Underground comics legend Barbara Mendes – better known back in the day as Willy Mendes – steps into the spotlight with this superdeluxe hardcover volume collececting her long-in-the-works epic, the Queen of the Cosmos Comix trilogy, herein collected in its entirety!  This is a massive 10 1/2" x 12 1/2" hardcover volume running 236 pages, with, roughly, the first third (i.e., Book One of the trilogy) in black & white and the subsequent two thirds (i.e., Books Two and Three of the trilogy) in blazing, brilliant full color.  Get ready!  

To hep you to what's in store, we've posted a gallery of pages from all three parts up on the Copactic Tumblr, HERE.

And then here's the Fantagraphics promo pitch:

Barbara "Willy" Mendes' masterpiece of hallucinogenic storytelling, Queen of Cosmos Comix Trilogy, collected for the first time in a single volume.

In Queen of Cosmos Comix Trilogy, underground cartoonist, fine artist, and muralist Barbara "Willy" Mendes chronicles women creators' psychedelic journey through Biblical tableaux, modern life, and into a fantastical, interstellar future, weaving in her own intimate stories of being an artist, mother, and grandmother, especially in the never-before-published third volume. Inspired by Jewish mysticism, Mendes presents a creation myth shaped by feminine cosmic consciousness, with new, immersive worlds — and a radical reimagining of this one.

Includes an illuminating and entertaining interview with Mendes, as well as the 3rd never-before-published chapter of the trilogy.

This may be the most densely packed big bang for your buck single creator comics collection out there.  Containing (just barely, as it's bursting at the seams) every Milk and Cheese comic, the entire Eltingville Club saga, all the nutty strips (and there are a lot), gag panels and stories from Dork – and more! – in a whoppin' 656 page value-priced 6 5/8" x 10 3/16" softcover omnibus volume, printed in crisp black & white (*mostly; roughly 10% is in full color), that weighs in at over three pounds (thus the high shipping cost; sorry).

The copies we currently have were slightly dinged in transit, and so we're offering them at a discount price that makes it "a steal" and so more likely to receive the Dorkin Seal of Approval™.
