New Love comic books issue 1

Volume 1 - 1st printing. By The Brothers Hernandez. Love & Rockets: New Stories #1 reboots the beloved ongoing Love & Rockets comic into a fat, annual graphic novel-length package! Jaime launches the new format with a story that's unusual even for him - a full-on, pulse-pounding super-hero yarn! Maggie's longtime friend Penny Century has finally realized her longtime dream of acquiring super-powers, but at a terrible personal cost. Now she rampages through the galaxy, half mad with grief, and a motley group of super-heroes assembles to try to stop her - led by Maggie's girlfriend Angel and her mysterious neighbor Alarma, and involving a number of characters longtime Love and Rockets fans will delight in recognizing. The epic-length 50-page story (only the first half of the saga!) combines Jaime's razor sharp characterization and superlative art with wildly inventive, Kirby-style slam-bang super-hero action. Then Gilbert Hernandez explodes with a similarly generous helping of his fantastically creative one-shot short stories: "Tamanny" (rookie cop vs. demonic drug users); "Papa" (a turn-of-the-century story involving a traveling businessman); "The New Adventures of Duke and Sammy" (super-powered Martin and Lewis impostors in outer space); "The Tender Room" (Into the Wild as re-imagined by Beto); "Chiro el Indio" (written by third brother Mario Hernandez); and "Never Say Never" (a kangaroo gets lucky in Las Vegas). One hundred pages of Jaime, Gilbert and Mario Hernandez at the peak of their powers! Softcover, 104 pages, B&W. Mature Readers Cover price $14.99.

1st printing. Story and art by Yvan Alagbe. Colonial history haunts this stunning, spectral-looking graphic novel, a spiritual sequel to the author's Yellow Negroes and Other Imaginary Creatures. Yvan Alagbé continues his interrogation of race and family in modern France. The book focuses on the dream-like memories of a woman named Clare, who is spending time with her family for her grandfather's funeral. Alagbé shifts between narratives of the family, all haunted by the legacy of France's colonial subjugation of Africa. Alagbé works in stormy grayscale washes, using comics, as he puts it, as "a sacred dimension which celebrates, questions and perpetuates life.... I believe that life is not damnation but grace."

1st printing. Written by Julian Voloj. Art and cover by Andreas Gefe. Is this a dream or reality? He can feel her presence. He knows she's there... But she isn't. She takes him on a trip around New York. In all the places he wouldn't go before. Before the accident. From Coney Island to the Lower East Side, he's turning the pages of his life with the one he loved. The one he lost. NOT A NEW YORK LOVE STORY is a tale of emotions, grief and a love letter to a city like no other in the world. Dream or reality? Julian Voloj's tale plays tricks on your mind and your emotions but never loses his way through a powerful but simple story about two people forever intwined. Andreas Gefe's art brings a mix of fine art and raw expressiveness with a muted color palette that puts New York at the center of the story. NOT A NEW YORK LOVE STORY is not a romantic comedy. It's a drama, a tale of two lost souls with "the Big Apple" as its witness. The kind of story you'll need to read twice to peel its many. Softcover, 120 pages, full color. Cover price $17.99.

Art and cover by Ogden Whitney. Introduction by Liana Finck.

Ogden Whitney was one of the unsung masters of American comics. Best remembered for co-creating the satirical superhero Herbie Popnecker, Whitney's romance comics of the late 1950s and 1960s may be even more unique. In Whitney's hands, the standard formula of meet-cute, minor complications, and final blissful kiss becomes something very different: an unsettling vision of midcentury American romance as a devastating power struggle, a form of intimate psychological warfare dressed up in pearls and flannel suits. From suburban lawns and offices to rocket labs and factories, his men and women scheme and clash, dominate and escape.
