(W/A) Seth Celebrated cartoonist Seth gives us the fictional life of George Sprott. On the surface George seems a charming, foolish, old man, but who is he? And who was he? Told as a patchwork tale, we come to know George, piece by piece, in a series of 'interviews,' flashbacks, and personal reminiscences. George Sprott is a story about time, identity, loss, and the persistence of memory. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

(W/A) Tove Jansson More delightful tales from the legendary Finnish artist '[Jansson's] strips, more than 800 in five years, stand as perennial classics of children's literature across the Nordic lands . . .

Each of the eight stories in the collection is lifted from the Edo-era Japanese storytelling form rakugo. As Tatsumi notes in the afterword, the world of rakugo, filled with mystery, emotion, revenge, hope, and of course, love, overlaps perfectly with the world of gekiga that he has spent the better part of his life developing. These stories resonate with modern readers thanks to their comedic elements and familiarity with human idiosyncrasies. Tatsumi's love of wordplay shines through, yet he still offers timeless insight into human nature. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

As night falls in the City of Belgium, three strangers in their late twenties - a most dangerous age - arrive at a popular restaurant. Jona is about to move away; he calls his wife, who's already settled in Berlin, before trying to make plans with friends for one last night on the town. No one bites, but he's determined to make this night something to remember. Victoria is lively and energetic, but surrounded by friends and family who are buzzkills, always worrying about what is best for her. Rodolphe glumly considers his own misery and then suddenly snaps out of it, becoming the life of the party. The three careen through the city's nightlife spots and underbelly, chasing pleasure-or at least a few distractions from their daily lives. Each has a series of adventures that reveal them to be teetering on the edge between lucid dream and tooth-grinding nightmare. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

Geneviève Castrée has long been beloved for her mini-comics, comics, visual art, and music. There is a unique quality to all of her artistic endeavors - quiet, serene, depressing. Castrée's keen eye for detail and her fearless ability to probe the depths of her troubled past make Susceptible a stirring portrait of an artist coming into her own. Susceptible is the story of Goglu, a daydreamer growing up in Quebec in the '80s and '90s with a single mother. From a skillful artist comes a moving, beautiful story about families, loss, and growing up. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

Don't take the title as a metaphor: it really is the worst book ever. Governor General Literary Award winning children's book author and illustrator Elise Gravel takes readers on an unexpected journey through the world's most boring book. The story's characters and omniscient readers alike quickly become annoyed by the author's bland imagination and rebel against her tired tropes and stale character choices, spouting sass in an attempt to get her attention and steer the narrative in a more interesting direction. With Gravel's signature goofy characters behind the wheel, no silly twist or rude body function is off the table! (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

Yoshihiro Tatsumi has been called 'the grandfather of Japanese alternative comics' and has influenced generations of cartoonists around the world. Now the visionary creator of The Push Man and Good-Bye has turned his incisive, unflinching gaze upon himself. A Drifting Life is Tatsumi's most ambitious, personal, and heart-felt work: an autobiographical bildungsroman in comics form. Using his life-long obsession with comics as a framework, Tatsumi weaves a complex story that encompasses family dynamics, Japanese culture and history, first love, the intricacies of the manga industry, and most importantly, what it means to be an artist.

Jimmy is a teenager in a crummy little town. He's got a lousy best friend, a porn habit, and an uncle whose miserable existence is the embodiment of life stalled in its tracks. He's also got a tender soul, a pure-hearted crush, and the makings of a budding artist. A horrible YouTube video of Jimmy dancing in his living room becomes viral and makes every sweet and hopeful thing about Jimmy seem utterly pathetic. Everyone from fellow classmates to the clerk at the corner store has seen the video, and Jimmy finds himself a celebrity in his town, just for the wrong reasons.

Doug Wright's pantomime strip about the life of a suburban family moves into the mid-1960s and the pop culture of the time begins to seep in. Wright covers almost every bit of domestic mayhem that parents and their kids experience throughout the year. There are strips about school, as seen through the eyes of mischievous kids: fear of bad report cards; figuring out how to play hooky without being caught; dreading being called on by the teacher.
