Curses
by Kevin Huizenga
The much anticipated first collection by
up-and-coming-new-comics-champ, Kevin Huizenga is at last on our
shelves. Its arrival may, however, signal the end of Huizenga's
status as an up-and-comer, and initiate his ensconsement in the ranks
of established contemporary masters of comics. This volume brings
together a wide range of Huizenga's work from a wide variety of
sources. It starts off with a little known (well, not to long
time Copacetic customers) gem from the Orchid anthology published by Sparkplug
Comics, titled, "Green Tea." It is adapted from a classic
Victorian horror story
of the same name by
Sheridan Le Fanu, but is given the inimitable Huizenga treatment and
stands as an original work. Following this there is the trilogy
that first appeared in Drawn
and Quarterly Showcase #1, several selections from the now out of
print first issue of Huizenga's ongoing solo title, Or Else, a 2-pager originally done
for Time Magazine, and the full color story, "Jeepers Jacobs,"
originally executed for Kramers
Ergot 5. Anyone not already familiar with these works is
heartily encouraged to consider this a great opportunity to read some
excellent comics delivered in a fine package for a reasonable
price. And, it should go without saying (but, of course, we can't
help but say it anyway) that this is makes for a swell gift.

New Tales of Old Palomar
by Gilbert
Hernandez
Delphina
by Richard Sala
The two latest issues in the wonderful Ignatz series of Euro-American
hybrid comics also happen to be two of the best -- and are only the
second and third by Americans (the first being Ganges by Kevin Huizenga).
This series of high quality comic books/graphic albums features some of
the finest regularly published comics work currently available and, by
virtue of its periodical status, is both constantly giving us something
to look forward to and bringing back the fun of collecting. This
time we have that titan of titans, Gilbert Hernandez delivering exactly
what the title states: the first of what promises to be a number
of brand new, never before seen stories featuring the sprawling cast of
characters we know and love from the original issues of Love and Rockets.
As with all of Gilbert's tales this one is really a patchwork quilt of
stories of all shapes and sizes sewn together into one snug and
comfortable whole. Delphina presents the first
installment of one of another of Richard Sala's trademarked tales of
eerie mystery rendered in his unmistakable, angular pen and ink
style. This one concerns a clean-cut boy who, in search of his
apple-cheeked girl, finds himself in a small town whose inhabitants...
well, we don't want to give too much away. Suffice it to say
these are folk who put the strange in strangers, and you wouldn't want
to have to depend on them.

The
Mourning Star (#1)
by Kazimir Strzepek
This 200+ page square format book, designed by Jordan Crane and
published by Bodega, is the first in a projected series of a lengthy post-apocalyptic
tales of the struggle to survive. It also serves to announce
Bodega's arrival as the heir apparent to the now defunct Highwater
Press, as this book bears many of the traits associated with Highwater
releases. Previously their activites vis a vis Highwater had been
limited to distributing the remainder of the catalogue, but with the
release of The Mourning Star, it appears that Bodega has
assumed the mantle of publishing as well. We wish The
Mourning Star success and welcome Bodega to the fold of small press
comics publishers.

Private Stash:
A Pin-Up Girl Portfolio by 20 Cartoonists
This one is an attempt to be the last word in fetish object.
Playing on the trope of arrested adolescent sexuality stereotypically
identified with the bagging-and-boarding fanboy set of which more than
a few of these participants are graduates, Private Stash starts
out with a squarebound translucent case that contains -- once you've
struggled to remove it from this secure enclosure without damaging it
-- a clever two-layer illustrated wraparound slipcase portrait of all
twenty contributors by Rick Altergott (displaying his Mort Drucker and
Wally Wood chops to full effect) which opens to reveal a 20 panel
accordian-print that opens (to over ten feet!) to reveal the wet-dream
girls of a fairly astounding array of talent: R. Crumb, Dan
Clowes, Gilbert and Jaime Hernandez, Charles Burns, Gary Panter, Peter
Bagge, Adrian Tomine, Kim Deitch, Tony Millionaire, Richard Sala, Ivan
Brunetti, Ron Regé,Jr., Dan Zettwoch, Rick Altergott, Jonathan
Bennett, Sammy Harkham, Tim Hensley, Mitch O'Connell and Archer Prewitt
(It's too bad they couldn't get Chris Ware on board with this one, but
then again, his fantasy might be too much for the rest of us to
handle...).

