D&Q has just firmed up their Winter/Spring titles for 2015 and…well, it’s going tobe another great year, in case all these previews we’ve been publishing haven’t given you that idea yet. As if new books from Jillian Tamaki, Michael Deforge, Anders Nilsen, Seth, Shizero Mizuki and the like weren’t enough to get you drooling into a bucket, there are a few new faces, such as MELODY by Svlvie Rancourt, a lost 80s comic about a woman’s life in rural Canada, and a new book by stunning Norwegian illustrator Bendik Kaltenborn. More Moomin! More Anna and Froga! And yet More Clyde Fans from Seth! Say what you will, but I love by once every two years look into the lives of Abe and Simon Matchcard and their doomed fan company.
PLUS….as 25th Anniversary spectacular with variant covers by Paco Medina and Alex Ross including tributes from writers including Margaret Atwood (writing on Kate Beaton), Sheila Heti (writing on Moomin), Jonathan Lethem (writing on Chester Brown), Françoise Mouly (writing on Adrian Tomine). The immense tome will also spotlight the history of the company with interviews, photos and many a little of the sassy D&Q style we all love from their website. AND hundreds of pages of previously unpublished/untranslated comics by Kate Beaton, Chester Brown, Michael DeForge, Joe Matt, Jillian Tamaki, Yoshihiro Tatsumi, Guy Delisle, Julie Doucet, Art Spiegelman, Adrian Tomine, Rutu Modan, Shigeru Mizuki, and again, many more. Gotta sit down! Too much awesome!

PLUS check out the current 50% off sales running until the end of the week!
Don’t buy books direct from D&Q…I’m sorry but 30% off cover price plus a huge shipping bill is way more than you’d pay on Amazon every day of the week…
Boo! False Advertising! JERUSALEM: CHRONICLES FROM THE HOLY CITY BY GUY DELISLE. Now in paperback, expanded with sketches from Delisle’s time in Jerusalem!
I was expecting to find out about a new book :(
Not really upset, just bummed out…
But the sale is 50%, Alex.
I wish they would go back to their anthologies. Ive discovered so many of my favorite comics and cartoonists through those.
So… Joe Matt is never going to publish again, is he?
