DULL MARGARET By Broadbent & Dix

An eerie tale of loneliness, greed, and selfishness.

Inspired by Dulle Griet (aka “Mad Meg”), Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s 16th-century of a “strong, intense woman striding determinedly across a violent landscape,” Dull Margaret is the first by Academy Award winning actor Jim Broadbent (Harry Potter, Game of Thrones) and artist Dix (perhaps best known for his Roll Up! Roll Up! comics in the Guardian newspaper). The Dulle Griet painting shows a breastplated woman with a sword in one hand in front of the mouth of hell, and Broadbent uses that single, vivid image as a launching point to explore what the rest of Dull Margaret’s bleak existence may have been like. As he puts it, “I come from Lincolnshire and have long been fixated on the flat coastal marshes. The story began to unfold from there, incorporating images from more of my favorite artists: Goya’s witches, Daumier’s pictures of travelling players, Rembrandt’s flat, low country landscapes. About the time I was writing, I fell for Dix’s strip in the Guardian. $29.99 Hardcover I felt we shared a particular sort of dark humour.” The resulting collaboration Comics & Graphic Novels / Literary is one of the most unexpected and original graphic novels of 2018. 152 pages, full-color, 6 ¾" x 9 ½" Territory: E • CQ: 18 ISBN 978-1-68396-098-0 JIM BROADBENT is one of his generation’s most acclaimed actors, on stage or screen.

DUMB By Georgia Webber

This remarkable graphic novel masterfully depicts the inner and exterior life of a voiceless woman.

Dumb’s protagonist Georgia lives the relatively carefree and ordinary life of a twentysomething in Montreal: working at a café, volunteering at a local bike co-op, and going out on the town with friends. But when a sudden unanticipated throat injury forces her into months of silence, her life is thrown into disarray. Unable to work her customer service job, she must find new income. Conversing with friends becomes complicated and exhausting. And she is forced to give up a hobby she loves — singing! Navigating a world that appears to be closing in on her appears to be more and more impossible. Part memoir, part medical cautionary tale, Dumb tells the story of how the book’s author copes with the everyday challenges that come with voicelessness. Webber adroitly uses the comics medium to convey the practical hurdles she $22.99 Hardcover faced as well as the fear and dread that accompanied her increasingly lonely Comics & Graphic Novels / Nonfiction journey to regain her life. Her raw cartooning style, occasionally devolving / Biography & Memoir into chaotic scribbles, splotches of ink, and overlapping montages, perfectly 196 pages, two color, 8" x 10" captures her frustration and anxiety. But her ordeal ultimately becomes Territory: E • CQ: 20 a hopeful story. Throughout, she learns to lean on the support of her close ISBN 978-1-68396-116-1 friends, finds self-expression in creating comics, and comes to understand and appreciate how deeply her voice and identity are intertwined. • Original graphic novel • Review attention • Digital ARC GEORGIA WEBBER lives in Hamilton, Ontario. • Author events and book festivals • Off-the-book-page features • Age range: 13+ “In Dumb, the feeling of powerlessness to express oneself is expressed in a completely articulate and powerful cartooning voice. It's a totally fascinating and meaningful comic.” — Dash Shaw

“Dumb is a passionate recount of a painful, frightening and very human experience.” — Eleanor Davis

DEATH STAND AND OTHER STORIES By Jack Davis with Harvey Kurtzman

War stories from two of the all-time greats.

Jack Davis was one of the most versatile artists to work for EC Comics. Davis could do it all — crime, horror, humor, even science fiction. So when Davis teamed up with legendary writer/editor Harvey Kurtzman for stories about men in the stress of combat together, the result was some of the best war stories ever put to paper. Together, Davis and Kurtzman delivered outstanding combat tales from the Civil War to World War I to World War II to Korea. From the Army to the Navy to the Air Force to the Marines. From aviators to soldiers, sailors, and submariners. Davis imbued his characters with a rich, endearing humanity, and Kurtzman pulled no punches in depicting the utter folly, madness, and horror of war. Death Stand And Other Stories collects all the combat tales Davis and Kurtzman did together for EC’s Two-Fisted Tales and Frontline Combat, and $29.99 Hardcover even includes Davis’s adaptation of an excerpt from James Fenimore Cooper’s Comics & Graphic Novels / Historical Last of the Mohicans.

