Foligatto
The first work by Eisner-nominated artist Nicolas de Crécy is the lyrical and hauntingly beautiful tale of a tormented opera singer.
Glacial Period
In this fanciful and richly imaginative story, one of the most original and important young European comic artists imagines a frozen world thousands of years hence in which all human history has been forgotten. A small group of archaeologists come upon the Louvre, buried in age-old snow, and cannot begin to explain all of the artifacts they see. Their interpretations of the wonders before them strike a humorous, absurd, and farcical tone. One of the few books coedited by the Louvre, this graphic novel features stunning illustrations as it presents a unique vision of the great museum.
Salvatore
After finishing his ultimate mode of transportation, Salvatore, the in-demand auto mechanic dog, sets off to find his beloved sweetheart, taking along his reluctant assistant, a minuscule human who communicates only through a PC.
The Adventures of Percival
Fantasy fiction. In the first of a series of adult fairy tales, a gardener mathematician decides to enact the proposition that a chimpanzee working long enough at a typewriter could produce the works of Shakespeare. Explorations of cognitive science, animal behaviour and landscape design inspire a story of bizarre behavioural mergings between man and animal.
Metax
Ronin is a dystopian city-state greedily dependent on a mysterious natural resource - until it meets a force indifferent to social or class status.#13;#13;Metax is a precious material that has become indispensable to survival because of its extraordinary qualities. When an insurrectionist group opposed to the mining of Metax threatens the government's control, a power play is set in motion that will change the destiny of the kingdom forever. This lusciously illustrated, science fiction fantasy by Antoine Cossé moves with the grace of a swan. Dark, romantic, and compassionate, it is an exploration of greed, its consequences, and the possibility of escape.
The Sky Over the Louvre
The story of a painting of the Supreme Being, ordered by Robespierre from the famous painter, David - a painting that was never made. It's also the story of another painting, that of the young Bara, a 13-year-old martyr of the Republic. From the inauguration of the Louvre - a former royal palace - as the museum for the people, to the death of Robespierre, The Sky Over the Louvre tells the eerie and disturbing tale of an artist coming up against Robespierre during the French Revolution.
Curses
In the two decades since Curses first hit the shelves, River at Night cartoonist Kevin Huizenga has taken his rightful place on a short A-list of comics experimentalists. Deep research and loopy cartooning serve up philosophical musings while maintaining a classic comic-strip devotion to “the gag.” Huizenga remains one of the funniest and smartest cartoonists working today, and now, the very book that heralded his arrival as a talent to watch is available once more in deluxe paperback as the early work of a now true genius. The short stories collected herewith confront the textures of mortality in unique and peculiar ways. Central character Glenn Ganges is a seemingly middle-class, suburbanite whose blank-eyed wonderment at the everyday brings together diverse aspects of our world—like golf, theology, late-night diners, parenthood, politics, Sudanese refugees, and hallucinatory vision—into a complete experience as multifaceted as each of our own lives.
Morpho
In this book, Michel Lauricella presents both his artistic and systematic methods for drawing the human body—with drawing techniques from the écorché (showing the musculature underneath the skin) to sketches of models in action. In more than 1000 illustrations, the human body is shown from a new perspective—from bone structure to musculature, from anatomical detail to the body in motion. Morpho is a rich, fascinating, and helpful book that can go with you everywhere on your sketching journey. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 16.0px Times; color: #212121} p.p2 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 16.0px Times; color: #212121; min-height: 19.0px} p.p3 {margin: 0.0px...

As a Cartoonist
"Noah Van Sciver empties all the arrows in his quiver in this collection of comics fiction, biography, memoir, meta-memoir, satire, and more. He juxtaposes a series of fictional stories in which he imagines being a "19th Century Cartoonist" with autobiographical strips about the day-to-day of a contemporary writer-artist, in addition to meditative pieces about his father and childhood that informed his chosen path. As a Cartoonist is a funny and other poignant reflection on the human condition and how we choose to live. All the while, his love for comics and thirst to unpack ideas about what creativity really means recalls Art Spiegelman and Lynda Barry-- not to mention, his Harvey Pekar-esque way of just trying to stay alive at the same time."--Back cover.
