From the creator of Nichijou comes a new slapstick comedy series about a penniless college student who moves to a town filled with bizarre people. This reckless girl will be the one who eventually sets the city in motion. Nagumo is in a bit of a bind. She's a college student, and like many people in her situation, is struggling with money. She is in debt and her landlord is trying to shake her down for rent. Asking her friends no longer works! They know her deal and they do not have the cash to prop her up, even temporarily. So what is she supposed to do under these circumstances? Well maybe bullying would help. Maybe petty theft? Neither one is realistic. Maybe getting a job would settle things... But that means working and not having fun in the big city. Life in the city is an adventure. Thankfully it's a fruitful and entertaining one at that!

Comic Book Creator takes a look at the legacy and influence of Wallace Wood, one of the greatest comic book artists the world has even known, with a heartfelt tribute about Woody's career. Included is an extended interview with former "Woodworker" Ralph Reese, one of the finest artists to emerge out from under Woody's wing and into a superlative career in the 1970s, whether on Marvel's horror comics, upon the pages of National Lampoon, or in the underground realm. Plus we have a long chat with cover artist Hilary Barta, from his early years as Marvel inker, fondly-recalled Plastic Man, rise with "spitting" Image Comics and America's Best collaborations with Alan Moore, to his current work for Plankton Comics.

COMICS OF CHARLES SCHULZ GOOD GRIEF OF MODERN LIFE SC

(W) Jared Gardner (A) Charles M. Schulz (CA) Charles M. Schulz

An unparalleled gathering of research devoted to one of the world's most influential comic strips, The Comics of Charles Schulz collects new essays on the work of the creator of the immensely popular Peanuts comic strip. Despite Schulz's celebrity, few scholarly books on his work and career have been published. This collection serves as a foundation for future study not only of Charles Schulz (1922-2000) but, more broadly, of the understudied medium of newspaper comics.

UNIVERSITY PRESS OF MISSISSIPP

COMICS OF HERGE WHEN THE LINES ARE NOT SO CLEAR SC

(W) Geoffrey Hayes (A) Herge (CA) Herge

As the creator of Tintin, Hergé (1907-1983) remains one of the most important and influential figures in the history of comics. When Hergé, born Georges Prosper Remi in Belgium, emerged from the controversy surrounding his actions after World War II, his most famous work leapt to international fame and set the standard for European comics. While his style popularized what became known as the "clear line" in cartooning, this edited volume shows how his life and art turned out much more complicated than his method.
