DEMENTIA 21 GN

(W) Shintaro Kago (A) Shintaro Kago (CA) Shintaro Kago

Yukie Sakai is a sprightly young home health aide eager to help her elderly clients. But what seems like a simple, straightforward job quickly turns into a series of increasingly surreal and bizarre adventures that put Yukie's wits to the test! Shintaro Kago is well known for combining the traditional manga style with a hyper realistic illustration technique and an adventurous storytelling approach to create his own genre referred to as "fashionable paranoia." All of his trademark virtues (and vices) are on full display in these darkly comedic tales that strain the bounds of the imagination.

PENGUINS HC

(W) Nick Thorburn (A) Nick Thorburn (CA) Nick Thorburn

Told almost entirely without words, Penguins is a series of interconnected short strips that does more to showcase the breadth of emotion we as humans experience than most prose novels. As author Nick Thorburn explains, "Penguins go through a lot of hell that could be avoided if they had the ability to fly. This cruel irony lends itself to humor, as well as sadness. Death and the desperate search for love and companionship seem so tethered to life as a penguin, as well as for humans, and so the goal was to bridge those two and make them funny."

PETEY & PUSSY GN PUPPY LOVE

(W) John Kerschbaum (A) John Kerschbaum (CA) John Kerschbaum

John Kerschbaum's Petey and Pussy return, and so does their unique brand of animal neuroses. Imagine a Secret Life of Pets where the animals hang out in dive bars. Petey is a compulsive dog that values his unchecked freedom and Pussy is a self-absorbed cat with a gambling problem. Their darkly hilarious stories all intertwine at an oddly surreal breakneck pace, making Kerschbaum's tales of balding domestic animals read as if Larry David wrote an R-rated Tom and Jerry for Adult Swim.
