32 Stories : The Complete Optic Nerve Mini-Comicsby Adrian TomineISBN 1896597009 (1-896597-00-9)
Softcover, Drawn & Quarterly Publications
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: '32 Stories : The Complete Optic Nerve Mini-Comics'Book summary:In 1991, Adrian Tomine self-published the first issue of Optic Nerve. Consisting of three xeroxed sheets of paper, and with a print run of twenty-five, it was a less-than-auspicious, largely unnoticed debut. In the following three years, though, Optic Nerve developed at a startlingly rapid pace: the artwork and writing evolved with each story, production quality improved, page counts increased, and by issue seven, sales had reached 6,000. In 1994, Drawn & Quarterly took over the publishing duties of Optic Nerve, and the original seven issues sold out and were left out of print. 32 stories presents these rare, early editions, collected for the first time in a single volume.[via]More editions of 32 Stories : The Complete Optic Nerve Mini-Comics:

Blood of Palomarby Gilbert HernandezISBN 1560970057 (1-56097-005-7)
Softcover, Fantagraphics Books
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Blood of Palomar'Book summary:Fifty issues--collected into 15 volumes that total 2,000 pages--the Hernandez brothers' Love and Rockets is an enormous achievement that helped to create a new audience for comics. Notable for their strong female characters and their focus on relationships, rather than on traditional comic-book 'action', the stories collected in this volume, and the rest of the series, show how the comic format can be used to create characters and situations as detailed and compelling as in any novel.
Reviewers have compared Gilbert Hernandez's work--set in the fictional Latin American town of Palomar--with that of Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Robert Altman. Reading his brother Jaime's work--most of which focuses on a group of Southern California Mexican American women--is like reading Tolstoy, if only Tolstoy had written about twenty-something punk girls. Love and Rockets has certainly earned its legendary reputation among the comic-book cognoscenti, and deserves to be read by an even wider audience. Welcome to the world of Los Bros Hernandez. [via]

Bomb the Suburbs : Grafitti, Race, Freight-Hopping and the Search for Hip Hop's Moral Centerby William Upski WimsattISBN 1887128964 (1-887128-96-4)
Softcover, Counterpoint
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Bomb the Suburbs : Grafitti, Race, Freight-Hopping and the Search for Hip Hop's Moral Center'Book summary:Should graffiti writers organize to tear up the cities, or should they really be bombing the 'burbs? That's the question posed by William Upski Wimsatt in his seminal foray into the world of hip-hop, rap, and street art, and the culture and politics that surround it. But to say that the book deals only with taggers and hip-hop is selling it short. Taking on a broad range of topics, including suburban sprawl, racial identity, and youth activism, Wimsatt (a graffiti artist himself) uses a kaleidoscopic approach that combines stories, cartoons, interviews, disses, parodies, and original research to challenge the suburban mindset wherever it's found: suburbs and corporate headquarters, inner cities and housing projects, even in hip-hop itself. Funny, provocative, and painfully honest,Bomb the Suburbsencourages readers to expand their social boundaries and explore the vibrant, chaotic world that exists beyond their comfort zones. [via]

Fair Weatherby Joe MattISBN 1896597742 (1-896597-74-2)
Softcover, Chronicle Books Llc
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Fair Weather'Book summary:In 1987 Joe Matt began work on the autobiographical comic series Peepshow (later instalments of which are collected in The Poor Bastard). Peepshow quickly became an underground hit for its painfully honest accounts of Matt's dysfunctional relationships and his obsession with pornography, but Matt challenged his audience by turning to his childhood years in the 1995-1997 "Fair Weather" storyline. Fair Weather takes place over a weekend in young Matt's life, but this return to the past is anything but nostalgic. He spends most of the weekend alienating friends and family and attempting to avoid being beaten up by an former pal. Matt is on the verge of adolescence in the comic, and his awkward--and sometimes cruel--encounters with girls foreshadow the problems in his adult relationships. The foundation of Matt's life as a comic artist is also laid here, as he spends the weekend trying to find a copy of Action Comics No. 1 and track down his comics collection, which his mother has hidden.
Despite some fans' complaints about Fair Weather lacking Peepshow's usual focus on sexual obsessions and the failures of love, it is in many ways Matt's most challenging work. It's a searingly honest self-portrait of the artist as a truly horrible youth: self-centered, greedy, uncaring, unsure of himself, and simultaneously contemptuous and fearful of the world. As in the case of other Peepshow comics, readers may find Matt repugnant and unlikable, but at the same time they can't help but identify with him just a little. While Fair Weather reads well enough as a stand-alone account of childhood, its real strength lies in the way that it fleshes out the rest of Matt's life. If Peepshow is Joe Matt's autobiography, Fair Weather is his secret diary. --Peter Darbyshire [via]

