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...

As the increasingly pervasive mediated reality in which we find ourselves here in North America, in all its ever-more-varying-(and dazzling!) forms, gradually gains ground in its encroachment on the natural reality that we had formerly, and throughout the entirety of human evolution, taken for granted, our sense of who we are and what constitutes appropriate behavior in the broad spectrum of human endeavor and social interaction, is undergoing a shift. Lucky for us, Dash Shaw is here to help us find our way with this insightful comics examination of the changes that are going on right behind our noses.

Having devoted himself to assembling the massively influential series of anthologies,Kramers Ergot, Sammy Harkham now at last steps into the spotlight himself in this collection devoted solely to his own work. Published by PictureBox,Everything Togetherlives up to its title, collecting a decade's worth of Harkham's concentrated comics narratives. Opening with hisminimalist meditations on personal perspective, "Napoleon" and "Elisha", the work ranges from hismost sustained pieces, the epic "Poor Sailor", "Somersaulting," the upside-down-under memoir of Australian adolescence, and "Lubavitch, Ukraine, 1876", to his short, comics-insider...

Typex'sAndy: The Life and Times of Andy Warholis a tour de force of comics biography. It's 562 (silver-edged!) pages delve deeply into the life and times of its subject. The work's central organizingprinciple is that each of its 10 chapters is conceived and designed as an individual issue of a comic book series, titledAndy, complete with it's own front and back covers (and, as an added bonus, each also comes with its ownuncut sheet of collector trading cards!). The chapters arechronologically arranged, with each tackling a particular arc of Warhol’s life and work. Each of the“issues" in thisserieshas been conceived and executed by Typex as...

Through a hard won personal process developed over decades of his artistic practice, Mark Doox has merged the respective iconographies of Byzantine Christian art and racist American art, effecting a strange transformation whereby each becomes the other as they become one. A large selection of the mixed-media artworks that have emerged from this practice have been assembled together with artworks created specifically for this volume and then accompanied by a series of self-authored texts, which serve the dual purpose of providing exigetical commentary on the artworks themselves and advancing arguments which the artworks then serve to...


WOW! Attilio Micheluzzi's crisp, pen & ink, black & white artwork here in the 144 pages of this full-size hardcover edition of The Farewell Song of Marcel Labrume is knock-your-socks-off good. It's part of lineage that starts with the fine line rendering of Hal Foster and Alex Raymond on the one hand and strong compositional skills of Milt Caniff and Noel Sickles on the other, and that falls exactly – perfectly – between Alex Toth and early Jaime Hernandez (who then combined it with much else, took it in another direction and made it all his own). The characters and stories are at times reminiscent of Howard Hawks, with a tough guy...


Well, talk about an embarassment of riches! Not only have we been treated to the long awaited Art of Jaime, but now we also have the latest in the splendiferous series of trade paperback volumes that, since 2007, have been repackaging the classic work of both Jaime and Beto. Penny Century is the fourth Jaime volume and the first to present his work that appeared after the conclusion of the initial seminal run of Love and Rockets. The book opens with the one of kind classic of comics choreography that is Whoa Nellie!, Jaime's 68 page ode to women's wrestling. Then we are treated to the super fabuous experience of the Maggie and Hopey Color...