Swamp Preacher
by David Sandlin
1980s art comic pioneer, David Sandlin reveals the terrible secret of
Carl Bob, "The Swamp Preacher," in this mind-blowing 40-page comic book
that
will have you thinking heretofore unthinkable thoughts about the
nature of America, its people and its practices.
Printed
entirely (except for the amazing full color wraparound front and
inside front covers) in lurid mauve
and green, Swamp Preacher is -- at least for now* -- a
one of a kind experience and and instant classic! *The indicia
states that this is "#1" and the inside back cover mentions "future
issues." We can only pray that this is all true and that we can
continue to follow the incredible tale of Carl Bob and be born again in
the spirit of our age.

The Spirit #1
by Darwyn Cooke
Speaking of born again spirits, here is the much anticipated return of
the one and only Spirit. Created 66 years ago (can you believe
it?!) by the legendary Will Eisner, Denny Colt is back courtesy of
Darwyn Cooke (DC: The New
Frontier),
who, with the able assist of J. Bone on inks and Dave Stewart on
colors, is recreating the Spirit & Co. (including a revamped
Ebony!) for both the 21st century and the DC Comics universe (see the
Batman and Spirit one-shot, also by Cooke & Co., but with script by
Jeph Loeb). The series starts off in full stride with "Ice Ginger
Coffee," a completely self-contained adventure (as Cooke promises all
issues will be in
this nice interview feature)
that brings The Spirit straight away into the war against crime
and the battle between the sexes; right where he belongs.

Dr.
Id - Psychologist of the Supernatural
by Adam McGovern and Palo Leandri
We listed this one a month or two back and it sold out in the blink of
an all-seeing eye, so we contacted the publisher and secured a supply
of this Copacetic Certified Instant Classic™ sufficient to add it to
our ongoing offerings. With Dr. Id, co-creators McGovern
and Leandri have put a sophisticated spin on the iconic Lee and Kirby
formula to give us a series of psychologically astute tales that are
simultaneously fantastic fun. Seven tales -- both tall and short
-- make up this cosmic compendium of cryptic capers -- elegantly
unravelled by the piercingly perceptive analytical intelligence of the
suave and debonair Dr. Id -- all rendered in a cataclysmic Kirby style
that will have True Believers reaching for their hankies. As an
added bonus, we're treated to a copy of the Doctor's dossier to clue us
in to his highbrow history. All we have to say is, "Be there or
be square!"

Ninja
by Brian Chippendale
OK kids, the wait is over. This mega-blast of comics and more by
Fort Thunder co-founder, Brian Chippendale is now on our shelves, and
it's most definitely a book that stands out in a crowd.
Five years in the making, it's Chippendale's first book publication,
and he's gone all out to make it a debut to remember. It's
a giant oversize (11" x 17") 144 page hardcover volume printed in black
and white and full
color where it counts. 80 pages are devoted to the titular
graphic novel that
is both an epic -- and deranged -- fantasy and an urban allegory.
The remaining 64 pages are chock-a-block with drawings, collages,
posters and more. While much is simply pen and ink and/or pencil, this
is reproduced with full attention to all details and subtleties. Ninja is a sensual onslaught
that will stagger your brain as it tries
to take it all in. We found ourselves going back again and again
to
soak up the richness of Chippendale's imagery while simultaneously
working to
crack the riddles of his narratives. Published by the design
wizards at Picture Box.

Acme
Novelty Library 17
by Chris Ware
Well, how about that? Just about exactly one year after number
16, here's number 17 -- right on schedule! This is, as all Chris
Ware devotees
doubtless already know, another carefully crafted hardcover from
the
master himself that contains the next chapter in the sordid saga of
Rusty Brown; or as Mr. Ware himself puts it: "Continuing with the
second half of the introduction to his shamelessly meandering graphic
novel “Rusty Brown” (which began last issue at a private school in the
1970s midwest) the six-sided crystal suggested by the exegisis of the
first installment is slowly turned and examined in mid-morning winter
sunlight sometime between the bell of first period and the conclusion
of lunch for the first through the fourth grades. Also included are
more thorough examinations of many of the main characters’ cloudy
motivations, personal habits, and favorite restaurants, to say nothing
of the small dust mote around which they have coalesced and the
complications in its life due to the acquisition of superpowers
sometime the night before." Where else can one so fully revisit
the fullness of childhood pain in such finely rendered depictions of
the horrors of growing up, wallow in such luxurious self-loathing, and
experience such exquisite quivers of self-laceration but in the pages
of the Acme Novelty Library. Back-up
bonuses: the tales of "Branford,
the Best Bee in the World" and "Will We Be Alive in the Year
2005?"

