Volume 1 - 1st printing. Story and art by Ben Dewey. Benjamin Dewey's popular online comic is finally compiled in one collection for your melancholy-tinged enjoyment! The Tragedy Series is comprised of more than 500 sepia-toned vignettes that present those less than rosy paths available to us all. From such heartrending examples of schadenfreude as "triceratops never got to see the ocean" and "taxidermist and necromancer make bad roommates" to the necessary morale-boost of 26 "sadness reprieves," all of life's peaks and valleys are accounted for. One part Victoriana, one part theatre of the absurd, and the rest full of heart, these illustrations delight the mind and the eye. Hardcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 288 pages, PC. Cover price $17.99.

Can your characters survive long enough to turn the tide...or escape? Hardcover, 8 1/2-in. x 11-in., 130 pages, Text (with B&W Illustrations) Cover price $24.99.
