COMICS JOURNAL #303
The most award-winning, internationally acclaimed comics and graphic novel magazine in the medium's history returns to print! The Comics Journal, which is renowned for its in-depth interviews, comics criticism, and thought-provoking editorials, features Gary Groth in frank and often hilarious discussion with the satirist and children's book author Tomi Ungerer. Ungerer talks about the entire trajectory of his life and career: growing up in France during the Nazi occupation, creating controversial work, being blacklisted as a children's book author due to a backlash against his erotica. This issue, the first in its new twice-a-year format, covers the "new mainstream" in American comics - how the marketplace and overall perception of the medium has drastically shifted since the "graphic novel boom" of the early 2000s and massive hits like Persepolis, Fun Home, and Smile. It also includes sketchbook pages from French-born cartoonist Antoine Cossé, an introduction to homoerotic gag cartoons out of the U.S. Navy, Your Black Friend cartoonist Ben Passmore's examination of the role art and comics have in gentrification, a reconsideration of the comics canon by Eisner Award-winner Dr. Sheena C. Howard, and more.

COMICS OF JULIE DOUCET & GABRIELLE BELL SC
(W) Brannon Costello (Ed.) (A) Julie Doucet (CA) N/A
In a self-reflexive way, Julie Doucet's and Gabrielle Bell's comics defy easy categorization. In this volume, editors Tahneer Oksman and Seamus O'Malley regard Doucet's and Bell's art as actively feminist, not only because they offer women's perspectives, but because they do so by provocatively bringing up the complicated, multivalent frameworks of such engagements. While each artist has a unique perspective, style, and worldview, the essays in this book investigate their shared investments in formal innovation and experimentation, and in playing with questions of the autobiographical, the fantastic, and the spaces in between.

THROUGH THE ASHES
(W) Ralph Tedesco (A) JG Miranda (CA) Bryan Valenza
In the mid-21st century more than 98% of the world's population was wiped out by a devastating virus. Half of those who lived through the horror were completely immune, while the other half of the survivors mutated into something disturbingly subhuman called "Primals." Decades later, human survivors have set up small, highly guarded cities independent of one another across parts of the former United States. These are where the rich and powerful survive. However, the vast "wasteland" between these "strongholds" is an extremely dangerous and unforgiving place where gangs roam and terrifying Primals hunt in packs. Couriers are key to the survival of the rich and powerful and are paid handsomely to deliver valuables between cities. Eve Harper is the best at what she does, but when she takes a job to deliver goods to a dangerous gang leader, Eve is forced to use every trick she's ever learned in order to survive the riskiest run of her life.