Moomin,
Book One
by Tove Jansson
Well, if they ever decide to turn this into a prime-time animated
cartoon (which would be great -- but don't hold your breath) we've got
the theme song alrady picked out: "What's So Funny About Peace, Love
and Understanding." Performed by, hmmm, let's say -- Shonen
Knife. This Finnish strip has more in common with George Herriman's Krazy Kat
that one might think just looking at it, or even upon first read; but
once you let it sink in, the strip has at its core the same dedication
to carefree existence, along with a simliarly oddball cast of
characters. Of course, it is indelibly stamped with the character
of its country of origin and Europe in general, but it's half the fun
to see this spirit animated in these foreign climes. Publisher
Drawn and Quarterly has this to say: "The Moomins saw life
in many forms but debuted to its biggest audience ever on the pages of
world’s largest newspaper The London
Evening News, in 1954. The strip was syndicated in newspapers
around the world with millions of readers in 40 countries. Moomin, Book One is D & Q's
first volume in their projected plan to reprint the strip's run through
to 1960. This is the first time the strip will be published in any form
in North America and will deservedly place Jansson among the
international cartooning greats of the last century. The Moomins
are a tight-knit family – hippo-shaped creatures with easygoing and
adventurous outlooks. Jansson's art is pared down and precise, yet able
to compose beautiful portraits of ambling creatures in fields of
flowers or rock-strewn beaches that recall Jansson’s Nordic roots. The
comic strip reached out to adults with its gentle and droll sense of
humor. Whimsical but with biting undertones, Jansson’s observations of
everyday life, including guests who overstay their welcome, modern art,
movie stars, and high society, easily caught the attention of an
international audience and still resonate today." This is a one
of a kind classic that you owe it to yourself to at least take a look
at.

Lucky
by Gabrielle Bell
D & Q sez:
" Gabrielle Bell fascinatingly documents the mundane details of her
below-minimum wage, twenty-something existence in Brooklyn, NY with a
subtle humor. Her simple, unadorned drawing style, heavy narration and
biting wit chronicles transient roommates who communicate only through
post-it notes; aspiring artists who sublet tiny rooms in leaky, greasy
broken-down border-house loft apartments crawling with bugs, cats and
bad art. Bell tackles a string of forgettable, unrelated jobs including
nude modeling, artist’s assistant, art teacher, and jewelry maker that
only serve to bolster her despair, boredom and discomfort in her own
skin. Bell’s self-scrutiny leads her to dream sequences that allow her
to rise above her banal actuality and hyper-awareness. Bell fantasizes
about her vision of a perfect world as she becomes the accomplished
artist and world traveler she longs to be. Bell’s daily comics allow
her to escape the harsh, judgmental gaze of the world and the monotony
of daily life. Her unpolished art speaks to a desire to record all the
messy details while the pain and confusion is still fresh. Coming
of age amidst the zine revolution, cartoonist Gabrielle Bell has been
creating her comics to much acclaim, even winning an Ignatz Award for
the self-published serialization of Lucky."

This, the fifteenth Mutts collection, is a large format volume
like the four Sunday-only collections, but is the first to contain both
the dailies in black and white together with the full size Sundays in

only that, but this volume contains 12 extra pages of rough sketches
and watercolors and other neat stuff. As
a result it's a jumbo size book -- the largest Mutts collection yet,
208 pages in all. What can we say: Mutts is good;
more Mutts is better!

previously encountered, at least not on a purchasable DVD. Artists on this disc include
Paper Rad & Peter Burr (both Pittsburgh-connected), Amy Lockhart,
Takeshi Murata, Phillippe Blanchard, Michael Bell-Smith, Christopher
Doulgeris, as well as Hooliganship and Slow Dance Recyttal.

PLEASE
NOTE: One of the shorts (Gretchen Hogue's Where's

is composed of a rapid-fire montage of still images -- most appear to
have been cut out of magazines -- that includes quite a few that
are
pornographic in nature. The on-screen time of these images is
generally under one second, they are all employed to humorous effect,
and one would be hard pressed to find anything of prurient interest
here, but, nevertheless, it renders this collection
inappropriate for unsupervised children and anyone who would be
offended by this
type of material. You have been warned.

