In a uniquely told immigrant story, visual artist Frances Jetter connects her own life to her ancestors' and their ties to the labor movement. The narrative begins with Abram, a passionate advocate in his union but a tyrant at home, revealing the contradictions that make up his life and so many others. Some pages depict the struggle of workers, others are haunting vignettes of abandoned dolls and forgotten friends. It's also a love letter to Jetter's mother who hovers in the artist's mind like a ghost. There is a profound, understated moral power in Jetter's remembrance of loved ones, etching their essences in the same linoleum material that made up the floors of her childhood.

With a conversation between the author and famed SF author, essayist, and memoirist Samuel R. Delany.

The first 21st century English language translation of Italian master Attilio Micheluzzi, a rousing adventure story that takes place in the Middle East during World War II. The first act of this thrilling two-part adventure tale takes place in Beirut in 1941, when renegade journalist Marcel Labrume crosses paths with the beautiful and mysterious American millionaire Carol Gibson, who the Germans suspect of being a spy. With the help of Labrume, the young woman works to deliver a Jewish man wanted by the Germans to Palestine. Then, in 1942, Marcel Labrume is captured during the Battle of Bir Hacheim and becomes a prisoner of war. With his usual style and aplomb, and by the skin of his teeth, Labrume manages to narrowly escape death. Marcel Labrume is Fantagraphics' first entry in its planned Micheluzzi library, which will reprint all of his most significant works. Micheluzzi is one of the most iconic graphic stylists of the European comics scene known for his elegant line and stunning draftsmanship. He drew many graphic novels between 1974 and 1990, mostly of adventurous stories grounded in historical reality with a patina of romanticism, in the tradition of Milton Caniff and Hugo Pratt. Micheluzzi's artwork in these Fantagraphics editions have been meticulously and lovingly restored by the artist's daughter Agnes Micheluzzi and will be the finest reproductions in the artist's career.

Available for the first time in English, this first-ever Dutch graphic novel is a tour-deforce in all its 1960s psychedelic, pop art, and playfully erotic glory. The characters' emotions drive the anti-capitalist, dystopian narrative in Iris: A Novel for Viewers , the earliest graphic novel produced in the Netherlands. A young woman, Iris, has her heart set on a singing career, and, despite her boyfriend Mark's warnings, is seduced by the capitalist producer, "dream lover M.G." He molds her into a megastar, which leaves Mark peddling her merch: a life-sized Iris (sex) doll. Attempts to rescue Iris come to nothing; all they accomplish is allowing the dream lover to go on playing his games. Thé Tjong-Khing's Iris marks the peak of his career as a comics artist. He and scriptwriter Lo Hartog van Banda wanted to reach the socially motivated young people of the late 1960s, who were growing up with comics and television. Khing's style here, drawn with virtuoso élan, shows an affinity with his contemporaries, such as Guy Peellaert, and Iris herself is reminiscent of Barbarella. This edition includes an afterword by graphic designer and colorist Rudy Vrooman, which provides fascinating context about the historical and artistic significance of the work and its restoration process.

The landmark work of comics journalism by Joe Sacco in a new hardcover edition with a new afterword by Israeli journalist Amira Hass and an introduction by Palestinian American author and critic Edward Said. Joe Sacco's breakthrough work of graphic journalism - a now-established genre almost single handedly invented by Sacco - won the American Book Award upon its initial release in 1996 and has remained a perennial, essential work for understanding the Palestinian Israeli conflict in the Middle East. This new hardcover edition includes a new afterword by Israeli journalist Amira Hass and also features Palestinian academic and critic Edward Said's timeless 2001 introduction to the work. Based on extensive research and an extended visit to the Gaza Strip, West Bank, and East Jerusalem in the early 1990s, where he conducted over 100 interviews with Palestinians and Jews, Palestine was the first major comics work of political and historical nonfiction by Sacco, whose name has since become synonymous with this graphic form of New Journalism. Like Safe Area Gorazde, Palestine has been favorably compared to Art Spiegelman's Pulitzer Prize-winning Maus for its ability to brilliantly navigate such socially and politically sensitive subject matter through the immersive lens of the comic book medium. Sacco has often been called the first comic book journalist, and he is certainly the best. The End of the Peace Process, Power, Politics and Culture, and the memoir Out of Place . ALSO AVAILABLE Safe Area Gorazade: The War in Eastern Bosnia 1992-1995 $24.99 NOV171671

In the tradition of The Prince and the Pauper and Mickey's Christmas Carol , Disney's top stars dive back into wild spoofs of great literature! Donald meets demons in the perilous past-then Mickey gets roboticized in the far-flung future! First, it's Goethe... Duckburg style! Long ago in medieval Europe, alchemist "Dr. Donaldus Faustus" (Donald Duck) can't stand the feud between his uncle, Duke Scrooge MacDuich, and the brawling Beagle Barons. Donald turns to wacky Witch Hazel and demons of the underworld to help him make peace... but these magic misfits just might prefer war! Next, in a retelling of Fritz Lang's classic film, the future city of "Mousetropolis" is powered by the world's highest-tech factory. But that factory runs on the low-tech muscle of poverty-stricken peasants... and "undercover boss" Mictor (Mickey Mouse) discovers a plot to replace them with robots if they object! The Phantom Blot is in charge-and Minnie's next in line to go metal!

The story of a man driven to the edge - and beyond - by the world around him. But if he's the good guy, then who is the bad guy? Bruce Barnes is a schoolteacher having yet another shit day. His students are a disrespectful nightmare, gleefully relishing the misery they put him through. But today is even worse than usual, and after a particularly grim run-in with a student, he heads to the break room to bum a smoke off another member of the faculty. After lighting up, he's told the cigarette is laced with amphetamines. From there, Bruce rides his "rage snake" from the classroom to the ends of the cosmos and back - fighting, fucking, shooting, racing, and tripping his way from one impulsive move to the next. Reminiscent of films like Falling Down and shows like Breaking Bad , What We Mean By Yesterday is a black comedy descent into madness, a revenge horror/ fantasy that gives new meaning to the phrase "bad trip." What We Mean By Yesterday began as a daily comic strip, one page per day, posted on Marra's Instagram (@benjamin_marra). Originally begun as an experiment in drawing faster and looser, it quickly became one of the more popular pandemic era webcomics, followed by over 20,000 readers daily.
