful minimalist story details the metaphysical quandaries of the occupants of an endless plain, existing somewhere between a dream and a Russian steppe. A downed plane is thought to be a bird and the unexploded bomb that came from it is mistaken for a giant egg by the group of birds whose lives the story follows. The indifferent, stranded pilot is of great interest to the birds-some doggedly seek his approval, while others do quite the opposite, leading to tensions in the group. Available in both softcover and hardcover edition, the new hardcover printing is signed and numbered by the author. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

Ant Colony follows the denizens of a black ant colony under attack from the nearby red ants. On the surface, it's the story of this war, the destruction of a civilization, and the ants' all-too-familiar desire to rebuild. Underneath, though, Ant Colony plumbs the deepest human concerns - loneliness, faith, love, apathy, and more. All of this is done with humor and sensitivity, exposing a world where spiders can wreak unimaginable amounts of havoc with a single gnash of their jaws. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

It's the early 2000s. Lauren is fifteen, soft-spoken, and ashamed of her body. When her bible-thumping parents forbid Lauren to bring evolution textbooks home, she opts to study at her schoolmate Mariah's house. That evening Mariah gives Lauren a makeover and they have what becomes Lauren's first queer encounter. Jessica Campbell uses frankness and dark humour to articulate Lauren's burgeoning crisis of faith and sexuality. Rave is a coming of age story about the secret spaces young women create and the wider social structures that fail them. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

(W/A) John Stanley In John Stanley's version of the beloved Brillo-headed character, Nancy is no longer a crabby cipher but a hilarious, brilliant, scheming, duplicitous, honest, and loyal little kid - a real little kid. Her adventures with her best friend, the comically destitute Sluggo, involve moneymaking schemes to afford ice-cream sodas, botched trips to the corner store for Nancy's Aunt Fritzi, and comically raucous attempts to remove loose teeth.

This new paperback edition of Daniel Clowes' modern classic celebrates the Alexander Payne-produced film version starring Woody Harrelson and Laura Dern. One of the leading cartoonists of our time creates a thoroughly engaging, complex, and fascinating portrait of the modern egoist-outspoken and oblivious to the world around him. Working in a single-page-gag format and drawing in a spectrum of styles, the cartoonist of Ghost World, Ice Haven, and The Death-Ray gives us his funniest and most deeply affecting novel to date.

For over thirty years, bestselling author, screenwriter, and New Yorker cover artist Adrian Tomine's work has set the standard for contemporary storytelling. With Tomine, his readership has grown from the dedicated following of his comic-book series Optic Nerve to include a wider but still engaged, opinionated, and ever-inquiring public. And now, for the first time in print, Tomine responds to his readers directly, tackling their questions and comments with generosity, humor, and vulnerability. Q&A is one part personal history, one part masterclass in crafting quality entertainment. With questions pulled from his time at the Substack Writers' Residency, and with additional, new material, Q&A is an indispensable addition to the collections of eagle-eyed fans and aspiring artists, writers, and cartoonists alike. The artist looks back on his career in response to queries from his-maybe adoring but mostly curious-public with his signature dry wit and unflinching, self-deprecating honesty.

The 2007 New York Times Book Review Notable Book, lauded for its provocative and insightful portrayal of interpersonal relationships, was one of the most acclaimed books in recent years. Tomine tackles modern culture, sexual mores, and racial politics with brutal honesty and lacerating, irreverent humor, while deftly bringing to life a cast of painfully real antihero characters.

But soon, he is tasked with assassinating his teacher Akame who has joined forces with a high-powered merchant.
