Black Comix Returns is a giant-size celebration of black comics, primarily, if not wholly, made in North America. This massive, oversized, full color, 200 page hardcover showcases an amazing variety of work ranging from epic heroic fantasy to intimate personal reflection that incorporates plenty of astute social observations and savvy political commentary along the way.  The contributors to this volume are far too numerous to list them all here, but include many artists whose work Copacetic regulars will be familiar with, such as Keith Knight, Ben Passmore, Whit Taylor and Ron Wimberly, along with plenty of new talents to discover here for the first time!

Upgrade Soul, the long-in-the-works graphic novel by Ezra Clayton Daniels is now available.  This highly engaging work is a densely layered meditation on the intersections of science and hubris, physical appearance and identity, money and power, love and death  – and the connections between them all.  The work centers on a science fiction theme, but there is more to it that.  It is in good company, with with distinct echoes of works as diverse as Flowers for Algernon, We3, Never Let Me Go and Bodyworld, to name a few.  It’s a real page-turner; you’re unlikely to be able to put it down till you’ve turned all 272 of them!  Full color throughout (in case you were wondering).

We just came across TWO new copies of this massive (four pounds), oversize, square-formatted (12" x 12"), 200 page, full color, hardcover volume that was published in 2018..
