IDW - TOP SHELF

ROOTS TP

(W) Tara O'Connor (A) Tara O'Connor (CA) Tara O'Connor

On a journey to the old world-she discovered a whole new world. After a messy year of heartbreak and setbacks, Tara sets off to Ireland in search of clues to her family's ancestry, but what she found wasn't at all what she expected. Some of it has to do with the lack of records, but a lot has to do with John, the charming cartoonist she met on Twitter. Wrapped in real family history and set amongst the natural beauty of the Irish countryside, Roots is a classic romantic-comedy adventure and a page-turning account of a young woman finding herself.

SARTRE HC

(W) Mathilde Ramadier (A) Mathilde Ramadier (CA) Mathilde Ramadier

From his first readings in the Luxembourg Garden to his refusal of the Nobel Prize for Literature, Jean Paul Sartre was all of this at the same time.

DRAWN & QUARTERLY

SCENES FROM AN IMPENDING MARRIAGE HC (CURR PTG)

(W) Adrian Tomine (A) Adrian Tomine (CA) Adrian Tomine

At the behest of his soon-to-be wife, Adrian Tomine set out to create a wedding favor for their guests that would be funnier and more personal than the typical chocolate bars and picture frames. What started out as a simple illustrated card soon grew into a full-fledged comic book: a collection of short strips chronicling the often absurd process of getting married. A loose, cartoony departure from Tomine's previous work, Scenes From An Impending Marriage is a sweet-natured, laugh-out-loud skewering of the modern marriage process, including hiring a DJ, location scouting, trips to the salon, suit fittings, dance lessons, registering for gifts, and managing familial demands.
