Volume 5 - 1st printing. Tim Hensley (Weird Tales of the Ramones) returns for the first time since the third volume with the first-installment of his first book-length story, titled "Gropius," which tells the story of teen millionaire Wally Gropius who will be disinherited unless he marries the saddest girl on earth; Martin Cendreda develops a mostly wordless, surreal adventure starring three peculiar musicians, and what happens when they get together to make music; and Kurt Wolfgang delivers "Nothing Eve," a story about the day before the end of the world. With yet more self-contained stories between the pages, this issue also features an interview with Anrice Arp, conducted by Gary Groth, and new work by Anders Nilsen (in full-color), Jeffrey Brown (Clumsy), Gabrielle Bell (Scheherazade), Jonathan Bennett (Esoteric Tales), and Sophie Crumb (Belly Button Comix)! Softcover, 7-in. x 9-in., 120 pages, B&W. Mature Readers Cover price $14.95.

Volume 10 - 1st printing. "Winter/Spring 2008!" Critically acclaimed for its compilation of dynamic young cartoonists, this volume features the 20 page conclusion to the Jim Woodring graphic novella, "The Lute String." Previously published only in Japan, this story features Woodring's signature characters - Frank, Pupshaw, and Pushpaw - in a universe-bending saga that finds the trio in a very unexpected world of flying, shrieking demons and bulbous-faced monsters. Also features the work of Tom Kaczynski, Robert Goodin, Dash Shaw, Ray Fenwick, John Hankiewicz, Sophie Crumb, Tim Hensley, and Jonathan Bennett. Softcover, 7-in. x 9-in., 120 pages, B&W.

Volume 11 - 1st printing. MOME bridges the gap between the contemporary graphic novel and the cutting-edge literary scene, serving as the perfect sampler of today's best young graphic novelists in a quarterly format that sits as comfortably beside McSweeney's and The Paris Review as it does in the graphics novel section. The acclaimed series welcomes Killofer, the acclaimed French cartoonist whose work has previously been seen only in the collection, 176 Apparitions of Killofer. MOME also features regulars Jonathan Bennett, Sophie Crumb, Andrice Arp, Paul Hornschemeier, Kurt Wolfgang, Eleanor Davis, and more. The fabulous Dash Shaw and the inimitable Nate Neal also join in on the fun. Softcover, 7-in. x 9-in., 120 pages, PC/PB&W. Mature Readers Cover price $14.95.
