1st printing. Story and art by Justin Gradin. Ponce Melee is a lonely clock-puncher working for Twin Labs in the cloning dept. When he uses a strand of hair to clone a companion; its successful, but she immediately leaves him for greener pastures. So, he clones another potential companion. And that one leaves. And again. And again. Soon, multiple clones begin causing confusion and havoc around town. Meanwhile, one of the errant clones makes a pact with the devil that goes awry and strands Satan in town, forcing him to get a job. Justin Gradins sophomore graphic novel (after 2023s Mystic Debris) combines keen verbal and visual wit with a host of memorable characters — Mandrake the Soda Jerk, private investigator Butterfly Latté, pop superstar Attilla the Hunny, and many more—to create an anarchic, absurdist comedy about lonely souls and the lonely soulless. Pure comics, Gradins work has echoes of Gary Panter, Gary Leib, Marc Bell, and Mark Beyer (and even some other cartoonists who may or may not be named Gary or Mark) while remaining a singular, sui generis voice in contemporary comics. Softcover, 8 1/2-in. x 10-in., 180 pages, B&W. Mature Readers Cover price $29.99.

1st printing. Story and art by Kayla E. A landmark graphic novel debut and groundbreaking work of trauma recollection told in the style of post-war children's comics. "If an exorcism can ever be slow and quiet, then every panel I've finished has felt something like an exorcism. The gutters give me space to make sense of things: to connect dots and close gaps. To remember." Kayla E.'s Precious Rubbish is an experimental graphic memoir drawn in a style that references the aesthetics of mid-century children's comics and tells the story of a childhood shaped by maternal emotional dysregulation, rural poverty, and incest. The author's childhood is portrayed as a collection of short-form comics and gag panels punctuated by interactive elements like paper dolls, satirical advertisements, games, and puzzles. While the work is concerned with violence and a particularly Texan brand of Pentecostal fanaticism, it is presented in a playful visual language with a deadpan humor that elevates the material beyond mere graphic memoir. Precious Rubbish is a landmark work of comics storytelling and graphic medicine. The debut graphic novel from artist Kayla E., Precious Rubbish asks the reader to do the extratextual work of filling out narrative gaps, which mirrors the challenge of trauma recollection. The reader is invited to co-labor in the meaning-making process, an exercise that facilitates an intimacy (between the author, the subject, and the reader) that is at once horrifying and hilarious. Hardcover, 196 pages, full color. Cover price $29.99.

The reader is invited to co-labor in the meaning-making process, an exercise that facilitates an intimacy (between the author, the subject, and the reader) that is at once horrifying and hilarious. Hardcover, 196 pages, full color. Cover price $29.99.

2nd and later printings. Edited by John Benson. Art by Jack Davis, Bill Elder, Norman Mauer, Carl Hubbell, William Overgard, Dick Ayers, Jack Kirby, Joe Simon, Al Hartley, Bill Everett, Dan DeCarlo, Ross Andru, Mike Esposito, Hy Fleishman, Iger Studio, Howard Nostrand, and Jay Disbrow. Cover by Howard Nostrand. Back Cover by Norman Mauer. Introduction by Jay Lynch. When Mad became a surprise hit as a comic book in 1953 (after the early issues lost money) other comics publishers were quick to jump onto the bandwagon, eventually bringing out a dozen imitations with titles like FLIP, WHACK, NUTS, CRAZY, WILD, RIOT, EH, UNSANE, BUGHOUSE, and GET LOST. The Sincerest Form of Parody collects the best and the funniest material from these comics, including parodies of movies (20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, From Here To Eternity), TV shows (Whats My Line, The Late Show), comic strips (Little Orphan Annie, Rex Morgan), novels (I, the Jury), plays (Come Back, Little Sheba), advertisements (Rheingold Beer, Charles Atlas), classic literature (The Lady or the Tiger), and history (Pancho Villa). Some didnt even try for parody, but instead published odd, goofy, off-the-wall stories.These earnest copiers of Mad realized that Will Elders cluttered chicken fat art was a good part of Mads success, and these pages are densely packed with all sorts of outlandish and bizarre gags that make for hours of amusing reading. The parody comics are uniquely 50s, catching the popular culture zeitgeist through a dual lens: not only reflecting fifties culture through parody but also being themselves typical examples of that culture (in a way that Harvey Kurtzmans Mad was not).This unprecedented volume collects over 30 of the best of these crazy, undisciplined stories, all reprinted from the original comics in full color. Editor John Benson (who wrote the annotations for the first completeMadreprints, and interviewed Mad editor Harvey Kurtzman in depth several times over the years) also provides expert, profusely illustrated commentary and background, including comparisons of how different companies parodied the same subject. Artists represented include Jack Davis, Will Elder, Norman Maurer, Carl Hubbell, William Overgard, Jack Kirby, Dick Ayers, Bill Everett, Al Hartley, Ross Andru and Mike Esposito, Hy Fleischman, Jay Disbrow, Howard Nostrand, and Bob Powell.Casual comics readers are probably familiar with the later satirical magazines that continued to be published in the 60s and 70s, such as Cracked and Sick, but the comics collected in this volume were imitations of the Mad comic book, not the magazine, and virtually unknown among all but the most die-hard collectors. Softcover, 208 pages, full color. Cover price $30.00.