MORT CINDER Alpheus... By Héctor Germán Oesterheld and Alberto Breccia

Before there was Hellboy … there was Mort Cinder.

Alberto Breccia is universally recognized as one of the greatest international Alpheus!! cartoonists in the history of comics and Mort Cinder is considered one of his finest achievements.Created in collaboration with the Argentine writer Héctor Germán Oesterheld, best known in the U.S. for his politically incendiary sci-fi masterpiece, the Eisner Award-winning The Eternaut, Mort Cinder is a horror story with political overtones. This episodic serial, written and drawn between 1962–1964, follows the wanderings through time and space of a man who rises from the grave each time he is killed. A supernatural being, he has witnessed the darkest side of humanity — from ancient to the mid-20th century.

POOCHYTOWN By Jim Woodring

Frank returns, though he might regret it.

Jim Woodring’s beloved anthropomorph called Frank has been subjected to hundreds of unbelievable adventures veering crazily from exaltation to despair.

YOU ARE THERE NEW PRINTING! By Jacques Tardi and Jean-Claude Forest; Translated by

A reprint of the book that ushered in the graphic novel era to European comics, draw by one of the world’s most beloved cartoonists.

This 1980s satirical masterpiece was one of the earliest full-length graphic novels to be published in Europe and is a unique collaboration between the darkly cynical Jacques Tardi and the playful fantasist Jean-Claude Forest. You Are There is set on a small island off the coast of France, where the people have succeeded in overtaking the land from the last heir of a formerly wealthy family. The heir, whose domain is now reduced simply to just the walls that border these patches of land, prowls these walls all day, eeking out a living by collecting tolls at each gate. His hopeless struggle is exploited by a desperate government, while a romantic interaction between a politician and one of the daughters of a landowner (who has her own sordid past) creates further difficulties, culminating in an apocalyptic, hallucinatory, and hilarious finale.

$29.99 Hardcover JACQUES TARDI, one of France’s greatest living cartoonists, continues to create new graphic novels from his Comics & Graphic Novels / Literary studio in Paris.

BARNABY VOL. 4 By Crockett Johnson

The penultimate volume of the “the last great comic strip.”

The long-lost comic strip masterpiece by legendary children’s book author Crockett Johnson (Harold and the Purple Crayon, The Carrot Seed), collected in full and designed by graphic novelist and Barnaby superfan (). Volume Four collects the postwar years of 1948–1949, continuing five-year-old Barnaby Baxter and his Fairy Godfather J.J. O’Malley’s misadventures. Bumbling but endearing, Mr. O’Malley rarely gets his magic to work — even when he consults his Fairy Godfather’s Handy Pocket Guide. The true magic of Barnaby resides in its canny mix of fantasy and satire, amplified by the understated elegance of Crockett Johnson’s clean, spare art. In its combination of Johnson’s sly wit and O’Malley’s amiable windbaggery, a child’s feeling of wonder and an adult’s wariness, highly literate jokes and a keen eye $39.99 Hardcover for the ridiculous, Barnaby expanded our sense of what comics can do.

THE BEST OF WITZEND By Wallace Wood, Bill Pearson, Steve Ditko, , et al.

Cartoonists Unite!

