    This item is not in stock at MyComicShop. If you use the "Add to want list" tab to add this issue to your want list, we will email you when it becomes available.

    Compiled by Eric Jackson. The absurd art of J.J. Grandville features one of the masters of satirical cartoons and a great inspiration for many artists that followed. Grandville utilized animals to showcase the follies and ludicrous behavior of mankind in social settings. Declared insane at the end of his life, many have said that only an insane mind couldve conceived of such illustrations. Although Grandville has slipped into obscurity for most people, his art is often used today as the basis for clip art files. 32 Pages, B&W. Cover price $2.50.

    Story and art by Jesse Hedman.

    A struggling punk in an absurd world.

    Dumpster Fire is a unique collection of short form comix from the mind of Jesse Hedman, a visual artist from Saint Paul, MN. Much like life, there's no real point to these stories. Instead, you'll find windows through which Jesse tries to make sense of the world around him, often referencing the struggles of being a cartoonist.

    Sure, you'll read some comix about a pot of coffee and a talking joint too, but that's to be expected, right?

    1st printing.

    Art by Alex Gamsu Jenkins, Chau Luong, Craigio Hopson, Dan Woodger, Dave Calver, DERRENGUETA, Duch, Emil Sellström, ESTOCAFICH, Gary Taxali Studio, George(s), Josh Freydkis, Kelly Puissegur, Kyung Me, Lai Tat Tat Wing, Laurina Paperina, Loïc Movellan, Marianne Gretteberg Engedal, Nadine Redlich, Paola Ciarska, Paul Paetzel, Roberts Rurans, Roman Klonek, Roope Eronen, Sarah Haug, Sebastian Schwamm, Soña Lee, Stefhany Y. Lozano, Toby Leigh and Zhang Liang.

    A vivid exploration of peculiar art, Off the Wall is a funhouse tour through the darkly comedic minds of more than twenty-five artists from around the world. From representational to barely recognizable, the illustrations and comics showcased here never fail to evoke the special blend of humor and horror that the subconscious mind finds so irresistible. Talking pets, repurposed pop-culture icons and troubled eroticism are only a few of the odd themes you'll find recurring within this one-of-a-kind collection. Short interviews with the artists allow a peek behind the curtain, and offer insight into the creative processes that lead to such off-kilter, unsettling and strangely compelling art.

    Hardtcover, 7-in. x 9-in., 256 pages, full color. Cover price $34.95.
