"Boy's Own" The Complete Fanzines 1986-92 Frank Broughton (Editor), Bill Brewster (Editor)
DJhistory.com 0956189628 / 9780956189622 Hardcover New
The Boy's Own crew were having so much fun that in six years they only managed to loose off 12 issues. But these 440 pages depict acid house culture – the slang, the parties, the tunes, the humour – better than anything, as captured in the words of Farley, Mayes, Weatherall, Oakenfold and many more key players. As well as every page of every fanzine there’s a great interview with all the Boys.

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.

Arrival Shaun Tan
Arthur A Levine Books 0439895294 / 9780439895293 Hardcover New
In a heartbreaking parting, a man gives his wife and daughter a last kiss and boards a steamship to cross the ocean. He's embarking on the most painful yet important journey of his life - he's leaving home to build a better future for his family. Shaun Tan evokes universal aspects of an immigrant's experience through a singular work of the imagination. He does so using brilliantly clear and mesmerizing images. Because the main character can't communicate in words, the book forgoes them too. But while the reader experiences the main character's isolation, he also shares his ultimate joy.

Art Crime: The Montage Art Of Winston Smith Winston Smith
Last Gasp 0867194405 / 9780867194401 Paperback New
"Artcrime" is the second collection at Winston's work to be published by Last Gasp, following the highly successful "Act Like Nothing's Wrong." Winston Smith gained mass appeal through his work with the Dead Kennedys, and the foreword of "Artcrime" is by notorious punk impressario Jello Biafra. "Following that time-tested tradition of montage, collage and random image appropriation, Winston Smith takes this medium one step further than his precursors, Max Ernst and Marcel Duchamp." 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.'

Bigfoot: I Not Dead Graham Roumieu
Plume 0452289564 / 9780452289567 Hardcover New
In his eagerly anticipated follow-up to "Me Write Book," Bigfoot returns from exile to share his inspiring, hilarious, and often deeply disturbing experiences as a misunderstood forest gentleman and tragic media darling. These entertaining and often grizzly stories stand not only as a testament to the greatness of the legendary man-beast, but also as a chilling cautionary tale of the downside of a life of celebrity, cannibalism, celebrity cannibalism, wanton violence, and lack of toilet training. As in "Me Write Book," full-color glossy spreads depict every intimate, disgusting, and downright insane moment of Bigfoot's life. "Bigfoot: I Not Dead" is an unforgettable memoir that will stay with readers long after his foul scent has dissipated.

Crumb the legendary illustrator reveals here the story of Genesis in a profoundly honest and deeply moving way. Originally thinking that we would do a take off of Adam and Eve Crumb became so fascinated by the Bible’s language a text so great and so strange that it lends itself readily to graphic depictions that he decided instead to do a literal interpretation using the text word for word in a version primarily assembled from the translations of Robert Alter and the King James bible.

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.
