by Norman Hathaway Overspray is the comprehensive account of an exuberant form of art in the 1970s and the culture that made it famous - airbrushing. Inspired equally by surf graphics and psychedelia, a generation of young artists embraced the optimism of the Los Angeles art scene and combined it with the slick, manicured surfaces of Hollywood. Suddenly, every record cover looked shiny, every pair of lips was high gloss, every palm tree glistened, and clothes were as loud as the sun. The word was awash in perfectly smooth, vibrantly colored forms. Overspray tells these artists' stories for the first time, reproducing hundreds of images of the best airbrushed work, unseen production art, and ephemera. Overspray will bring that era to vivid, glossy life. (immagine) Categoria: Books: novel/sci fi/horror

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.

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.

(W/A) Renee French In H Day, Renee French explores, through metaphor and in pictures, her struggles with migraine headaches, marshaling troops of insects, beasts and humanoids to envision the processes that result in such hideous sensations. A sweeping, often tense narrative of invasion, repulsion and liberation, H Day can be read both as an oblique autobiography and as a suspenseful fantasy story.

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

(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.

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 Yuichi Yokoyama In two-time Eisner Award nominee Yuichi Yokoyama's Travel, the storyline is as linear as it is sharp; it is the long, silent and crystalline description of a train ride undertaken by three men. The subject Yokoyama depicts here is less the landscape around the train (the distances covered, the regions traveled through) than the actions within the train itself. As the train moves, the three men walk through the string of cars and are confronted with the vehicle's architecture... its machine-like environment. But above all, they are confronted with the stares and the physical presence of other passengers. Travel is a journey into the contemporary Japanese psyche - a brilliant, wordless graphic novel.

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.

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 Gary Panter Gary Panter has been one of the most influential figures in visual culture for over 30 years. From his exuberant paintings to his cartoon icon Jimbo, and the Emmy-award winning design of Pee-Wee's Playhouse, he has left his mark on every medium he's touched. This definitive edition of his work is split into two full-color volumes. The first volume is a comprehensive monograph featuring over 1,000 images of paintings, sculptures, posters, comics, and drawings complemented by essays from Byron Coley, Richard Klein, Robert Storr, and more, as well as the longest interview to date with Panter. The second volume is a selection from Panter's sketchbooks, where the artist's ideas have long incubated and the site of some of his finest work. Very little of the work contained in these volumes has been published in any form. Slipcased. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

(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.
