In 1965, inspired by The Beatles, Lithuanian musician J?rat? Dineikait? founded a rock band called The Bees. This spirited ensemble of six women toured throughout the Soviet Union during the '60s and '70s - turning heads with their blue jeans, mop-tops, and modern rock sound. For these women, taking the stage was at once an electrifying expression of their artistry and an audacious political act. Based on interviews with J?rat? herself, this graphic novel vividly captures episodes of the group's lived experiences - from thrilling performances to chilling encounters with the KGB. An authentic portrayal of a fascinating true history little known outside of Lithuania, The Beesis adapted with vibrant colors and a charmingly handcrafted style by cartoonist Akvil? Magicdust?. This edition also features a photo gallery with period snapshots of the band in action, plus a playlist of their original songs!

BABY BLUE TP

This haunting dystopian thriller graphic novel explores themes of mental health, queer identity, and the dangers of unchecked fascism. In the not-so-distant future, twenty-something Betty lives in a fascistic society that menacingly polices mental health. When she is caught crying in public, the Peacekeepers take her to an Orwellian health facility to control her emotions. There, she meets the defiant Berina, who opens her eyes to an alternative reality: the Resistance. If Betty can navigate a rollicking underworld, where all manner of queerness is celebrated, she just might have a chance to strike back against the regime. Deliciously twisted, fiercely contemporary, and backed by a Swedish pop soundtrack, Baby Blue is the dynamic graphic novel debut of comics artist Bim Eriksson. A vital manifesto about the need to express your unique identity in a chillingly conformist world.

BEAT IT RUFUS HC

From the author of Fante Bukowski and Joseph Smith and the Mormons, a hysterical character comedy about an aging rock-God-in-his-own-mind forced to face the music. Rufus Baxter is an aging, professionally unemployed loser, desperately - delusionally - hanging on to his 1980s hair metal fantasies of headlining arenas, despite so much evidence to the contrary (like audience members ducking when he tosses promo t-shirts at an open-mic night). The rest of his bandmates in Funky Cool died decades ago in a horrible plane crash on the cusp of their first big break. When he gets kicked out of the Denver storage unit he's been illegally sleeping in, his only prospect is a last-second wedding gig the very next day - in Wyoming. A hop in his car, and possibly a peyote button or two, sends Baxter on a psychedelic and existential road trip through his past, and forces him to confront every bad decision he's made along the way. Beat It, Rufus is very much a kindred spirit with Van Sciver's Fante Bukowski series, a comedic character study both played for laughs but also infused with a surprising gravitas that has you rooting for Rufus despite having every reason not to. Van Sciver's comedic and graphic talents are in peak form in this original graphic novel, his follow-up to the award winning and critically acclaimed graphic bio, Joseph Smith and the Mormons.
