1st printing.

Written by Dave Baker. Art and cover by Nicole Goux.

When Brooke, Kelly, Maggie, and Melissa buy a bootleg anime DVD at a gas station, they get much more than they bargained for with Super Love XL, a risqué movie featuring-among other things-a giant mecha who shoots lasers out of her chest.

The four girls are horrified (and maybe a little fascinated). It's so unlike anything they've seen, would probably shock everyone else in their town, and definitely would take over their extremely conservative Christian school. That's when they have the idea to sell copies to local boys... for twenty dollars a pop. But as the market for mildly titillating anime DVDs grows, the girls realize they'll need new material. On top of figuring out how to replicate their first success, there's growing tension within the group.

Will the four girls' shared history be strong enough to see them through this upheaval? Or will they learn that some things can only end in heartbreak?

Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 224 pages, full color.

1st printing. Written by Daniel Marrone. Art and cover by Seth. At once familiar and hard to place, the work of acclaimed Canadian cartoonist Seth evokes a world that no longer exists - and perhaps never existed, except in the panels of long-forgotten comics. Seth's distinctive drawing style strikingly recalls a bygone era of cartooning, an apt vehicle for melancholy, gently ironic narratives that depict the grip of the past on the present. Forging the Past offers a comprehensive account of this work and the complex interventions it makes into the past. Seth's comics are suffused with longing for the past, but on close examination this longing is revealed to be deeply ambivalent, ironic, and self-aware. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 208 pages, Text (with B&W Illustrations). Cover price $60.00.

By Paul Hornschemeier. An abusive cowboy to a literate dinosaur to a heartbroken teenager to a has-been TV character running from cancellation...an endless stream of segues from one seemingly un-segue-able narrative to the next -- this is Forlorn Funnies. Moving from his formal experimentation-laden, sharply-designed and critically-acclaimed series, Sequential, Paul Hornschemeier begins this full-color, quarterly series without reserve: seven distinct and separate narratives flow into and out of one another seamlessly, creating the sensation of an anthology written by Siamese quintuplets! 32 pages, full color. Mature Readers. Cover price $3.95.

By Paul Hornschemeier. A small bodied, large-nosed man drifts through the ether, making mental memos to someone we never see. A lover? A sister? It is impossible to tell if he is dead, or if she is, or both. This dream-like scene begins the challenging and emotional second issue of Forlorn Funnies. The book then segues to the first chapter of "Mother, Come Home," the quiet, subtly surreal story of two men, a father and son, and the desperate fantasy worlds they create in an effort to cope with the death of the family's mother. 32 pages, full color. Mature Readers. Cover price $5.95.

By Paul Hornschemeier. In this second chapter of "Mother, Come Home," a father and son, both trying to cope with the untimely death of the family's mother, are separated when the father is forced into a mental institute by the boys uncle.

His escape brings him, garbed in a lion mask, to the darkest points of his father's asylum. 32 pages, full color. Mature Readers. Cover price $3.95.

By Paul Hornschemeier. In the final chapter of "Mother, Come Home," a boy and his father are reunited after the father's escape from a mental institution.
