Dame Darcy
Published by:
Fantagraphics
Dame Darcy is one of the most beguiling presences on the comics scene -- musician, actress, cable TV star, fortune teller, dollmaker, and last but not least, cartoonist to the core -- and has been bewitching readers for over 15 years with her neo-Victorian horror/humor/romance comic Meat Cake. Alternating between one-off (often cruelly tragic) fairy tales and ongoing romps starring her eclectic cast of characters, including Effluvia the Mermaid, the roguish roue Wax Wolf, Igpay the Pig-Latin pig, Stregapez (a women who speaks by dispensing Pez-like tablets through a bloody hole in her throat), the mischievous Siamese twins Hindrance and Perfidia, Scampi the Selfish Shellfish, the stalwart Friend the Girl, and the blonde bombshell Richard Dirt, all delineated in her inimitable luxurious scrawl, Meat Cake is like a peek into the most creative, deranged dollhouse you ever saw. Meat Cake is an expanded reprint of the out of print hardcover ...

R. Crumb
Published by:
WW Norton & Co
Envisioning the first book of the bible like no one before him, R. Crumb, the legendary illustrator, reveals here the story of Genesis in a profoundly honest and deeply moving way.Originally thinking that we would do a take off of Adam and Eve, Crumb became so fascinated by the Bible's language, "a text so great and so strange that it lends itself readily to graphic depictions," that he decided instead to do a literal interpretation using the text word for word in a version primarily assembled from the translations of Robert Alter and the King James bible. Now, readers of every persuasion--Crumb fans, comic book lovers, and believers--can gain astonishing new insights from these harrowing, tragic, and even juicy stories.Crumb's Book of Genesis reintroduces us to the bountiful tree lined garden of Adam and Eve, the massive ark of Noah with beasts of every kind, the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah destroyed by brimstone and fire that ...

Binky Brown Meets the Holy Virgin Mary

NZ$ 55.00 each
Hardback
Author:
Justin Green
Published by:
McSweeney's Publishing
A lost classic of underground cartooning, "Binky Brown Meets the Holy Virgin Mary" is Justin Green's autobiographical portrayal of his struggle with religion and his own neuroses. Binky Brown is a young Catholic struggling with all the usual problems of adolescence - puberty, agnosticism, and the fear that the strange ray of energy emanating from his private parts will strike a picture of the Holy Virgin Mary. Deeply confessional, with artwork that veers wildly between formalist and hallucinogenic, "Binky Brown Meets the Holy Virgin Mary" is the controversial masterpiece which invented the autobiographical graphic novel.
Review: "The first, absolutely the first ever cartoonist to draw highly personal autobiographical comics." R. Crumb "A revelation... [Justin Green] turned his life into little confession booth panels, and it was almost scary to see how far he'd go." Art Spiegelman
