Story and art by Jesse Hedman.

A struggling punk in an absurd world.

Dumpster Fire is a unique collection of short form comix from the mind of Jesse Hedman, a visual artist from Saint Paul, MN. Much like life, there's no real point to these stories. Instead, you'll find windows through which Jesse tries to make sense of the world around him, often referencing the struggles of being a cartoonist.

Sure, you'll read some comix about a pot of coffee and a talking joint too, but that's to be expected, right?

DC/Vertigo Edition

1st printing.

Story and art by HOWARD CRUSE.

The groundbreaking, award-winning semi autobiographical graphic novel returns in a new 15th anniversary edition featuring an introduction by Alison Bechdel, award-winning author of Fun Home.

In the 1960s American South, a young gas-station attendant named Toland Polk is rejected from the Army draft for admitting "homosexual tendencies," and falls in with a close-knit group of young locals yearning to break from the conformity of their hometown through civil rights activism, folk music and upstart communality of race-mixing, gay-friendly nightclubs.

Toland's story is both deeply personal and epic in scope, as his search for identity plays out against the brutal fight over segregation, an unplanned pregnancy and small-town bigotry, aided by an unforgettable supporting cast.

Hardcover, 6 1/2-in. x 9 1/2-in., 224 pages, B&W. Mature Readers

NOTE: "A remarkable achievement, a story so richly drawn - in both senses of the word - that it will pull you, headlong, into a bottomless world of hopes, fears, dreams and the all-too-real prejudice witnessed by its author." - THE NEW YORK TIMESNOTE:
"Cruse's visceral, visual account of America's recent past contributes with grace and force to what we can only continue to hope is history's bend toward justice." - ALISON BECHDEL, from her introduction

1st printing. Written by Beth Fantaskey. Art and cover by Oneilljones. Is this what middle school is all about? Being stuck in the middle? Twelve-year-old Mia feels like everything and everyone is changing-and she is caught in the middle. Stuck between old friends and new friends . . . between feeling like a kid and growing up . . . Just as her longtime BFF, Addy, is gravitating toward the popular crowd and starting to care more about school dances than tree house playdates, Mia finds out that her favorite science camp friend, Tariq, is moving to town and will be going to school with her. She's super excited and can't wait to show him around and help him make friends. But when Tariq arrives in town, he seems like he's grown up a lot, too. No more braces or glasses. A new haircut. And who knew he was also a soccer star, immediately making the team mid-season?? He's welcomed to Buttonwood Bay Middle School with open arms in a way that Mia can't even recognize, and now she's feeling more lost than ever. But then her science teacher announces the school's science olympics, and she and Tariq are teaming up again to crush the competition-just like at camp. Only this time they're joined by a couple of unconventional teammates in Kinsey (more artist than scientist) and the lovable, if also sometimes kind of gross and goofy, Evan. Do Mia and Tariq still have enough of a spark to build a killer robot (figuratively speaking, of course) and take home the prize? Through much experimentation and a little trial and error, Mia navigates new friendships and old as she tries to find her place in middle school-and on the winner's podium.
