Story and art by Brenna Thummler. Introduction by Dana Simpson.

For Marjorie Glatt, being thirteen years old isn't quite the same as it is for everyone else. Responsible for running her family's laundromat while trying to survive middle school, Marjorie's daily struggles include persnickety customers, snippy classmates, agonizing swim lessons, and laundry...always always laundry. Wendell is a bit different, too. Wendell is a ghost. His daily struggles include Dead Youth support groups and unavoidable stains. But when he escapes from the Land of Ghosts and bumbles into Marjorie's laundromat - the perfect ghost playground - his attempts at fun and friendship begin to harm the family business.

Sheet is a powerful story about a young girl's perseverance, even when all the odds are stacked against her. It shows that forgiveness and second chances can result in unlikely friendships.

Hardcover, 6 1/2-in. x 8 1/2-in., 288 pages, full color.

1st printing. Story and art by Ron Rege. Shell Collection is a compendium of comics and drawings from the first 75 issues of Ron Regé, Jr.'s minicomics series, The Shell of the Self of the Senses. In 2016, Regé began this monthly, subscription only series, with circa 100 copies or so published from month to month, in an effort to return to his 1990s self-publishing roots. This is the first time any of this work has been collected, with newly added color - Shell Collection brilliantly showcases Regé's poetic voice, his deeply humane worldview, and his sui generis visual vocabulary, all of which has made him one of the most distinctive stylists in comics. Softcover, 9-in. x 11-in., 176 pages, PC/PB&W. Cover price $34.99.

Story and art by Jonathan Dyck.

Through a series of vignettes, Shelterbelts explores the perspectives, experiences and limitations of a wide range of characters who find themselves increasingly at odds with their surroundings.

When a non-denominational megachurch opens on the edges of a rural Mennonite community, a quiet-but longstanding-battle begins to reveal itself. For years, the traditionalists in the community have held fast to the values and beliefs they grew up with, while other community members have begun raising important questions about LGBTQ+ inclusion, Indigenous land rights, and the Mennonite legacy of pacifism.

Artist Jonathan Dyck depicts a close-knit community in the midst of defining its future as it reckons with its past.

But whenever she shoplifts a magazine from the corner store near her apartment, she feels a little more alive. Yet Corinna knows there must be something more to life, and she faces the same question as does everyone of her generation: how to find it? Hardcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 96 pages, PC/PB&W.
