From Gosh!: "Love and Rockets is a part of Gosh!’s D.N.A. The monumental series by Los Bros Hernandez has been running for forty years, only three years longer than we've been selling it! This is why we are excited to announce a signing with Gilbert Hernandez on Thursday 1st June 2023, from 6-7pm. A Hernandez brother reaching these shores is not a regular occurrence so don't miss out on this opportunity to meet one of the greatest cartoonists of our generation. Gilbert is the creator of the fictional rural Latin American town of Palomar, where modern technology and rampant consumerism...

Catch Chris Wisnia signing copies of his new book, Doris Danger: Giant Monsters Amok, at Bizarro World! About the book: Written and drawn as dead-on homages to the styles of Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, and Dick Ayers, these 20 stories recount Doris's encounters with such monsters as "Ner-Nee-Nah," "Spwum," "Ho-Chee-Cha," "X, Son of XI," and many more. But this is parody on a meta-level, as "editor" Rob Oder takes you behind the scenes and reveals the secrets behind these comics — the chaos, the "faster-faster/cheaper-cheaper" mentality, the never-ending deadlines, the despicable treatment of writers and artists, the contempt for fans,...

"This graphic novel tells a gripping story from the inside perspective of a teenage girl who has both the good and bad luck of resembling an erotic male fantasy. Great read." — Ulli Lust (Today is the Last Day of the Rest of Your Life) "Dear Mini marks the arrival of a major new talent. Through some type of miraculous cartooning alchemy, Natalie Norris has transformed a brutal adolescent trauma into an effervescent and irresistible graphic memoir. I can't recommend this book enough." — James Sturm (Off Season) Don't miss the book launch for this incredible debut, a bittersweet coming...

Natalie Norris is going to Symposium Books! She'll be discussing her debut, Dear Mini: A Graphic Memoir, Book One, with Ariel Bordeaux (Clutter: A Scatterbrained Sexual Assault Memoir) on June 29th at 6:00 pm! About Dear Mini: This debut graphic memoir (the first of two books, with Book Two coming in 2025), is a bittersweet coming of age story that chronicles the author’s teenage experiences with sexual assault, PTSD, and resiliency. Dear Mini is not a cautionary tale, however, it is a vivid (at turns hilariously and uncomfortably so) depiction of adolescent agency in the face of trauma, tracing Norris’s journey...
