We've only just cracked this open here at Copacetic, and even though we can't deliver our report on it just yet, we want to get it up on the site for all those who were wowed by Yearly 2018 and want to start digging in to this year's installment, especially given that there's quite a bit to dig in to this time around: 80 magazine-size (8 1/2" x 11") pages, along with a 32 page 5" x 5" insert – all in full color!
We've posted a gallery of covers, pages & panels from all the issues of Yearly, from 2018 to 2024 – including this one – on our Copacetic Tumblr, HERE.

Jaime whips readers back and forth across four decades in this long awaited tale of Maggie and Hopey's reconnection at a punk rock reunion. And in the process asks – and answers – the question, "What are we today, but all our yesterdays?" While Macbeth was cursed by fate and living on borrowed time, and so understandably down in the mouth, Maggie and Hopey are ever in the present, ever linking the past to the future, and carrying us, their followers on the other side of the veil, along with them, and so are much more than the sum of what has gone before.
We are well aware that most Copacetic customers were reading this saga as it was...
Back in print at last! in an amazing oversize (9 1/2" x 12 1/2") full color hardcover edition, no less. Madwoman of the Sacred Heart is the other Moebius/Jodorowsky masterpiece (along with, of course, The Incal). This edition, as with the previous, standard size editions, collects all three original albums. Here's our original listing:
Moebius & Jodorowsky's Madwoman is, perhaps, the screwball comedy to end all screwball comedies. Opening on a French college campus, it startsout slow with what seems at first to be the beginnings ofa fairly typical professorial indiscretion with an attractive younger student, but.... Well, we don't want...
You want funny? Look no further: This book will make you laugh. Like Peter Bagge's Hate, but smarter and more brutal in its judgments on this dysfunctional society of ours, and with a distinctive flavor all its own, this is a comic for people who see past the façade as a matter of course. Hey, Mister takes sarcasm to new heights. It makes us think of the Monty Python episode, the "Piranha Brothers," in which a fearful and trembling thug played by Michael Palin relates how Doug Piranha was the most terrifying gangster he had ever encountered because of the deft manner in which, "he used... sarcasm." And the bitterness, oh, the bitterness! ...
It's here: the deluxe full color, 112 page, horizontally formatted hardcover collection of Michael DeForge's internet work,Ant Comic. A high intensity allegory rendered in dazzling full color and employing DeForge's personal cartooning language to great advantage,Ant Colonyis a wholly original work that is not to be missed. In the words of no less a comics authority than Jaime Hernandez, "DeForge is one of those rare comics naturals andAnt Colonyproves it."
NOW OUT OF PRINT. Wehave just a few copies remaining. LIMIT: ONE per customer.
2011 marked the culmination of a decades-spanning career arc as Frank Santoro found his art at the center of the 2011 Pittsburgh Biennial at The Carnegie Museum of Art, where he attended studio art classes as a youth. We are excited to at last be able to offer for sale copies of his 16-page tabloid newspaper comics work that was the highlight of that exhibit. In a signature Santoro move, Blast Furnace Funnies is a work of "High" (i.e., museum quality) art executed in the lowest of the "Low" art forms (a disposable newspaper); employing ephemerality to evoke eternity, he has here worked (in a form that often ends up) in the gutter to reach...
Here it is, at last: a cosmic consciousness primer for kids. Inthese pages, Crane has stripped down his æsthetic to its core, crafting bold,optic nerve stimulating illustrations thatleapscales from the macroscopic to microscopic and back again, in dynamic andwildly colorfulimages that arestraight forward andimmediately,intuitively comprehensible.Taken together with the accompanyingsimple blocks of text, the series ofsequential combinations of images that make up We Are All Me unlock a latent power strong enough tolightup dormantneurons, leadingto new connections, and stimulatingspeculations, revealinga sense of wonder at creation capable...
While Darwyn Cooke originally planned for a two-year stint on The Spirit, circumstances conspired to cut his run short at the halfway mark. The evidence of this final issue -- an exigetical adaptation of Eisner's original Sand Saref story (the same story Frank Miller's upcoming movie is also using as it's core text) -- bears out that this is all it took for Cooke to bore right to the core of not just the character of The Spirit but of the spirit of the noir sensibility itself. Through his masterful employment of Eisner's late style (which Eisner himself used to portray the past; i.e. his own childhood during the depression out of which so...