1st printing. Story and art by Justin Gradin. Ponce Melee is a lonely clock-puncher working for Twin Labs in the cloning dept. When he uses a strand of hair to clone a companion; its successful, but she immediately leaves him for greener pastures. So, he clones another potential companion. And that one leaves. And again. And again. Soon, multiple clones begin causing confusion and havoc around town. Meanwhile, one of the errant clones makes a pact with the devil that goes awry and strands Satan in town, forcing him to get a job. Justin Gradins sophomore graphic novel (after 2023s Mystic Debris) combines keen verbal and visual wit with a host of memorable characters — Mandrake the Soda Jerk, private investigator Butterfly Latté, pop superstar Attilla the Hunny, and many more—to create an anarchic, absurdist comedy about lonely souls and the lonely soulless. Pure comics, Gradins work has echoes of Gary Panter, Gary Leib, Marc Bell, and Mark Beyer (and even some other cartoonists who may or may not be named Gary or Mark) while remaining a singular, sui generis voice in contemporary comics. Softcover, 8 1/2-in. x 10-in., 180 pages, B&W. Mature Readers Cover price $29.99.

1st printing. Story and art by Kago. Translated by Zack Davisson. In 2018, manga artist Shintaro Kago made his English debut with Dementia 21, a collection of absurdist manga short stories. Readers found themselves delighted and disgusted by his penchant for body horror, black comedy and the surreal paired with his emphatic, kinetic art style. Kago returns at the height of his powers with Brain Damage, where he dials up the gore and absurdity to new heights. BRAIN DAMAGE collects four new short manga stories, a tantalizing blend of the hilarious and the macabre. In Labyrinth Quartet, four identical young women trapped in an eerie building must solve the mystery of why they've been gathered there — while being hunted by a knife-wielding stalker. In Curse Room, a plucky health aide is tasked with keeping zombies peaceful, lest they go on a brain-eating rampage. In Family Portrait, people throughout town are strangely disappearing without a trace, and the key to it all is a senile and perverted old man. Finally, in Blood Harvest a series of gruesomely mangled bodies are found in pristine cars — and it appears something sinister lurks within these masses of glass and steel. Hardcover, 7-in.x 10-in., 200 pages, B&W. Mature Readers Cover price $29.99.

1st printing. Written by Jarrett Dapier. Art and cover by AJ Dungo. In this empowering graphic novel based on a true story, a group of high schoolers in Chicago work to overturn the system-wide ban of Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis. It starts as an update at one Chicago high school: copies of a certain book are no longer allowed in the classrooms or the library. But its not just one high school—its all Chicago public schools. Not even the principals know why this is happening; they just know they must comply with the order. One thing is clear: The book, which tells a story of oppression, survival, and resistance against authoritarian power, is seen as a threat, dangerous enough to ban. One other thing is clear: Some of the students arent going to let this go without resistance of their own. As the extent of the ban becomes known, the students rise up. They organize a school-wide walkout and library sit-in. They publicize the banning in every forum they can: social media, the press, classes, clubs, the school paper. And most of all, they get everyone they know to read the book: Persepolis, by Marjane Satrapi. Told from multiple perspectives, based on extensive interviews with the real-life students and teachers who were affected, and written by the librarian who exposed key information about the Chicago Public Schools censorship decision, Wake Now in the Fire is a fictionalized account of a true event that galvanized a community. With illustrations by Alex Award-winner AJ Dungo that perfectly capture the everyday joys, heartbreak, and stresses of high school, this graphic novel is an inspiring portrayal of student activism taking on one of the most urgent issues of our time, and a passionate reminder of why protecting the books we love matters. Hardcover, 6 1/2-in. x 8 1/2-in., 464 pages, PC. Grades 9-12 Cover price $38.00.
