The best kept secret in the last twenty years of comics is probably the 1995 tabloid newspaper format Storeyville. A Whitmanesque epic poem in comics form, Storeyville was sui generis at the time of its release, revealing previously unexplored depths in the comics form. For a closer look at this landmark work, we refer you to our review of this original release, here. It is now, finally, twelve years later, being released in a deluxe hardcover edition complete with a 1200 word introduction by Chris Ware along with bonus back up features including an essay providing the history and context of its creation by Dan...

Street Angel is BACK... in print. Street Angel: Princess of Poverty is an expanded softcover reprint of the AdHouse hardcover from several years back, which was itself an expanded reissue of the Slave Labor softcover collection of several years prior to that. All three editions collect the five-issue run of the original black & white Street Angel series published by Slave Labor Press coming up on twenty years ago now(!), along with ever increasing amounts of bonus material. So, with each iteration, The Princess of Poverty gets bigger and better!

This volume is, thus, the biggest and best yet! It includes everything in the previous...

Comics may not just be for kids anymore, but, of course, they still are especially well suited for stimulating the construction of neural pathways involved in decoding text, images and linking them together in chains of meaning – aka learning! – all of which are crucial to developing kids' minds. Even more importantly, many kids are naturally drawn to comics and quite a few actually enjoy making them. What better way to keep kids out of trouble and get them in touch with their creative side than encouraging them to make their own comics? And that's exactly what Comics: Easy as ABC aims to do. Penned by noted comics educator and author of...

FINALLY! Twenty years after Connie left Will at home to get takeout and a video (yes, that's right, she left to go to the video rental store – that's how long ago it was) – the dénouement!

Keeping Two collects the entirety of the extant series along with the highly anticipated conclusion. The book itself is a beautifully designed hardcover, with rounded edges, and the 300+ pages of classic Jordan Crane artwork is crsiply printed entirely in shades of green – from so dark as to be nearly black all the way through to shades so light as to be nearly translucent, all on heavy, flat, off-white stock. A real pleasure to hold and to read.

One of the best – perhaps the best, and almost without doubt, the most painfully sad – graphic memoir ever penned. The urtext of adolescent alienation. An undisputed masterpiece. Recommended to all serious comics readers as well as anyone who needs help in facing up to painful and unhappy memories.

Now back in iprint!

Here's the one Copacetic customers have been ringing the phone off the hook about. And not without reason. Each issue of Ganges has managed to make something new with the comics form. Huizenga pretty much picks up here where #3 left off – it may very well be the very same evening, diegetically speaking – and continues exploring the twilight zone of consciousness that lies between waking and sleeping, where memory and fantasy mix with all kinds of thought: this time around, from list-making to self-analysis to pondering the nature and meaning of being and time and space and... well, you get the idea. Ever the innovator, Huizenga has here...

In the second issue of Anders Nilsen's new epic, Tongues, tensions ratchet up several notches across the board. What, exactly, is going on? It's hard to say with any kind of certainty – but that's the point. What we are shown are the multiple, intersecting planes of colliding realities: of the mythic and the mundane; of imagination and conspiracy, of street and sky, of home and horror. All is intricately rendered, resonantly colored and put together in a thoughtfully designed, oversize package that captures a sense of the porous nature of the borders that humanity constructs, pointing out that they are, finally, endlessly mutable...

The most critically lauded graphic novel of the year has arrived!

Chris Ware: "Some middle-aged colleagues and I believe literary comics fiction is possible without resorting to fantastical heroics, however, and the youngest and finest exemplar, 28-year-old Nick Drnaso, offers a new book to possibly top us all:Sabrina, about a missing woman, a video and the unspeakable possibilities of our contemporary mitigated reality."

Zadie Smith: "Nick Drnaso's Sabrina is the best book – in any medium – I have read about our current moment. It is a masterpiece, beautifully written and drawn, possessing all the political power of polemic and yet...
