One of the most dramatic Smurfs adventures ever begins with the animals fleeing the forest because of a deadly forest fire.

It succeeds in putting out the fire, but destroys the Smurf Village and all of Farmer Smurf's crops! The Smurfs travel north to another part of the forest to procure food, but while they're away, their nemesis, Gargamel stumbles upon the wreckage of the Smurfs Village. As if that weren't bad enough, the Smurfs sense they are being watched - and they are! Not by Gargamel, but by the Wild Smurf, a Smurf that was once lost and raised in the forest. How do the Smurfs possibly survive losing their homes, and losing the security of knowing that Gargamel couldn't ever find their village before, while attempting to deal with a totally uncivilized Smurf?

SNOW WHITE GN

(W) Matt Phelan (A) Matt Phelan (CA) Matt Phelan

Award-winning graphic novelist Matt Phelan delivers a darkly stylized noir Snow White set against the backdrop of Depression-era Manhattan. Enter a cast of familiar characters: a young girl, Samantha White, returning after being sent away by her cruel stepmother, the Queen of the Follies, years earlier; her father, the King of Wall Street, who survives the stock market crash only to suffer a strange and sudden death; seven street urchins, brave protectors for a girl as pure as snow; and a mysterious stock ticker that holds the stepmother in its thrall, churning out ticker tape imprinted with the wicked words "Another...More Beautiful...KILL." In a moody, cinematic new telling of a beloved fairy tale, Phelan captures the essence of classic film noir on the page - and draws a striking distinction between good and evil.

SOFT CITY GN

(W) Hariton Pushwagner (A) Hariton Pushwagner (CA) Hariton Pushwagner

The only graphic novel by the legendary Norwegian pop artist Hariton Pushwagner - completed in 1975, lost for decades, and never before published in the United States - is a scathing masterpiece in the tradition of Brazil and A Brave New World but with an off-kilter beauty all its own. Pushwagner gives us an epic, exuberantly intricate vision of a single day in a world gone wrong: a brightly smiling, disturbingly familiar dystopia of towering skyscrapers, omnipresent surveillance, and endless, distant war. Every face looks like the next, and language itself has gone soft: "CLEAN BOMB THE HAPPY WAY," blares the morning paper; "Heil Hilton!" barks an overlord on the news. Welcome to Soft City. Now don't be late for work.
