FANTAGRAPHICS BOOKS

BOYS CLUB GN (CURR PTG)

(W) Matt Furie (A) Matt Furie (CA) Matt Furie

Matt Furie's deadpan comics showcase a series of comical vignettes combining laconic psychedelia, childlike enchantment, drug-fueled hedonism, and impish mischief. Furie's wildly popular teenage weirdoes became an internet sensation when Pepe the Frog was adopted by users of 4chan, giving Boy's Club built-in recognition. Boy's Club's sense of humor will especially resonate with fans of stoner comedies and black humor.

CELESTIA HC

(W) Manuele Fior (A) Manuele Fior

This highly anticipated new graphic novel from Manuele Fior (The Interview and 5,000 KM Per Second) showcases his singular talents as a once-in-a-generation visual artist and a deeply empathetic writer who uses science fiction to look to the future of humanity. The "Great Invasion" originated from the sea. It moved north across the mainland. Many fled, while some took refuge on a small concrete island called Celestia, built over a thousand years ago. Now cut off from the mainland, Celestia has become an outpost for criminals and other misfits, as well as a refuge for a group of young telepaths. Events push two of them, Dora and Pierrot, to flee the island and set sail to the mainland. There, they discover a world on the precipice of a metamorphosis, though also a world where adults are literally prisoners of their own fortresses, unintentionally preserving the "old world" at a time when a new generation could guide society towards a better humanity. Celestia is the most ambitious and successful graphic novel to date by one of the world's most exciting storytellers.

No sooner are these words spoken than a shot is fired through the window and the man is murdered by a mysterious assailant. Thus kicks off a madcap adventure wherein the mild-mannered Brindavoine races to the Middle East with assassins threatening him at every turn.
