(H/B) THE EXTRAORDINARY ADVENTURES OF ADELE BLANC-SEC (VOLUME 2)
After establishing the world of the prickly heroine with the first two episodes of this classic series (combined in Fantagraphics' "The Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec Volume 1"), Jacques Tardi plunges us back into Belle-Epoque Paris for another double dosage of heroic derring-do, evil and crazy malefactors, mad actresses (yes, "Clara Benhardt" makes a return appearance) and monsters! In "The Mad Scientist" the science that brought us revived dinosaurs now results in a pithecanthrope stalking the streets of the City of Light, c...

(H/B) UNDERGROUND SKETCHBOOK
A newly designed edition of the heralded masterpiece by the award-winning children's book author. Tomi Ungerer's infamous Underground Sketchbook is as powerful a dose of visual ingenuity, moral outrage, and bemused disgust at the human comedy that the reader is ever likely to experience. Originally published in 1964 and unavailable for decades, Fantagraphics Books is proud to publish a newly designed version of this masterpiece of graphic commentary. (From the publisher)...

(H/B) BTTM FDRS
Once a thriving working-class Chicago neighbourhood, the 'Bottomyards' is now the definition of urban blight. When an aspiring fashion designer named Darla and her image-obsessed friend, Cynthia, descend upon the neighbourhood in search of cheap rent, they soon discover something far more seductive and sinister lurking behind the walls of their new home. At turns funny, scary, and thought provoking, BTTM FDRS unflinchingly confronts the monsters - both metaphorical and real - that are displacing cultures in urban neighbourhoods today. (Fro...

(H/B) PRESS ENTER TO CONTINUE
Galvan's characters navigate a candy-colored world of geometric energy. Departments of inhumane resources dehumanise the people it is purported to protect; information is determinedly mined like the gold of the 21st century that it is; induced suicidal thoughts are a tool to manage overpopulation. Like Black Mirror, Galvan's near future is less paranoid dystopia than it is a logical extension of things to come, where the malice of large corporations manifests in small, everyday ways.

(H/B) O JOSHEPHINE|
Jason has caught the hiking bug and decides to walk the Wicklow Way, where he encounters more sheep than he had bargained for. Leonard Cohen's storied life has been well archived, but never with so many Jason-esque liberties taken. (Did you know he beat Fidel Castro in chess? Learned the Heimlich from Frederico Garcia Lorca?) Two detectives are on a mysterious stakeout, but as secrets and motives are revealed their snooping becomes fatal. And, finally, the remarkable rollercoaster love story of Napoleon and Josephine Baker. (From the publi...

(P/B) TODAY IS THE LAST DAY OF THE REST OF YOUR LIFE
Back in 1984, a rebellious, 17-year old and punked-out Ulli List set out for a wild hitchhiking trip across Italy, from Naples through Verona and Rome, ending up in Sicily. 25 years later, this talented Austrian cartoonist has looked back at that tumultuous summer and delivered a long, dense and minutely observed autobiographical masterpiece.

(P/B) THE COMPLETE PEANUTS 1957-1958
In this fourth paperback volume, the 1950s close down and Peanuts enters its golden age. Linus, who had just learned to speak in the previous volume, becomes downright eloquent and even begins to fend off Lucy's bullying; even so, his neurosis becomes more pronounced, including a harrowing two-week "Lost Weekend" sequence of blanketlessness. Charlie Brown cascades further down the hill to loserdom, with spectacularly lost kites, humiliating baseball losses (including one where he becomes "the Goat and is driven from the field in a chorus o...

(H/B) THE EXTRAORDINARY ADVENTURES OF ADELE BLANC-SEC (VOLUME 1)
Both a rip-roaring adventure series set in pre-World War I Paris and a parody of same, "Adele Blanc-Sec" has been enchanting, thrilling, and puzzling readers worldwide through four decades.

(P/B) LOVE AND ROCKETS
Love and Rockets enters its fourth decade with this installment of its acclaimed graphic novel-format iteration, featuring both old friends and new faces, and some genuine surprises... The cover shows Gilbert's new star Killer in a pose and milieu that will bring back memories for long-time fans imitating the hammer-wielding Luba in her adopted Palomar. That's because Killer has discovered that her great-grandmother Maria (Luba's mother) starred in a late 1950s crime movie, and begins to delve into the details of her family's twisted histo...

(P/B) WHY ART?
What is "Art"? It's widely accepted that art serves an important function in society. But the concept falls under such an absurdly large umbrella and can manifest in so many different ways. Art can be self indulgent, goofy, serious, altruistic, evil, or expressive, or any number of other things. But how can it truly make lasting, positive change? In WHY ART?, acclaimed graphic novelist Eleanor Davis (HOW TO BE HAPPY) unpacks some of these concepts in ways both critical and positive, in an attempt to illuminate the highest possible potentia...

(H/B) WHAT I DID
A matching volume to 2009s Almost Silent, What I Did collects three of Jasons acclaimed 1990s graphic novels into a handsome, definitive omnibus format. "Hey, Wait...," which was the first of Jason's books to be translated to English, tells the story of two childhood friends. A dreadful event midway through the story changes their lives forever, and the story becomes the summary of lives lived, wasted, and lost. Jason's sparse dialogue, dark wit, and supremely bold use of "jump-cuts" from one scene to the next make "Hey, Wait..." a surpr...
