From the award-winning author of The Last Rose Of Summer and This Side Of Jordan comes a new prose novel framed within a city where gangsters murder ordinary citizens and everyone seems to have a get-rich scheme. Set as the Roaring '20s come to a thunderous close, The Big Town evokes a lost era through language and flamboyant characters reminiscent of Fitzgerald, Dos Passos and Ring Lardner, and yet it also eerily mirrors our own time with its study of the role of business, crime, morality, and love in our lives.

This long-unavailable first volume of the multiple awardwinning Complete Crumb Comics series, one of our most demanded reprints, has now been expanded to include a never-before-published, 48-page 'home-made' Arcade comic from 1962. This previously undiscovered work shows many flashes of the direction in which Crumb was heading and features the first quintessential 'Crumb girl,' Mabel. This is Ground Zero for perhaps the greatest cartoonist who ever lived. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

As Peanuts reaches the mid-1980s, Charles Schulz is still creating new characters, and in this volume Snoopy's brother Spike takes center stage. In romantic news, the Peppermint Patty-Marcie-Charlie Brown love triangle heats up while Linus continues to deny that he is Sally's 'Sweet Babboo.' Lucy's pursuit of Schroeder continues and romance blossoms between two of Snoopy's 'Beagle Scout' birds. All this plus appearances from the cover-featured Franklin, Rerun, and the rest of the gang from a period of Peanuts that's far less well-known than the 1960s and 1970s strips.

Fantagraphics' ever-popular series of Hal Foster's epic masterpiece forges ahead with Val's adventures continuing unabated despite his recent betrothal. Scanned once again from superb syndicate proofs, half the strips in this volume also include Foster's bonus 'Medieval Castle' strip, a chronicle of two young boys growing up during the time of the First Crusade. But by the end of the 1945 strips this series has ended and the Valiant portion resumes its full-page glory. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

by Charles Schulz As we rush toward the end of Peanuts' second full decade, Snoopy finds himself almost completely engrossed in his persona as the 'World War I Flying Ace' - to the point where he goes to camp with Charlie Brown and maintains his persona throughout the entire two-week period (much to Peppermint Patty's bafflement). Snoopy dominates this volume with his various adventures and his dealing with the return of his original owner, Lila. If you're surprised by that last one, imagine how Charlie Brown feels! Lila makes only a brief appearance, but this volume sees the appearance of what would be Schulz's most controversial major character: Franklin. (Yes, in 1968 the introduction of a black character caused a stir.) Peppermint Patty, working toward her ascendancy as one of the major Peanuts players in the 1970s and 1980s, also has several major turns, including a storyline in which she's the tent monitor for three little girls - who call her 'Sir.'

By R. Crumb 144 pages, b/w with 16 pages of full-color, 8 1/2' x 11' $19.99 Paperback Back in print after a several-year absence, and with Crumb's popularity ever-rising, the seventh volume of The Complete Crumb Comics spotlights Crumb's work from 1970 and 1971, the peak years of Crumb's hippie stardom which led to 'the grip of paralyzing, crippling self-consciousness that for years became increasingly harder to push past,' as Crumb writes in his introduction.

This collection also includes a skeptical report-in-comics on an aerospace symposium (commissioned by CoEvolution Quarterly, it comes off like a forerunner of Michael Moore's cocky documentary films), Crumb's encounter with a pot-smoking interviewer from high Times magazine, an evocative period piece featuring 1930s jazz musicians, another of Crumb's collaborative 'jams' with wife Aline Kominsky, and other pieces.

by Hans Rickheit AN ANACHRONISTIC PARABLE FOR THE CONVULSIVE ELITE What is the squirrel machine? Is it a rodent ensnarement device? A mecha nism for concealing one's guarded harvest? An anachronistic fable? A meaning less diversion? Set in a fictional 19th Century New England town, the narrative initially details the relationship and maturation of Edmund and William Torpor. But the two brothers quickly elicit the scorn and recrimination of an unamused public when they reveal their musical creations built from strange technologies and scavenged animal carcasses. Driven to seek a concealment for their aberrant activities, they make a startling discovery. Perhaps they will divine the mystery of the squirrel machine. What is The squirrel Machine? o An immutably strange and haunting narrative that transcends known logics and presumptive dream-barriers; o A distillation of subconscious beauty and inspired madness; o A dangerous object for the incautious; o A revelation for the undernourished crypto-seeker; o The virgin caress of unconsummated apocalypse; o The unspeakable thing that you always knew. It's also the longest and most ambitious graphic novel by legendary obscurantist cartoonist Hans Rickheit, 200 pages of exquisitely rendered pictorial narrative. Meticulous, strange, and hauntingly beautiful, this enigmatic work will ensure the inquisitive reader a spleenful of cerebral serenity that will take exposure to vast quantities of mediocrity to dispel. HANS RICKHEIT was born in 1973 and grew up in New England, lived in the basement of an eccentric art gallery/performance space called the Zeitgeist Gallery from 1997 to 2002, and currently resides in Philadelphia. He is the author of the graphic novel Chloe, the comics series Chrome Fetus, and has appeared in various anthologies, including Paper Rodeo, hoax, and Kramers Ergot.

by Monte Schulz 6 x 9, HC, 304 pages, $22.99 BE CAREFUL! WARNING! CAUTION! WARNING! THIS IS A PROSE NOVEL! THIS IS NOT A COMIC BOOK OR GRAPHIC NOVEL! Written for his father, the late cartoonist, Charles M. Schulz, Monte Schulz's PROSE NOVEL opens in the spring of 1929, as the 19 year old consumptive farm boy Alvin Pendergast attends an ill-fated dance marathon he's too sickly to participate in. After a year of his life has been stolen by a sanitarium, an invitation for a late-night slice of pie is too seductive to pass up and before he knows it, Alvin finds himself up to his eyeballs in horror, beauty, strangeness and death. THIS SIDE OF JORDAN weds the phantasmagoric with the Southern Gothic literary tradition all in search of the common as well as the cosmic satori of our experience. Cover by Al Columbia!

(W) Monte Schulz $29.99 / HC / 304 pgs PROSE NOVEL! Monte Schulz, son of celebrated Peanuts cartoonist Charles Schulz, examines the surprising truths of three strong-willed women in the summer of 1929. Schulz delicately charts the tender rhythms of a small East Texas town as its inhabitants grapple with identity as related to gender, race and family. With respect, this generous novel tunes our emotions to the collective and poetic web of experience, shattering the varnish of everyday fiction into a constellation of real life.
