Sugiura Shigeru (1908-2000) is widely regarded as one of the masters of Japanese comics. His 1953 adaptation of James Fenimore Cooper's The Last of the Mohicans sold over 60,000 copies, and he chose to rework Mohicans in a new collage-like style in 1974. Considered a masterpiece of postwar manga, The Last of the Mohicans is as beautiful to look at as it is a delight to read. This PictureBox edition - the first book-length publication of Sugiera in English - is edited and translated by Ryan Holmberg, who also provides an introduction.

by Gary Panter Legendary underground cartoonist Gary Panter's comics are typically anarchic and fun, but they also delve deeper. Jimbo, Panter's enduring punk everyman, shares billing with a cast of idiosyncratic characters including Bob War (his calamitous brother), Uncle Garcia (a smart-talking dinosaur and beleaguered guardian in a bathrobe), and Kokomo, a native in an unspecified tropical land colonized by oil companies. Panter's farce follows Jimbo's misadventures as he tries to get a Moka Cola at the local Jack-in-the-McTacos. The whole zany affair culminates in an absurd, scatological climax at an automated fast food restaurant. This delightfully inane story offers a selection of Panter's themes: humanity's troubled relationship with nature and technology; the tension between restraint and the uncontrollable urge; family relationships; and Jimbo's endearing, comical self-doubt.

by Brian Chippendale Drawn in 1996 over the pages of a Japanese book catalog, this 350-page graphic novel is now reproduced in a facsimile edition. The story concerns a group of characters living in a place called Fort Thunder, wandering around and discovering little holes in their universe. They battle a capitalist landlord, eat peanut butter sandwiches, and embark on adventures somewhere between dirt punk and epic cosmic science fiction. Maggots opens up into beautiful visual passages, vistas of temples and flowers, all drawn in scorching black marks that tell a story in their own abstractions.

Frank Santoro's graphic novel takes place just before the eruption of Pompeii in the year 79 CE. Marcus, a young expat artist from Paestum, works as an assistant in Pompeii to Flavius, a seemingly well-regarded painter. Aside from mixing paint, Marcus is entangled in the older artist's romantic deceptions, while stuck figuring out his own. Santoro has constructed a historical fiction that is rooted in emotional truths and structured around classical principles of composition. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

by Yuichi Yokoyama This book combines two of Yokoyama's central themes - fighting and building. One set of stories, entitled 'Public Works,' details massive structures being erected across a landscape. The other set of stories, 'Combats,' is one sequence after another of elegantly choreographed battles. Yokoyama builds things up and tears them down. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

Infomaniacs is a graphic novel printed on paper all about the Internet by the author of 1-800-MICE. A hilarious detective story that manages to critique and explore digital culture, Infomaniacs is marked by the author's restless questioning and heightened sense of the absurd. Thurber looks in on 'The Scriveners of Tweet Street,' Albert Radar, a Joseph Beuys-lookalike psychiatrist, a perfectly preserved brain that has never seen the internet, an organic server farm, the Anthropamorphic Task Force, and so much more. Think of it as The Long Goodbye for the Tumblr generation. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

School Spirits is Anya Davidson's debut book and could be described as like Beavis and Butthead meets James Joyce's Ulysses. It is the story of Oola, a high school student with an unusual connection to the supernatural. Comprised of four chapters, each deploying a different narrative technique, School Spirits is at once funny, sexy, mystical and, above all, utterly clear. Davidson's crisp cartooning style makes even the strangest occurrences seem utterly plausible. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

Kramers Ergot is the premier comics anthology of the 21st century. It has always been a reflection of editor Sammy Harkham's current interests in comics past and future. In that spirit, with this new volume, the he severs Kramers Ergot from many of the formal and stylistic elements with which it made its name. Kramers Ergot 8 is a complete shift both aesthetically and physically. The size of the book is smaller, to encourage a more intimate reading of the material, and the content reflects a focus on substantial works from a small group of no more than a dozen artists.

From Eisner Award and L.A. Times Book Prize nominated author Yuichi Yokoyama comes a new graphic novel. Guys visit a city. They watch airplanes departing and arriving at an airport. They go on board a ship and across a river. Finally they arrive at a building as their destination. A man guides them to the'world map room.' It seems they have an appointment there, although there is no description about the appointment. They see books on the shelves and have some desultory conversation. Then they go to the courtyard and carry on the conversation. They reach a pond with a sunken ship. The guide starts to explain the ship's history. The book ends.

(W/A) Yuichi Yokoyama A group of friends attempts to enter a garden just beyond a wall. When they succeed, the garden they finally enter is no Eden, but rather a massive landscape of machines, geometric forms, and all manner of nonorganic objects. In Japanese comic-book artist Yuichi Yokoyama's newest and longest work, his characters become enmeshed in a fantastic wonderland of distorted mirrors, photographic equipment, massive libraries and complex pathways, thus yielding a reflection on the myriad ways human interact with the complex mechanical world we have created.

(W/A) James Jarvis The acclaimed British illustrator James Jarvis unveils his first new narrative in five years. This highly anticipated graphic novel follows a beaked artist who travels through a wilderness to arrive at an abandoned city. Wandering the empty streets there, he encounters a mysterious, priestly being who commissions him to decorate a temple to nameless gods. De Profundis might be considered a departure from Jarvis' previous projects; in this book, he has constructed a purely personal narrative with artwork that combines his interest in medieval woodcuts and Dutch De Stjil.
