Many readers will be familiar with Blechman's covers for The New Yorker magazine, more will be familiar with the countless books for children and adults he's illustrated (or written and illustrated) since 1953, and many more will be familiar with his animated Christmas short for CBS, his commercials for Alka-Seltzer, and for his Emmy Award winning animated presentation, The Soldier's Tale (PBS). On The One Hand / On The Other Hand collects the best of Blechman's writing and drawing from across the breadth of nearly his 70-year career as cartoonist, commentator, and iconoclast. Presented as a handsome double-sided book, On the One Hand includes a portfolio of 17 of Blechman's graphically sublime covers for the fabled Story magazine. On the Other Hand includes a collection of essays that offer his trenchant insights, both playful and profound, on the state of our culture today including his personal perspective on film, theater ... literature, history, politics, social change, and his fellow cartoonists and illustrators. Blechman shares his hard-earned insights and personal anecdotes on persisting your way to success ('Second Acts'), on growing older but not surrendering youth ('I'm Not Finished'), and on the constraints that every artist from caveman days to the present must overcome. ('Against those odds, confidence is hard to come by.')"--

Arandojo''s staccato dialogue lends a poetic quality to these lively, often mysterious characters, while Percio''s raw and expressive charcoal drawings perfectly capture the rough charm of this eclectic community of artists and the seedy, smoky locales they inhabit. Romantic, dangerous, and brimming with life Buenos Aires in the time of the beatnik.

"Mannie Murphy is a gender queer Portland native. This work of graphic nonfiction, told in the style of an illustrated diary, begins as an affectionate reminiscence of the author's 1990s teenage infatuation with the late actor River Phoenix but morphs into a remarkable, sprawling account of the city of Portland and state of Oregon's dark history of white nationalism. Murphy details the relationship between white supremacist Tom Metzger (former KKK Grand Wizard and founder of the White Aryan Resistance) and the "Rose City" street kids like Ken Death that infiltrated Van Sant's films -- a relationship that culminates in an infamous episode of Geraldo. Murphy brilliantly weaves 1990s alternative culture, from Kurt Cobain and William Burroughs to Keanu Reeves and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, with two centuries of the Pacific Northwest's shameful history as a hotbed for white nationalism: from the Whitman massacre in 1847 and the Ku Klux Klan's role in Portland's city planning in the early 1900s to the brutal treatment of Black people displaced in the 1948 Vanport flood and through the 2014 armed standoff with Cliven Bundy's cattle ranch. In Murphy's personal reflections and heart-racing descriptions of scenes like infamous campfire kiss in My Own Private Idaho, the artist's story becomes a moral anchor to a deeply amoral regional history and marks the incredible debut of a talented new voice to the graphic medium. Two-color illustrations throughout."--Provicded by publisher.

The world of The Cloven: a place where facts are malleable; where genetic ''experiments'' live in the margins beneath the freeway. Where secret societies make all the real decisions about the fate of our world, where billionaires filled with hubris insist on tweaking the universe for our own good, where fear and anxiety seep from people''s pores so that we d rather believe the scripted television news than something we''ve actually seen; and yet where searching for one s place in the world - searching for one''s home - is still the most powerful yearning of a person''s soul.

These interviews delve deeply into the moral, aesthetic, and intellectual foundations of Schulz''s worldview and his art. They reveal a man at once humble and self-deprecating, but also assured of his talents and success. Some days he feels like the hopeless, downtrodden Charlie Brown, while other days he revels in being an artist made rich and famous through the sheer mastery of his art.

The work in Mindviscosity has been created in the wake of Furie''s transformative experience as the creator of Pepe the Frog - a character meant to provoke joy and laughter only to be appropriated and subverted by others for genuinely sinister purposes. Furie''s recent paintings seemed leavened by his experience, as his unsettling menagerie of creatures seem content to withhold their true intent. Despite Furie''s use of inviting colours and friendly cartoon iconography, Furie''s richly visual imagination plumbs darker depths.

Widely considered to be one of the best comics strips ever created, George Herriman''s Krazy Kat detailed the comings and goings of a lovestruck vagabond ''Kat,'' a malicious mouse, and a diligent dog just trying to keep order.

Two years after he published The Underground Sketchbook in 1964, Tomi Ungerer conceived The Party - a take-down of the super rich, as savage as anything George Grosz or Ralph Steadman put on paper. Each full page or spread is accompanied by a hilariously incongruous caption, lettered in the author''s hand, creating an irreconcilable dissonance between image and text. Each image is a masterpiece of hideousness, the book itself a succession of smug, bloated, drooling, lascivious, ostentatious monsters. In The Party, Ungerer''s unleashes one of the most caustic moral imaginations of any cartoonist, each slashing ink line dipped in scorn.

Atlantis exists, and is immersed in a sea not as deep as you might thGiorgio Carpinteri''s sheer graphic brilliance - featuring aspects of Futurism, Cubism, Russian Constructivism, and German Expressionism with echoes of Bauhaus and distinct whims of Art Deco - would be enough to carry this brilliant fantasy, but Aquatlantic is also a lyrical, allegorical masterpiece exploring the relationship between the conscious and unconscious, the known and the unknown.

In this graphic novel, three cutting-edge, world-renowned cartoonists team up to tell a tale of an 18th-century pirate -- one who's more gallows fodder than a Hollywood swashbuckler.

Based on the 2019 film, Windows on the World is a sensitive portrayal of a family in mourning and effectively personalises the grief felt by an entire nation.

The Day the Rats Vetoed Congress is Ralph Nader''s fable of struggle and strategy, tenacity and triumph for our troubled times. But more than just a story, it can also serve as a ''how-to'' guide to effect political change - from a pied piper who''s done it time and time again. Gleefully and generously illustrated by famed political cartoonist Mr Fish, pulling no punches in bringing his stunning graphic sensibilities to bear on this modern fable of vice and virtue. When The rats Attacked the (Fat) Cats is both a fable of citizen action and a call to advocacy. You may just laugh yourself serious.
