At long last, here's a chance for North American readers to finally get their hands on an English language translation of this classic of psychedelic comics, originally published in France in 1970. Kris Kool is the work that launched Caza's cartooning career in Europe. It was not until the late 1970s that he burst into American comics consciousness, courtesy Heavy Metal Magazine, at which point in time psychedelia was no longer thought to be marketable, too bad for us! This new, revised edition, coming fifty years after its initial release courtesy Italy's Passenger Press (and is being distributed in North America by Portland's Floating World), is a clear case of "better late than never". It includes 16 pages of cool (or should we say "kool") bonus material. We'll have more to say, but wanted to put it up here now that it's in stock...
To get an idea of what's in store in this 96 page, full color, magazine size softcover, check out the publisher's brief preview page, HERE.
Now out of print :(
It's here, straight from Italy via DHL courier, the long awaited deluxe edition of Gianni De Luca's masterful – and unique – comics takes on William Shakespeare. Here in the 140+ massively oversize – 14 1/2" x 10 1/4" – pages are de Luca's adaptations of The Tempest, Hamlet and Romeo & Juliet. We hope to be able to say a bit more about these comics – as they are quite desesrving of discussion – but, for now we direct interested parties to Paul Gravett's elqouent piece on Deluca that he penned back in 2009.
GONE! (Will we get more...? Maybe, but even if so, it will likely be awhile; anyone definitely interested in this item should email us.)
