God's creation has entered its second work week, the eighth day. A new entity is forming in the garden, and the Snake, once the garden's manager, is filled with unease. Will this next-gen creature disrupt the established order? It falls upon Eden's first couple to intervene with their Maker before His latest creation makes them redundant. Yet, they must be cautious, for interfering with the creative process is a perilous game. In black and white, Andrew Hartzell interpreted and rendered into modern comics and illuminated manuscript based on the teachings of a phantom 2nd-century heretical sect, the People of the Eight Day. Monday is a provocative metaphysical slapstick suspense comic, a fable for our unstable age.

MAPLE TERRACE HC

From a multiple-award-winning cartoonist, Noah Van Sciver, comes Maple Terrace, a new autobiographical graphic novel. Based on the author's childhood, Maple Terrace unfolds a tale of big money comic-collecting craze of the early 90s as seen from the ground floor. In a time when superheroes were oversized, adorned with massive guns, and countless pouches, comic books were currency! Young investors struggled to collect every cover gimmick under the sun—embossed-metallic ink-holographic foil—hoping they someday would pay for their college education. Brutally hilarious, Maple Terrace shines a light on the strange intersection between poverty and speculative comic book craze of the 90s.

SIX TREASURES OF THE SPIRAL TP COMICS FORMED UNDER PRESSURE

Novelistic worlds in miniature. Hilarious hijinks. The occasional twist ending… The stories in Six Treasures of the Spiral: Comics Formed Under Pressure are inventive and wide-ranging, sometimes funny, occasionally sad, and always offbeat. The New York Times called Matt Madden a stuntman-philosopher because he creates comics in the crucible of formal constraints — one comic is a visual palindrome, another maps on to the letters of the alphabet, several follow the rules of demanding poetic forms like the villanelle and the haiku. It may seem that strict limitation would stymie creativity; on the contrary, the massive pressure it exerts on the author's process bonds atoms of text and image together into comic diamonds that Booklist has called formally rigorous and narratively lucid. Madden is an educator and evangelist for experimental comics. This book contains an extensive afterword that walks through all the game-like rules he used in the stories in this collection. He offers insights into how he turned the shackles of these complex constraints into a source of inspiration and ingenuity. If you want to explore new creative challenges, you'll leave this book eager to work on forging your narrative jewels.
