Bughouse #7
For Ralph Rojas, be-bop drummer supreme, it's a tale of two “pretties”. Should he stay in Oaktown with the sultry temptress Clarise? Or return to Bugtown and the embrace of longtime squeeze Liz? Ralph, make up your mind already! They're both hotties. Clarise, she's a sly minx, but Liz is tough as nails and she don't give up!
Tranny
Cartoonist Steve Lafler presents Tranny vixen Fiona Mallratte in a hilarious new book, where she emphasizes the "$99 Drag Makeover" and getting dolled up for Halloween. She also asks the eternal question: "Aren't superheroes just a bunch of trannys?!" Fiona appears on the redlafler YouTube channel, which has received over 150,000 video views and counting. Fiona Mallratte considers the transcendent thrill of drag equal, at the very least, to the exotic rush experienced by Spider Man or Batman as they boldly take the city at night.
1956 Movie Star
Fifty-Second Street crackles with electricity as midnight beckons. Limos and cabs drop revelers at jazz hot spots like Birdland and Johnny Ryan's, decked to the nines. Headliners from Sarah Vaughn to the Miles Davis Quintet rewrite the rules of cool nightly in clubs packed to the gills. Downtown bohemians mix easily with African Americans and Latinos, with a smattering of out-of-town business visitors tripping the light fantastic. Midtown Manhattan offers a cultural oasis to the diverse fans of cutting edge jazz. Welcome to an alternate universe mid 20th century where hipster "happy drunks" Susie and Jack find love, trans woman Ramona builds a high-profile career, and even Muggles the drug-dealing pimp can have a heart of gold. This is the jolly conceit of cartoonist Steve Lafler-enjoy it as you lean into that transcendent Coltrane solo over a martini just past midnight in Manhattan, smack in the center of 1956.

Anarchy Comics
Reviving an iconic comic series originally published from 1978 to 1986, this exclusive collection brings together the legendary four issues of Anarchy Comics, the underground comic that melded anarchist politics with a punk sensibility, producing a riveting mix of satire, revolt, and artistic experimentation. The anthology features previously unpublished work by Jay Kinney and Sharon Rudahl, along with a detailed introduction by Kinney that traces the history of the comic he founded and provides entertaining anecdotes about the process of herding an international crowd of anarchistic writers. Reintroducing the long-out-of-print underground comic that inspired its readers and united a subculture, this collection includes all 30 original contributors from across the globe, including Clifford Harper, Donald Rooum, Gary Panter, Melinda Gebbie, and Steve Stiles, among other talented writers and illustrators.
Death in Oaxaca
This surreal adventure from the creator of Dog Boy and Bughouse serves up Lucha Libre wrestlers and an ancient vampire who prefers chicken. Two expats move to remote Oaxaca, the fabled highland city in southern Mexico. Rex, earnest yet duplicitous, flees from mid-life crisis and fear of death. Beautiful Gertie, cynical but honest, is just plain bored and craves adventure.
BugHouse
Tenor saxophone maestro Jimmy Watts leads his talented band of bugs from the swing era into the uncharted maelstrom of Bebop.

Inspired by the postwar explosion of Bohemian cultural styles from artists as diverse as jazz trumpeter Miles Davis and Beat avatar William Burroughs, cartoonist Steve Lafler delivers his indigo-tinged masterwork graphic novel, BugHouse.
