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

Andy's life is going nowhere, fast. He left art school with his career all worked out ahead of time, but to say it didn't work out is the understatement of the century. Unemployed and living with his overbearing parents, Andy struggles to keep sight of the lofty goals that once drove him. But it's hard, even when he reconnects with his old art school crush, Yumi. Things look better, briefly, with Yumi back in the picture and an actual job offer on the table. But then Andy takes the job offer - to work at a zoo - and finds himself in an alternate dimension. The zoo? Is run by aliens. The exhibit? Is him. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

When James O'Barr poured the pain and anguish of a personal tragedy into the drawings that comprise The Crow, his intensely cathartic story of Eric - who returns from the dead to avenge his and his fiancée's murder at the hands of a street gang - resonated with readers around the world. Now, the illustrated tale that became a screen triumph is re-released in an expanded version the author originally intended, complete at last with 30 pages of never-before-seen artwork, including a new closing segment, 'Sparklehorse,' and the touching new scene, 'An August Noel.'
