SUMMARY:San Francisco\, CA: Antoine Maillard (Slash Them All) in conversation with Harry Nordlinger (Vacuum Decay) at Silver Sprocket
DESCRIPTION:Don’t miss Antoine Maillard (Slash Them All) in conversation with Harry Nordlinger (Vacuum Decay)–they’ll be talking horror\, comics\, and art at Silver Sprocket! Afterwards there will be a book signing and reception. Don’t forget your mask! \nAbout Slash Them All: Two high school students are found dead\, stoking fears amongst the student body and surrounding community of a serial killer on the loose. Yet summer is approaching\, and the future is fraught with uncertainty—if only things could go back to normal for just a while longer. Instead\, the heightened police presence prevents Pola from dealing at school while her best friend\, the typically discreet Daniel\, resists increasingly morbid impulses. News crews speculate about the Bloody Batter\, triggering PTSD and fueling paranoia. Meanwhile\, evil has its own plans. \nSlash Them All is cartoonist Antoine Maillard’s tribute to 1980s American horror cinema\, skillfully absorbing the traditions and tropes of the genre\, yet drawn in a gorgeous\, grayscale pencil style that evokes 1950s film noir more than Jason or Freddy Kreuger. This singular work of graphic fiction is a story about adolescents thrust unexpectedly\, unwillingly\, and unpreparedly into adulthood\, told with a graphic acuity and emotional depth that transcends its simple slasher inspirations. The 2022 winner for Best Crime Graphic Novel at the Angouleme International Comics Festival.

SUMMARY:Virtual: Tim Hensley (Detention #2) in conversation with Kayla E. (Precious Rubbish)\, hosted by Floating World Comics
DESCRIPTION:Don’t miss the virtual book launch for Detention #2 by Tim Hensley! He’ll be joined in conversation by Kayla E. (Precious Rubbish) and hosted by Floating World Comics–tune in to the Fantagraphics Facebook page on November 2nd at 3:00 PM PST/6:00 PM EST to watch the livestream! \nAbout the book: Brilliant cartoonist Tim Hensley (Wally Gropius) returns with his first new comic book since the acclaimed “Sir Alfred No. 3” in 2015! This is a gorgeous\, oversized one-shot comic magazine (there is no Detention #1 — it’s a joke\, folks!) strictly limited to 2000 copies and available only through the direct market! Hensley “adapts” in his own absurdist fashion an acknowledged classic of American literature\, “Maggie: A Girl of the Streets” by Stephen Crane into a 44-page\, oversized\, full-color comic book titled “Detention #2.” Crane’s 1893 novella tells the story of Maggie\, a Bowery waif on the cusp of maturity who becomes tragically embroiled with a barkeep named Pete. Hensley satirically frames his version of this brutal tale of slum life as a study aide à la Classics Illustrated\, created for those being punished by remedial instruction. \nOrder your copy from Floating World Comics and get a signed bookplate (while supplies last)!

SUMMARY:New York\, NY: Thomas Woodruff (Francis Rothbart! The Tale of a Fastidious Feral) Book Signing and Launch Party at Vito Schnabel Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Vito Schnabel Gallery and Fantagraphics will host a book signing and launch party for Francis Rothbart! The Tale of a Fastidious Feral on Friday\, October 28 from 6-8pm! Books (including a deluxe edition with an original print by Thomas Woodruff) will be available for sale on a first come\, first serve basis. For the event and the following day\, October 29th\, over 300 drawings and paintings from the project will be on view in the gallery. \nAbout the book: Francis Rothbart! follows a feral child who is raised by magpies and other creatures and is repeatedly struck by lightning. Because of the phenomena\, the child develops eccentric talents\, which he then abuses\, leading to his ultimate destruction by the same natural world that once nurtured him. Written mostly in rhymed verse and lushly drawn and painted\, each scene in Francis’s picaresque saga is a verbal and visual feast that transport the reader to a mythical pastoral world. Thomas Woodruff’s imagery recalls the fictive gardens of a paradise lost that echoes somewhere deep in all our souls. Woodruff’s debut book is a “graphic opera” unlike anything ever created\, a tour de force of words and images in harmony that will be one of the most talked-about books of the decade. \nAbout the author: In his long\, varied\, and eccentric career Thomas Woodruff has had many solo exhibitions of his paintings; created hundreds of illustrations for books\, periodicals\, and television; designed for the opera; curated gallery exhibitions. Woodruff is Chair Emeritus of the Illustration and Cartooning Departments at the School of Visual Arts\, where he held the post for 20 years. Francis Rothbart! is his first work of comic art.

