Action Figure G. B. Trudeau Andrews McMeel 0740715542 / 9780740715549 Paperback New The perennial bad boy of American comics has always been a man of action: libelous action, irrational action, covert action, back-street action-even when comatose, he has a certain flair. Duke is the man of a thousand vices, with almost as many pages to his resume. For 17 years, from Samoa to China to Panama to Kuwait, wherever serious mischief was being dealt, Duke has been a major figure. "Action Figure!, " gives the Toasted One his due-one vast, staggering flashback that tracks his careening career from Gonzo Journalist to Governor, Ambassador, Coach, Laetrile Farmer, Fugitive, and Zombie. No risk has been too great, no prospect too strange, to sway the man with nerves of steel from his random course. Price: |

Winston Smith gained mass appeal through his work with the Dead Kennedys, and the foreword of "Artcrime" is by notorious punk impressario Jello Biafra.

Robert Williams "From Kurt Schwitter's 'merz to Heartfield's photo-montage warnings of global fascism, Winston Smith's use of pop magazine image keeps in sharp focus the ever encroaching apocalyptic nightmare.'

Beats Harvey Pekar, Ed Piscor, Paul Buhle Hill And Wang 0809016494 / 9780809016495 Paperback New In "The Beats: A Graphic History," those who were mad to live have come back to life through artwork as vibrant as the Beat movement itself. Told by the comic legend Harvey Pekar, his frequent artistic collaborator Ed Piskor, and a range of artists and writers, including the feminist comic creator Trina Robbins and the "Mad" magazine artist Peter Kuper, "The Beats" takes us on a wild tour of a generation that, in the face of mainstream American conformity and conservatism, became known for its determined uprootedness, aggressive addictions, and startling creativity and experimentation. What began among a small circle of friends in New York and San Francisco during the late 1940s and early 1950s laid the groundwork for a literary explosion, and this striking anthology captures the storied era in all its incarnations--from the Benzedrine-fueled antics of Kerouac, Ginsberg, and Burroughs to the painting sessions of Jay DeFeo's disheveled studio, from the jazz hipsters to the beatnik chicks, from Chicago's College of Complexes to San Francisco's famed City Lights bookstore. Snapshots of lesser-known poets and writers sit alongside frank and compelling looks at the Beats' most recognizable faces. What emerges is a brilliant collage of--and tribute to--a generation, in a form and style that is as original as its subject. Price: |

Black Hole Charles Burns Pantheon 0375714723 / 9780375714726 Paperback New The prodigiously talented Burns hit the comics scene in the '80s via Raw magazine wielding razor-sharp ironic-retro graphics. Over the years his work has developed a horrific subtext perpetually lurking beneath the mundane suburban surface. In the dense unnerving Black HoleBurns combines realism—never a concern for him before—and an almost convulsive surrealism. The setting is Seattle during the early '70s. A sexually transmitted disease the bug is spreading among teenagers. Those who get it develop bizarre mutations—sometimes subtle like a tiny mouth at the base of one boy's neck and sometimes obvious and grotesque. The most visibly deformed victims end up living as homeless campers in the woods venturing into the streets only when they have to shunned by normal society. The story follows two teens Keith and Chris as they get the bug. Their dreams and hallucinations—made of deeply disturbing symbolism merging sexuality and sickness—are a key part of the tale. The AIDS metaphor is obvious but the bug also amplifies already existing teen emotions and the wrenching changes of puberty. Burns's art is inhumanly precise and he makes ordinary scenes as creepy as his nightmare visions of a world where intimacy means a life worse than death. Price: |

Brian Chippendale: Maggots Brian Chippendale PictureBox 0978972260 / 9780978972264 Paperback New In this follow-up to his acclaimed graphic novel Ninja--which was reviewed in such diverse sources as The New York Times Art Review and The Comics Journal--the co-founder of the legendary Providence underground art and music space Fort Thunder gives us an immersive frenetic reading experience. Originally drawn in 1996 over the pages of a Japanese book catalogue Brian Chippendale's monumental 350-page graphic novel Maggots is reproduced here in a facsimile edition with every nick and tear in tact. The line work--incredibly dense because Chippendale needed to cover up the Japanese catalogue--nearly vibrates off every page. As for the story it concerns a group of characters who live in a place called Fort Thunder and wander around discovering little holes in their universe battle a capitalist landlord eat peanut butter sandwiches and embark on adventures somewhere between dirt punk and epic cosmic science fiction. Chippendale's drawings are much like his famed drumming for the noise rock band Lightning Bolt: propulsive soulful and chaotic. But like his best songs Maggots opens up into beautiful visual passages vistas of temples and flowers--all drawn in scorching black marks that tell a story in their own abstractions. This book has several built-in cult followings. Price: |
