2nd Edition - 1st printing. Written by Samuel R. Delany. Art and Cover by Mia Wolff. Foreword by Junot Diaz. Introduction by Alan Moore. Written by black, gay science-fiction writer, professor, and theorist Samuel R. Delany, and drawn by multi-media artist and cartoonist Mia Wolff, Bread & Wine is a graphic autobiography that flashes back to the unlikely story of how Delany befriended Dennis, and how they became an enduring couple—Delany, a professor at Philadelphias Temple University, Dennis, an intelligent man living on the streets. For casual readers and fans, Bread & Wine is a moving, sexually charged love story, with visuals informed by Wolffs sensitive portrayal of the couples physicality. Her black-and-white, pen-and-ink work not only expressionistically represents the characters body language and the bustling New York setting but is also filled with impish art references and visual puns. The scholarly potential for the book, based on the poem Bread and Wine by the German lyric poet Friedrich Holderlin, not only encompasses queer, African American, and graphic novel studies, but also exploration in the literary and paraliterary academic fields.This updated edition includes a new foreword by the novelist Junot Diaz, the earlier editions introduction by Alan Moore, commentary by the books protagonists, Delany and Dennis, and a new interview with Delany and Wolff. Hardcover, 8-in. x 10-in., 72 pages, B&W. Mature Readers Cover price $19.99.

By Art Spiegelman.

Now in paperback from the creator of Maus, a completely original autobiography, the story of his life as a comix artist.

Breakdowns is the chronicle of Spiegelman's story, featuring vignettes of the people, events, and comics that shaped him. It is told in three ways-in 20 pages of comix that give us the story of his rebellious adolescence, a section on the work he did in the 1970s as an underground comix artist (this book brings back into circulation-and restores-the work of his first book, Breakdowns, out of print for 30 years), and an 8-page essay in which Art looks at the role of comics in the 1970s and how, in ways he didn't understand until much later, it was already coalescing into a medium whose resurgence now is evident everywhere.

Story and art by Katriona Chapman.

A loner and an introvert, Chris has worked in Breakwater Picture House for many years. It's the kind of job that people drift through; friendships flourish for a time, contained within their allotted hours and place...and then fade when people move on.

But when Dan joins, Chris finds someone who breaks out of these designated boundaries and gradually becomes a part of her life. Initially the relationship helps her out of a rut and she finds her world starting to open up. But as she learns more about her new friend, she must decide if the solitary life she's built is the one she's actually most suited to after all.