SUMMARY:Manchester Center\, VT: Liniers (Macanudo: Welcome to Elsewhere) Book Signing at Northshire Bookstore
DESCRIPTION:Don’t miss Liniers (Macanudo: Welcome to Elsewhere) at the Northshire Bookstore in Vermont! \nAbout the book: In the spirit of Calvin & Hobbes\, Mutts\, and Krazy Kat\, Liniers (Ricardo Siri) uses a shifting cast of children\, talking animals\, imaginary monsters\, sensitive robots\, occasional elves\, and anthropomorphized objects to perform gags\, philosophize\, muse on nature\, and engage in surreal\, artistic flights of fancy. With delicate\, calligraphic pen work and understated watercolors\, the comic skips lightly from style to style and subject to subject\, as Liniers allows his imagination and observational humor free reign. Jokes about domestic life\, imagined scenarios of historical figures\, Cthulu showing up to Tinder dates\, characters simply enjoying a pastoral sunset\, the puncturing of pop-culture stalwarts: Macanudo is a boundless canvas for its author’s humane and delightfully off-kilter view of the world\, in a way few comic strips have ever even attempted. \nBeginning in 2002 in Buenos Aires\, Macanudo steadily gained popularity around the world\, appearing in US newspapers since 2018. Welcome to Elsewhere is the first of a series of volumes collecting Liniers’ groundbreaking strip.

SUMMARY:Brooklyn\, NY: Megan Kelso (Who Will Make the Pancakes: Five Stories) in conversation with Austin English (The Comics Journal) at Unnameable Books
DESCRIPTION:The New York Comics Symposium Presents: Megan Kelso (Who Will Make the Pancakes: Five Stories) and Austin English (The Comics Journal) at Unnameable Books! \nAbout the book: Who Will Make the Pancakes collects five deeply social stories by the acclaimed cartoonist Megan Kelso\, exploring the connective tissue that binds us together despite our individual\, interior experience. These stories\, created over the past 15 years — roughly contemporaneously with the author’s own journey as a mother— wrestle with the concept of motherhood and the way the experience informs and impacts concepts of identity\, racism\, class\, love\, and even abuse. The book opens with “Watergate Sue\,” originally serialized in The New York Times Magazine over six months in 2007. Spanning two generations of mothers/daughters\, Eve’s obsession with Richard Nixon’s Watergate scandal throughout 1973 heightens her self-doubt about whether she wants to raise more children (resonantly mirroring the anxiety many of us had while doom scrolling our way through the Trump administration). Some 30 years later\, her daughter\, Sue\, is now grown and beginning her own family and attempting to reconcile her mother’s experience with her own. \n“Cats in Service” is a contemporary fable about how a death in the family leads a young couple to adopt several cats who have been expertly trained to tend to their every need. “The Egg Room” profiles middle-aged Florence\, caught between dreams of how her life might have unfolded and the shrunken reality. “The Golden Lasso” turns the focus to adolescence\, using rock climbing as a set piece for a story about innocence lost\, while “Korin Voss” chronicles a few months in the life of a single mother in the late 1940s. \nTaken collectively\, Who Will Make the Pancakes showcases Kelso’s unique voice in graphic fiction (one more in tune with writers such as Alice Munro\, Sarah Waters\, or Ann Patchett than most graphic novelists) and a stylistic command that tailors her approachable and warm cartooning style for each story’s needs. \n

