In 2012, Providence-based artist and musician C.F. began to produce a series of more than a dozen mini-comics, which he distributed via Twitter. Each mini-comic offered a take on, and expansion upon, a classic comic strip genre-from crime and sci-fi to punk and sex-all of them infused throughout by C.F.'s absurdist humor and loose improvisatory drawing. Less than 50 copies of each mini-comic were printed; needless to say, they sold out instantly. Collected here for the first time, they constitute a kind of bravura display of C.F.'s dexterity with pen and ink. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

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.

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

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.

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

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

(A) Yuichi Yokoyama This is the first book of color paintings and comics by the Eisner-nominated manga artist Yuichi Yokoyama.

DNA Failure is a unique experiment in comics - three different artists explore a single city and a few characters, providing a panoramic creative view of a made-up village somewhere between Tolkien and The Sims. This has echoes of classic roll playing games and the scrappy nature of zine-based comics. Go to the marketplace, throw knives, dig a tunnel, jump fences and take a journey with Famicon.

by Laura Weinstein Goddess of War traces the life of the title character, from her majestic beginnings as the best Valkyrie and the great granddaughter of Thor, to her present position as the Goddess. But she's bored of determining the outcome for all wars on earth. So she leaves her isolated planet of vampires, wolves and volcanoes to visit Earth, where she quits her job being a Goddess to be with her lover, the Apache Chief. This angers her boss, the king of the Gods, and he decides to exact vengeance upon them. Will he succeed in punishing them or will the lovers escape the hand of fate? Goddess of War is based on the character that Weinstein plays in her rock band, Flaming Fire. The story will be told in deluxe, oversized format with both pen and ink and etchings.
