Glenn Head Talks About Revealing Something Disturbing in “Chicago”

Preview: Glenn Head’s Chicago
Cartoonist Glenn Head is a comics lifer, with a sensibility filtered through the undergrounds and decanted into the best of 90s alternatives. And how he's crafted a autobiographical comic called Chicago (Fantagraphics) that should be called "portrait of the artist as a young jerk" -- with Jerk meant in the most loving sense possible. It's quite a statement from a creator who hasn't gotten the attention he should in today's comics-loving wold. But Chicago, on sale today, will change that. And here's why.

New Dan Clowes “SF love story” Patience due in 2016

It's described as "an indescribable psychedelic science-fiction love story." Certainly the art seems like a technicolor throwback to some of Clowes earlier genre-influenced work, as well as The Death Ray.

Benjamin Marra’s Terror Assaulter O.M.W.O.T. coming from Fantagraphics in 2015
Benjamin Marra's saucy blend of over the top violence, in your face graphics and themes of exploitation movies is coming to Fantagraphics in Fall 2015 with a large scale edition of TERROR ASSAULTER: O.M.W.O.T. (One Man War On Terror). Marra's work deals with the same themes of simplistic adventure and alpha males who kill and kiss with impunity...and a layer of self-awareness means that you can read it, enjoy the violence and not feel guilty afterwards. What is not to love here, people?
