From Fantagraphics Books. In the latest volume of the acclaimed series about transgendered kids exploring their unfolding identities, we've reached a big event; the junior high school entrance ceremony. The boys wear black uniforms with stand-up collars based on mid-19th century European military uniforms and the girls wear navy blazers, tan skirts, and red ribbon neckties. Enter our heroes; Nitori-kun is forced to wear a boy's uniform while Takatsuki-san has to wear a girl's! Yet one girl, 'Sarashia Chizuru', draws stares, whispers, and pointed fingers, because this long-haired beauty is wearing a boy's uniform. Both Nitori-kun and Takatsuki-san are awed by the girl's courage, but Takatsuki-san is particularly vexed by their own faintheartedness. They envy more than a few other students who experience such liberty in wearing either uniform and ponder what it ultimately means about themselves. Envy and jealousy are prominent themes in Volume 5: Chiba-san is jealous of Takatsuki-san, for whom Nitori-kun still carries a torch. Maho envies Anna-chan's professionalism as a model. And Chii-chan's loyal sidekick, Shiri Momoko, is intensely jealous of anyone in whom Chii-chan shows the slightest interest. And so our protagonists set off on the journey to adolescence.

A MEMOIR OF CHILDHOOD, FAMILY, MENTAL ILLNESS AND CATS Veteran alternative cartoonist Jesse Reklaw, creator of the long-running weekly comic strip Slow Wave, delivers this tragicomic graphic memoir, his first long-form work. Presented as a series of comic novellas that together comprise a thoughtful, sometimes dark and often hilarious memoir about childhood, family, death, mental illness, sex and drug use, the entire book is told through cleverly inviting conceits like cat histories and card games. The graphic novel is told in five parts: In 'Thirteen Cats' (featured in The Best American Comics), Reklaw discovers coping mechanisms that mimic his family pets; 'Toys I Love' relates the author's pre-pubescent brushes with deviant sexual activity, and the way innocence converges with real sexual trauma; 'The Fred Robinson Story' tells the story of Reklaw's period stalking perfect strangers; 'The Stacked Deck,' in which hereditary influences towards criminal behavior, drug use and depression are explored via card games the author played with his family; and 'Lessoned,' a family history of mental illness.

TWO ACID-FUELED TEENS ON A TRAGICOMIC ROAD TRIP This original graphic novella is a funny and moving story of escalating humor and tension between two disaffected teens, Mike and Wolf, who take a spontaneous summer road trip after dropping acid. As the stark black and white of Forsman's cartooning indicates, however, this is not a psychedelic, Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby kind of trip. Instead of the escapism they crave from their fragile home lives, the LSD only heightens their sense of ennui, exacerbates their fears about the world they're about to enter as adults, and creates doubts about everything they think they know. Though not entirely what they bargained for, will Mike and Wolf look back on their adventure as part of the 'celebrated summer' of their never-to-berecaptured youth, or a carelessly wasted part of the best years of their lives? Or both? (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

A CRIME THRILLER DOUBLES AS AN ADAPTATION-STYLE META-LOVE AND ROCKETS STORY A woman comes to the U.S. from Latin America to escape her shady past, only to fall into a new shady life. After a go at the adult entertainment business, Maria marries a drug lord and her dangerous past is nothing compared to her new life in America. The drug lord's son, Gorgo, secretly falls in love with her and he watches over her like a guardian angel. Danger and corruption (and of course sex) drive the first half of this love story. Long-time Love and Rockets readers will find the storyline familiar... and that's because, in an Adaptation-style meta twist, Maria M. is actually the B-movie film adaptation of the life story of Luba's mother Maria, as previously seen in its 'real' version in the classic graphic novel Poison River (available in the Beyond Palomar collection) - starring Maria's own daughter playing her own mother. Confused? Don't be! Maria M. will work perfectly on its own terms as the kind of violent, sexy pulp tale that Gilbert Hernandez has proven so adept at these past several years, and the 'source material' for the story will just provide an extra layer of delight for the cognoscenti. Part two of Maria M. will be released in 2014. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

