Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Jim Woodring has been drawing the otherworldly, allegorical adventures of his cartoon Everycreature, Frank, for three and a half decades. These stories are a singular rarity in the comics form -- both bone-chillingly physical in their depictions of Frank's travails and profoundly metaphysical at the same time. Not since George Herriman's Krazy Kat has the comics language been so exquisitely distilled into pure, revelatory aesthetic expression. With Quacky, Woodring adopts the format of 1930s Big Little Books to deliver a text story with illustrations, in which the typically nonplussed Frank's reactions are told to us explicitly, through narration and his own thoughts. Frank is buffeted by generosity, anguished to see how loving friends perceive him, distraught by the process of aging and physical transformation in a beloved pet, delighted by nature and physical experiences shared with others, and ultimately sees a path toward radical acceptance in the face of trauma.Frank cast regulars Pupshaw, Pushpaw and Manhog are here, along with new entries to Frank's world of the Unifactor. And, in a backup feature, we meet a cast of toontown pigs in a story that undercuts the kiddie book format: 'Hoggy Goes Hogwild.' Cunningham, the clever pig who helps all his friends, and his confirmed fiancée, Porceline, are called on to assist local pal Hoggy - who turns out to have gone on a violent crime spree, presaging a possible psychotic break.Jim Woodring is back, and no two worlds wouldn't be the same without him.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - South Korea, 1929. Arisa Jo, the daughter of a wealthy merchant, is the most eligible bachelorette in all of Gyeongsung (the capital city). With her Western dresses, movie star hairstyle, and assertive attitude, she embodies bold 'Modern' values. Meet her opposite, Jun Seomoon, a young man from the countryside deeply rooted in tradition. When Jun is charged by Arisa's father to be her escort in the big city, these opposing forces create sparks. Through this unlikely connection, these teenagers open their eyes to new perspectives amidst the rapidly changing world they live in. Coming off the heels of her acclaimed Raging Clouds, Lovers of the Empire proves Yudori to be a comic artist at the height of her creative powers. On the surface a sweet and funny will they, won't they romance, this story garners depth from its depiction of Korea at a crossroads: a city occupied by Japan, molded by Western influences, and facing a modernity that stirs inner conflicts within its citizens. Rendered in gorgeous full color, this period piece portrays a fascinating city in a tumultuous time, with two winsome characters at its heart.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Bimbo Agitprop captures the reality of growing up in West Texas in the early 21st century, through Satanic Panics, Y2K, a recession, abusive parents, shitty men, identity-centric politics, and woke/anti-woke pendulum swings. Reflective of the author's era (born in the late 1990s) of hyperindividualist over-sharing of late 2010s internet, while being firmly grounded in the unfiltered, handmade, radically anti-establishment art of the 1960s underground comix, Raquelle Jac keeps her wounds fresh and open to both remember the past and protect herself in the future. At turns explicit, hilarious, profane, and defiant, Bimbo Agitprop is both an act of self-preservation and a call to arms. Jac boldly embraces frivolity, 'bimboism,' comedy, memory, and storytelling to interrogate reality in the 2020s, ping-ponging among relationships, psychedelic trips, good sex, bad sex, romance, and trauma. Her dense, obsessive pages read like a manifesto, announcing the arrival of an arresting new voice in comics.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Lost Marvels series again delves into the misty margins of Marvel's past to shine a light on extraordinary work that has never or rarely been collected for modern readers. This is the first volume of a compendium of some of the legendary Gil Kane's finest storytelling. Freed from the conventions of super-hero battles, Kane's art is a revelation here, capturing in flamboyant, imaginative detail the classic settings and characters of Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book tales (made even more vibrant by the great P. Craig Russell's inking); the origin of Ka-Zar from Astonishing Tales; and episodes of Gullivar Jones, Warrior of Mars, an adaptation by Kane and Roy Thomas of the seminal 1905 SF/Fantasy novel. Plus, a genre-hopping gallery of 100 exciting covers by the artist who almost single-handedly defined the look of 1970s-era Marvel.…
