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.

Now back in iprint!

WIth Halcyon: Hermeneutics, or "The New Cartoon Utopia, Ron Rege, Jr. channels the Skibber Bee Bye vibe into a hybridic (schizophrenic?) enhanced/virtual reality // back to nature future via the hyper-connected computer/gaming saturated present and in the process continues to build his unique brand of visionary comics. This foray into the fantastic realms takes the physical form of a 112 page, giant-size (10+" x 12+"), full (flat) color, laminated hardcover volume. Angels and devils (who may be one and the same?) and other celestial beings of the spirit realm dash and dart about the cosmos, both inner and outer – and while doing so,...

One could say thatJoseph Smith and the Mormons, a 464-page, hardcover, full color, historical-epic/biography in comics form of the life of Joseph Smith and the founding of the Church of the Latter Day Saints – aka the Mormons – is the work of a lifetime. It is the fruition of years of self-reflection and research followed by even more years of writing and drawing (and then editing). Noah Van Sciver was brought up in the the Church of the Latter Day Saints, but then fell away from it – along with his mother, and some (but not all) of his siblings – after his parents divorced. His father stayed in the church. These biographical facts shed...

This 248-page black & white 7.5" x 9.25" softcover is the fifth volume of Locas stories by Jaime Hernandez; and the eighth overall, the other three collecting Gilbert's Palomar stories. Esperanza picks up where 2010’s Penny Century collection left off in collecting the the stories from the second volume of Love and Rockets – the comic book size series that ran from 2000 through 2007. Together, the two volumes collect everything Locas up through #19, the second to last issue of the series (#20, the last issue, presents the full color story that originally ran in the New York Times, along with a second, off-format story of Maggie's...

We've been selling Starstruck in one form or another since 1980, but were so used to hand-selling it that it didn't occur to us to put it onto our site... until now!

A long-time Copacetic favorite (that was, before that, a BEM favorite), Starstruck is the comics space opera par excellence! Lee and Kaluta's wacky, hi-jinx, freewheeling approach to story and relative unconcern with narrative cohesion (riffing, to some degree, on Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon) – along with its non-linear approach to time – it has been printed in multiple arrangements and different orders without deleterious effect – allowed a truly epic scope for...

This is perhaps the longest awaited work in the history of comics (No? Let us know what, in your estimation, beats it.). Over ten years in the making, Mazzucchelli's first ever solo graphic novel is also his first major work since his 1994 graphic adaptation of Paul Auster's City of Glass, a trailblazing, highly influential work which put him at the forefront of the then nascent "serious" graphic novel movement. David Mazzucchelli's work with Frank Miller in the mid-80s -- Daredevil: Born Again and Batman: Year One -- made him amainstream comics superstar, but then he walked away from it all to pursue his own calling of an independent,more...

It's here: the last piece of the Spiegelman puzzle.Co-Mixpublishes an vast career-spanning array of Spiegelmania; taken together with the recently (re)publishedBreakdowns, it brings (back) into print the vast majority of Art's miscellanea: short pieces, comix, prints,New Yorkercovers, etc. While the wide world knows him almost solely through his perennial best-seller,Maus, within the world of comics his influence has been felt more through the works contained here. This book serves double duty as the catalogue for the exhibition of the same name that was produced by 9eArt+ for the 2012 Angoulême comics festival, and which, after travelling...

(Book Five in the New Edition of the collected Love and Rockets) Wow! Fantagraphics isn't wasting any time in getting out the newly formatted editions collecting that classic among classics, the original first volume of Love and Rockets by Los Bros Hernandez. The unrelenting greatness continues with Perla la Loca presenting "Wig Wam Bam" and "Chester Square" along with a handful of minor gems, all by the one and only Xaime. Beyond Palomar contains all the twists and turns of "Poison River," perhaps the most complex of Gilbert's epics, along with his L.A.-centered "Love and Rockets X." There's not much more that can be said about these...