SUMMARY:Princeton\, NJ: Steve Brodner (Living and Dying in America: A Daily Chronicle 2020-2022) Book Signing at the Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice
DESCRIPTION:Don’t miss Steve Brodner in conversation with BRCSJ Chief Activist Robt Seda-Schreiber at the Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice! They’ll be discussing community building\, art\, and Steve’s new book\, Living and Dying in America: A Daily Chronicle 2020-2022. \nAbout the book: Every day\, late at night or early in the morning\, from March 26\, 2020 to January 1\, 2022\, the political cartoonist and illustrator Steve Brodner would get to work. In those midnight hours\, he would review the day’s reportage\, sit down at his drawing board\, and memorialize a singular person or event that played a role\, willingly or unwillingly\, in shaping that day. \nLiving & Dying in America includes many lovingly drawn portraits of those who died in the pandemic and of those who displayed extraordinary strength\, decency\, courage\, and endurance. But Brodner does not ignore those who perpetuated the pandemic in word or deed: he also etches in acid caricature those public servants and private entrepreneurs who preyed upon the public\, spread lies\, and aided the virus’ spread through their ignorance\, incompetence\, and malfeasance. Released via Brodner’s daily column in The Nation\, the drawings range from quick\, expertly realized sketches to elaborate paintings to carefully rendered mixed media\, depending on how much time and stamina and inspiration he had left at the end of the day. Each spontaneously drawn or painted image is accompanied by a brief biography of those who died\, or a short summary of the person’s conduct or the event depicted. \nTaken as a whole\, Living & Dying in America is a chronicle of those who died and those who honorably served the living — as well as an indictment of those institutions and political figures who betrayed the public trust. It is a searing and essential moral document\, written and drawn on a daily basis with feverish intensity by one of the great forces of American cartooning.

SUMMARY:Vashon\, WA: Jim Woodring (One Beautiful Spring Day) Art Exhibition + Artist Talk\, Vashon Center for the Arts
DESCRIPTION:The gorgeous Vashon Center for the Arts is hosting an exhibition featuring Jim Woodring’s amazing art! They’ll also be hosting an Artist Talk with Jim–ticketing and other details are as follows: \nExhibition: Friday\, October 7: Show opens\, Meet the Artist reception 5-8pm\nSunday\, October 30: Exhibition closes. Gallery hours\, Wed – Sunday 12-5pm\nFree to the public. \nThis exhibition is a rare opportunity to see a cross-medium collection of Jim Woodring’s work\, including original Frank ink pen drawings\, Jim’s fantasy oil paintings\, his large 6′ ink pen drawings\, prints\, books\, and gift figures made from his FRANK characters. \nJim Woodring is an American cartoonist\, fine artist\, writer and toy designer. He is best known for the dream-based comics he published in his magazine Jim\, and as the creator of the anthropomorphic  cartoon character Frank\, who has appeared in a number of short comics and graphic novels. \nSince he was a child\, Woodring has experienced hallucinatory “apparitions”\, which have inspired much of his surreal work. He keeps an “autojournal” of his dreams\, some of which have formed the basis of some of his comics. His most famous creation is fictional—the pantomime comics set in the universe he calls the Unifactor\, predominately featuring Frank. He also does a large amount of surrealist painting\, and has been the writer on a number of comics from licensed franchises. \nWoodring has won or been nominated for a number of awards. He placed twice on The Comics Journal‘s list of the 100 best comics of the century\, with the Frank stories ranked #55\, and The Book of Jim ranked #71. \nArtist Talk with Jim Woodring:  “One Beautiful Spring Day”\nSunday\, October 16: 2:00pm\, followed by a book signing in the lobby.\nGeneral admission $20\, VCA members & Senior (65+) $18\, Youth (18-) free. Get your tickets here (link). \nJoin Jim Woodring for his otherworldly presentation that starts with personal anecdotes\, continues with a brief survey of his work\, and lands on the content of his newly released book\, “One Beautiful Spring Day” to showcase its inner workings and hidden aspects. His new book is described by his publisher\, Fantagraphics\, as “A mesmerizing\, mind-bending\, wordless 400-page comics odyssey by a contemporary master of the form.” Ken Johnson of the New Times writes\, “Mr. Woodring [has] extraordinary gifts as a draftsman\, storyteller and creator of hilarious characters and hallucinatory situations…” Jim Woodring has been chronicling the adventures of his cartoon Everyman\, Frank\, for almost 30 years. These stories are a singular rarity in the comics form — both bone-chillingly physical in their depictions of Frank’s travails and profoundly metaphysical at the same time. The talk will be followed by a book-signing with Woodring in the lobby.

