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.

How does an artist reconcile being forced to go to the front line of a brutal conflict that will change his life and homeland forever? What happens when a reporter finally comes face to face with an evil war criminal? In Soba, Joe Sacco captures the internal torment of the romanticized Sarajevo artist-warrior who captivated the western media with his guitar and hard partying ways. In Christmas with Karadzic, Sacco gives the reader an inside peek of the darkly humorous news process that doesn't make the headlines back home as he chases after one of the most hated and sought-after Bosnian Serb leaders and war criminals.

Marguerite Abouet and Clement Oubrerie's world-renowned and critically acclaimed series about '80s life in the Ivory Coast continues with Aya: Face the Music. After getting thrown in jail for organizing a student housing protest, Aya must grapple with the aftermath of her decisions. Her friends don't have it much easier. Her classmate Cyprien has been unconscious since police violently broke up their demonstration, and his family can barely scrape together funds for treatment. Her dear friend Albert, last seen passing out at dinner with his family, awakes in the countryside in the clutches of a healer his father has hired to pray his gay away. In France, Albert's ex-paramour Inno agrees to enter into a fake marriage with his friend Sabine with surprising results. And back in Abidjan, embattled starlet Bintou must find a way to capitalize on the public's newfound sympathy after her house is burned down by an angry mob. This contemporary classic of Ivorian literature bridges the gap between the past and present, proving that no matter how much things may change, we change with them too.

Shenzhen is entertainingly compact with Guy Delisle's observations of life in urban southern China, sealed off from the rest of the country by electric fences and armed guards. With a dry wit and a clean line, Delisle makes the most of his time spent in Asia overseeing outsourced production for a French animation company. He brings to life the quick pace of Shenzhen's crowded streets. By translating his fish-out-of-water experiences into accessible graphic novels, Delisle skillfully notes the differences between Western and Eastern cultures, while also conveying his compassion for the simple freedoms that escape his colleagues in the Communist state.

(W/A) Seth In his first graphic novel, Seth pays homage to the old-fashioned magazine cartoon. While trying to understand his ennui, Seth discovers the life and work of Kalo, a forgotten New Yorker cartoonist from the 1940s. But his obsession blinds him to the needs of his lover and the quiet desperation of his family. Wry self-reflection and moody colors characterize this tale about learning lessons from nostalgia. His playful and sophisticated experiment with memoir provoked a furious debate among cartoon historians and archivists about the existence of Kalo, and prompted a Details feature about Seth's 'hoax.'

Lulu Moppet is an outspoken and brazen young girl who doesn't follow any rules-whether they've been set by her parents, the neighborhood boys, or society itself. 2019 D+Q begins a landmark reissue series of Lulu's suburban hijinks: she goes on picnics, babysits, and attempts to break into the boys' clubhouse again and again. Cartoonist John Stanley's expert timing and constant gags made these stories unbelievably enjoyable, ensuring that Marge's Little Lulu was a defining comic of the post-war period. Lulu's assertiveness, individuality, and creativity is empowering to witness; the series is powerfully feminist despite the decades in which the stories were created.

With her startling humor, it's no surprise that Aminder Dhaliwal's web comic Woman World has a devoted audience of over 120,000 readers. When a birth defect wipes out the planet's entire population of men, Woman World rises out of society's ashes. Dhaliwal's infectiously funny instagram comic follows the rebuilding process, tracking a group of women who have rallied together under the flag of 'Beyonce's Thighs.' Only Grandma remembers the distant past, a civilization of segway-riding mall cops, Blockbusters movie rental shops, and 'That's What She Said' jokes. Woman World is an uproarious and insightful graphic novel from a talented and funny new voice. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

The Hospital Suite is a landmark work by celebrated cartoonist and small-press legend John Porcellino, an autobiographical collection detailing his struggles with illness in the 1990s and 2000s. In 1997, John needed emergency surgery to remove a benign tumor from his small intestine. In the wake of the surgery, John had numerous health complications that led to a flare-up of his preexisting tendencies toward anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder. The Hospital Suite is Porcellino's response to these experiences, simply told stories drawn in an honest, heart-wrenching style. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

by Philippe Dupuy & Charles Berberian Maybe Later sees Philippe Dupuy and Charles Berberian working separately for the first time, each cartoonist taking turns to tell the behind-the-scenes 'making of' their bestselling Mr. Jean series. In fluid black-and-white, with hilariously paranoid digressions and surreal dream sequences, Maybe Later is a record of their unique artistic partnership, midlife and its demons, the stress of deadlines, and the friends and colleagues who help and goad along the way.
