Add to cart Fine $8.99

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.

Volume 15 - 1st printing. "Summer 2009!" Since its inception in 2005, Mome has overlapped the contemporary graphic novel scene, the literary world, and the graphic arts community by serving as a McSweeney's of comics for those who want a vibrant, quarterly sampler of the best the medium has to offer. Whether exposing new talent like Eleanor Davis (author of the recent Stinky by Toon Books) or Tom Kaczynski; featuring short stories by contemporary graphic novelists like Dash Shaw (The Bottomless Belly Button) or Paul Hornschemeier (The Three Paradoxes); bringing the work of international superstars like David B. (Epileptic) or Killoffer (676 Apparitions of Killoffer) to American audiences; or introducing the work of legends like Gilbert Shelton (The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers) to a new generation of readers, Mome is the most acclaimed, accessible, frequent, and reasonably priced anthology on the market despite its high production values and mostly color format. Softcover, 120 pages, PC/PB&W. Mature Readers Cover price $14.99.
