1st printing. Story and art by Chris W. Kim. Herman is a reclusive, straight-laced street cleaner - or so it seems to those he works with on the city's waterfront. But he has an extraordinary hidden talent: the ability to transform his appearance at will. When the cinematic genius MIO calls an open audition for her new movie, Herman joins the audition line. As he waits, swept up in the frenzy of creative ambition that has overcome the city, his past life becomes increasingly remote. Dazzled by Herman's ability to adapt to any role, MIO deems the rest of the cast redundant. When the cult director's new film premieres, with Herman performing every role, it doesn't get the reaction she expects. Spectacularly drawn, Herman by Trade is a captivating graphic novel about art, identity, and making space for self-expression. Hardcover, 120 pages, B&W. Cover price $22.95.

Story and art by Jim Unger.

How does one explain Herman's appeal?

When Herman's date arrives, she announces: "I'm not late. I was giving you waiting training." At the airport he is told: "Your baggage arrived, but your wife went to Tokyo." Even at his own wedding, Herman doesn't get a break - one of the the guests announces: "We bought you two toasters in case things don't work out."

Poor Herman.

Fans can't help but identify with his frustrating experiences - and they can't help but laugh at these caustic twists of life.

1st printing. Written by John Canemaker. Art by Herman Schultheis. A technician at the Disney Studio in the late 1930s, Herman Schultheis kept a covert scrapbook of special effects wizardry, capturing in photographs and text the dazzling, behind-the-scenes ingenuity of early Disney films. Later, when he mysteriously disappeared into a Guatemalan jungle, his notebook was forgotten - and with it, the stories of how these beloved animated classics were made. Part annotated facsimile of the scrapbook itself, part biography of the complicated, overly ambitious man who made it, The Lost Notebook is a goldmine for Disney and animation enthusiasts and a vivid, riveting account of early Hollywood. Hardcover, 12-in. x 12-in., 288 pages, full color. Cover price $75.00.
