Izumi wants to recover not only Arcana's stolen relics, but all of the relics Kamuhaburi has collected as well. But there's more he's not telling them, and even more their Kamuhaburi guide, Kanade, is holding back. With no one they can trust, the squabbling spies must work together to complete their mission or be trapped inside forever! Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 240 pages, B&W. Cover price $11.99.

1st printing. Collects Blubber (2015 Fantagraphics) #1-5.

Story and art by Gilbert Hernandez.

Collecting the first five issues of Gilbert Hernandez's comic book series Blubber, an absurdly X-rated showcase for the most surreally transgressive of Hernandez's short stories. Weirdos (Blubberoo, Mr. Elvis, John Dick, the Mentor), creatures (the Mau Guag, Doogs, and Orlats...), and anthropomorphs (the Cloarks, the Kekeppy) visit places where most comics fear to go.

Blubber veers between an absurdist satire of porn (and occasionally nature documentaries) as well as a defiant provocation to those unable to appreciate the difference between cartooning and obscenity. As R. Crumb said, "It's only lines on paper, folks!" It is also a howlingly funny book, filled with a rogues gallery of colorful comic book monsters (the Pollum, the Junipero Molestat, the mythical Forest Nimmy) and characters (T.A.C. Man, Mr. Hippy, Padre Puto, the Snowman, Baron Mungo, Red Tempest) that echoes the sheer visual imagination of Jack Kirby.
