Heads or Tails by Lilli Carré (our first book to sell out at SPX) who is signing.
$22.99 200 pages
“Carré’s elegant short stories read like the gothic, family narratives of Flannery O’Connor or Carson McCullers, but told visually. Poetic rhythms — a coin flip, a circling ferris wheel — are punctuated by elements of melancholy fantasy pushed forward by character-driven, naturalistic dialogue. The stories in Heads or Tails display a virtuosic breadth of visual styles and color palettes, each in perfect service of the story, and range from experimental one-pagers to short masterpieces.”

Ticket Stub
By Tim Hensley

BCGF will mark the East Coast debut of Ticket Stub
Ticket Stub collects all 9 issues of the beloved mini-comic zine series by critically-acclaimed cartoonist, Tim Hensley. In the 1990s, Tim typed subtitles for movies and broadcast television during his stint as a closed-caption editor. In darkened rooms lit only by a TV screen, he would cue up his favorite scenes and draw them into his sketchbook. No movie nor tv show, however classic or campy (ranging from Butterfield Eight to Big Momma’s House), was safe from his unique comic treatment. Mixing stark, powerful imagery with his distinct play on language, each page is dense with the Wally Gropius creator’s crisp, trademark linework. It’s truly a feast for the eyes.

lollygag_cover.jpg
Lollygag
Edited by Lark Pien
BCGF will also mark the East Coast debut of Lollygag.
What are the images that persist in your mind, forcing themselves onto paper again and again? Artist Lark Pien wrangles some of the most dynamic and inventive minds in art and comics to dish on this very subject in Lollygag, a revealing anthology collecting the compulsive doodles from the sketchbooks of Nick Abadzis, Trevor Alixopulos, Rina Ayuyang, Nick Bertozzi, Lille Carré, Martin Cendreda, Capucine Delouis, Eleanor Davis, Vanessa Davis, Renee French, Shaenon Garrity, Tom Gauld, John Hankiewicz, Tom Hart, Dylan Horrocks, Tom Kaczynski, Megan Kelso, Dave Kiersh, Larry Marder, Maré Odomo, Lark Pien, Jesse Reklaw, Jim Rugg, Daria Tessler, Angie Wang, Malachi Ward, and Dan Zettwoch. Each page sheds new light on the murky minds of cartoonists, quirks and all!

Kley_V1.jpg

The Lost Art of Heinrich Kley, Volume One: Drawings
The Lost Art of Heinrich Kley Volume One focuses on Kley’s ink drawings and reprints for the first time a substantial selection of his illustration work for children’s books and adult genre fiction, a side of Kley’s career previously unexplored in other collections. This volume also includes a wide sampling of Kley’s cartoons and magazine work, with newly collected examples taken directly from a variety of rare sources such as “Jugend,” “Simplicissimus,” and the historic “Der Orchideengarten” (the world’s first fantasy fiction magazine). In all, over 300 Kley illustrations and cartoons fill this first volume, with a Foreword by Michael Wm. Kaluta and the latest scholarship on Kley’s life and work.
 
Kley_V2.jpg

The Lost Art of Heinrich Kley, Volume Two: Paintings and Sketches
The Lost Art of Heinrich Kley Volume Two breaks new ground by being the first book to present a large number of Kley’s paintings and preparatory drawings, some reproduced directly from the original art. These color works reveal a rarely glimpsed pool of talent and expand on the subject matter traditionally associated with the artist. This volume’s preparatory drawings are culled from the untapped Kley archive of the Library of Congress and show the artist working out concepts for book illustrations, reworking ink drawings into color paintings, and doodling for his own amusement. Approximately 150 drawings, many in color, appear in this volume, along with an incisive appreciation by artist Jesse Hamm.

Why Is My Easy Easy Life So Hard?
by Dina Kelberman

“Dina Kelberman’s comics are all about contradictions, as she tries to balance living in her own head with that desperate, nagging need to interact with others. With her minimalist line, her avoidance of conventional narrative, her counter-intuitive use of color, and her focus on the decorative aspects of lettering, Kelberman cuts a unique figure in comics as a guileless provacateur as well as a humorist with surprisingly traditionalist roots.”
–Rob Clough

Sunday in the Park with Boys By Jane Mai

Eat_More_Bikes.jpg

Jane Mai will give you advice if you ask for it. For $666.00 she will give you a bad date where you will get punched in the face; for $666.00 she will give you a good date where you might not. With Sunday in the Park with Boys she has given us a poetic account of self-discovery and self-loathing. In this comic as emotional cartography, persona and person collide as Mai contends with loneliness, heartache and herself.

Eat More Bikes by Nathan Bulmer

Nathan Bulmer’s work has appeared in MAD Magazine, Time Out New York, Seattle Magazine, The Comics Journal, and his own self-published minicomics. Eat More Bikes takes its title from Bulmer’s daily webcomic, but the comics in this collection are all new. Rest easy Bulmer believers, these comics are just as joke-filled and still traffic in the same absurdist humour Eat More Bikes is known for. Guaranteed to have butterflies, at least one BMX, and a duck constabulary; not guaranteed to be found filed under cycling or food.

by Conor Stechschulte
32 page B&W book with a color cover in which strange characters appear from unknown origins and disappear to unknown destinations against a watery backdrop.

