Alfonso Casas's MonsterMind is a very personal account of the inner monsters that live inside his head. But who doesn't have a monster inside them? Who has never heard that voice inside their head undermining everything they do? You're not good enough?You just got really lucky?There are people far better and more qualified than you? In a very honest exercise, Alfonso Casas identifies and introduces his own monsters to his readers: Mr. Past Traumas, Mr. Fear, Mr. Social Anxiety, Mr. Impostor Syndrome, Mr. Sadness, Mr. Doubt?the pessimistic, the insecure, the self-demanding, the monster that keeps you from sleeping while you think of what you could have said back in that conversation two years ago, or that keeps you looking over the punctuation of every text message to figure out the tone lurking beneath the surface. All those monsters make up the bestiary of contemporary society. But the anxiety generation is expert in more things: in looking inside themselves and their lives, and--why not?--in laughing at their own neuroses as best they can. In the end, if the monsters won't leave us, we might as well get to know them and laugh at them! Anxiety is another pandemic, but the monsters dwelling inside us are funny, too (especially as drawn by Alfonso Casas). BONUS: Includes a discussion guide to help readers further discuss anxiety and find ways to deal with it.

ABLAZE CREATOR SPOTLIGHT WILFRID LUPANO COLL SET

ABLAZE is spotlighting some of the incredible creatives under our banner with specially priced collections of their extraordinary works! With our WILFRID LUPANO collection, receive three hardcover volumes that speak to the writer's varied range and skill in reflecting both humor and human experience. In THE LIBRARY MULE OF CORDOBA: The Caliphate of Al-Andalus, after a great period of peace and learning, faces a power struggle after the death of the Caliph al-Hakam II. In exchange for the support of radical clergymen, the vizier Amir seeks to burn the books of Cordoba's famed library to ash. The night before the biggest bonfire ever, the head librarian, a chubby eunuch named Tarid, gathers up all the books he can and loads them onto the back of a passing mule. He takes off in the hopes of saving what he can of universal knowledge. In THE OLD GEEZERS (VOL. 1-2): Lupano tells the story of three septuagenarians who have been friends since childhood: Antoine, Emile, and Pierrot. They have each taken different paths in life, made different choices, and started (or not) their own families. The series moves back and forth between the 50s and the present day, telling the tragic-comic tale of our time, with all of its social, political, and cultural upheavals!

ALL THE PEOPLE I HAVE BEEN HC

It's better to laugh in life. And, if possible, to laugh at yourself. In this new graphic novel, cartoonish Alfonso Casas reflects on the various phases of life, portraited through beautiful illustrations created to remind us of the power of our thoughts and the new worlds in which we constantly find ourselves. As in his previous title, Monster Mind, Casas focuses on the premise that all humans live their own lives, within their own minds, which deserve to be treated with grace as our homes among this crazy, big, diverse world.
