Paying for It was the most talked-about and controversial graphic novel of 2011, a critical success so innovative and complex that it received two rave reviews in The New York Times. Chester Brown's eloquent, spare artwork stands out in this new paperback edition, tied to the release of the film adaptation co-written and directed by Sook-Yin Lee, Brownâs longtime friend and the director of Year of the Carnivore and Octavio is Dead! Paying for It offers an entirely unvarnished exploration of sex work through Brownâs own life story, showing him as a timid john who rides his bike to his escorts, wonders how to tip so as not to offend, and reads Dan Savage for advice. The book demystifies an experience that is so often sensationalized, revealing a world of online reviews, seem- ingly willing participants, and clean apartments devoid of clichÃ©d street corners, drugs, or pimps. In it, Brown combines the personal and sexual aspects of his autobiographical work (I Never Liked You, The Playboy) with the polemical drive of Louis Riel, as he explores one of the most hotly debated issues in the world and advocates for the importance of legalizing sex work. Now with an introduction by Lee, expanded notes discussing the film adaptation, movie stills and behind the scenes shots, as well as a new cover by Brown and artwork that he created for the production, Paying for It: The Film Edition is an unmissable edition for fans of Brown and film-making alike.

ALL THE CAMERAS IN MY ROOM HC

Razor-sharp short stories from the greatest contemporary comics stylist In All the Cameras in My Room, Michael DeForge's hilarious and horny approach to comics fiction never disappoints. In ?Figure Skating,? a star athlete's impossible feats captivate the world, turning a simple skater's rotation into a catalyst for national paralysis. While in ?Holiday Special,? a narrator tells us about his favorite Christian holiday special that bears an uncanny resemblance to a certain bald-headed-boy-and-his-dog classic. No matter the conceit, characters in All the Cameras in My Room stretch and flatten and spiral around each other and burrow deep into the folds of a reader's brain.

ANIMAN HC

Pet therapist by day, animal-morphing pet detective by night?fear not, Animan?s on the case! A radioactive mosquito bite as a baby gives Francis the superpower of morphing into any animal at will. Learning to keep his powers secret from an early age, Francis takes up pet therapy as his day job, the perfect cover for his secret identity as Animan. Francis uses his fantastical gift to treat his animal patients, go undercover to solve murders, and battle it out with his nemesis, Objecto, a man capable of transforming into any and every possible object. And to top it all off, in his free time Francis is an avid watercolorist, who enjoys drawing landscapes and risqu? portraits of his frog girlfriend, Fabienne. Veteran cartoonist Anouk Ricard delivers a fresh take on the superhero genre, imbued with her signature slapstick sensibility, preposterous scenarios, and off-the-wall punchlines. Translated by Montana Kane.
