NOW #9

NEW COMICS ANTHOLOGY

(W) Eric Reynolds (A) Various

This Eisner Award-winning anthology series is a self-contained cross-section of the best short comics stories the globe has to offer, at a price point that is unrivaled in contemporary comics publishing. This ninth issue of Now is anchored by the longest story featured in the magazine to date: "Misguided Love," a 40-page autobiographical tour de force by Texas artist Raquelle Jac. Ping-ponging among relationships, hospitalizations, internet "fame," international travel, sex, romance, and trauma, Jac's dense, obsessive pages read like a manifesto, announcing the arrival of a remarkable new voice in comics. This issue also features Now debuts from Hartley Lin (Young Frances), Ethel Wolfe, and Emil Friis Ernst (Doctor Murder), as well as work from Now regulars Keren Katz (The Academic Hour) and Noah Van Sciver, who homages BASIL WOLVERTON's cult favorite, science-fiction hero, Spacehawk.

PS ARTBOOKS WEIRD TALES OF FUTURE SOFTEE #2

(W) Various (A) BASIL WOLVERTON (CA) Na

Bug-eyed monsters, two-timing homicidal husbands and wives, rampaging corpses and even one or two cases of severe halitosis or crossed-eyes. This title has the lot... including a better-than-healthy dose of the one and only BASIL WOLVERTON! His intricately detailed grotesques of bizarre or misshapen people earned him the title of "Producer of Preposterous Pictures of Peculiar People who Prowl this Perplexing Planet." Just the covers alone have had the gang at PS muttering in their sleep just crossing off the days that this baby would come along. Collects Weird Tales of the Future #5-8 (January to July 1953).
