The award-winning memoir translated by Taro Nettleton with a new design by Adrian Tomine In this memoir that won two Eisner Awards, the Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize, a prize at the Festival de la BD d'Angoul?me, legendary manga-ka Yoshihiro Tatsumi uses his lifelong obsession with comics as a framework to tell his life story incisively and unflinchingly. He deftly weaves a complex story that encompasses Japanese culture and history, family dynamics, first love, the intricacies of the manga industry, and most importantly, what it means to be an artist. Alternately humorous, enlightening, and haunting, A Drifting Life is the masterful summation of a fascinating life and a historic career. Over sixty years ago, Yoshihiro Tatsumi expanded the horizons of comics storytelling by using the visual language of manga to tell gritty, dark, literary stories about the private lives of everyday people, a genre he coined ?gekiga.? A Drifting Life is Tatsumi?s most ambitious, personal, and heart-felt work and considered to be one of the defining autobiographical works of the comics medium.

ALL THE CAMERAS IN MY ROOM HC

Razor-sharp short stories from the greatest contemporary comics stylist In All the Cameras in My Room, Michael DeForge's hilarious and horny approach to comics fiction never disappoints. In ?Figure Skating,? a star athlete's impossible feats captivate the world, turning a simple skater's rotation into a catalyst for national paralysis. While in ?Holiday Special,? a narrator tells us about his favorite Christian holiday special that bears an uncanny resemblance to a certain bald-headed-boy-and-his-dog classic. No matter the conceit, characters in All the Cameras in My Room stretch and flatten and spiral around each other and burrow deep into the folds of a reader's brain.

ANIMAN HC

Pet therapist by day, animal-morphing pet detective by night?fear not, Animan?s on the case! A radioactive mosquito bite as a baby gives Francis the superpower of morphing into any animal at will. Learning to keep his powers secret from an early age, Francis takes up pet therapy as his day job, the perfect cover for his secret identity as Animan. Francis uses his fantastical gift to treat his animal patients, go undercover to solve murders, and battle it out with his nemesis, Objecto, a man capable of transforming into any and every possible object. And to top it all off, in his free time Francis is an avid watercolorist, who enjoys drawing landscapes and risqu? portraits of his frog girlfriend, Fabienne. Veteran cartoonist Anouk Ricard delivers a fresh take on the superhero genre, imbued with her signature slapstick sensibility, preposterous scenarios, and off-the-wall punchlines. Translated by Montana Kane.
