Torsten Adair

I’ve been writing for The Beat since July of 2010.
I’ve been reading comics since 1974, collecting since 1984, and spreading the graphic novel gospel since 1994.
I’m a bookseller, a librarian, an amateur scholar, a cool uncle, and a comics evangelist.
Ask me anything!

  2. http://www.fantagraphics.com/browse-shop/barnaby-vol.-1-2.html

    That was listed in the SPRING 2012 catalog. Delayed, as usually happens with classic strip reprints, until February.

    Barnaby by Crockett Johnson (By (author)), Daniel Clowes (Introduction by), Eric Reynolds (Series edited by), Philip Nel (Series edited by)
    February 3, 2013 9781606995228, 1606995227 $35.00 Discount Code:LONG , Grades 3 to 5 Hardback Humor / Form Fantagraphics Series: Barnaby 336 pages 10.000 in W | 6.625 in H 254mm W | 168mm H Status: Forthcoming

  3. I would point out that On the Ropes is the sequel to Kings in Disguise, an unfortunately neglected work I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone, even non-comics readers. And if you insist on have a book in hardcover (we know who we are), copies of the signed hardcover edition are available from the former publisher (Denis Kitchen) at his web site.

  4. Nice to see Seven Miles a Second back in print. It’s the same page count as the original Vertigo Prestige format edition, so presumably there are no extras included. That makes it pretty pricey, I’d say. I reread it and the rest of the Vertigo Vérité titles recently. My blog entry about them is at http://mrvertigocomics.wordpress.com/2011/07/03/vertigo-miniseries-tour-part-8-vertigo-verite-seven-miles-a-second-the-system-girl-the-unseen-hand-hell-eternal/
