Kommentar: Från Marvel så blir Avengers: War Across Time av Paul Levitz och Alan Davis ett måste. Pauls första manus för Marvel någonsin av förklarliga skäl då han jobbat för DC hela sitt liv och det var längesedan Alan tecknade något annat än omslag nu.

Al Ewing följer upp Ant-Man med Wasp vilket också blir ett måste och på albumfronten sätter man nu igång med Aliens Epic Collection med material från starten från Dark Horse Comics.

LUCKY LUKE TP VOL. 82 RIN TIN CAN’S ARK
Manus: Jul
Illustration: Achde
Förlag: Cinebook

Arriving in Cattle Gulch, Lucky Luke runs into an unexpected scene: an apparent crackpot called Ovid Byrde is about to get lynched. The man’s revolutionary opinions-animal welfare and the sanctity of life-aren’t particularly well-received in this town full of ranchers and cowboys! After Luke intervenes, though, the locals simply ignore Byrde… until he suddenly finds gold, and a pack of unscrupulous bandits take advantage of the poor idealist to establish a vegetarian dictatorship!

Kommentar: Jag går vidare med brittiska förlaget Book Palace där vi dels har en anniversary special med det bästa från magasinet Illustrators första 39 nummer, samt #40 som har fokus på undergroundlegendarerna Vaughn Bode och Rick Griffin.

THE CHUCKLING WHATSIT HC
Manus/Illustration: Richard Sala
Förlag: Fantagraphics Books

The 1997 magnum opus of the late Richard Sala, master of graphic noir, has been out of print for years and is now available in hardcover for the very first time.
Sala weaves the gothic cartooning traditions of Edward Gorey and Charles Addams with a melodramatic murder mystery involving astrology, ghouls, academia, and outsider art. Part noir, part horror, and part comedy, this labyrinthine tale of intrigue follows an unemployed writer named Broom who becomes ensnared unwittingly in a complex plot involving mysterious outsider artist Emile Jarnac, the shadowy machinations of the Ghoul Appreciation Society Headquarters (GASH), and the enigmatic Mr. Ixnay. Sala’s deadpan delivery makes this ingeniously layered narrative a roller-coaster ride of darkly pure comic suspense. Sala’s drawing style also reveals the influence of everything from Hollywood monster movies and Dick Tracy to German expressionism and Grimm’s fairy tales. It’s a style that’s perfectly suited to the narrative, constantly flirting with Sala’s fascination for the grotesque and lending palpable tension to the gruesome riddle of The Chuckling Whatsit.

JAMES WARREN: EMPIRE OF MONSTERS TP
Författare: Bill Schelly

The definitive biography of the visionary publisher of Famous Monsters of Filmland, the magazine that inspired filmmakers Steven Spielberg, George Lucas – now available in paperback.
In Empire of Monsters, the award-winning biographer Bill Schelly digs beneath the hype and myth-making to tell the true story of James Warren, one of the 20th century’s most influential and independent publishers. Featuring numerous eye-opening, often outrageous anecdotes about the colorful, larger-than-life figure, this book covers Warren’s childhood in the slums of south Philadelphia, a traumatic military injury during the Korean War, the hardscrabble origins of Warren Publishing, its great success and ignominious end – as well as his reemergence on the public scene in the 1990s, and the lawsuit to regain ownership of his literary properties.
For this impeccably researched biography, Schelly offers insight from new interviews with Warren’s colleagues, editors, and friends, augmented by unpublished interviews gathered in past years with Frank Frazetta, Archie Goodwin, Al Williamson, Bill DuBay, Tom Sutton, Bernie Wrightson, Richard Corben, and Warren himself.

Originally published in 2019, Empire of Monsters quickly sold out. Fantagraphics is pleased to make this groundbreaking biography of one of comics’ central historical figures available again in an affordable paperback edition.

CHILDREN OF PALOMAR & OTHER TALES: A LOVE AND ROCKETS BOOK TP
Manus/Illustration: Gilbert Hernandez

This comics omnibus includes the graphic novels Julio’s Day and The Children of Palomar, as well as never-before-collected work by brothers Mario and Gilbert Hernandez, some of which has never been available since its early 2000s run in comic book single issues.
Children of Palomar and Other Tales(the fifteenth volume in our Complete Love and Rockets Library omnibuses and the eighth Gilbert volume) begins with ”Me for the Unknown,” uncollected since its original 2001-2004 run in Love and Rockets Vol. II comic books. Written by Mario Hernandez and drawn by Gilbert Hernandez, it traces the Rabelaisian journey of Tagg Lillard. A U.S. citizen with a seemingly perfect life working in Latin America, he escapes a death trap clutching important papers, and an imperious CEO and his manservant pursue him through a land plagued by colonialist/corporate greed. Also collected: one of their joints from 2008, ”Chiro el Indio.” In The Children of Palomar suite of short stories (2006-2007; collected in 2013), there are many mysterious visitors, an apparition that haunts childless women, and readers learn how Chelo lost her eye. And in Julio’s Day, which originally ran from 2001-2008 and was collected in 2013, a man’s life-threaded with war, loss, illness, and forbidden love-spans a century.
Children of Palomar and Other Tales: A Love and Rockets Book is part of the Love and Rockets series.

