The Quitter
| |
| |
Harvey Pekar, the acclaimed creator and subject of the American Book Award-winning biopic American Splendor, tells the story of his troubled teen years when he would beat up other kids just to win the approval of his peers in this paperback edition of his virtuoso graphic novel. When he failed to impress, whether on the football team, in math class, in the Navy or on the job, he simply gave up. This true tour-de-force is the universal tale of a young man’s search for himself through the frustrations, redemptions and complexities of ordinary life.

The Contract with God Trilogy: Life on Dropsie Avenue
| |
|
The legendary graphic novel and the sequels that launched an art form. WITH GRAPHIC NARRATIVE that "was closer to the writing of Bernard Malamud or Isaac Bashevis Singer than any comic art which had preceded it" (The Economist), A Contract with God, originally published in 1978, was the first graphic novel: the prototype— along with Life Force and Dropsie Avenue—for such seminal works as Maus and Persepolis. Set during the Great Depression, this literary trilogy, assembled in one volume for the first time, presents a treasure house of now near-mythic stories ...

It's a Good Life, If You Don't Weaken
| |
| |
An Acknowledged Classic returns to Canada, gorgeously re-designed. In his first graphic novel, It’s a Good Life, if You Don’t Weaken—a best-selling D & Q titles ever—Seth pays homage to the wit and sophistication of the old-fashioned magazine cartoon. While trying to understand his dissatisfaction with the present, Seth discovers the life and work of Kalo, a forgotten New Yorker cartoonist from the 1940s. But his obsession blinds him to the needs of his lover and the quiet desperation of his family. Wry self-reflection and moody colours characterize Seth’s style in this tale about learning lessons ...

Stop Forgetting to Remember: The Autobiography of Walter Kurtz
| |
| |
WHO SHOT WALTER KURTZ?
Nobody. Walter Kurtz doesn’t exist. He’s the alter ego of me, Peter Kuper. But, if he were real, perhaps his obituary would read something like this:
Walter Kurtz, illustrator and self-exposing cartoonist, dies of embarrassment at 48.
Walter Alan Kurtz, born September 22,1958, in Cleveland, Ohio, to Harvey and Olive Kurtz (an Ellis Island rewrite from Kurtzberg), was pronounced dead at Mt. Sinai Hospital on Monday. He was rushed there following his collapse at the publication party for his coming-of-middle-age novel, Stop Forgetting to Remember. ...

Kings in Disguise: A Novel
| |
| |
"One of the most moving and compelling human stories to emerge out of the graphic story medium."—Alan Moore This award-winning tale, set in the height of the Great Depression, received rave reviews long before graphic novels became the phenomenon they are today. Hailed as one of the top 100 comics of all time by The Comics Journal, Kings in Disguise now reemerges as a classic. It is January 1932, and movie-loving Freddie Bloch is trading his father's liquor bottles for the cost a matinee: "Dreams were only a dime, but empty bottles [only] brought a penny apiece." ...

Alice In Sunderland
| |
| |
Sunderland! Thirteen hundred years ago it was the greatest center of learning in the whole of Christendom and the very cradle of English consciousness. In the time of Lewis Carroll it was the greatest shipbuilding port in the world. To this city that gave the world the electric light bulb, the stars and stripes, the millennium, the Liberty Ships and the greatest British dragon legend came Carroll in the years preceding his most famous book, Alice in Wonderland, and here are buried the roots of his surreal masterpiece. Enter the famous Edwardian palace of varieties, The Sunderland Empire, for a ...

Why I Hate Saturn
| |
| |
I'd been reading comics for nearly twenty years when I first read Why I Hate Saturn back in the early 1990s. Shortly after that, I stopped reading comics because I felt I would never read anything better within the medium. It took me nearly ten years to return to comics, and to this day, I still feel Why I Hate Saturn ranks among the best the medium has to offer.
