By Frederick Noland. Winner of the Xeric Foundation Grant Award, Shpilkes itself is difficult to describe - a Yiddish name; expressionistic and dark with precious moments of backhanded slapstick humor and a decidedly underground sensibility. Stories include "Stagger Lee," the infamous hard-drinking, hard-gambling, and itchy-trigger-fingered outlaw of lore; "Cracked Actor," the tale of a long since fallen star; "King Curmudgeon," a suburban punk day-in-the-life-of; and the otherworldly "Automaton." Noland's art draws the reader in with its intricate settings; his eccentric and humorous characterization of both the familiar and fantastic makes no apologies and takes no prisoners. But more than that, it's entertaining! Does contain naughty language, senseless violence, sexual indiscretion and existential angst. 32 pages, B&W. Mature Readers. Cover price $3.50.

1st printing. Story and art by Rachel M Thomas. Derided by her high-school peers for being overweight, Rachel finally found a sense of purpose and belonging in a promising career as an EMT-that is, until her body got in the way. Shrink is a work of graphic medicine that depicts the emotional and physical realities of inhabiting a large body in a world that is constantly warning about the medical and social dangers of being "too fat." This smart and candid book challenges the idea that weight loss is the only path for a fat person and encourages the reader to question the prevailing cultural and medical discourse about fat bodies. Thomas lays bare society's obsession with size and advocates for each of us to push back on body weight bias and determine what's right for our own health and well-being, both physical and mental. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 180 pages, full color. Mature Readers Cover price $24.95.
