ALL TIME COMICS CRIME DESTROYER #2 #5

(W) Josh Bayer (CA) Jim Rugg

Is Swan City's Crime Destroyer a hero... or a vigilante? In this hard-hitting tale of corruption and depravity by Benjamin Marra and Josh Bayer, Crime Destroyer's world is turned upside down when he battles the Judge and the P.Y.S.C.H.O.s. And nothing will ever be the same after the jaw dropping last page.

ARCTIC MARAUDER HC

(W) Jacques Tardi (A) Jacques Tardi (CA) Jacques Tardi

SPECTACULAR FAUX-WOODCUT VISTAS MAKE TARDI'S GROUNDBREAKING "ICEPUNK" STORY A RETRO CLASSIC In its ongoing quest to showcase the wide range of Jacques Tardi's bibliography, Fantagraphics reaches all the way back to one of his earliest, and most distinctive graphic novels: A satirical, Jules Vernes-esque "retro-sci-fi" yarn executed on scratchboard in a stunningly detailed faux-woodcut style perfectly chosen to render the Edwardian-era mechanical marvels on display. In 1899, "L'Anjou," a ship navigating the Arctic Ocean from Murmansk, Russia, to Le Havre, France comes across a stunning sight: A ghostly, abandoned vessel perched high atop an iceberg. But exploring this strange apparition is the last thing the sailors will ever do, as their own ship is soon dispatched to Davy Jones' locker via a mysterious explosion.  Enter Jérôme Plumier, whose search for his missing uncle, the inventor Louis-Ferdinand Chapoutier, brings him into contact with the sinister, frigid forces behind this - and soon he too is headed towards the North Pole, where he will content with mad scientists, monsters of the deep, and futuristic submarines and flying machines. Told with brio in hilarious slabs of vintage purple prose, The Arctic Marauder works both as ripping good adventure story and parody of same, and, predating as it does the later and not dissimilar Adèle Blanc-Sec series, is a keystone in Tardi's oeuvre in his fantastical mode.

END OF F$$$ING WORLD HC

(W) Charles Forsman (A) Charles Forsman (CA) Charles Forsman

To coincide with the forthcoming Netflix television adaptation of Chuck Forsman's best-selling 2013 graphic novel, Fantagraphics is proud to publish this new hardcover edition. TEotFW portrays James and Alyssa living a typical teen experience that takes a more nihilistic turn as James's character exhibits a rapidly forming sociopathy. Forsman's story highlights the existential search of many teenagers through a road trip drama that owes as much to Badlands as Charles Schulz, creating a wholly unique narrative tension between form and content.

FOG OVER TOLBIAC BRIDGE HC TARDI

(W) Jacques Tardi (A) Jacques Tardi (CA) Jacques Tardi

Fog Over Tolbiac Bridge is the first of four major graphic novels adapted by Tardi from the legendary French crime writer Léo Malet's original "Nestor Burma" novels. Tardi's stylish use of mechanical gray tones provides the book with a lovely period feel which, combined with Tardi's usual obsessive visual research, gives it a uniquely personal, authentic quality. Tardi's adaptation is a cracking good detective yarn and a milestone in comics history.

GIL JORDAN TEN THOUSAND YEARS HELL HC

(W) Maurice Tillieux (A) Maurice Tillieux (CA) Maurice Tillieux

Ten Thousand Years in Hell marks a sharp departure from the moody, urban detective style of Fantagraphics's previous Gil Jordan graphic novel by Tillieux, Murder By High Tide. Instead, the title story is a rollicking prison-escape yarn set in South America. The second story, "Boom and Bust," features one of Tillieux's patented spectacular car crashes. Tillieux's masterful graphics remind the reader why he was considered one of the top Franco-Belgian cartoonists of his time and, indeed, of any time.

MY PRETTY VAMPIRE HC

(W) Katie Skelly (A) Katie Skelly (CA) Katie Skelly

Clover yearns to be the girl she once was before becoming a fanged bloodsucker and, imprisoned by her brother, she plans her escape. The result is a sexy, sophisticated horror romp that wears its colorful Pop sensibility on its sleeve. Katie Skelly's sex-positive attitude and emotionally rich work makes for a wonderfully moody, progressive, and engaging read.