SUMMARY:Hanover\, NH: Liniers (Macanudo: Welcome to Elsewhere) Book Signing at Still North Books & Bar
DESCRIPTION:Don’t miss a book signing with Liniers (Ricardo Siri) for his new collection\, Macanudo: Welcome to Elsewhere! He’ll be at Still North Books & Bar on September 29th at 7:00 pm. \n  \nAbout the book: \nIn the spirit of Calvin & Hobbes\, Mutts\, and Krazy Kat\, Liniers (Ricardo Siri) uses a shifting cast of children\, talking animals\, imaginary monsters\, sensitive robots\, occasional elves\, and anthropomorphized objects to perform gags\, philosophize\, muse on nature\, and engage in surreal\, artistic flights of fancy. With delicate\, calligraphic pen work and understated watercolors\, the comic skips lightly from style to style and subject to subject\, as Liniers allows his imagination and observational humor free reign. Jokes about domestic life\, imagined scenarios of historical figures\, Cthulu showing up to Tinder dates\, characters simply enjoying a pastoral sunset\, the puncturing of pop-culture stalwarts: Macanudo is a boundless canvas for its author’s humane and delightfully off-kilter view of the world\, in a way few comic strips have ever even attempted. \nBeginning in 2002 in Buenos Aires\, Macanudo steadily gained popularity around the world\, appearing in US newspapers since 2018. Welcome to Elsewhere is the first of a series of volumes collecting Liniers’ groundbreaking strip.

SUMMARY:New York\, NY: Johnny Ryan (Barely Human) Book Signing at Forbidden Planet
DESCRIPTION:Hey NYC\, head to Forbidden Planet for Johnny Ryan’s book signing–he’ll also have original art for sale! \nAbout Barely Human: \nThe cartoons that keep getting Johnny Ryan banned from Instagram\, collected for the first time as one big ol’ exquisitely gross picture book! \nJohnny Ryan’s compulsion to flout any and all accepted standards of decency in his humor and cartoons have not only garnered him a tremendous following — Instagram has banned him multiple times with hundreds of posts scrubbed from those accounts. (He can be found\, currently\, at @johnnyryanjohnnyryan1). Guess what? We’ve got ’em! Over 500 of the grossest\, crudest\, most surrealistic\, scatological\, and of course hilarious cartoons you’ll ever see\, presented with loving care in this gorgeous\, oversized collection with fine art paper. They may not meet with your approval\, but you will laugh. Crafted throughout the pandemic and posted daily\, these cartoons helped keep both the author and hundreds of thousands of others sane during the past two years. From conventional gag cartoons to pieces decidedly unconventional and almost Dadaist in their humor\, these are some of the most visually imaginative — and comedically brilliant — single-panel cartoons ever conceived\, whether in the service of boner jokes or sheer visual absurdism.

SUMMARY:Los Angeles\, CA: Jordan Crane (Keeping Two) Book Signing at Skylight Books Arts Annex
DESCRIPTION:Jordan Crane will be signing copies of his bestselling new book (twenty years in the making!)\, Keeping Two\, at the Skylight Books Arts Annex–don’t miss it! \nAbout the book: \nA young couple is stuck in traffic\, reading a book aloud to each other to pass the time. The relationship is already strained\, but between the encroaching road rage\, and a novel that hits way too close to home\, tensions are running especially high by the time they arrive back at their apartment. When one of them leaves to get takeout and a movie\, each of the young lovers is individually forced to confront loss\, grief\, fear\, and insecurities in unexpected and shocking ways. \nCrane’s formal use of the comics medium — threading several timelines and the interior and exterior lives of its protagonists together to create an increasing\, almost Hitchcockian sense of dread and paranoia — is masterful. But as the title hints\, there are dualities at its core that make it one of the most exciting works of graphic literary fiction in recent memory\, a brilliant adult drama that showcases a deep empathy and compassion for its characters as well as a visually arresting showcase of Crane’s considerable talents. Keeping Two is ostensibly a story about loss\, but by the end\, it just might also be about finding something along the way — something that had seemed irredeemable up to that point. In that way\, it’s also a deeply romantic book. \nCartoonist Jordan Crane has been one of the most quietly influential comics-makers of the past quarter-century – in multiple senses of the word: as a cartoonist\, a designer\, an editor\, a publisher\, a printmaker\, an advocate\, an archivist\, and more. But Keeping Two is his biggest project in close to two decades and will be one of the most anticipated graphic novels of 2022.

