Your Tablet Will Thank You
Pamper your tablet with our new digital releases this week, which include fantastic new graphic novels and art collections, as well as backlist breath-takers. Manuele Fior is back with The Interview!

Get Two of the World’s Best Cartoonists on Your Tablets!
Lucky you! We’ve got a brand new graphic novel by Cathy Malkasian and a couple new-to-digital backlist bangers from Roger Langridge this week. Cathy Malkasian has quietly been making one of the most impressive bodies of comic work over the last decade, and Eartha continues this incredible run. For thousands of years, unfinished dreams — sex fantasies, murder plots, wishful thinking — came to Echo Fjord to find sanctuary. But recently, they’ve stopped coming and Eartha is tasked with solving the mystery. Malkasian’s stunning landscapes, depictions of nature, and character nuance are on full display in Eartha, now available through…

Digital Underground
This week we have two new Fantagraphics Underground releases. That means your tablet is about to get strange and stranger. Let’s get to it! At long last, what you’ve been waiting for — a big collection of Gerald Jablonski’s psychedelically underground, absurdly avant-garde comics: Farmer Ned’s Comics Barn. Jablonski has been comics’ best-kept secret for decades, telling the tales of imposter ants, bear-faced grumps, and stoic farmers with pun-laden word balloons that wildly snake around the page. This book also includes a discussion with Gary Groth and it can all be yours through comiXology today. You…
Al Columbia Comes for Your Tablets
Are you ready for even more existential dread? Great! Because today marks the digital debut of an Al Columbia classic, as well as two more back issue books from the Fantagraphics vault. Collecting more than a decade’s worth of art excavations, comic strips, animation stills, and more, this broken jigsaw puzzle of a graphic novel tells the story of two childlike imps. The brilliant backdrops hint at further layers of reality lurking under each gingerbread house and behind every sunny afternoon. Experience the lingering fear of reading Pim & Francie: The Golden Bear Days now digitally through comiXology and Google…

The collection includes all 15 of Elder’s humorous Panic stories (“The Night Before Christmas” got the first issue banned in the entire state of Massachusetts!), all seven of his tales from the pages of Weird Science and Weird Fantasy, and a special horror story that hasn’t been seen since its original publication more than 60 years ago….
First Digital Release of 2017
Welcome back for another year of tablet-tempting digital releases as well as backlist barnburners. This week, we’ve got both! Up first is the second giant collection in the Complete Crepax project: The Time Eaters and Other Stories. Spanning the 1960s–1980s, this science fiction themed volume features Guido Crepax’s adventuress Valentina as well as two more of the famed Italian erotic artist’s heroines. Marianna is a mysterious friend, Belinda is a motorcycle-driving, pop art action star, and in “The Time Eater,” Valentina meets a curious couple in an asylum and is caught in a Rube Goldberg-like death trap. All of this…
