A love letter to growing up with comics from one of the art form's great modern masters.In Marble Season, Harvey and Eisner Award winner Gilbert Hernandez revisits the golden age of the American dream and the silver age of comics. Middle child Huey stages backyard Captain America plays and treasures his older brother's comic book collection almost as much as his approval. It's a simpler time: when shooting marbles, trading Mars Attacks cards, and the excitement of the latest comic you could get your hands on reigned supreme. This evocative story of a young family navigating cultural and neighborhood norms in a majority Latino community brings forth a snapshot of mid-century Americana that goes all too often unseen. The joyful, creative play of childhood might gradually bend under the pressure of name-calling naysayers and abusive bullies?but it certainly doesn't break. Drawing from his own upbringing in 1960s suburban California, Hernandez delivers a modern literary classic about the redemptive and timeless power of storytelling and play.

An all-new edition of groundbreaking, flagship D&Q author Julie Doucet's glorious contribution to the graphic memoir canonIn 1991, pioneering cartoonist Julie Doucet packed up her life and moved to New York. Thirty-five years later, the diary she kept lives on as a classic of autobio and literary comics.Doucet takes readers through a chaotic yet deeply relatable time. Trouble crops up at every other turn through a toxic on-again-off-again relationship, her creative insecurities in a male-dominated art scene, her worsening epilepsy, and a tendency to self-medicate with booze and drugs. This unapologetic, no-holds-barred account of an artist's day-to-day in her mid-20s captures the highs and lows of modern womanhood. New York's 90s underground scene comes to life in strikingly detailed panels with messy uptown apartments, crowded punk clubs, and unmanicured, trash-lined city sidewalks in all its dingy glamour. Each and every panel of My New York Diary is jam-packed with the exquisitely blocky flourishes that cemented Doucet's reputation and earned her the Grand Prix d?Angoul?me in 2022.