SUMMARY:Seattle\, WA: Jim Woodring (One Beautiful Spring Day) Art Show and Book Signing at Fantagraphics Bookstore and Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Fantagraphics Bookstore and Gallery on Saturday\, August 13th for an Art Show and Book Signing to celebrate the release of Jim Woodring’s brilliant new book\, One Beautiful Spring Day! \nAbout the book: \nJim Woodring has been chronicling the adventures of his cartoon Everyman\, Frank\, for almost 30 years. These stories are a singular rarity in the comics form — both bone-chillingly physical in their depictions of Frank’s travails and profoundly metaphysical at the same time. Not since George Herriman’s Krazy Kat has the comics language been so exquisitely distilled into pure\, revelatory aesthetic expression. \nDesigned as a luxe paperback with vellum jacket\, One Beautiful Spring Day combines three previously published volumes —Congress of the Animals\, where Frank embarked upon a life-changing voyage of discovery\, Fran\, where he learned\, then forgot\, that things are not always what they seem\, and Poochytown in which Frank demonstrated his dizzying capacity for both nobility and ignominy — along with 100 dazzling new pages conceived and drawn by the author. The result is a seamless\, 400 page graphic narrative that forges a new and even more poignantly realized single story that takes readers deep into the hidden meanings of the previous stories and offers the most full\, complete\, astonishing exposition of Frank and his supercharged world to date. \nFrank’s curiosity and risk-taking mixed with a dose of\, let’s face it\, wanton recklessness\, takes him on a series of terrifying peregrinations that often leave his soul and body shattered\, and the reader in a state of creative exaltation. Suffice to say that if you are a friend to Frank you will find One Beautiful Spring Day to be a thousand-course feast of agonizing bliss\, soul-stirring mystery and luminous depth. This is undoubtedly one of the great novels of the 21st century\, graphic or otherwise.

