One day, a prank goes seriously wrong, and Josefina gets angry and wishes for Manu's magic to disappear... and it does.

1st printing.

Marvel Comics artist Scott Koblish has been illustrating his own demise for many years in morbidly funny, 4-panel black-and-white comics. He's the one person struck by a comet, suddenly overrun by a pack of baboons, resting under the precarious rock tipped by a single bird, or the target of his daughter's (of course homicidal) teddy bear come to life. Though it's always Scott on the receiving end, the comics perfectly capture that irrational feeling we all have that everything can go very wrong in one irrevocable instant. Slapstick, surreal, and eerily plausible, with extended scenarios and pops of color throughout, this collection of cosmic reckonings shows that, if the end is nigh, at least you'll die laughing.

Hardcover (Horizontal Format), 8-in. x 6-in., 96 pages, PC/PB&W. Cover price $14.95.

1st printing. Collects Maple Terrace (2023 Uncivilized) #1-3. Story and art by Noah Van Sciver. From a multiple-award-winning cartoonist Noah Van Sciver comes MAPLE TERRACE, a new autobiographical graphic novel. Based on the author's childhood, MAPLE TERRACE unfolds a tale of big money comic-collecting craze of the early 90s as seen from the ground floor. In a time when super-heroes were oversized, adorned with massive guns, and countless pouches, comic books were currency! Young investors struggled to collect every cover gimmick under the sun-embossed-metallic ink-holographic foil-hoping they someday would pay for their college education. Brutally hilarious, MAPLE TERRACE shines a light on the strange intersection between poverty and speculative comic book craze of the 90s. Hardcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 120 pages, full color. Cover price $24.95.

1st printing. Collects March GN (2013-2016 IDW/Top Shelf) Vol. 1-3. Written by John Lewis and Andrew Aydin. Art and cover by Nate Powell. Discover the award-winning #1 New York Times bestseller that brings the Civil Rights Movement to life — the stunning graphic memoir of the man called the conscience of America. Congressman John Lewis (GA-5) was an American icon who repeatedly made history as one of the key figures of the Civil Rights Movement. His commitment to justice and nonviolence brought him from an Alabama sharecroppers farm to the halls of Congress, from a segregated schoolroom to the 1963 March on Washington, and from receiving beatings from state troopers to receiving the Medal of Freedom from the first African-American president. To share his remarkable story with new generations, Lewis turned to the graphic novel format, in collaboration with co-writer Andrew Aydin and artist Nate Powell, and inspired by a 1950s comic book that helped prepare his own generation to join the struggle. The resulting trilogy, March, became a groundbreaking and definitive work of graphic memoir — a perennial bestseller, a vital resource in classrooms across America, the recipient of countless honors, and the first comic to win the National Book Award. Today, March continues to animate the lessons of history with vivid life for new generations, powerfully and urgently relevant for our world. It is a vivid first-hand account of John Lewis lifelong struggle for civil and human rights, meditating in the modern age on the distance traveled since the days of Jim Crow and segregation. Rooted in Lewis personal story, it also reflects on the highs and lows of the broader Civil Rights Movement, with a particular focus on young adults. Through an unforgettable literary and artistic narrative, March portrays the surpassing courage, sacrifice, and revolutionary nonviolence that transformed American society in the 1960s, guided by principles and tactics that remain vitally relevant in the present day. This new single-volume edition features a detailed index. Hardcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 588 pages, B&W. Cover price $39.99.

A few of the brave crustaceans in an estuary on the French coastline decide it's time to try and actually turn for once, but what does their evolution revolution mean for the human race?