PREMIERE GRAPHIC NOVEL FROM 'IGNATZ' AWARD WINNER TEotFW follows James and Alyssa, two teenagers living a seemingly typical teen experience as they face the fear of coming adulthood. Forsman tells their story through each character's perspective, jumping between points of view with each chapter. But quickly, this somewhat familiar teenage experience takes a more nihilistic turn as James's character exhibits a rapidly forming sociopathy that threatens both of their futures. He harbors violent fantasies and begins to act on them, while Alyssa remains as willfully ignorant for as long as she can, blinded by young love. Forsman's story highlights the disdain, fear and existential search that many teenagers fear, but through a road trip drama that owes as much to Badlands as The Catcher in the Rye. Forsman's inviting, Charles Schulz-influenced style lends a deadpan quality that underscores the narrative's tension. The End of the Fucking World is certain to be one of the most talked-about graphic novels of 2013. Forsman is arguably the most acclaimed talent to come out of the Center for Cartoon Studies, a school founded in 2004 by graphic novelist James Sturm and educator Michelle Ollie in White River Junction, VT. Forsman graduated in 2008 and is a two-time Ignatz Award-winner for his self-published minicomic, Snake Oil. The End of the Fucking World is his first graphic novel.

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. CHANCE IN HELL further establishes Gilbert Hernandez as one of the greatest cartoonists of our age. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

The third in Gilbert Hernandez's line of original hardcovers (Chance in Hell and The Troublemakers) is a trippy thriller. This volume continues the career of B-movie actress Fritz, who first appeared in the Love & Rockets graphic novels. In this 'movie', a beautiful waitress and her brother visit their estranged father in order to find out why their mother committed suicide. The story weaves in and out of reality and possibly back in forth in time. To complicate things further, the sister is sexually obsessed with a mysterious man throughout the tale - or is it her brother? And that's only the tip of the iceberg.

Mother, Come Home is Paul Hornschemeier's piercing graphic-novel debut: it secured the cartoonist's place as one of his generation's most skillful and ambitious practitioners, and proved a harbinger of the subject matter that the artist would go on to explore most consistently in later work: the nuclear family.Mother, Come Home quietly studies the inner lives of recently widowed David and his 7-year-old son, Thomas; both are unable to deal with their grief directly. Thomas, protected by a lion's mask that his mother gave him, constructs an identity for himself as 'the groundskeeper': ritual and routine, already important to children that age, become paramount to him. He struggles desperately to keep up appearances while his father, a professor of symbolic logic, becomes lost in abstractions. Father and son begin to retreat into their fantasies, but only one emerges.Mother, Come Home is masterfully drawn: Eisner-, Harvey-, and Ignatz-Award-nominated Hornschemeier's controlled brushwork is clean, and his nine-panel page layouts pace David's inexorable descent into utter despair. Hornschemeier is equally precise when it comes to Mother, Come Home's color palette: subdued but warm, which suits the story's melancholy and contemplative mode. Mother, Come Home is a powerful work, and, because of its universal themes of anguish and loss, has resonance beyond its core audience of alternative-comics readers.

A HEFTY VOLUME OF UNCOLLECTED WORK FROM THE ACCLAIMED CREATOR OF ThE ThREE PARAdoxEs All and sundry: Uncollected Work 2004-2009 corrals Paul Hornschemeier's work from the last five years - work previously ungathered, and in many cases never before seen in print. These works span the globe, from periodicals to museums, including: conceptual drawings and comics of Ulysses S. Grant created for an exhibit in Paris; an award-winning cover exhibited in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London; the seventeen-part serialized tale of divine intervention, non-linearity, and social webs 'Huge Suit Visits the People' created for the celebrated German newspaper Frankurter Allgemeine Zeitung; and comic strips for The Wall street Journal and CNN featuring the unlikely cartoon protagonists of Michael Jackson, Sylvester Stallone as Rambo, and the 'gray fox,' Anderson Cooper. In addition to these oddities, All and sundry collects covers and designs from multiple foreign editions of Paul's books, ranging from Holland to Korea, as well as short, illustrated prose (thus far seen only in the pages of the anthology Mome). The collection concludes with extensive selections from sketches and sketchbooks, providing an unusual glimpse at the chaotic world of Hornschemeier's work, before the polishing of lines and colors of the printed page. Here we see how works have developed and what the future holds for still gestating projects. All and sundry, perhaps more than any previous collection of Hornschemeier's work, demonstrates the variety and depth of the artist's interests and pursuits, and invites an examination of the entirety of his process, from first fevered scrawl to final, pristine brush line. PAUL HORNSCHEMEIER is the creator of Mother, Come home and The Three Paradoxes. He lives in Chicago, IL. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels
