SHE EATS AT NIGHT

NIGHT EATERS PX SC ED VOL 01 SHE EATS AT NIGHT

3 Eisner Award Winner for Best Graphic Album - New - and for Painter/Multimedia Artist (Interior art). Chinese American twins, Milly and Billy, are having a tough time. On top of the multiple failures in their personal and professional lives, they're struggling to keep their restaurant afloat. Luckily their parents, Ipo and Keon, are in town for their annual visit. Having immigrated from Hong Kong before the twins were born, Ipo and Keon have supported their children through thick and thin and are ready to lend a hand-but they're starting to wonder, has their support made Milly and Billy incapable of standing on their own? When Ipo forces them to help her clean up the house next door-a hellish and run-down ruin that was the scene of a grisly murder-the twins are in for a nasty surprise. A night of terror, gore, and supernatural mayhem reveals that there is much more to Ipo and her children than meets the eye.

THREE ROCKS STORY OF ERNIE BUSHMILLER MAN WHO CREATED NANCY

From Bill Griffith, creator of Zippy the Pinhead, comes Three Rocks, a biography of cartoonist Ernie Bushmiller, creator of the iconic comic strip Nancy. But this graphic novel is about more than a single comic book artist. It is the story of this American art form, tracing its inception in 1895 with The Yellow Kid, the creation of Nancy in 1933, and all the strips that followed, including Peanuts and The Far Side. When Bushmiller died in 1982, Nancy was running in almost 900 daily newspapers-a number few syndicated cartoonists ever achieve. The title Three Rocks refers to the trope of three hemispherical rocks often seen in a Bushmiller landscape-just enough to communicate environment to the reader. This distillation is exemplary of the iconic, diagrammatic look of Nancy, a comic strip about the nature of what it means to be a comic strip-the perfect avatar for Griffith to expand upon his philosophy of creating comics.
