The pro comic books issue 1

1st printing. Story and art by James Jarvis. The acclaimed British illustrator James Jarvis unveils his first new narrative in five years. This highly anticipated graphic novel follows a beaked artist who travels through a wilderness to arrive at an abandoned city. Wandering the empty streets there, he encounters a mysterious, priestly being who commissions him to decorate a temple to nameless gods. De Profundis might be considered a departure from Jarvis' previous projects; in this book, he has constructed a purely personal narrative with artwork that combines his interest in medieval woodcuts and Dutch De Stjil. Hardcover, 8-in. x 11-in., 64 pages, full color. Cover price $19.95.

1st printing.

By Jacob Weinstein.

Winner of the Xeric Foundation Grant Award, Dirty Boxes is a graphic novel consisting of three stories: "Refuse" is a post-industrial chutes-and-ladders game as if designed by Alexander Rodchenko; "Cleft Mallet" places Huckleberry Finn before a cracked rear-view mirror; and finally, "Egg-Minus" stirs Russian legend, vaudevillian comic strip mayhem, and grimy Berlin realism into a meaty gallinaceous cocktail as three tangentially related narratives are woven around the motifs of love, betrayal, decapitation and poultry.

Tottering between a belly laugh and pretentious slush, Dirty Boxes is a stylistic slumgullion with a deliciously hollow center.

By Qiana Whitted.

Entertaining Comics Group (EC Comics) is perhaps best-known today for lurid horror comics like Tales from the Crypt, but during its 1950s heyday, EC was also an early innovator in another genre of comics: the so-called "preachies," socially conscious stories that boldly challenged the conservatism and conformity of Eisenhower-era America. EC Comics examines a selection of these works - sensationally-titled comics such as "Hate!," "The Guilty!," and "Judgment Day!" - and explores how they grappled with the civil rights struggle, antisemitism, and other forms of prejudice in America.

Written by Martin Vaughn-James. Art and cover by Martin Vaughn-James and Seth. Introduction by Jeet Heer.

Two surreal graphic novels about technology, corporatization, and alienation in the modern world by a cult-favorite comics innovator.

In 1968, the British artist and writer Martin Vaughn-James emigrated to Canada. Over the next eight years, he proceeded to produce some of the most mesmerizing and inventive works in comics, light-years ahead of his contemporaries. Among them were Elephant and The Projector, linked graphic novels that guide the reader (and a bespectacled Everyman) through landscapes built out of both the everyday and the nightmarish.

Jam-packed superhighways, plummeting horses, vast urban wastelands, colossal businessmen, demented cartoon animals, and interstellar oranges are just a small part of Vaughn-James's prophetic vision of society's turn away from the natural world to the artificial.

Together for the first time in a single volume, designed and edited by Seth and with an introduction by Jeet Heer, Elephant and The Projector stand as a reminder that we have yet to catch up to Vaughn-James.
