It's time to let the good times roll - with MORTON! Let's all join David Collier on a cross country (in this case, Canada) rail journey and experience old school reality before it slips into the history books. We will be conveyed along our journey by train, the most civilized form of travel. We will experience the journey via comics, the most suitable form through which to communicate such an undertaking. And our pen & ink guide will be David Collier, who intuits the precise perspective.

A Western World is the latest collection from the unstoppable, indefatigable Michael DeForge thatcollectsfifteen short comics, some of whichpreviously appeared in recent issues of his one-man anthology,Lose andinBreakdown Press's two(instantly sold out) issues of On Topics,some in anthologies like Kramers Ergot and Island, some were self-published minis, and a few appear here for the first time (right?).

Here's what we had to say about it upon it's publication in April 2013:

A story that required years of fermentation to arrive at its requisite form, Pittsburgh is a comics meditation on family and identity that unfolds within a complex matrix of time, place and self as it is inscribed within memory. On the surface, it is a memoir of the artist's parents' courtship, marriage and divorce – and its reverberations through his life. There are also the supporting tales of two sets of grandparents and the crucial involvement of a neighborhood friend, as well as the mute chorus of the family dog. This surface is structurally undergirded by substantial formal constructions of great depth that connect this singular tale...

Released in the UK at the close of 2018,the latest work from Jon McNaught is now, at last, available stateside. A beautifully produced, 128 page, full size hardcover,Kingdomis a real eye opener, and is surely his most accomplished work to date. As inhis previous works, forms and space are here articulated primarilythrough planes of color, an approach to comics-making derived from McNaught's print-making practice. Employing alimited, variable, two-tone palette throughout, McNaught largely dispenses with line,depending instead on a careful placement of shapes, edges and color overlaps to construct his images, making for a unique and highly...

Inappropriate isBell's best collection to date. Here, she has broken through to a more...

Stroppy is here: it's ALL NEW; it's a self-contained whole; it's by Canadian cartoonist extraordinaire, Marc Bell; it's...a giant-size, full-colour, underground comix classic presented to an unsuspecting [well, not for long] public in the guise of a hardcover graphic novella. Stroppy channels the vigorous populist cartooning energy that can trace its roots back to the classic comics strips – especially the depression-era Popeye by E.C. Segar and Harold Grey's Little Orphan Annie. This vital populism was an integral part of American life and lore, but with the advent of the war economy in the late-1930s, it was sublimated into the national...
