ONE NEW COPY

232 page graphic novel by Mike Dawson, published by Secret Acfres in 2014 and now out of print.

Here's the Secret Acres Hype-Up:

"Just months after 9/11, Angie Bongiolatti leads a Socialist group to protest the World Economic Forum in Manhattan. This is the story of Angie and the people surrounding her: co-workers, radical compatriots, and the men from her past, who may know more about Angie than what she shows the world."

John Porcellino sez:  "Zak Sally’s masterpiece of raw self-doubt is back in an offset edition from Secret Acres. Printed in a sometimes-intentionally-difficult to parse melange of silvers, blacks, purples, and yellows, Recidivist IV is an off-register cri de coeur of existentialist pain and unwithering self-examination. One of the great comics of modern times, truly.  6.5″ x 6.75″; flexi-cover; 54 pages, ."

This is the 2nd edition, from Secret Axcres.

An essential masterpiece of jazz history by renowned photographer and music historian, with a new foreword by Richard Williams

In this classic account of the new black music of the 1960s and 70s, celebrated photographer and jazz historian Val Wilmer tells the story of how a generation of revolutionary musicians established black music as the true vanguard of American culture.

Placing the achievements of African-American artists such as Albert Ayler, Ornette Coleman, John Coltrane and Sun Ra in their broader political and social context, Wilmer evokes an era of extraordinary innovation and experimentation that continues to inspire musicians today.

As vital now as when it was first published in 1977, As Serious As Your Life is the essential story of one of the most dynamic musical movements of the twentieth century.

"The jazz musicians Wilmer wrote about .. their passion and their activism resonated with me and showed me a way to move forward musically." – Viv Albertine
