Two of Spain's most sophisticated comics creators examine the legacy of one the most enigmatic works in the history of art: Diego Velázquez's Las Meninas (The Ladies-in-Waiting). Olivares's art moves from style to style as The Ladies-in-Waiting uses fiction to explore the ties between artists and patrons, institutions and audiences and creators and creativity. Their combined efforts have made the book a commercial and critical sensation in Spain, garnering international comics prizes along with the equivalent of the National Book Award in Spain.

One More Year continues the stony adventures of Megg the witch and Mogg the cat from Simon Hanselmann's previous two New York Times best-sellers, Megahex and Megg and Mogg in Amsterdam. Depressing, hilarious, and exceedingly human, One More Year continues to give more substance to the characters in ways that never fail to surprise, delight, and horrify.

Inspired by John Milton's Paradise Regained, Songy of Paradise is an interpretation of the story of Jesus being tempted by Satan in the desert with one notable exception: Jesus has been replaced by a hillbilly. Both an art object and a brilliant literary experiment, it will surely be the most eyepopping graphic novel of 2017.
