1st printing. Stories and Art by Tomer and Asaf Hanuka (with Etgar Keret). Tomer and Asaf Hanuka are twins. They share a similar genetic structure but were raised in different places. This condition creates a special tension between their stories and styles and is the foundation of their award-winning Bipolar series. "Time Strips" examines the different identities we wear as our life evolves and the way these identities interact if they were to exist on one time line. "Pizzeria Kamikaze" is about a guy with a broken heart who committed suicide only to find himself at Pizzeria Kamikaze, a regular day job in a world where everyone died before and now it's about passing time. "I Love You" examines how much of ourselves we project onto others. By using story lines, the myth of relationships is explored under highly opposite environments. 32 pages, B&W. Cover price $2.95.

Volume 1 - 1st printing. Story and art by Jim Campbell. Jim Campbell's Xeric Award-winning Krachmacher contains three stories: "At the Shore" centers around Marianne, a teenager who finds herself involved in a seemingly mundane adventure that grows increasingly more bizarre as she and her friends become integral players in it. This quirky character drama introduces Marianne and her four friends. The other, more subtle, narrative arc of "Unsere Freund" revolves around the surreal flashbacks Marianne suffers through - taking her back to memories of her family and her strange childhood. The flashbacks maintain a level of magic realism; we don't quite know if they're truth or fiction, but it reveals to the reader how desperate Marianne is to be understood by her friends, who, at this stage of the narrative, would rather not get involved. The last story, "Shipwrecked Hopes," is a simple, humorous tale, light tone and is a perfect companion piece for Krachmacher. The book's title, Krachmacher, translates as "noise maker," and while it's not terribly important that this fact be understood by the reader, it does mirror the conflicts that many of the characters Jim Campbell writes about face - overwhelmed with emotion, they make noise, either real or metaphorical, to drown out their problems. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 7 1/2-in., 48 pages, full color. Cover price $6.50.

Bob is an artist with a creative block who loses himself in an aimless existence; while Casey suffers from deep-seated anxiety and feelings of abandonment. Brought together through an unexpected circumstance, they begin to open up and trust each other, gradually finding that their fears of being hurt are overcome by the simple joys that they now share.
As they tentatively try to build a life together, the harsh realities of the outside world begin to intrude on their happiness, but the experience changes them both in fundamental ways.