LODE BY Veronica Graham
published by Most Ancient
A book of interpermeating layers, LODE is also a collection of fading impressions left onto artist Veronica Graham after looking into Nevada’s boom and bust culture of the late 19th century. While the graphical landscapes come and go as you flip through, Graham has made a pattern of mine shafts puncture the entire design to hint at the time-rending impact of human whimsy. 60 pages total offset printed on translucent vellum, with a 3-color screenprinted dust jacket that was pulled by hand to boot! Only 500 of these exist.

Post York
story + art by James Romberger and music by Crosby

Post York is a multimedia project that takes the form of a comic book with an attached flexi disc single. The story is set in New York City after the polar ice caps melt. A young man navigates the flooded city, looking for something, anything, anyone…to start again. The comic book by James Romberger (Seven Miles a Second, Aaron & Ahmed) takes a postmodern turn as it uses improvisatory cinematic techniques to make the reader a focus group for a pair of alternative endings. The song by Crosby extends the story into another medium to add deeper emotional resonance. Post York is a prescient vision of a flooded future New York, which became all too real during hurricane Sandy. 40 pages, 8×11 in, $9

Poor Thing: Number One

Amazing young cartoonist, Drew Miller brings the first issue of an ongoing ‘one-man-anthology’ style series, featuring some of the drippyest, oozinest comics you’ll ever see.

It’s him or the cat in this charming collaboration between first time author (and renown Quebec comic actor) Yves Pelletier and the established artist Pascal Girard (winner of the Doug Wright Award for Bigfoot). The story concerns a young couple, Fanny wants to have children, and Fabien doesn’t feel ready. Then a cat called Romeo comes into their lives. She falls in love, but he’s allergic. Fanny becomes more and more attached to the cat, to the point where she actually rents a separate apartment for it. But it turns out her Romeo has actually been two-timing her. A perfect blend of Pelletier’s writing with Girard’s beautiful watercolours, this story will warm the hearts of cat lovers and people lovers alike!

Songs of the Abyss
by Eamon Espey

In what promises to be the most elaborate event in our history, we’ll be bringing you Eamon Espey’s Songs of the Abyss, his new collection and our Brooklyn Comics and Graphics Festival debut – and there will be a live adaption of his story “Ishi’s Brain” at Tomato House the night before BCGF. In collaboration with Lisa Krause of the Black Cherry Puppet Theater, Espey has developed a performance that will go far beyond a mere reading, including sculpture, shadow puppetry, masks, marionettes and an original score from Stephen Santillan (Thank You, Ghost Life). Our host, Tomato House, is the gallery and performance space founded by Matt Thurber (1-800-MICE). The performance of Ishi’s Brain will also serve as the centerpiece of the Norwegian comics collective Dongery’s book release celebration. We’re sure we’ve never seen anything like this before. Miss this, and you may never see anything like it again.
 
Songs of the Abyss is the evolution of Eamon Espey’s Wormdye, his debut collection from Secret Acres. Following his obsession with grotesque spirituality, Espey delivers ancient Egyptian gods who give birth to biblical giants. Santa Claus is revealed as an agent of the Devil. A scientist performs sadistic experiments in search of enlightenment. All of this is rendered in Espey’s inimitable compositions, in black ink and, for the first time, stained glass.

LIFE – The Complete Covers of John Held, Jr.
The original LIFE magazine was a funny, lively, clever weekly; a vivid reflection of its times and the journal on which The New Yorker modeled itself. It also boasted covers by the greatest cartoonists of the day. One of those artists was John Held, Jr., whose flappers and sheiks of the Roaring Twenties show us what the Jazz Age acted like and dressed like, how it danced, how it drank and partied and flirted, and broke hearts. Rosebud Archives is proud to showcase and collect for the very first time these classics of American culture to a new generation in its PadFolio format: an oversized portfolio of detachable prints.

Another challenging and poetic work from Andy Burkholder. This one is about a poet.

Tales of the Night Watchman
Next Saturday, the Brooklyn Comics & Graphics Festival will take place in Williamsburg, BK.  We’re very excited to be a part of it and hope you will be able to join us in attending.  In light of the destruction caused by Sandy, Lara and I have elected to donate 100% of our sales revenue for the day to theFood Bank for New York City who are presently assisting those in need across the Five Boroughs.  We will also match our revenue 100% in a personal donation.  That means we will make a donation twice as large as the amount we make at BCGF.

Now we know we’ve included some folks in this e-mail who do not live anywhere near NYC and will not be able to make it.  If you’re interested in supporting our efforts, we’ll also be donating 100% of sales generated by online orders starting today and ending midnight November 10th (the day of BCGF).  This includes Etsy and Lush Comics (if you wish to buy Issue One digitally).

Aside from just wanting to help out, we are excited to announce that we have four brand-spankin’-new pieces for sale that will debut at BCGF!  They are:

All of these items are up for sale starting today on our website but will not ship until after BCGF as that is where they officially premier.  We’ll make our donation Monday, November 12th.

Thanks so much for your support and we hope to see you all at BCGF, table D24!

  1. I recognize it’s not a top concern, but i wonder if you’re aware of how these insanely long image dump posts wreak havoc on someone’s RSS feed.

  2. I’m taken by the stark contrast of the numerous Retrospectives of amazingly talented illustrators and titles featuring cartoonists who believe craft is the enemy.
