This powerful graphic memoir is essential for those interested in stories of artistic freedom, resilience, and the ongoing struggle for expression—a struggle that remains deeply relevant amid the current turmoil in Iran. Can a cartoon cause riots? It seems unbelievable, but for Mana Neyestani it's true. One of his cartoons sparked riots, shuttered the newspaper he worked for, and landed the cartoonist in solitary confinement inside of Iran's notorious prison system. Mana Neyestani's story, which can only be described as Kafkaesque, is vividly brought to life in An Iranian Metamorphosis. Mana Neyestani (born 1973, in Tehran) is an Iranian cartoonist and illustrator for economic, intellectual, political, cultural, and professional magazines. He is particularly known for his work with the newspaper Zan and Persian-language Radio Zamaneh. He is the recipient of the Cartoonists Rights Network International award for courage in editorial cartooning, 2010. He now lives in France.

For almost two decades, Julia Wertz has been documenting her life’s most intimate, absurd, and amusing moments in a whimsical, hilarious diary comic book called The Fart Party. Wertz retells childhood antics that end in scars and swears. She tracks her young adulthood in real time as she forgets her college graduation, travels cross-country by train, and drinks her way through a harsh breakup. After receiving much acclaim (and controversy), The Fart Party became a series of self-published mini-comics, eventually collected into two volumes, published by Atomic Books. Long out of print, Museum of Mistakes collects anything and everything that is The Fart Party. PLUS: numerous pages of Julia’s early comic work, unpublished and previously uncollected comics, short stories, illustrations, process pages, hate mail, sketchbook pages, tear stains, and more. This massive tome begs the question, "what is a Fart Party?" And the answer is... you'll have to read to find out! Julia Wertz is the cartoonist behind the autobiographic comic books The Fart Party vol 1 and vol 2 (Atomic Books, 2007/2009), Drinking at the Movies (Random House, 2010), and The Infinite Wait and Other Stories (Koyama Press, 2012), and Tenements, Towers & Trash (Hachette, Oct 2017). Her work appears regularly in The New Yorker and the New York Times. See her comics at juliawertz.com and her photography of abandoned places at adventurebibleschool.com. She currently lives in Petaluma, California. (immagine)