SUMMARY:Virtual: Mikael Ross (Golden Boy: Beethoven's Youth) in conversation with Nika Knight and Eric Reynolds
DESCRIPTION:Join Goethe Pop Up Seattle\, Elliott Bay Book Company\, and Fantagraphics for a virtual book talk in celebration of the launch of the English edition of Golden Boy: Beethoven’s Youth. Comic artist & author Mikael Ross will discuss the book and his process with translator Nika Knight. Fantagraphics’ own Eric Reynolds will moderate the talk. \nThe book talk will take place online on Saturday\, June 11th at 11:00 AM PT. Please register to receive Zoom access info. \nWant a copy of the book? Order now from Elliott Bay Book Company! \n  \nAbout the book: \nLudwig van Beethoven created music that moves and inspires us to this day; his very name sparks a melody in the ear. But are you born a genius? This graphic biography asks: “Who was Beethoven before he became ‘Beethoven?'” \nMaster cartoonist Mikael Ross tells the story of Beethoven from 1778 to his first major public appearance in Vienna in 1795. It begins when the family is living a difficult life in Bonn. Father Johann battles with alcoholism and is deep in debt. Only young Ludwig and his talent at the piano offer any hope for the future — if only he would stop composing his own pieces and just play what’s expected of him. \nAuthor Ross was asked to do a small comic for the Berlin State Library. Through this opportunity\, he encountered the diaries of the baker’s son that lived downstairs from Beethoven’s family\, the content of which inspired Golden Boy. As in his previous book\, The Thud\, Ross skillfully mixes humor with empathy and pure social drama\, crafting a coming-of-age story that transcends its biographical subject matter. His colorful\, expressive style and mastery of the language of comics are perfectly suited to the tall task of capturing Beethoven’s timeless music visually. \n  \nAbout the speakers: \nMikael Ross (born in Munich in 1984) initially trained as a theater cutter at the Bavarian State Opera. A move to Berlin and studies at the Berlin-Weißensee Art Academy influenced his first longer story\, Herrengedeck\, which he self-published in 2008. Together with the Belgian scriptwriter and illustrator Nicolas Wouters\, he wrote and drew the graphic novel Les pieds dans le béton (2013). His graphic novel The Thud (2018) received the Max & Moritz Prize for “Best German-language Comic” in 2020. Goldjunge\, published in 2020\, also received the Max & Moritz Prize; Fantagraphics will release the English translation in May 2022. \nNika Knight is a writer and translator of German literature. She has an MFA in literary translation and nonfiction writing from Columbia University\, New York\, and has translated graphic novels by Mikael Ross\, Ulli Lust\, and Katja Klengel\, as well as a novel by Svenja Leiber. She lives in Maine with her husband and two children. \n  \nAbout the moderator: \nEric Reynolds is the vice president and associate publisher of Seattle’s Fantagraphics Books. As a cartoonist\, critic\, and editor\, his writing and drawing has appeared in The Stranger\, The New York Times\, Juxtapoz\, and other publications. He has edited hundreds of books for Fantagraphics\, by authors such as Daniel Clowes\, Ellen Forney\, Joe Sacco\, Robert Crumb\, Emil Ferris\, Robert Pollard\, Peter Bagge\, Jack Black\, Crockett Johnson\, Walt Kelly\, and many others. His acquisitions for Fantagraphics have appeared on New York Times bestseller lists\, earned multiple Harvey\, Eisner\, and Ignatz comics awards\, Society of Illustrators medals\, the Lynd Ward Graphic Novel Prize\, and the Los Angeles Times book prize. Others\, like I Am Not Okay With This and The End of the Fucking World\, have been adapted into hit television series. In 2000\, he was immortalized as a character on The Simpsons.

DESCRIPTION:*Please note: This event will take place live on Crowdcast. RSVP here to join the livestream or watch the replay. \nPreorders will include an exclusive bookplate signed by Benjamin Marra\, David Birke and Nicholas McCarthy while supplies last! Order yours here! \nAbout the book: \nMarin County\, 1978. In this graphic novel\, teens Clara and Wendy get high one night alone at home. Before the night ends\, they’ve disappeared — until five months later\, when Clara is found\, disheveled\, but alive\, in Death Valley National Park. \nFrom Clara’s mysterious reappearance in Death Valley\, Disciples cuts to the present day\, where stories of “The California Cult” and its enigmatic — and never-caught — leader\, Billy Joe\, are as much a part of the popular culture as the Manson Family. Clara\, the lone survivor of the cult\, has adopted a new identity to protect her and her daughter\, Wren. And she mostly does\, until one night when the past and present horrifically collide. \nDisciples is a seamless collaboration between cartoonist Ben Marra and filmmakers David Birke and Nicholas McCarthy. Birke and McCarthy’s script celebrates and reinvents a cult film ethos. It combines the best of 1970s era eerie-thriller-terror movies in a fresh and revelatory way\, similar to how Marra has continued/reinvented the work of Abel Ferrara and George Cosmatos in graphic novels like Night Business. \nBenjamin Marra is the author of several acclaimed graphic novels from Fantagraphics\, including Terror Assaulter (O.M.W.O.T.)\, Night Business\, and American Blood. He received a B.F.A. in Illustration from Syracuse University; studied in Florence\, Italy; and earned his M.F.A. degree in Illustration from the School of Visual Arts. He lives in Montreal. \nDavid Birke is a screenwriter known for the films Elle (2016)\, Slender Man (2018)\, and 13 Sins (2014). He lives in Tarzana with his wife and two daughters. \nNicholas McCarthy is a writer and director\, known for The Pact (2012)\, At the Devil’s Door (2014) and The Prodigy (2019).

