(W/A) Cathy Malkasian Do ideas of war and enemies hold a people together? Is a culture of conflict too seductive not to be irresistible? These are the questions 2008 Eisner Award Winner Cathy Malkasian explores in her second graphic novel, Temperance, a fully realized, multi-layered world, inhabited by vividly realized characters and master craftsmanship. After a brutal injury in battle, Lester has no memory of his prior life. For the next thirty years his wife does everything to keep him from remembering — and re-constructing — a society, Blessedbowl, that elevates him as a hero. Blessedbowl is a cultural convergence of lies, memories, stories, and beliefs. Its people thrive on ideas of persecution, exceptionality, and enemies, convinced that war lurks just outside their walls. Malkasian creates a densely textured social context, masterfully conveying the idiosyncratic physical domain with its spiraling structures and quasi-medieval architecture along with intimate yet plastic portraits of her characters in a rich, tonal pencil line. Temperance is a galvanizing work of empathy and violence by one of today’s the most thoughtful and accomplished cartoonists. Be there! HC, 8x10. 240pgs, PC $22.99 THE SEARCH FOR SMILIN’ ED! TP (W/A) Kim Deitch The Search for Smilin’ Ed is the latest of Kim Deitch’s graphic novels to showcase his obsessive burrowing into the nooks and crannies of vintage American popular culture. Launched on his latest investigation by a remark from his brother about a shared childhood favorite (“Y’know, I heard that when Smilin’ Ed died... his body was NEVER found!”), Deitch begins to uncover some truly amazing things about the kiddie-show host and his malevolent sidekick, Froggy the Gremlin. Meanwhile, Deitch’s muse and nemesis Waldo the Cat abandons Deitch to hang out with some demon buddies, and soon both Waldo and Deitch are closing in on the mysteries of Smilin’ Ed and Froggy. Bonus! Deitch has also created a brand new story starring Waldo in his 21st century post-Alias The Cat state of domestic bliss, stumbling across an army of (French-) talking beavers. Of course, there’s a story behind that... SC, 7x10, 144pgs, B&W $16.99 STILL AVAILABLE DEITCH’S PICTORAMA (W/A) Kim Deitch, Simon Deitch, Seth Deitch A unique, all-new “picot-fiction” pocket book that alternates between heavily illustrated near-comics stories and outright prose pieces; a testament to the Deitch family’s amazing yarn-spinning abilities! (MAY083864) SC, 6x8, 240pgs, B&W $18.99 ************************************************************************ SCREAM QUEEN: SAND AND FURY GN (W/A) Ho Che Anderson A story of blood, of sex, of death — of sound and retribution. It opens as a girl by the side of a desert road accepts a ride from a stranger. How could she know that behind that wheel sits the angel of death? Of course, even the angel of death once had a life. During that life, death was a successful business woman, with a great career and an even greater future. It’s true she could be a little cavalier with her innate gifts; she had, after all, broken the heart of everyone who had ever loved her. And then, one day — the monster entered the woman’s life and changed everything forever. Drawn in a stark, chiseled, expressionistic line that evokes an modern attitudes and classic terror at the unknown and unknowable.

HC, 11x15, 160pgs, FC $35.00 BLAZING COMBAT SC (W) Archie Goodwin (A) The Best Damn Cartoonists The legendary anti-war comic now in paperback! Written by Archie Goodwin and drawn by such luminaries as Frank Frazetta, Wally Wood, John Severin, Alex Toth, Al Williamson, Russ Heath, Reed Crandall, and Gene Colan. Following in the tradition of Harvey Kurtzman’s Two-Fisted Tales and Frontline Combat, Goodwin’s stories reflected the human realities and personal costs of war rather than exploring the clichés of the traditional men’s adventure genre. They are among the best about war ever published.
