Den internationella storsuccén Megg och Mogg pumpar på med en fjärde bok på svenska. Ännu fler utflippade drogrus, ännu mer pennalism riktad mot Uggla, ännu fler galna upptåg och sexövergrepp. Denna gång får vi även en lång, tidigare opublicerad berättelse om när Megg och Varulv Jones åker på turné med sitt band Horse Mania, samt en hel del annat material som samlas här för första gången i bokform på något språk.

I ”Mats Jonsson drar åt helvete” samlar Mats Jonsson de samtidssatiriska ensidesserier han producerat för Arbetet under de senaste fyra åren. Läs och påminns om en mängd kulturdebatter du alldeles nyss lyckats glömma, valrörelsen 2018, varför Mats flyttade tillbaka till Ådalen och hur mycket han tycker om så kallade ”plopp-slut”. Unikt, högsmalt format. Kommenterad utgåva.


Mats Jonsson (f 1973) är självbiografisk serietecknare och barnboksförfattare, känd för böcker som Hey Princess, Nya Norrland och Blod i gruset.

Sasha är en deprimerad ung slacker som bor hos sina föräldrar och letar efter en mening med sitt liv. Eliza är en ensamstående varannanveckasmamma som jobbar på en deli och försöker hinna med nåt slags karriär som spoken word-artist och författare.

Det här är en samlingsvolym med alla tio nummer av fanzinet med samma namn som gavs ut i begränsade upplagor mellan 2007 och 2010. I synnerligen expressiv serieform skildras punkspelningar, punkturnéer, punkfestivaler, festkvällar och en massa annat. Med bonusmaterial och en mängd gästartister! Förord av Pontus Lundkvist.


Katarina "Kattis" Mörk är född 1983 i Nykvarn och har, förutom i fanzin, medverkat i bl a Det Grymma Svärdet, Galago och Brand.

Joe Kesslers första serieroman är en vindlande, färgrik, stum fabel om en liten pojke som förföljs av en mystisk måsvarrelse. Kessler går ännu längre än han gjort tidigare vad gäller att utforska den tecknade serieformens yttersta gränsmarker.

Joe Kesslers första seriebok på svenska, "Fönsterruta" (2020) belönades med ett pris för bästa debut på seriefestivalen i Angoulême.

"Två män kring fyrtio, den ene med småbarn och den andre med gravid flickvän, reser på en helgresa till Oslo för att träffa kompisar, supa hårt och förtvivlat klamra sig fast vid den flyende ungdomen. Fyllesvetten som rinner utför huvudpersonens retirerande hårfäste, de infernaliskt väl fångade replikväxlingarna, den vaga skammen i baksmällan – allt får mig att må lika dåligt som om jag själv varit med på den här tröstlösa vandringen mellan norska uteställen fyllda av folk bra mycket yngre än jag själv.
Efter gott och väl ett decennium då den typiska svenska seriedebutanten varit en tjej i 25-årsåldern, känns det nästan chockerande fräscht, på ett bakvänt sätt nyskapande, att få krypa under skinnet på en medelålderskrisande manlig akutläkare. ”Oslo” är en påminnelse om skönheten i det självbiografiska berättandets ynkedom."

The next incredible instalment in the library of award winning master comics creator Philippe Druillet!

Vuzz is a warrior. A looter who has simple needs in life: to fight, to eat and to make love. Vuzz lives in a world where ruined cities are home to zombies, giant rabbits, and salacious wizards. A world where everything is desolation and uncertainties. A world where Vuzz can ultimately only count on himself. Which suits him just fine...

Featured in stunning black and white, this story is deliberately offbeat and almost humorous; utilizing a stripped-down narration and minimalist illustrations. In the works of Philippe Druillet, Vuzz is a character like no other!

With the publication of R. Crumb's debut issue of Zap in 1968, the Underground Comix revolution exploded, creating a major paradigm shift and blowing the lid off the traditional comic book. Maverix and Lunatix features 101 full page portraits (and more) by a cartooning icon in his own right, Drew Friedman, spotlighting the essential artists, writers, and editors who defined one of the great art and countercultural movements of the 20th century. Featuring R. Crumb, Gilbert Shelton, S. Clay Wilson, Melinda Gebbie, Art Spiegelman, Vaughn Bode, Trina Robbins, Bill Griffith, Jay Lynch, Sharon Rudahl, Larry Gonick, Rick Veitch, Joyce Farmer, Justin Green, Grass Green, George DiCaprio, Diane Noomin, Harvey Pekar, Robert Williams, Howard Cruse, Dan O'Neill, Spain Rodriguez, Shary Flenniken, Richard Corben, and so many others... all of whom helped to reinvent an entire artistic medium and became icons of underground comix.

Featuring a foreword by Marc Maron (WTF with Marc Maron) and an afterword by historian Patrick Rosenkranz (Rebel Visions: The Underground Comix Revolution 1963-1975), each portrait in Maverix and Lunatix is also accompanied by a short biography of its subject by Friedman, making the book both a gorgeous art book and a valuable historical resource.

With his shrewd eye for mundane absurdities and deeply relatable urban creatures, Will McPhail is one of Britain's most distinctive cartoonists. His cartoons delight in the anxieties of everyday life, skewer modern politics and capture the painful and ridiculous truths behind our behaviours.

In his first collection, new cartoons are united with old favourites: knowing mice and eligible pigeons fill our cities, while the beloved adventures of Lady No-Kids gleefully continue. Pondering life, love and nonsense, Love & Vermin is a trove of sly wisdom and laughter.

"When the Showa Era began, Mizuki himself was just a few years old, so his earliest memories coincide with the earliest events of the Era. With his trusty narrator Rat Man, Mizuki brings history into the realm of the personal, making it palatable, and indeed compelling, for young audiences as well as more mature readers. As he describes the militarization that leads up to World War II, Mizuki’s stance toward war is thoughtful and often downright critical – his portrayal of the Nanjing Massacre clearly paints the incident (a disputed topic within Japan) as an atrocity. Mizuki’s Showa is a beautifully told history that tracks how technological developments and the country’s shifting economic stability had a role in shaping Japan’s foreign policy in the early twentieth century."

"The final, Eisner Award-winning chapter of a legendary cartoonist s history of Japan. Showa 1953-1989: A History of Japan concludes award-winning author Shigeru Mizuki's stunning historical and autobiographical series about Japanese life in the twentieth century. The final volume picks up in the wake of utter defeat in World War II, covering the United States shift from enemy to ally. Jobs, money, and opportunity are funneled along in a bid to establish the country as a bulwark against Communist expansion. Japan thus reinvents itself, emerging as an economic powerhouse. Events like the Tokyo Olympiad and the World's Fair reintroduce the world to a much friendlier Japan, but this period of peace and plenty conceals a populace still struggling to come to terms with the devastation of their all-too-recent past. Mizuki's own struggles mirror those of the nation during this period of recovery and reconciliation. He fights his way back from poverty, rising to the rank of cartoon celebrity beloved by millions of manga-reading children. However, prosperity cannot bring the happiness Mizuki craves, as he struggles to find meaning in the sacrifices made during the war. This visionary series, told by a true man of his time, is a magnum opus fully representative of the graphic novel as world literature."
