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,...

It's here! Five years in the making – by the team that brought you the Certified Copacetic Classic, This One Summer – Roaming is a triune portrait of youthful awakening into the dawning of adulthood. Over the course of its over 400 pages, the Tamakis weave layer upon layer of exuberence, curiosity and experience onto a ground of adolescent innocence. The entire tale takes place during a brief visit to New York City by the trio of Canadians at the center of this work (although there is a wonderful flashback shared by a pair of them that serves to illuminate the ground from which they are emerging). Roaming is a highly engaging work, the...

Huzzah! Here it is: the third – and final (>sob<) – year of Herriman's inventive, insightful and very funny strip– which wrapped up pretty much exactly a century ago–that he drew concurrently with Krazy Kat!Starting off with another fine introduction by Jared Gardner, this volume takes us all the way to the end of the strip's run, which actually results in us getting a bit more that a year's worth this time around, as it ran through to January 18, 1919. Baron Bean is, for our money, Herriman's finest work outside of Krazy Kat, and IDW's Library of American Comics has done an outstanding job of presenting crisp, full size...

When we learned that New York Review Comics was planning a new edition of two of Vaughn-James's other major works from the 1970s (Elephant and The Projector), we felt it was high time to bring this work, which we've been selling the shop for quite awhile(whenever we can get our hands on some copies!),to the attention of our online customers. Originally published in 1975, asa hardcover edition of 1500 copies by Toronto'sCoach House Press, The Cage was reissued in 2013, againby Coach House, in a softcover edition. Vaughn-James had a unique approach to, as well asa clearly prescientvision of, long form visually-centered narrative. Among his...

I Am Young reads likea series oflushly renderedpostcards sent through time from eras past, eachaccompanied by an illustrated "soundtrack" consisting of classic LPs.

Here It is: over 35 years worth of interviews, conducted between 1974 and 2011, with the one and only Jean "Moebius" Giraud, all conducted by his long time friend and associate, Numa Sadoul. It can be considered as the prose companion to Jean Giraud's spiritual journey through comics, taken in his persona of Moebius.

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,...

This is it, one of the most important comics works of all time, the complete ten-volume saga will now be presented in English for the first time, courtesy of Project Gen and Last Gasp. Barefoot Gen chronicles one family’s experience living in Hiroshima before, during and after WWII. This opening volume provides an emotionally moving chronicle of this family’s hardships during wartime -- hardships that were more severe than most due to the family's pacifism and anti-war stance. This book, however, will always be remembered most for its absolutely searing first-person account of experiencing the first atomic bombing. There is no other...