The Frank Bookby Jim Woodring, Francis Ford CoppolaISBN 1560975342 (1-56097-534-2)
Hardcover, Fantagraphics Books
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Frank Book'Book summary:Are the Frank stories fables, allegories, or dreams? Is Frank a cat, a dog, or something in between? Is Jim Woodring an above-average cartoonist with a steady supply of magic mushrooms, or a genius? The reader of The Frank Book will be left with these questions and more upon finishing this lavish, wondrous 350-page coffee table book. But, while reading--or rather, perusing--these wordless tales, which have been collected from publications ranging from Heavy Metal magazine to The Millennium Whole Earth Catalogue, some things do become clear. For instance, Woodring must be an artist with a direct line to his subconscious; how else to explain the dreamlike intensity of these tales, which communicate through symbols and archetypes? And, as filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola observes in his introduction, even at their most oblique the Frank adventures carry with them "a subtle sense of resolution, letting us now that in Woodring's world the equation has been thoroughly worked out and presented, and that the results are worth understanding."
But The Frank Book can be enjoyed purely on visual terms as well. The high-quality paper stock enhances the Seattle artist's dazzling use of colour, and his black-and-white work is as marvelous to behold in its own way. On a level of pure imagination, it is hard to think of any creatures as fully formed yet bizarre as those populating this work--oddities like the geometrical Jerry Chickens, the mischief-making, moon-faced Whim, and Frank's toaster-shaped companion Pupshaw. To open the book is to step into a universe as thoroughly realized and magical as Oz. (Although The Frank Book, with its occasional scenes of brutality, may not be suitable for children.) As Coppola notes, "The Frank Book is one man's puzzling gift to a puzzling world. It brings a hidden world to light and lets us examine it minutely." As with Chris Ware's Jimmy Corrigan, The Frank Book deserves a place not just on the comic lover's shelf but in the collection of anyone with an appreciation for brilliant visual storytelling. --Shawn Conner [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Get Your War on'Book summary:David Rees' Get Your War On is already a cult Web site and it looks set to continue to garner even more fans with the release of this excellent 100 page paperback collection. Subverting the traditional three-frame cartoon format by its use of ubiquitous static clip-art coupled with some of the harshest, bile-filled satire around, Rees has produced an absolute winner. Each cartoon manages to portray the anger, disillusion, cynicism, intelligence and stupidity of our times and Rees's outrage, humanity and perspicacity is as heart-warming as it is hilarious. Caustic, derisive, direct comedy, Get Your War On is essential reading for these mad, bad times. --George Bowman [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Ghost World/ Mundo fantasmal'Book summary:Dan Clowes described the story in Ghost World as the examination of "the lives of two recent high school graduates from the advantaged perch of a constant and (mostly) undetectable eavesdropper, with the shaky detachment of a scientist who has grown fond of the prize microbes in his petri dish." From this perch comes a revelation about adolescence that is both subtle and coolly beautiful. Critics have pointed out Clowes's cynicism and vicious social commentary, but if you concentrate on those aspects, you'll miss the exquisite whole that Clowes has captured. Each chapter ends with melancholia that builds towards the amazing, detached, ghostlike ending. [via]

Our Band Could Be Your Life: Scenes from the American Indie Underground 1981-1991by Michael AzerradISBN 0316787531 (0-316-78753-1)

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Our Band Could Be Your Life: Scenes from the American Indie Underground 1981-1991'Book summary:It was a musical revolution that happened in the midst of Reagan's 80s: a small but sprawling network of bands, labels, fanzines, radio stations and other subversives who re-shaped and re-energized American rock music with punk rock's revolutionary do-it-yourself credo. The music that resulted was deeply personal, always challenging and immensely influential. This book traces the arc of the American indie underground in the 1980s, from obscure beginnings to the point a decade later when the mainstream sat up and took notice. Beginning with the pioneering and notorious punk band, Black Flag, the story continues with the Minutemen, Mission of Burma, Minor Threat, Husker Du, the Replacements, Sonic Youth, Butthole Surfers, Big Black, Dinosaur Jr, Fugazi, Mudhoney and Beat Happening, among others. Without major label support, these bands depended on resourcefulness, creativity and an all-powerful sense of community. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Persepolis'Book summary:Description del libro en espanol: Persepolis ganadora del Premio al Mejor Guion de Angouleme 2002, e una historia autobiografica de Marjane Satrapi que ahonda en los limites de la libertad y analiza, a traves de la mirada fresca e inocente de una nina, la tambaleante situacion politica e ideologica de su pais. En tres volumenes. Book Description in English: Editorial Review. . .Originally published to wide critical acclaim in France, where it elicited comparisons to Art Spiegelman's Maus, Persepolis is Marjane Satrapi's wise, funny, and heartbreaking memoir of growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. In powerful black-and-white comic strip images, Satrapi tells the story of her life in Tehran from ages six to fourteen, years that saw the overthrow of the Shah's regime, the triumph of the Islamic Revolution, and the devastating effects of war with Iraq. The intelligent and outspoken only child of committed Marxists and the great-granddaughter of one of Iran's last emperors, Marjane bears witness to a childhood uniquely entwined with the history of her country. Persepolis paints an unforgettable portrait of daily life in Iran: of the bewildering contradictions between home life and public life and of the enormous toll repressive regimes exact on the individual spirit. Marjane's child's-eye-view of dethroned emperors, state-sanctioned whippings, and heroes of the revolution allows us to learn as she does the history of this fascinating country and of her own extraordinary family. Intensely personal, profoundly political, and wholly original, Persepolis is at once a story of growing up and a stunning reminder of the human cost of war and political repression. It shows how we carry on, through laughter and tears, in the face of absurdity. And, finally, it introduces us to an irresistible little girl with whom we cannot help but fall in love. In three volumes. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Wigwam Bam'Book summary:Fifty issues--collected into 15 volumes that total 2,000 pages--the Hernandez brothers' Love and Rockets is an enormous achievement that helped to create a new audience for comics. Notable for their strong female characters and their focus on relationships, rather than on traditional comic-book 'action', the stories collected in this volume, and the rest of the series, show how the comic format can be used to create characters and situations as detailed and compelling as in any novel.
Reviewers have compared Gilbert Hernandez's work--set in the fictional Latin American town of Palomar--with that of Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Robert Altman. Reading his brother Jaime's work--most of which focuses on a group of Southern California Mexican American women--is like reading Tolstoy, if only Tolstoy had written about twenty-something punk girls. Love and Rockets has certainly earned its legendary reputation among the comic-book cognoscenti, and deserves to be read by an even wider audience. Welcome to the world of Los Bros Hernandez. [via]
