NEW STOCK-Comics

Tales Designed To Thrizzle Volume 1. Michael Kupperman.
Probably the funniest comic you will ever read, all five of the soft cover Tales Designed To Thrizzle are together in one glorious hardcover colour volume!
What are tales designed to thrizzle? Tales designed to thrizzle are about evil girls and their owls. They are about Jesus’ half-brother Pagus, the Mysterious Avenger, Dick Crazy, scary snakes, delicious bacon, Private Eye Johnny Silhouette, the Silver Knight, Murder She Didn’t Write, the Mannister, the Space Patrol, portraits where the eyes move, Pablo Picasso, sex blimps (and their logical inverse, sex holes), the hot boy band Boybank, soccer joust, Underpants-On-His-Head Man, Hercules the Public Domain Superhero, Cousin Granpa, Mister Bossman, Mark Twain, the silent robot Citobor and, of course, the Thirties.



The Beats: A Graphic History
The Beats: A Graphic History is everything a radical history should be: critical, admiring, quirky and apologetic. The Beats is largely written by Harvey Pekar and illustrated by Ed Piskor, with a concluding section of more critical, less biographical pieces written and illustrated by a variety of critics and artists, including Nancy J Peters, Tulu Kupferberg, Summer McClinton, Anne Timmons and others.

Meat Cake Dame Darcy.
Dame Darcy’s exceptional comic book series, MEAT CAKE mixes among other things, black and white Victorian art, woodblock etchings, Goth, Charles Addams, and Darcy’s interests in witchcraft and fairy tales. This issue offers the usual sampling of Darcy goodies – a big old bag of diversity that is waiting for people who don’t read comics, but would love this feast of fanciful darkness.

Currently in stock are issues #12, #14 and #16, get in quick!


Also new in stock are some more of Karl Wills' Jessica of the Schoolyard comics, more adventures of everyone's favourite High School bully.
