1st printing. Story and art by Ben Snakepit. By now you know the drill: Ben White draws his life everyday in 3 comic panels. This was his first book, collecting quite a few various zines. Said Jimmi Payne's Punk Zine, "Taken individually, each strip resembles what a friend would say if you asked what they had done that day. Ben sifts through the minutiae of life as well as the full experience of time in a day. This is different than James Kochalka's work as there is no pretense at narrative or point. The narratives in Snakepit open up on the macro level." Introduction about doing cocaine by Aaron Cometbus. Softcover, 6-in. x 8-in., 288 pages, B&W. Mature Readers Cover price $14.95.

1st printing. Collects Snelson: Comedy Is Dying (2021 Ahoy Comics) #1-5 and material from Hashtag: Danger (2019 Ahoy) #1-5.

Written by Paul Constant. Art and cover by Fred Harper.

In the 1990s, "edgy" standup comic Melville Snelson had it all - but twenty-five years later, his jokes come off as tired and offensive.

Desperate for a comeback, Snelson sets out on tour with a group of young, socially conscious comedians. Can a '90s has-been hit the big time, or is Snelson about to be cancelled for good? A hilarious, definitely adult contemporary satire that mocks the dying breaths of white male entitlement.

Contains all five chapters of Snelson: Comedy Is Dying and the five little-seen episodes that introduced the character in the back pages of Hashtag: Danger.

Volume 1 - 1st printing. "Season 1: Fort Myers!"

Written by James Haick III. Art and cover by Branko Jovanovic.

Solar Flare is a post-apocalyptic science fiction drama containing aspects of the suspense and action genres as told through a journey-story plot construct.

In this tale, where the world is exposed not in the light of day, but in the cover of darkness, Solar Flare aims to showcase themes of perseverance, resilience, and unlikely heroes through the portrayal of believable characters placed in unbelievable circumstances. Solar Flares unique backdrop of the aurora borealis, similar to the Northern Lights, sets the comic apart in the visual effects department as well, unearthing a never-before seen constant sky that is both visually pleasing and completely plausible in our current reality.

1st printing. By Alex M. Wainer. This is a book about the comics genre and language, how these were used to create Batman, and how that character's longevity is largely due to the medium's unique formal qualities. It argues that Batman's core appeal is his mythic nature which allows him to transcend changes in reader tastes, the vicissitudes of the comics industry, and the changing media landscape. It is a study of how the formal aspects of comics are able to evoke uniquely mythic qualities that have made Batman such a long-lived cultural phenomenon. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 208 pages, Text.
