Tara doesn't know whether she's ready for Libby. She can't even explain who Libby is to her because she doesn't know yet.

Story and art by Molly Mercier.

Long ago in March of 2019, a gothic young woman had an idea. It was, perhaps, a lazy idea, but aren't all the best ones? After all, lazy is just another word for efficient. And thus, a comic idea was born: The Lazy Goth!

The Lazy Goth explores the particular struggles of being an unmotivated goth in a world of motivated people. How To Alienate Friends and Avoid People is a graphic novel that not only depicts the struggles of being a square peg in a round hole, but celebrates it. Be it at home, work, on the internet, in relationships, or in her own feelings of self-worth and identity, The Lazy Goth discovers that no matter what, she is "enough."

1st printing. Story and art by Igort. In 2022, Igort, an acclaimed Italian cartoonist of Russian descent, began taking down the testimonies of Ukrainians during the Russian invasion. He turned them into online comics journalism, collected here for the first time in English." The collapsing bodies look like marionettes. The clouds of dust captured by drones have a surreal beauty. The crumpling buildings look like houses of cards. Even so, it's upsetting, panic-inducing. How can you not think about the human lives, just like your own, buried under that rubble?" In this real-time work of graphic journalism (posted serially on Facebook), the cartoonist Igort uses the medium of comics to depict the telephone testimonies of Ukrainians as Russia invaded in 2022. In vignettes that grow ever more horrifying - infiltrating spies, bombed cities, recorded accounts of children whose parents were murdered in front of their eyes, and more - Igort also relays the events that led up to the invasion, such as the torture and killing of human rights activists. He tells stories of individual struggle and suffering with no resolutions because they are still happening: Of Tetiana, who fled in the middle of the night with her children and whose car broke down on the steppe. And Maksim, who lived in Belgium and went for a five-day family visit and who could not return home when his mother died of COVID due to martial law. In art styles that veer from cartoony simplicity to photorealistic, depending on what the moment demands, Igort paints portraits and scenes of ordinary people trying to survive among almost 10,000 civilian deaths. How War Begins is an important document of the past, the present, and the future. Igort (Igor Tuveri), b. 1958, is a prolific award-winning Italian cartoonist and the founder of Oblomov Press, a comics publisher. He is best known for his graphic novel5 is the Perfect Number, which won the Book of the Year award at the Frankfurt Book Fair. He is also a film director and directed the movie adaptation in 2019. His previous works of graphic journalism include Russian Notebooks and Nomadic Pages. Hardcover, 172 pages, full color. Cover price $29.99.
