Longing for escape, she fixates on a handsome new neighbor, her fascination spiraling into obsession: She secretly rummages through his mailbox, collects his discarded cigarette butts and teabags, and hoards his trash. But when she discovers something unsavory about the object of her desire, will she be forced to confront the morals of her own behavior? Softcover, 6-in.x 8-in., 400 pages, B&W.

The book is presented as a series of short autobiographical vignettes that take place after the childhood death of his younger brother, Nicolas, who passed away in 1990.

1sr printing. Story and art by Nathan Gelgud. Your favorite gang of militant movie lovers are back for an all-new season of hijinks and takeovers from their small town single screen cinema. The Reel Politik guerillas discuss how to be an effective revolutionary while fighting the all-consuming evils of corporate Hollywood. Meditate! Fight your inner urge to binge watch! Engage in a cinema fast to truly appreciate the oeuvre of an auteur! Realism is bourgeois! In an attempt to thwart a Hollywood studio from coopting the story of the Weather Underground, the gang then pursues its own cinematic celebration of their hero Bernardine Dohrn. There are no good or bad movies, only correct or false ones. Along the way the gang gets sidetracked to start the MLIB, the Marxist Leninist International Baseball league. With his trademark slapstick zingers, Gelgud lovingly skewers leftist radical politics while simultaneously illustrating how late stage capitalism has made ethical decision making fraught with compromise. At once a celebration of what makes Hollywood and independent local cinema great and a call to arms to protect it. Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 172 pages, full color. Mature Readers Cover price $20.00.

Even more fascinating than his obsession with the magazine is Brown's need to keep this habit secret, and the great lengths to which he goes to avoid detection by, at first, his family, and then, later, by girlfriends.

1st printing. Story and art by Tara Booth. Known for her buzzing colors, delightful patterns, sharp humor, and unflinching vulnerability, Tara Booth does not miss any mark in this exquisitely woven collection of pure and nasty magic. Part advice column and exhibit, exploration of psychic pollution and tranquility, Processing is-quite simply-intrepid: in its honesty; its unapologetic grossness; its unrivaled and frank portrayal of life with a body that bleeds. In the grand tradition of underground women cartoonists like Julie Doucet and Aline Kominsky-Crumb, Booth draws a horned up woman laying rose petals on the bed, to distract from the bedbugs before her hookup arrives. She bears witness to the reality of wearing a t-shirt with no bra-when you stretch, your boobs, sometimes, pop right out. This is all just life but we don't often see it on the page. Undaunted, Booth draws it. With color that vibrates and fluids that impose, Processing lays Booth bare-literally and figuratively. Softcover, 6 1/2-in.x 9-in., 408 pages, full color.

Throughout this dystopic graphic novel, Brian Chippendale uses humor and a frantic drawing style to show how the insidious nature of corporate greed and the commodification of everything have warped society into a killing machine.

Story and art by Kevin Huizenga.

In The River at Night, Kevin Huizenga, author of the acclaimed series Ganges, delves deep into consciousness. What begins as a simple, distracted conversation between husband and wife becomes an exploration of being and the passage of time. It flashes back, first to satirize the dot-com boom of the late 1990s and then to examine the camaraderie of playing first-person shooter video games with work colleagues, to ponder what the passage of time feels like to geologists or productivity gurus.

The River at Night is a modern formalist masterpiece as empathetic, inventive, and funny as anything ever written.

Story and art by Baru.

Road to America collects for the first time in complete form one of the best and most underrated comic "novellas" of the 1990's.

Originally serialized in three separate issues of Drawn and Quarterly, the story is set in Algeria in the late 1950's and early 1960's, during that country's long and bloody struggle to free itself from French colonial rule. Cartoonist Baru brilliantly documents an impoverished boxer's rise to fame amidst the chaos surrounding him and his family, from the slums of his hometown in Algeria to the bright lights of Paris.
