    Volume 8 - 1st printing. "1933-1934!"

    Story and art by Frank King. Cover by Chris Ware.

    The Depression grinds into its fourth year. Against this setting, a con artist sets up a storefront in town for Continental Corncob, a fictitious company established to dupe would-be investors. Somehow Walt Wallet and the Gasoline Alley gang are roped into the scheme, with the promise that they could earn steep returns if they purchase shares in the allegedly thriving company. Edited and designed by Chris Ware and featuring an introduction by comics historian Jeet Heer, this volume also includes never-beforeseen photographs and rare archival documents from the private collection of the King family.

    Hardcover (Horizontal Format), 9-in. x 7-in., 352 pages, PC/PB&W.

    Cover price $49.95.

  • Issue #8-1ST
    Moomin The Complete Comic Strip HC (2006-2015 Drawn & Quarterly) 8-1ST

    Volume 8 - 1st printing. "The Complete Lars Jannson: Book 2!" Story and art by Lars Jannson. Lars Jansson returns with the eighth volume of the classic Moomin hardcover comic series, and the whole gang is back in action. Sniff is causing trouble with another of his get-rich-quick schemes, Moominmaiden falls in love with the inspector's bad boy nephew, and Moominmamma is offering up plum cake to whosoever should need it. As always, the experiences of the Moomin family are poignant, melancholy, and strangely wise, with just a dash of drolly funny and a pinch of slapstick. Without a doubt, Lars Jansson's Moomin Volume Eight is a treat for the whole family. Hardcover, 8 1/2-in. x 12-in., 112 pages, B&W. Cover price $19.95.
