Innovator of the comics form, enter the Marchenoir Library, a gallery of the most beautiful covers from a beloved (fictional) series, Marchenoir. Unfortunately, the covers are all that's left of the mystery of Marchenoir, ex-celebrity singer/songwriter working as a super heroine to pay off her debts, and defend our dreams and reality, as she searches for a terrestrial paradise. Can you read a book by its covers? Light on words, big on adventure story told through a compilation of covers.
MUSEUM OF MISTAKES FART PARTY COLLECTION TP

In 2004, JULIA WERTZ began a series of funny, irreverent autobiographical comics she called The Fart Party. After posting these comics online to acclaim and controversy, she eventually started collecting these comics as self-published minis which found their way to Atomic Books in Baltimore, who thought they ought to be collected into a proper book. As these things go, the first volume was so successful, there was a second volume. Both are now out of print, but Museum of Mistakes collects them into one book, plus numerous pages of Julia's early comic work, unpublished and/or previously uncollected comics, short stories, illustrations, process pages, hate mail, sketchbook pages, tear stains and more.