Fed up with the formulaic restrictions, censorious nature, and onerous denial of creator’s rights in mainstream comics, cartoonist Wallace Wood created and published his own magazine — witzend. Witzend immediately became a cauldron of bubbling creativity for Wood and his cartoonist friends to produce their own personal work, without regard to commercial constraints. And with friends like Frank Frazetta, Al Williamson, Gray Morrow, and Reed Crandall, it was bound to be a great ride. (And that was just the first issue!) In later issues, Steve Ditko, Art Spiegelman, Vaughn Bodé, Jim Steranko, Jeffrey Catherine Jones, Howard Chaykin, — and dozens more — joined in. When Fantagraphics published the collected witzend in 2014 in a deluxe two-volume box set, it sold out immediately. Now we present The Best of witzend, a 280-page distillation of that publishing milestone, putting all the $49.99 Hardcover top names from the 13-issue run of witzend into a single handsome volume, Comics & Graphic Novels / Anthologies curated by Wood’s longtime assistant and successor as witzend editor and 240 pages, black-and-white, 8 ¾" x 12" publisher, Bill Pearson.

FRUIT OF KNOWLEDGE By Liv Strömquist; Translated by Melissa Bowers

In her best-selling book, internationally acclaimed cartoonist Strömquist riffs on the outrageous history of half the population’s genitalia.

From Adam and Eve to pussy hats, people have punished, praised, pathologized, and politicized vulvas, vaginas, clitorises, and menstruation. In this graphic nonfiction book, drawn in chunky, punky pen, Swedish cartoonist Liv Strömquist traces how different cultures and traditions have shaped women’s health and beyond. Her biting, informed commentary and ponytailed avatar guides the reader from the darkest chapters of history (a clitoridectomy performed on a five-year-old American child as late as 1948) to the lightest (vulvas used as architectural details as a symbol of protection). Like humorists Julie Doucet (Dirty Plotte), Alison Bechdel (Dykes to Watch Out For), and Kate Beaton (Hark!

PETEY & PUSSY: PUPPY LOVE By John Kerschbaum

The cult classic anthropomorphic misanthropes are back!

John Kerschbaum’s Petey and Pussy, the stars of the cult classic 2008 book by the same name, return, and so does their unique brand of animal neuroses. Imagine a Secret Life of Pets where the animals hang out in dive bars. Petey is a compulsive dog that values his unchecked freedom and exemption from responsibility. Pussy is an irritable, self-absorbed cat, of course, with a gambling problem. They are joined by the obnoxious Bernie the bird, who has courted a new girlfriend (or is it just a mirror?) and their owner, a sexually frustrated geriatric who is more concerned with online shopping then her pets. Their darkly hilarious adventures include tracking down troublesome squirrels, barely taking care of a new litter of puppies, and avoiding the dreaded “snip- snip” from the veterinarian. These stories all intertwine at an oddly surreal breakneck pace, making Kerschbaum’s tales of balding, kvetching domestic animals read like the best slapstick cartoons, though decidedly adult, as if Larry David wrote an R-rated for Adult Swim. $16.99 Paperback Original Comics & Graphic Novels / Literary 136 pages, black and white, 6" x 9" JOHN KERSCHBAUM graduated from Parsons School of Design in 1988.

BOOM BOOM BOOM!”—Vice works in the world.” —Publishers Weekly

Fantagraphics Books has been the leading proponent of comics as a legitimate form of art and literature since it began publishing the critical trade magazine in 1976. By the early 1980s, Fantagraphics found itself at the forefront of a burgeoning movement to establish comics as a medium as eloquent and expressive as the more established popular arts. Fantagraphics is an advocacy publisher that specializes in seeking out and publishing the kind of innovative work that comics corporations who deal almost exclusively in super-heroes and fantasy traditionally either don’t know exist or won’t touch: serious, dramatic, historical, journalistic, political, and satirical work by a new generation of alternative cartoonists as well as many artists who gained prominence as part of the seminal movement of the ’60s. Fantagraphics has since gained an international reputation for its literate and audacious editorial standards and its exacting production values.

The work of our authors, which combines the social relevance of the previous generation of underground comix artists, an attention to personal and psychological veracity, and formal experimentation and innovation, continues to gain commercial momentum and critical recognition.

Fantagraphics Books is on the forefront of viral promotion and distribution of multimedia assets (video previews, book pages, online exclusive content and photo galleries) for all of our titles via fantagraphics.com and online social networks (Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Tumblr, Flickr, Goodreads, etc.).
