COMPLETE NOIR MANCHETTE TARDI HC #1
STREETS PARIS MURDER
(W) Jacques Tardi (A) Jean-Patrick Manchette
Streets of Paris, Streets of Murder is the first of two volumes presenting all four crime graphic novels by Jean-Patrick Manchette and Jacques Tardi, including the never-before-collected Griffu and the out-of-print West Coast Blues. This volume also offers a 21-page uncompleted story by Manchette and Tardi as well as a single page introduction to another incomplete story, both published in English for the first time. These gritty stories are like a double shot of Scotch for any fan of unrelenting, uncompromising crime fiction.
DANCING AFTER TEN HC
(W) Vivian Chong (A) Georgia Webber
In late 2004, a rare skin disease, Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis, left Vivian Chong blind, forcing her to learn a new way of being in the world. She not only survived but thrived, discovering anew how to express herself creatively. Teaming up with cartoonist Georgia Webber to tell of her journey out of darkness and into the spotlight, she released her artistic vision in a variety of ways - including singing, stand-up, drumming, running, and dance. To be released simultaneously with the debut of Chong's dance-theatre production "Dancing with the Universe," this graphic novel is an inspirational tale and a powerful work of graphic medicine.
I AM NOT OKAY WITH THIS GN NETFLIX ED
(W) Charles Forsman (A) Charles Forsman
Charles Forsman (The End of the F***ing World) once again expertly channels teen ethos while telling a powerful story about the tug of war between trauma and control. Sydney seems like a normal 15-year-old freshman but she also has a few secrets- like how she's in love with her best friend, the bizarre death of her war veteran father, and those telekinetic powers that keep popping up at the most inopportune times. Forsman's I Am Not Okay With This comments on familial strain, sexual confusion, and PTSD with his signature dry style and firmly stakes his place among the world's best cartoonists.
PERRAMUS THE CITY AND OBLIVION HC
(W) Juan Sasturain (A) Alberto Breccia
Fantagraphics presents Alberto Breccia's revolutionary (literally) graphic novel for the first time in English. Perramus follows a political dissident on the run from the skull-faced Death Squad as he encounters a variety of eccentric characters including a director of imaginary films, a troupe of guerilla circus folk, a tin-pot dictator, and Ronald Reagan... This highly anticipated collection was created while Argentina's military dictatorship was still in power and is a cartooning tour de force, with a revolutionary message that remains vital to this day.
PITS OF HELL SC GN
(W) Ebisu Yoshikazu (A) Ebisu Yoshikazu
The Pits of Hell collects eight stories published between 1969 and 1981. Bold, absurd and all too real, Ebisu Yoshikazu's work feels distinctly underground, almost punk. The collection features a foreword by Minami Shinbo and an essay by Ryan Holmberg plus a retrospective essay by Ebisu Yoshikazu in which he offers background on each of the stories.
