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...

Hold onto your hats - the complete collection of The Panic Fables by Alejandro Jodorowsky has arrived. All 284 strips, originally created in 1967-1973, written AND drawn by Jodorowsky, all translated into English for the first time. This is it!

As crazy as it may sound, this is the first issue of a twelve-issue comic book maxi-series written and drawn by art comics favorites, Ben "Paper Rad" Jones and Frank "Storeyville" Santoro. Mightily manifesting the poignant praxis of pioneering publisher, Picturebox, Cold Heat is not necessarily stoned, but beautiful -- a hypnotically tranced-out, maximum-volume take on the action/adventure genre that stays out all night and doesn't come home until the party's over and it's time to crash. From it's super-slick full color covers, to its orange-juice-orange inside covers and through its 24-page interior printed entirely in magenta and sky...

This rigorously produced volume takes the physical form of a 176 page, full color, oversize, smyth-sewn hardcover, printed in Italy on heavy flat-white stock. It opens with a thoughtful and deeply engaged introduction by New York Review Comics co-founder, Gabriel Winslow-Yost and then proceeds through a judiciously selected – by Sammy Harkham, no less – array of CF’s work from the first decade of our current millennium, before concluding with a casual yet absorbing interview with CF, conducted by Rob Goyanes, that is surprisingly revealing, shedding significant light on CFs personality and process, and in particular on the crucial...

Love and Rockets is the series that started it all, the ink and paper container for the comics without which The Copacetic Comics Company would not exist. Beginning with an ending – BEM, the definitive deconstruction of what was holding back the medium of comics, preventing it from realizing its full potential – and then... 40 years of demonstrating the tremendous capacity of comics as a form of personal expression, being the primary driver of the establishing the strong, long term bonds between the alternative comics and alternative music scenes – and so much more – and in the process transforming the medium.

Here, in this 40th...

The much anticipated first collection by up-and-coming-new-comics-champ, Kevin Huizenga is at last on our shelves. Its arrival may, however, signal the end of Huizenga's status as an up-and-comer, and initiate his ensconsement in the ranks of established contemporary masters of comics. This volume brings together a wide range of Huizenga's work from a wide variety of sources. It starts off with a little known (well, not to long time Copacetic customers) gem from the Orchid anthology published by Sparkplug Comics, titled, "Green Tea." It is adapted from a classic Victorian horror story of the same name by Sheridan Le Fanu, but is given the...

Aptly referred to as "the B-SIde to Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet", Ronald Wimberly's Prince of Cats pulls off quite a feat: successfully reimagining the world of Romeo and Juliet in an hepper-than-hep 1980s NYC where hip-hop and punk exist side-by-side andduels are settled with Samurai swords. The story here centers and pivots on the figure of Tybalt, with Romeo and Juliet as supporting cast. The art is dynamic, colorful and perfectly captures the mood while doing an amazing job of visually transcribing the throbbing soundtrack of the streets, train tracks, nightclubs, tenements, alleyways, nightclubs, bedrooms, offices, backrooms and...

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...

The first thing that came to mind when lifting the first copy of Rusty Brownout ofthe shipping case upon its arrivalis that this volumehas the heft – and then some –and feel of the Frank King Walt & Skeezix collections, collecting the classic Gasoline Alley strips,that Mr. Ware has been long been assembling and designing for D & Q, grafted on to the design of the original Jimmy Corrigan hardcover. This 356 page, full color, horizontally formatted graphic omnibus by Chris Ware is set to provide a substantial reading experience to all who crack its covers. And, speaking of covers, Ware has once again designed a complex, diagrammatic,...
