This is the long awaited third volume from Unicorn Mountain, published right here in Pittsburgh, PA.  While lacking the musical component of the first two volumes (in other words: no CD this time around), the comics and illustration work, taken as a whole, is head and shoulders above the first two.  Also worthy of note is the fact that this 228 page volume that includes the work of more than 25 local, national and international creators contains full color work for the first time – including an all-new, six-page story by Theo Ellsworth (his first in full color?).  Limited to a mere 500 copies!  SPECIAL OFFER:  For a limited time, anyone purchasing this will receive a copy of Unicorn Mountain #1 at no extra cost!  Please be aware that we only have a small quantity of Unicorn Mountain #1 available for this offer; once this supply has been exhausted, the offer ends.

Read more and comment... 		An ex-pat Pittsburgher, Rina Ayuyang revisits many chapters of her eventful life through the avenues of memory and  depiction.  There is a special focus on family and work in the pages of this new collection, which also pays a pen-and-ink visit to her old stomping grounds here in Pittsburgh.  Jointly published by Portland publishing powerhouses Sparkplug Comic Books and Tugboat Press, Whirlwind Wonderland assembles the self-selected "best of" Ayuyang's self-published series, Namby Pamby, work that originally appeared in a variety of anthologies, and all new work that appears here for the first time.  This 128 page collection includes an 8 page color section along with 120 pages of black and white art.  Ms. Ayuyang not long ago finally made it back to town in person, and gave a well-received presentation at The ToonSeum, and stopped by our shop as well.  The curious among you may learn more about it here, on her blog.
