Første ledd i No Comprendos Olaf Gulbransson-satsning
foreligger nå. Den geniale norske tegneren, oppvokst i Kristiania, flyttet
i 1902 til München for å tegne i det verdensberømte satirebladet
Simplicissimus. I 1934 ga han ut sin tegnede og håndtekstede
selvbiografi, Det var engang, parallellt på tysk og norsk, og i
1954 kom del to Und so weiter ut i Tyskland. Denne har bare vært
utgitt i utvalg i Norge, så selvbiografien kommer altså nå for første
gang komplett på norsk, og samlet i ett bind. Et fantastisk
kulturhistorisk prosjekt! Gulbranssons elegante, poengterte tegninger
ledsages av en idiosynkratisk og morsom tekst. Her er det stor sjarm og
glimt i øyet! Vi gleder oss vilt til fortsettelsen med Steffen Kverneland
og Lars Fiske sin tegnede reiseskildring i Olaf Gulbranssons fotspor.

"Presenting a unique, stand-alone companion to our Krazy &
Ignatz series. The Kat Who Walked In Beauty collects many
rare and unique dailies from the 1910s and 1920s. Though many readers are
aware of Herriman's dynamic Sunday pages, few know that during 1920, in
what must have been an editorially unrestrictive period for Herriman, he
drew some of the most graphic and brilliantly conceived daily strips ever
created; they look like "mini-Sunday" strips. This nine-month
stretch of dailies, never-before-reprinted, is among the treasures included
in this collection. The collection includes many other Herriman gems,
including the very first stand-alone Krazy & Ignatz strips from 1911,
and the illustrations from Herriman's Krazy Kat Jazz pantomime/ballet,
performed to captivated New York audiences in 1922. This book fills in
several gaps in the daily strip history, reproduced at close to their
original size." -Fantagraphics

"My Brain Is Hanging Upside Down is Heatley's life story
told in six different but connected narrative threads. Sex History
describes every sexual encounter dating back to kindergarten, with details
that would make a therapist blush. Black History is an
unflinchingly honest meditation on his own racism. Portrait of My
Mom and Portrait of My Dad are beautifully paced vignettes,
skewering and celebrating his lovably dysfunctional parents. Family
History tells the story of his family from his
great-great-grandparents' lives and closes with the birth of his own
children. Woven in and around the larger pieces are dream comics
that expand on the same themes with a baffling unconscious logic.
Every inch of My Brain Is Hanging Upside Down is filled with
visceral art and emotionally resonant storytelling at once stunning,
truthful, and uncomfortably hilarious." -fra omslaget

Fra omslaget: "Joann Sfar's beloved, humorous, and wise talking
cat is back for more beautifully illustrated adventures in Algiers and
across Africa in the 1930s. While the rabbi is away, his cat tags along
with Malka of the Lions (the rabbi's enigmatic cousin), who roams the
desert with his ferocious-on-demand lion. Some believe Malka to be a pious
Jew, others think he's a shrewd womanizer, but the cat will be the one to
discover the surprising truth.
Back in Algiers, the rabbi's daughter,
Zlabya, and her new husband fill the house with their fighting, while the
city around them fills with a rising tide of anti-Semitism. On a whim, the
rabbi's cat, the rabbi, a sheikh (also a cousin of the rabbi), and a very
misplaced Russian painter set out on a fantastic journey (even encountering
a young reporter named Tintin in the Congo) in search of an African
Jerusalem. It turns out to be very fortuitous that the rabbi's cat is not
just a talking cat, but a multilingual talking cat."

legendarisk bølle i det arktiske ishavet. Han har kun en tanke
i hodet; å finne det mytiske øyparadiset Far Arden som
visstnok skal finnes et sted i det kalde nord. Men Shanks har ikke bare
uendelige mengder vann å forsere på sin ferd, han må
hamle opp med sirkusartister, foreldreløse hjerteknusere, bitre
ekskjærester, onde kjeltringer og hele den kongelige kanadiske
marinen!.
