Writer/artist Rick Veitch's career bridges the underground comix of the 1970s, mainstream DC and Vertigo Comics, and the self-publishing revolution of the 1980s and 1990s.
In that extraordinary body of work, Brat Pack remains a landmark, and Teen Angels & New Mutants is the first in-depth study of a creator and graphic novel worthy of the autopsy.
Teen Angels offers a crash-course on teen pop culture and superhero sidekick history, fresh analysis of Dr. Fredric Wertham's seminal books, and charts the 1980s comic book explosion and 1990s implosion.

Do ideas of war and enemies hold a people together? Is a culture of conflict too seductive to not be irresistible? These are the questions Cathy Malkasian explores in her second graphic novel. She creates a densely textured social context, masterfully conveying the idiosyncratic physical domain with its spiralling structures and quasi-medieval architecture along with intimate yet plastic portraits of her characters in a rich, tonal pencil line. Temperance is a galvanising work of empathy and violence by one of today's most thoughtful and accomplished cartoonists.

Temporama takes place in a city where, like any concrete jungle, technology favours the privileged, and nature is quarantined like a virus.

Mysteriously marooned in an unnamed ocean, a man named Ishmael is rescued by pirates and sold into slavery. His past is a blank. Equipped only with courage, a talent for action heroics and the inspiration of a half-remembered love, he must flirt with the sinister tentacles of Hydracorp to win his freedom. The Territory is a land of wonder and fear; hidden in its dark heart, a haunting truth that Ishmael is driven to discover. But there are no maps to The Territory. Those who would explore it must draw their own.

The Three Paradoxes is an intricate and complex autobiographical comic by one of the most talented and innovative young cartoonists today. The story begins with a story inside the story: the cartoon character Paul Hornschemeier is trying to finish a story called "Paul and the Magic Pencil." Paul has been granted a magical implement, a pencil, and is trying to figure out what exactly it can do. He isn't coming up with much, but then we zoom out of this story to the creator, Paul, whose father is about to go on a walk to turn off the lights in his law office in the center of the small town. Abandoning the comic strip temporarily, Paul leaves with his camera, in order to fulfill a promise to his girlfriend that he would take pictures of the places that affected him as a child. Each "chapter" of the story is drawn in a completely different style, with strikingly unique production and color themes, and yet, somehow, despite (or perhaps because of) this non-linear progression, it all comes together as one story: a story questioning change, progress, and worth within the author's life.

What if the religious right... are right?

Therefore Repent! is a graphic novel set in a Chicago neighborhood after the Rapture. Once the Christians have floated bodily into the sky, life goes on pretty much as usual for the immoral majority.... except that magic works, if you're willing to risk demonic mutations. CNN reports that Mr. Christ and Mr. Bush are on a speaking tour of the red states. And an angelic army appears to have been deployed to mop up the sinners. But through it all, outsiders Raven and Mummy face the possibility of a bigger problem than the end of the world: the end of their relationship.

In the tradition of The Book of Revelations, Therefore Repent!, courtesy of novelist Jim Munroe (Flyboy Action Figure Cimes With Gasmask) and acclaimed artist Salgood Sam (Sea of Red) is a lurid, dark fantasy tale. By taking the apocryphal scripture as literal truth - as the American powers-that-be claim to do - the story also explores the political and spiritual ramifications of God abandoning humanity.

Thunderhead Underground Falls isn't a place, exactly. It's a time, a mood... a last debarkation point for a group of kids who want to communicate and be truthful and play before launching off into the uncertain waters of their adult lives.

Three friends meet in their first year of college and decide to get together to read each other their poetry. Unexpectedly, one of them invites his new girlfriend, and the evening turns into a competition for her affections. To this end, everyone tries to reinvent themselves as the person that they would most like to be, with comical and sometimes poignant results.

Waiting for him on its alien shores are the sights and experiences that will give shape to both his future and his past.

A new cartoon collection from the Eisner Award-winning and current New Yorker Magazine cartoonist Shannon Wheeler! Too Much Coffee Man, the long-underwear-clad hero who's been delighting fans for two decades, returns to the printed page in his first all-new adventures since having his life remade in opera form. Wheeler remains one of the best satirists of a generation, lending a hilariously cynical eye to Too Much Coffee Man's struggle to make sense of the ever-changing modern world - with a space octopus thrown in for good measure, of course.

What impact did WWII and the dropping of the atomic bomb have on the people of Japan? Through the eyes of an average Japanese woman in 1955, acclaimed artist Fumiyo Kouno attempts to address this question. Kouno's light, free style of drawing evokes a tender reflection on this difficult period in Hiroshima's postwar history. As the characters go about their daily lives, the shadow of the war and the destruction of the bomb linger ghostlike in the background.

With appearances in such anthologies as Zero Zero, Blab! and Kramer's Ergot, Stphane Blanquet has been delighting and terrifying readers with his super-slick, ultra-detailed creepiness. So it makes perfect sense that his first book from Fantagraphics should be.a children's book?! Yes indeed. The hero, attending a Halloween party in an embarrassing pink bunny costume (he wanted to be a pirate) stumbles across a secret society of damaged, forgotten and angry toys in the basement of his friend's house - including the terrifying Amelie, a sentient assemblage of broken toy parts!

Writer:Rob Dunlop, Artist: Peter Lumby
"Tozzer 2" is a smart funny pop culture satire, presented as a full colour graphic novel. The biggest stars in Hollywood are cut down to size, and movies like "The Matrix" and "Star Wars" get the pummelling they deserve. Dunlop and Lumby provide a satisfying dose of irreverent humour, which will delight film lovers and fans of "South Park" or "The Simpsons."