SUMMARY:San Francisco\, CA: Conor Stechschulte (Ultrasound) Book Signing at Mission: Comics and Art
DESCRIPTION:Hey\, San Francisco! Join us at Mission: Comics and Art to celebrate the release of Ultrasound by Conor Stechschulte! \nAbout the book: \nIn this graphic novel\, which has been adapted into a feature film starring Vincent Kartheiser (Mad Men)\, Glen and Cyndi become unwitting test subjects in a mind-control experiment after a strange sexual encounter. They search for answers as their own memories become tools for manipulation. \nDriving home from a wedding late one night during a heavy storm\, out of cell range\, Glen blows out his tires. He knocks on the door of the only house he sees and is greeted by an uncomfortably friendly middle-aged man\, Arthur\, and his attractive younger wife\, Cyndi. The strange couple pours him a drink\, and then more drinks\, followed by odd confessions and an unexpected offer that Glen can’t refuse. Where Ultrasound zigs and zags from there is into a dizzying plot involving mind control\, government secrets\, gaslighting\, and political intrigue that is always one step ahead of the reader. Stechschulte’s brilliant use of color and mastery of comics storytelling yields a breathtaking puzzlebox of a sci fi thriller — the moment you finish\, you will want to go back and reread Ultrasound from the start. \nUltrasound has also been adapted into an acclaimed feature film directed by Robert Schroeder and starring Vincent Kartheiser (Mad Men)\, from a screenplay by Stechschulte. The film earned raves at the 2021 Tribeca Film Fest and was released in theaters in March 2022 and will premiere streaming on Hulu in June. \n

SUMMARY:Minneapolis\, MN: Tom Kaczynski (Beta Testing the Ongoing Apocalypse) Book Signing at Moon Palace Books
DESCRIPTION:Please join Moon Palace Books to celebrate the release of Tom Kaczynski’s new book\, Beta Testing the Ongoing Apocalypse! Customers will be asked to wear masks in the store\, in the line\, and when they approach the signing table\, and to maintain social distance while in line. \nIn this new\, expanded edition\, the starting point is arbitrary. From there\, the city expands in all directions. At once SF\, a contemporary demonology\, an occult theory\, a mutant utopia and an architectural treatise\, Beta Testing the Ongoing Apocalypse is a collection of graphic fictions about the contemporary global megalopolis. \nThis groundbreaking collection\, originally published in an Eisner-nominated\, smaller edition a decade ago\, has only proven more prescient and resonant to our contemporary times than ever. For this new edition\, Kaczynski created the original stories “Billion Dollar Budget” and “Rediscovery of the Real” and annotations. There’s also a new foreword by science fiction writer Christopher Brown (Tropic of Kansas) and an entirely new cover design. Tom Kaczynski’s graphic short stories trace a complex space-time trajectory from the smallest corporate cubicle out to farthest fathoms of the multiverse. Occult economics\, metaphysical traffic jams\, Marxist zombies on Mars\, secret architectural societies\, designer ghosts from the future\, and demographics demons are just a few elements of a new untested future eschatology.

SUMMARY:Philadelphia\, PA: Kate Schneider (Headland) Book Launch at Partners and Son
DESCRIPTION:Please join Partners and Son to celebrate the release of Kate Schneider’s new book\, Headland! Customers will be asked to wear masks in the store\, in the line\, and when they approach the signing table\, and to maintain social distance while in line. \nIn Headland\, artist Kate Schneider pays tribute to her departed grandmother\, presenting with deeply felt empathy a perspective little represented in popular literature. Drawn with soft pencils and lush colors\, this graphic novel explores the tensions between safety and autonomy\, language and silence\, holding on and letting go. \n“It can be so difficult\, so terrifying\, really\, to witness and wonder about and honor someone’s fundamental solitude. To regard our solitudes as wonders. Kate Schneider’s Headland is precisely that — a lyric wonder about a beloved’s deepest solitude — that feels as loving\, as beloving\, as true\, as almost anything I’ve ever read. This is a beautiful book.” — Ross Gay (The Book of Delights)
