Here it is: the final (>sob!<) Peanuts strips by Charles M. Schulz, the last of which, the final Sunday page, originally appeared on the same day as Schulz's obituary, as he passed on from this world (and doubtless onto the Sphere of True Comics) the day before its publication. The editors cleverly filled out what would have otherwise been a slim volume by bookending the conclusion of Peanuts with the complete collection of Schulz's precursor strip to Peanuts, L'il Folks. And, to top it all off, this volume is introduced by none other than the President of the United States of America, Barack Obama! A fitting finale.

In this, the twenty-first issue of cartoonist/illustrator/designer Seth's (almost) annual,Palookaville, we have another elegantly designed hardcover volume. Between the two embossed covers – which show Seth moving closer to Deco stylings – readers will find three "sections" containing: the continuation of the fourth installment of Clyde Fans; selections from the seventh and eighth volumes of Seth's "Rubber Stamp Diary", andthe first forty pages of"Nothing Lasts", a tale taken from "Sketchbook 10." It pretty much goes without saying that this is a must for all fans of Seth's work. To anyone yet to sample his wares, all we have to say is,...

The work of Paul Hornschemeier is unique in that it employs the (re)production processes as narrative signifiers. InThe Three Paradoxes, his most sophisticated work yet, he employs several different modes of production and reproduction to convey his epistemological concerns, chief among them how experience, imagination, and memories are each treated in different ways by human consciousness, ordered according to only dimly perceived criteria, and sorted into different categories. Hornschemeier doesn't hold back here. He reaches deep into his bag of tricks, brings it all out and throws it all down, creating a fascinating visual mix where we...

As the increasingly pervasive mediated reality in which we find ourselves here in North America, in all its ever-more-varying-(and dazzling!) forms, gradually gains ground in its encroachment on the natural reality that we had formerly, and throughout the entirety of human evolution, taken for granted, our sense of who we are and what constitutes appropriate behavior in the broad spectrum of human endeavor and social interaction, is undergoing a shift. Lucky for us, Dash Shaw is here to help us find our way with this insightful comics examination of the changes that are going on right behind our noses.

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...

What It is, the long awaited, all new, 208 page hardcover volume of heuristic metacomix by the one and only Lynda Barry, is both a beautiful and inspiring work of art and an insightful exploration of the creative process. Her first new work since her 2002 masterpiece, 100 Demons, What It Is uses the language of comics to probe the secrets of creativity itself, which leads her deep into the caverns of philosophy, where, ever the intrepid explorer, Ms. Barry undertakes an especially thorough excavation of the cave of epistemology. There in the murky darkness she discovers that memory and imagination blur and merge amidst the stalactites and...
