FANTAGRAPHICS BOOKS

by John Daly Fantagraphics Books is proud to announce the debut collection of John Daly, the first book the company has published by a South African cartoonist. Daly's cartoons, offbeat, hallucinatory, and often hilarious, seems descendant from the substance-induced work of Robert Crumb, Gilbert Shelton, Victor Moscoso, and S. Clay Wilson, filtered through the artist's own unique vision and sense of the absurd. Stories alternate between full-color and black-and-white, and range from representational Jim Jarmusch-like scenarios to wild visual excursions, albeit linear ones.

FANTAGRAPHICS BOOKS

by Megan Kelso The Squirrel Mother is Megan Kelso's second collection of graphic short stories, all of which originally appeared in various magazines and anthologies between 2000 and 2005. Kelso's work is characterized by subject matter that fits roughly into two disparate camps: personal and semi-autobiographical stories that draw heavily on the details of her childhood and adolescence, and stories about the idea of America and American history, such as a trilogy of short pieces about Alexander Hamilton. The Squirrel Mother features 15 stories, including two stories, 'Meow Face' and 'Aide de Camp' done especially for this volume. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

FANTAGRAPHICS BOOKS

by Gilbert Hernandez Gilbert Hernandez's first original graphic novel from Fantagraphics tells the story about a little orphan girl who lives in the slum of slums. Nobody knows who she is or where she's from, but her fellow shantytown inhabitants collectively look over her. The three-act story follows our heroine as she is adopted by a decent man who raises her well, and she eventually marries a kind, well-to-do man, only to discover that she can't relate to the good life and the comforts it provides.

FANTAGRAPHICS BOOKS

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.' Introduction by John Waters. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

FANTAGRAPHICS BOOKS

by Debbie Drechsler Originally published in 1995 and distributed only to comic book specialty stores, Daddy's Girl was ahead of its time - Drechsler's account of her abuse at the hands of her father, told from the point of view of an adolescent, is one of the most searingly honest, empathic, and profoundly disturbing uses of the comics medium in history. Drechsler's meticulous brush lines gather into heavy textures that suggest the claustrophobic tension of the environment that threatens her pre-teen and adolescent female protagonists. Characters such as Lily, who can't escape her father's abuse, and Franny, a girl whose desire to be accepted leads her into dangerous territory, struggle not to be visually and emotionally overwhelmed. Central to this quasi-memoir is Lily's relationship to her father - a confused jumble of fear, trepidation, and love. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

FANTAGRAPHICS BOOKS

by Josh Simmons Hot on the heels of his first graphic novel, House, Simmon's Jessica Farm fuses serialized adventure, fantasy, and psychological horror and stamps it with his signature macabre sensibility in his atmospheric new graphic novel. Like a Lynchian take on Alice in Wonderland, Jessica Farm opens with an exterior of what could be any Midwestern farmhouse. Once inside, we track the titular heroine as she bounds out of bed on Christmas morning and goes about her routine, eventually breakfasting with her grandparents. The banality of the situation is subverted by a ratcheting sense of dread, as we discover that Jessica's increasingly nightmarish house is filled with creatures around every corner - some whimsical, some sexual, some despairing, and some malevolent.

by Kevin Huizenga Everyman Glenn Ganges ruminates on the simple times of the dot-com era when the reality of business was propped up by the unreality of addictive technology and hope.

FANTAGRAPHICS BOOKS

by Igort Baobab focuses again on the orphaned eight-year-old Japanese boy from a century ago, Hiroshi. A toy is stolen in the village, and Hiroshi is wrongly accused of its theft; also, his grandmother realizes that she will die soon and tells Hiroshi that an old friend of his father's is coming to fetch him and bring him to Tokyo. Meanwhile, on the other side of the globe, the burgeoning cartoonist Celestino is publishing in new comics in the Eco di Papassinas newspaper, but a racist right-wing group take over the paper. Baobab is the most ambitious of the 'Ignatz' line, with a complex, globe-spanning series of narratives that explore the world of hope, dreams, and creativity. (immagine) Categoria: Comics

by Igort Manga fans will relish Baobab, a series set, at least initially, in Japan at the turn of the last century (during the Meji era), when a small, sickly, orphaned boy on the outskirts of Tokyo grows up hearing the stories his grandmother tells of her youth as the daughter of a Navy officer. Igort's ambitious series traces an alternate history of the very beginnings of the comic strip artform, with subtle nods toward such masters as Winsor McCay and George Herriman.
