"...Leah Hayes' stylistic tour de force and graphic narrative debut,
features a series of short stories illustrated entirely in the
appropriately otherwordly medium of scratchboard. The uneasy rhythms of the
prose perfectly captures the lives of obsessive, eccentric or
unconventional characters who face their demons or try to solve the
inexplicable riddle of their lives." -Fantagraphics

This is a tour-de-force new work by rising indie comics star Gene Yang. "American Born Chinese" maps the adolescent Chinese-American experience through three separate but interwoven stories. One story centres on Jin Wang, a Chinese-American student at an all-white California high school. Jin is plagued by jocks and bullies, so when another Chinese student transfers to the school, Jin wants nothing to do with him. Next is a comic update of the legendary story of the Monkey King, an ancient Chinese morality tale. Finally, there's the gross and surreal stereotype of Chin-Kee, the ultimate negative Chinese cliche, complete with a sitcom-style "laugh track". These three apparently unrelated tales come together in an astonishing climax - all with a mighty blast of humour, surprising poignancy and skilled artistry.

"Daniel Wells begins a new life as an assistant junior high
school teacher in the rural Japanese village of Tonoharu. Isolated from
those around him by cultural and language barriers, he leads a monastic
existence, peppered only by his inept pursuit of the company of a fellow
American who lives a couple towns over. But contrary to appearances, Dan
isn't the only foreigner to call Tonoharu home. Across town, a group of
welthy European eccentrics board in a one-time Buddhist temple, for reason
that remain obscure to their gossiping neighbors." -Pliant

"What It Is demonstrates a tried-and-true creative
method that is playful, powerful, and accessible to anyone with an
inquisitive wish to write or remember. Bursting with full-color drawings,
comics, and collages, autobiographical sections and gentle creative
guidance, each page is an invigorating example of exactly what it is:
"The ordinary is extraordinary." Lynda Barry explores the depths
of the inner and outer realms of creation and imagination, where play can
be serious, monsters have purpose, and not knowing is an answer unto
itself.
How do objects summon memories? What do real images feel like? These
types of questions permeate the pages of What It Is, with words attracting
pictures and conjuring places through a pen that first and foremost keeps
on moving. Her insight and sincerity will tackle the most persistent of
inhibitions, calling back every kid who quit drawing to again feel alive at
the experiential level. Comprised of completely new material, this is her
first Drawn & Quarterly book." -Drawn

"Awkward, Definition, Potential, and
Likewise chronicle my four years at Berkeley High School. I wrote
each book during the summer after the school year I was documenting. The
books cover crushes, band obsessions, new friendships, drinking and smoking
pot, my obsession with science, coming out as bi, coming out as gay,
falling in love, losing my virginity, my parents’ divorce, and the
personal and social complications of writing about my life as I live
it." -Ariel Schrag

" "The real war," said Walt Whitman, "will never
get in the books." During World War II, the closest most Americans
ever came to the "real war" was through the cartoons of Bill
Mauldin, the most beloved enlisted man in the U.S. Army.
Here, for the first time, Fantagraphics Books brings together
Mauldin's complete works from 1940 through the end of the war. This
collection of over 600 cartoons, most never before reprinted, is more than
the record of a great artist: it is an essential chronicle of America's
citizen-soldiers from peace through war to victory.
Bill Mauldin knew war because he was in it. He had created his
characters, Willie and Joe, at age 18, before Pearl Harbor, while training
with the 45th Infantry Division and cartooning part-time for the camp
newspaper. His brilliant send-ups of officers were pure infantry, and the
men loved it.
After wading ashore with his division on the first of its four beach
invasions in July 1943, Mauldin and his men changed — and Mauldin's
cartoons changed accordingly. Months of miserable weather, bad food, and
tedium interrupted by the terror of intense bombing and artillery fire took
its toll. By the year's end, virtually every man in Mauldin's original
rifle company was killed, wounded, or captured.
The wrinkles in Willie and Joe's uniforms deepened, the bristle on
their faces grew, and the eyes — "too old for those young
bodies," as Mauldin put it — betrayed a weariness that would
remain the entire war. With their heavy brush lines, detailed battlescapes,
and pidgin of army slang and slum dialect, Mauldin's cartoons and captions
recreated on paper the fully realized world of the American combat soldier.
Their dark, often insubordinate humor sparked controversy among army brass
and incensed General George S. Patton, Jr." -Fantagraphics

"An intimate look at the work and life of a legendary artist. Gary
Panter has been one of the most influential figures in visual culture
sincethe mid-1970s. From his era-defining punk graphics to his cartoon icon
Jimbo to his visionary design for Pee-Wee’s Playhouse, he has
left his mark on every medium he’s touched. Working in close
collaboration with the artist, PictureBox has assembled the definitive
volume on Panter’s work from the early 1970s to the present. This
monumental, slipcased set is split into two 350-page volumes. The first is
a comprehensive monograph featuring over 700 images of paintings, drawings,
sculptures, posters and comics, alongside essays by Robert Storr, Mike
Kelley, Richard Klein, Richard Gehr, Karrie Jacobs and Byron Coley, as well
a substantial commentary by the artist himself. The second volume features
a selection from Panter’s sketchbooks–the site of some of his most
audacious work–most of which has never been published in any form."