GEORGE HERRIMAN LIBRARY KRAZY & IGNATZ HC 1925-1927
Manus/Illustration: George Herriman

Meticulously and lovingly restored, this exquisite, generously sized volume collects the acclaimed and groundbreaking Krazy Kat Sunday strips of 1925, 1926, and 1927.
This Eisner Award-nominated series showcases one of the most renowned and celebrated comic strips in the art form’s history as it strides boldly through the mid-1920s, its quirky characters in full flower in this gorgeous, archival hardcover collection.
In this volume: Ignatz repeatedly sets elaborate traps for Krazy (long before the Road Runner), adventures on the ”enchanted mesa,” wacky weather, literal cliffhangers – and what happens when Santa and the stork arrive at the same chimney at the same moment? BONUS: The most complete collection of Herriman’s long-lost Book of Magic pages ever assembled.
With incisive essays by Herriman scholars, this entry in our ongoing series makes it plain to Herriman fans and newcomers alike why historians, scholars, and cartoonists consider this to be the best comic strip ever created and why The Comics Journal proclaimed it to be ”the greatest comic strip of the 20th Century.”
Krazy Kat is an ongoing story of a (head-) achingly unrequited love triangle. Krazy adores Ignatz, who returns that affection by launching literal bricks at Krazy’s cranium. Offisa Pup loves Krazy and seeks to protect ”her” (Herriman always maintained that Krazy is genderless) by tossing Ignatz in the pokey. With this deceptively simple structure, Herriman builds entire worlds of meaning into the actions, building thematic depth and sweeping his readers up with the looping verbal and visual rhythms of his characters’ unique dialogue and his loopy, ever-shifting surrealistic backgrounds.

Kommentar: Från Fantagraphics kommer sedan en rad släpp: Richard Salas 90-talsklassiker The Chuckling Whatsit kommer äntligen i nytryck, likaså kommer Bill Schellys biografi över James Warren: Empire of Monsters äntligen i SC, ny samling med Love and Rockets: Children of Palomar and Other Tales och nyutgivningen av inbundna utgåvor av George Herrimans Krazy Kat är nu framme med del fyra som samlar söndagstripparna från åren 1925-1927.

DEGA HC VOL. 1
Manus/Illustration: Dan McDaid
Förlag: Oni Press

A crashed ship, a lone survivor, a monstrous secret hiding in the dark under the world. This is Dega, the new graphic novel from Doctor Who, Judge Dredd, and Firefly artist Dan McDaid.
Written, illustrated, and lettered by McDaid, Dega delivers a stirring, unsettling blend of hardboiled sci-fi action, hypnagogic surrealism, and existential mystery. Hailed as ”electric… A title you have to read cover to cover and back to front” by Richard Starkings (Elephantmen) and ”Beautiful… Valerian meets Ronin” by mindlessones.com. The clues are all there, but hurry–time is running in…

TERRY AND THE PIRATES: THE MASTER COLLECTION VOL. 4 HC
Manus/Illustration: Milton Caniff
Förlag: Clover Press

The saga continues in Terry and the Pirates Volume 4, reproduced from Milton Caniff’s personal set of color syndicate tabloid proofs!

Warlord Klang makes life rough for Terry, Connie, and Burma, but they find an unlikely ally when-for the first and only time-the Dragon Lady and Burma appear in the same story! In one of the strip’s most famous sequences the Dragon Lady changes her scales, seizing Klang’s troops and turning them into a force to fight a hostile invading army. Meanwhile, Hunter Yurk and young Nastalthia (”Nasty”) Smythe-Heatherstone stir up trouble, and a reunion with Pat and Big Stoop isn’t enough to prevent a cat-fight over Nasty’s wealthy papa between Burma and conniving Drusilla Crail. When Burma again takes it on the lam, the boys agree to a dangerous mission in Indo-China for Mr. Smythe-Heatherstone.

This tabloid-sized Volume 4 containing the 1938 dailies and Sundays is an unparalleled upgrade that no Terry fan can afford to pass up.

Från Rebellion/2000AD kommer Alan Moore och Ian Gibsons 80-talsklassiker The Ballad of Halo Jones ut i färglagd version om man inte har den från tidigare utgivning.
