Nothing to See Here
A continuation of Chackowicz's Howie Action Comix series in his alternative comic style.
Nova Graphica
More than the stereotypes of lobsters and fiddles, Canada's "ocean playground" of Nova Scotia boasts a vibrant history of ghost stories, folklore, industry, politics, and vibrant Black, Indigenous, LGBTQ and immigrant communities. Home or formerly home to some of Canada's biggest names in comics over the past decades, this anthology brings together more than 15 artists, making Nova Scotia's history come to life through a collection of graphic stories that are spooky, funny and thought-provoking. Nova Scotia and the Maritimes are usually neglected in the study of Canadian history. This anthology will bring offbeat stories from across the province to light in a fun, engaging and irreverent man...
The Library
Chihoi, a young Hong Kong artist, has had books published in Chinese, Italian and French. The Library is the first English edition of his work. Chihoi is a poet of the quotidian. He is also the poet of the invisible. He illuminates his stories with a warm spark. He imbues them with a rhythm. His stories are more complicated than they appear, open and complex and full of little contradictions and they resonate long after we turn the last page. They are like the calm after a storm, when the landscape is revealed anew.
The Ghosts We Know
In his debut book Sean Karemaker presents stories of his wild BC country childhood contrasted with his downtown Vancouver bus riding adventures. In between are stories of small town parties, drawing in cafés, school misfits, scrolls, street people of all kinds, and winding through it all are the ghosts, both known and unknown. Karemaker has a distinct panelless style of comics in which the narrative and art blend seamlessly. Journal writing has always been an instinctive foundation for him -- most often of an observational, autobiographical nature -- and here he combines it with flowing, murky images to make wholly original comics.
Weeding
X-Files meets The Young and The Restless
Heartless
"Powered by an expressive black and white drawing style, reminiscent of Robert Crumb and the meticulous pointillist technique of Drew Friedman, the dark undertone of Bunjevac's humour brings into light the range of socio-political issues her comics deal with, such as gender, nationalism or urban alienation, always from an ironic feminist perspective. Her chain-smoking, slightly alcoholic and manically depressed character Zorka may just be today's ultimate antiheroine. A Balkan immigrant in the Brave New World, working in that same meat factory for the last twenty years, tormented by family constraints and her own secrete desires... we simply can't get enough of her." -- BTurn
The Collected Neil the Horse
The world's only musical comic book, originally published by Aardvark/ Vanaheim in the 1980s, now collected for the first time.
Helem
A surrealist journey through survivor's guilt, lost dreams, and self-redemption A woman loses her sister to suicide and struggles with the overwhelming and confusing feelings that continue to plague her. A man reflects on a decade spent working in a call centre and the strange day-to-day momentum that caused him to unconsciously abandon his goals. Helem relies on a propulsive graphic narrative and evocative illustration to tell the intensely personal stories of two characters at a crossroads. The nearly wordless stories contained in Helem, originally published by TRIP as Agalma and Sequences, explore the two sides of the id, male and female, by delving deep into the internal lives of their characters. Helem, created while Wany was in a hallucinatory state brought on by a severe lack of sleep, also provides an intimate look into his own personal dreamscape.
To Know You're Alive
Graphic shorts filled with horror, humour, and the absurd.
Train
