We’re pleased to present an excerpt from the first collected edition of SE Case’s comic Rigsby WI. At WWAC, Alenka Figa praised the “pleasant sense of nostalgia in Case’s fashion choices and interiors” and the “especially emotional punch” of one storyline. A crowdfunding campaign is currently underway for this volume, and you can read a short excerpt below.
Masters of the Nefarious: Mollusk Rampage, the graphic novel by the French artist Pierre La Police, is a colorful, bizarre, hysterically funny book that will delight fans of Brad Neely and Michael Kupperman. The insane plot, which unfurls at a methodical pace of one panel per page, concerns a wave of violent antediluvian mollusks and the trio of furrowed-brow mutants—the twins Chris and Montgomery Themistecles, and their buddy Fongor—who set out to stop them (or not). The Masters of the Nefarious comic originally ran in the French magazine Les Inrockuptibles from 1994 to 1996, before being collected into three French-language volumes over the past several years.
Artist and publisher Craig Yoe has had a long career in comics and media — one that’s overlapped with everyone from Jim Henson to Steve Ditko over the years, as this interview in Scoop makes clear. His new project is an autobiographical one: the graphic novel Woman & Man+, for which Clover Press is running a crowdfunding campaign. We’re pleased to present an excerpt from the book featuring some of Yoe’s phantasmagorical imagery and unique storytelling approach.
It’s been over 30 years since the publication of Barry Gifford’s novel Night People — a book which David Lynch once optioned for film, which ultimately led to their collaboration on Lost Highway. This year will see Gifford’s novel adapted into a very different medium. A collaboration with co-writer Chris Condon and artist Brian Level, the first issue — from publisher Oni Press — will be in stores on March 6. Among the artists contributing covers to the project are J.H. Williams III, Joëlle Jones, and Jacob Phillips.
We’re pleased to present some news today from Bram Stoker Award-winning writer James Aquilone, who’s currently running a Kickstarter campaign for a new series, titled The Omega Eleven, as well as the second issue of the horror magazine Monstrous. Aquilone shared some exclusive artwork and character images from these two projects.
It’s unlike that you’ve ever read a graphic novel quite like Dave Baker’s Mary Tyler MooreHawk before. This sprawling adventure tale is both a heady pulp adventure and a formally inventive work with more layers than you’d expect. (It would fit comfortably beside the work of James Stokoe and Tom Scioli on your shelves.) We’re pleased to present an excerpt from the book, along with Baker’s thoughts on making prose and comics work in harmony.
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: there’s this new comic book publisher, and they’re making a splashy debut with a new line of comics. There’s been a bit of that this year, but right now I’m here to talk about the new press DSTLRY and their recent anthology The Devil’s Cut, which features an impressive array of writers and artists, including the people behind several of my favorite comics of the last five years.
We’re pleased to present an excerpt from Erdogan: A Graphic Biography: The Rise of Turkey’s Modern Autocrat, a new book from writer Can Dündar and artist Anwar. (The translation is by L.L. Kreider.) Dündar, a journalist who Orhan Pamuk called “a very courageous journalist,” is currently living in Berlin, for reasons discussed in this article. Read on for a glimpse of this groundbreaking graphic biography.
