1st printing. Story and art by Brecht Evens. A new edition of the debut classic by a visionary stylist offered in a deluxe format. Rendered in vivid watercolor where parquet floors and patterned dresses morph together, The Wrong Place revolves around oft-absent Robbie, a charismatic lothario of mysterious celebrity who has the run of a city as chaotic as it is resplendent. Robbie's sexual energy captivates the attention of men and women alike; his literal and figurative brightness is a startling foil to the dreariness of his childhood friend, Francis. With a hand as sensitive as it is exuberant, the first graphic novel by award-winning cartoonist Brecht Evens (The City of Belgium, Panther) captures the strange chemistry of social interaction as easily as he portrays the fragmented nature of identity. The Wrong Place contrasts life as it is, angst-ridden and awkward, with life as it can be: spontaneous, uninhibited, and free. Hardcover, 8 1/2-in. x 9 1/2-in., 184 pages, full color. Cover price $30.00.

1st printing.

Written by Benoit Cohen. Art and cover by Christophe Chaboute.

After twenty years working on film and series shoots, Benoît Cohen is drained. His enthusiasm gone, a desire to stop writing and put down the camera takes over. In the city for a year, he still wonders about how best to absorb the rich diversity of the cosmopolitan metropolis, settling on a simple idea: he will become a taxi driver.

Behind the iconic Yellow Cab, behind the fantasy of freedom and independence, behind the faces of his thousands of passengers, Benoît discovers a world to which he is a stranger. He dives into his new life with the idea of turning it into a screenplay for a future film, but the material he collects from this social experiment marks him deeply, leading down unsuspected paths: First, the administrative maze that leads to the taxi driver's license. Then the world behind the scenes. And finally, the prejudices that surround the profession and lead customers, cops, and the entire city to look at it-quite randomly-either with indifference, kindness, or aggression. The project transforms into an autobiographical novel interspersed with reflections on the creative process, and with the help of Chabouté, it is now a sensitive, deeply human graphic novel with breathtaking illustrations that pay vibrant tribute to New York City.

Story and art by Brother Malcolm.

When Brother Malcolm's older sibling expressed trepidation about becoming a Vlogger, Malcolm advised him to just "go for it, dive right in, and worry about the details later." Realizing he should take his own advice; Malcolm began drawing diary comics.

These were originally self-published as 12-page minicomics, and are now collected in YESTERDAY: Diary Comix. Although much of the work contained within YESTERDAY focuses on Malcolm's personal life, there are frequent detours to explore death row inmates, tarot readings, astrology, dreams, and overheard anecdotes.
