  • The Dahl House
    Microcosm Publishing PO Box 14332 Portland, OR 97293 www.microcosmpublishing.com Welcome to the Dahl House Alienation, Incarceration and Inebriation in the New American Rome by Ken Dahl The new Welcome to the Dahl House book collects 10 years of comic artist Ken Dahl’s best work. Dahl, winner of the Ignatz Award for best mini-comic for his STD nightmare Monsters #1 , gives the goods in equally hilarious and harrowing doses. His comics show a dirty, beaten down, drunk-as-hell America where the underdog always rules—even if he never wins. Dahl’s work is normal ol’ painful life with all the warts and scars and stretch-marks fully visible and well-lit. It’s heavy stuff, and decidedly not for the faint of heart, but Dahl’s caustic sense of humor, courage under fire, and strong undercurrent of hope balance out the dark with light and give his comics a well-rounded, triumphant epicness. Like a graphic novel mash up of Gummo, Jesus’ Son, and Married with Children, Welcome to the Dahl House tells it like it is, the existential American experience in 128 pages. “A double-barreled assault on American culture and consumerism and its dev - astatng results ... Dahl’s writing is simply brilliant. He successfully presents a view of America from the outside.” - Midnight Fiction “Ken Dahl’s comics are really well drawn, imaginative, spirited, and forthright, SUBJECT CATEGORY: Graphic Novel, Comic but best of all, painfully, painfully honest.” - Ivan Brunetti, author of Misery RELEASE: 7/1/08 Loves Company PRICE: Retail: $6 | Wholesale: $4.20 ISBN: 978-1-934620-02-1 FORMAT: paperback, 5.5 x 7”, 128 pgs, illustrated ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Born in Honolulu, raised on the roads of the MARKETING NOTES: continental US, Ken Dahl comes at comix- - Author winner of Ignatz Award for best mini-comic makin' with a wealth of world-weariness and - Book is featured on 25,000 postcards distributed wisdom under his belt.

  • By ALEC LONGSTRETH Distributed by Adhouse Books Diamond Order
    Contact: Alec Longstreth • [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE More info: www.alec-longstreth.com/basewood/ a graphic novel TEN YEARS in the making! by ALEC LONGSTRETH “Drawn with delicate precision, brimming with heart and adventure, Basewood is an exquisite gem of a work. It’s a genuine miracle that a comic this beautifully unique exists at all.” – James Kochalka “Longstreth’s deceptively simple drawings of this harsh world filled with axes, ropes, pulleys, and levers, a place where you must bend nature with your bare hands to survive, have a layered intricacy that looks like something that should be carved on a medieval cathedral. One of my favorite books to spend time with.” – Jeff Smith “Alec Longstreth is the most generous and enthusiastic cartoonist I’ve ever met, and his work brims over with that same contagious energy. His greatest work to date, Basewood, is a full sensory immersion into a meticulously-crafted, warm-hearted, and most of all epic world.” – Craig Thompson ABOUT BASEWOOD: Adventure! Mystery! Tree houses! A Wolf-Dragon! Basewood tells the story of a young man who wakes up in the woods, with no memory of how he got there. The reader follows along as our hero tries to uncover the details of his mysterious past. Drawn in a highly-detailed crosshatching style, this graphic novel took over ten years to write and draw. This beautiful, hardback edition of Basewood was funded by a wildly successful Kickstarter campaign that surpassed its $10,000 funding goal after only 48 hours. A French translation of Basewood was published by L’employé du Moi in 2012, and now the book is finally available here in the United States.

  • LION FORGE to PUBLISH HAZEL NEWLEVANT’S DEBUT GRAPHIC NOVEL, NO IVY LEAGUE Recent Ignatz Winner to Release Debut Graphic Novel in 2018
    ™ FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Jeremy Atkins | Publicist [email protected] 503.837.9364 LION FORGE TO PUBLISH HAZEL NEWLEVANT’S DEBUT GRAPHIC NOVEL, NO IVY LEAGUE Recent Ignatz Winner To Release Debut Graphic Novel in 2018 ST LOUIS, MO–Lion Forge will publish Hazel Newlevant’s debut graphic memoir, No Ivy League in late 2018. Hoping to make money to see an out-of-town concert, 17-year-old Hazel Newlevant takes a summer job clearing ivy from the forest in her home town of Portland, Oregon. Homeschooled, affluent, and sheltered, Hazel finds her job working side by side with at- risk teens a new world that she has no skill in navigating. She loves hip hop, but spending time with kids who are black and Latino is a new experience for her. As the weeks pass, Hazel’s once-comfortable homeschooled skin has become more ill fitting. Things come to a head when she finds herself the butt of a black peer’s sexual insult and, instead of trying to work it out, she reports him. The consequences of her actions play out not only for the boy but for Hazel herself, as she’s forced to confront the reality of white privilege. This uncomfortable and compelling memoir is an important story of a girl’s awakening to the racial insularity of her life, the power of white privilege, and the hidden story of segregation in Portland. “No Ivy League is an extremely vulnerable, close-to-my-heart work, and Lion Forge and Andrea Colvin are the perfect people to publish it” says creator Hazel Newlevant.

    DRAWN & QUARTERLY SPRING 2015 EDITED BY TOM DEVLIN DRAWN & QUARTERLY: TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OF CONTEMPORARY CARTOONING, COMICS, AND GRAPHIC NOVELS EDITED BY TOM DEVLIN DRAWN & QUARTERLY: TWENTY FIVE YEARS OF CONTEMPORARY CARTOONING, COMICS, AND GRAPHIC NOVELS NORTH AMERICA’S PIONEERING COMICS PUBLISHER CELEBRATES ITS QUARTER-CENTURY WITH NEW AND RARE ARCHIVAL COMICS; ESSAYS FROM JONATHAN LETHEM, MARGARET ATWOOD, DANIEL HANDLER, AND MORE. Drawn & Quarterly: Twenty-Five Years of Contemporary Cartooning, Comics, and Graphic Novels is a six hundred- page thank-you letter to the cartoonists whose steadfast belief in a Canadian micro-publisher never wavered. In 1989, a prescient Chris Oliveros created D+Q with a simple mandate–to publish the world’s best cartoonists. Thanks to his taste-making visual acumen and the sup- port of over fifty cartoonists from the past two decades, D+Q has grown from an annual stapled anthology into one of the world’s leading graphic novel publishers. With hundreds of pages of comics by Drawn & Quarterly cartoonists, D+Q: 25 features new work by Kate Beaton, Chester Brown, Michael DeForge, Tom Gauld, Miriam Katin, Rutu Modan, James Sturm, Jillian Tamaki, Yoshihiro Tatsumi alongside rare and never-before- seen work from Guy Delisle, Debbie Dreschler, Julie Doucet, John Porcellino, Art Spiegelman, and Adrian Tomine. Editor Tom Devlin digs into the company archives for rare photographs, correspondence, and comics; assembles biographies, personal reminiscences, and interviews with key D+Q staff; and curates essays by Margaret Atwood, Daniel Handler, Sheila Heti, Jonathan Lethem, Deb Olin-Unferth, Heather O’Neill, Chris Ware, and noted comics scholars. D+Q: 25 is the rare chance to witness a literary movement in progress; how a group of dedicated artists and their publisher changed the future of a century-old medium.