The Fountain
by Darren Aronofsky & Kent Williams
Now
available in softcover! Here's what we said when the now
out-of-print hardcover was released: "Wow!
This is book has our vote for best original graphic novel
ever published by Vertigo. Two years in the making, this work was
born like a phoenix out of the ashes of Aronofsky's failed original
attempt to make it as a film. Once Kent's pages started showing
up at Darren's door, however, this resparked his imagination and
orobouros-like inspired him to restart the film project, in a scaled
down production. This led to a Mobius strip situation of the two
projects being created simultaneously: the graphic novel based on
the original uncompleted film script (which, upon hindsight, seems much
more suited to the graphic novel format than film) and the new film
inspired by the graphic novel. Kent Williams has really outdone
himself here, producing a career high work that employs his full
arsenal of techniques and stands to introduce many people to his
stellar abilities. Aronofsky's script is a powerful allegorical
tale about coming to terms with the death of a loved one -- and,
ultimately, with death itself. Yes, this book is a bit pricey (not anymore, as this softcover edition is half the
price of the hardcover!) but it's worth it . Recommended." And here's
the trailer for the film.

Abandon
the Old in Tokyo
by Yoshihiro Tatsumi
This is the second volume in Drawn and Quarterly's ongoing project to
collect the works of the founding father of gekiga, a gritty,
more overtly literary form of manga. Picking up where
last year's The Push Man and Other stories left off, Abandon
the Old in Tokyo
collects Tatsumi's work from 1970. The eight lengthy tales that
make up this 200 page hardcover volume present the seamy
underside of (then) contemporary urban life, but unlike other often
exploitative treatments of this type of subject matter, Tatsumi's
approach provides his readers with a very humane perspective on all too
real humans struggling to make their way in a world that seems to have
changed without them.

Shenzhen: A Travelogue from China
by
Guly Delisle
Speaking of follow-up volumes, this is a follow-up to Delisle's Pyongyang:
A Journey to North Korea,
that was released last year at this time, then as now in conjuction
with Tatsumi's collection. We're not sure what D & Q is
trying to say with these dual releases, but we presume it has something
to do with Asia. In any event, Deslisle, a Québec native
currently residing in France, has abandoned a decade long career
working in animation to devote himself full time to comics, and his
devotion is starting to reap dividends. Shenzhen offers the
reader a super cut-rate fare to this up and coming Chinese
metropolis situated close to
Hong Kong (One
caveat to keep in mind when reading this: the visit this
travelogue records took place in 1997 -- the city has grown quite
a bit since then).
He communicates his feelings of isolation as a non-Chinese speaking
westerner who is there for work (he was overseeing an animation
production) and offers an engaging look at the city's culture and
people that doubles as a historical snapshot.

Rising
Up and Rising Down: Some Thoughts on Violence
by William T. Vollman
This hefty hardcover volume is a 734 page abridgement of Vollman's
massive seven-volume original that was published in 2003 by
McSweeney's. Vollman's introduction states, "What you have here
is (1) a selection of "when is violent defense of X justified"
chapters, which are (I hope) interesting in their own right; followed
by (2) the complete Moral Calculus, which contains my answers
to every "when is" question considered in the long volume; rounded off
with (3) several case studies from war zones, et cetera, along with all
regional introductions to the case studies." Our favorite quote
from the introduction: "The long version of Rising Up Rising
Down
took me twenty-three years... the abridgement took me half an
hour." We're bringing this to your attention with the thought
that now might be a fruitful time to reflect on this book's theme, and
due to the spectacularly low price at which we currently able to offer
it.

Murdaland:
Crime Fiction for the 21st Century - Issue 01
Will wonders never cease. This new book format, semi-annually
published periodical
that aims to revive the values of classic pulp
fiction -- think Jim Thompson and David Goodis (whose long lost
novella, "Professional Man," graces these pages) -- is edited right
here in Pittsburgh, PA, practically in our own back yard! Here's
what they have to say for themselves: "Included are fifteen
original stories from such masters of the form as Daniel Woodrell,
Ireland's Ken Bruen and Latin America's new prince of noir, Rolo
Diez. Adding an air of utter veracity are an ex-con's
autobiographical lament of botched stick-ups and lustful romance in the
heartland and a former Sandinista rebel's tale of jealousy and fatal
ambush. Topping the debut off are an excerpt from Tom Franklin's
new novel, Smonk, the picaresque tale of a murderous riverboat
whore in the early 1900s and an unnerving work-in progress by literary
icon, Mary Gaitskill. Expect visceral scenes of violence,
repercussion, mayhem and dread. Dark moments offering an array of
ugly insights you never asked for."

Chris Cornwell. Fans of Fort Thunder who are looking for an
artist who understands the visual vocabulary of its artists and is

appealing images, who takes the time to
think things through, and
whose vision extends far beyond the borders of the comics world need
look no further -- this is it! And, of course, one need not be a
fan of the Fort Thunder crowd to appreciate this work, as it is, after
all is said and done, quite an original piece. Questor is
a work of pure comics. What you find here, can't be as fully
expressed in any other form.
