(P/B) ONE BEAUTIFUL SPRING DAY
A mesmerizing, mind-bending, wordless 400 page comics odyssey by a contemporary master of the form. Jim Woodring has been chronicling the adventures of his cartoon Everyman, Frank, for almost 30 years. These stories are a singular rarity in the comics form - both bone-chillingly physical in their depictions of Frank's travails and profoundly metaphysical at the same time. Not since George Herriman's Krazy Kat has the comics language been so exquisitely distilled into pure, revelatory aesthetic expression. Designed as a luxe paperback with ...

(H/B) IT WAS THE WAR OF THE TRENCHES
2011 Eisner Award Winner: Best Reality-Based Work and Best U.S. Edition of International Material 2011 Harvey Award Nominee: Best American Edition of Foreign Material World War I, that awful, gaping wound in the history of Europe, has long been an obsession of Tardi's. But It Was the War of the trenches is Tardi's defining, masterful statement on the subject, a graphic novel that can stand shoulder to shoulder with Erich Maria Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front and Ernest Hemingway's A Farewell to Arms. Tardi is not interested in th...

A visual guide to fascinating historical facts and philosophical musings on why and how the objects we buy, own, use, see and interact with - from tanks to iPhones - come into existence.

(P/B) KAFKA
Kafka wrote in the tradition of the great Yiddish storytellers, whose stock-in-trade was bizarre fantasy tainted with hilarity and self-abasement. What he added to this tradition was an almost unbearably expanded consciousness. Here, Mairowitz's brilliant text and the illustrations and comic panels of the world's greatest cartoonist, Robert Crumb, help readers understand the essence of Kafka and provide insight beyond the cliche |Kafkaesque|, peering through Kafka's glass wall like no other book before. Must-have for admirers of Kafka and ...

(P/B) PUSSEY!
A vicious satire of pop culture and the commerce of art returns! New edition, cover and intro by Clowes!

From cradle to grave, Clowes presents the complete saga of Young Dan Pussey, mercilessly skewering the business and medium of comics, bouncing from art to commerce to culture high and low...

(H/B) ALMOST SILENT
Almost Silent packages four original Jason graphic novels - three of them out of print since mid-2008 - into one compact, hardcover omnibus collection. (As the title indicates, this volume favors Jason's pantomime works.) "You Can't Get There from Here," the longest story of the book (and the only one to be printed in color - well, a color), tells the tale of a love triangle involving Frankenstein, Frankenstein's Monster, and The Monster's Bride: Jason cleverly alternates between totally silent sequences involving the three characters and ...
