The hype line at the top of this comic book lays it right out: "stories for the (now old) 90s kid in all of us." Anyone pining for another shot of those finely crafted, pen & ink comics that probe the youth counter culture while prodding society's underbelly and occasionally broaching taboo subjects will find six doses here in the 34 pages of Momento! Fans of the early Clowes in particular (which is actually from the '80s) will find their buttons being pushed here in stories like "Barry! My Imaginary Friend" and "Night of the Roamer". The heavy satire of "Bitrilin's Dream" and "A Hungry Artist" may put readers in mind of the repressed...

Move over, Dennis the Menace – Akissi is back! Here, in the frantic, fun-filled, full color pages of More Tales of Mischief, Akissi romps through 20 all-new tales, all created on a standard template of splash page followed by five pages each laid out using a six panel grid – except for two Double-Size Specials that run for twelve pages total. Here we have vital tales of growing up in Côte d'Ivoire (that's the Ivory Coast, located in west Africa, for all you Anglophones out there) – that are more or less based on the childhood experiences of Marguerite Abouet – that really capture the zaniness of a kids perspective on the world that – as...

One of the best – perhaps the best, and almost without doubt, the most painfully sad – graphic memoir ever penned. The urtext of adolescent alienation. An undisputed masterpiece. Recommended to all serious comics readers as well as anyone who needs help in facing up to painful and unhappy memories.

It's here! It looks... AMAZING!!! Featuring the work of many of today's most adventurous comickers and cartoonists, the ninth volume in this epoch-making anthology harkens back to the look, feel and heft of the fourth, which was the volume that put Kramers on the map, and is still the sentimental favorite at Copacetic. Here we have a highly informed selection of 288 pages of comics that draws on Harkham's knowledge of and connections with the contemporary comics making community. The work he has assembled here displays a full spectrum of the amazing variety of what the form is capable of expressing. Miss at your own peril!

Here is your best single opportunity to experience the full range of the uncategorizable works of David Sandlin. Schooled in art and painting at the University of Alabama, Birmingham (UAB) during the late 1970s, but harboring within a deep love of comics (especially those of Jack Kirby) and a burgeoning affair with Punk Rock, Sandlin quickly made his way to New York City upon graduation and became enmeshed in the early '80s art and music scene there; in the process coming to the attention of Art Spiegelmen and François Moulay (among others) and ending up in their groundbreaking comics anthology, Raw, while at the same time producing prints...

We heard only hours before starting to write up the arrival of the softcover edition of this classic work by two of the all-time greats of bande dessinee, that Moebius, perhaps the greatest of them all, had passed away. While Madwoman does not contain the type of cosmic science fiction imagery most closely associated with Moebius, it is second only to The Incal as his most important collaboration withAlejandro Jodorowsky, and it is a work that clearly demonstrates his seemingly effortless mastery of the form and that is certainly one of his most mature and sophisticated works from a narrative standpoint. On the one hand Madwoman is a close...
