ART YOUNG’S INFERNO By Art Young; Introduction by Steven Heller; Foreword by Glenn Bray

A stunning reprint of the 1934 classic with never-before-seen images.

In 1934, Art Young, the preeminent American political cartoonist in the first half of the twentieth century, wrote and drew his satirical interpretation of Gustave Doré’s version of Dante’s Inferno and created one of the most searing — and hilarious — indictments of capitalism ever published. Capitalist oligarchs and their minions have been condemned to Hell, but because they are capitalists, after all, and are used to getting their way, they effectively lead a hostile takeover, throw out Satan, and turn the Inferno into the last bastion of the free market. Everything in the new Hell is privatized and operated by a corporate monopoly — maximizing profits and misery. The fire department won’t put out your burning home unless you pay for the water first. Parks charge admission and cool breezes cost a dollar. Hell has become $29.99 Hardcover the perfect capitalist paradise.

COWBOY By Rikke Villadsen

An uproariously surreal take on the classic Western.

The place: a typical nineteenth century Western town. The time: when men were men — and women didn’t have much to do aside from gazing longingly out the window. One day, without warning, a rugged outlaw rides into town, swinging his six-guns and stirring up trouble. Meanwhile, an idle young woman gets the notion to outfit herself as a cowboy and make her getaway. Cowboy has all the makings of a classic, if wickedly unconventional, Wild West yarn. Danish cartoonist Rikke Villadsen deconstructs the tired tropes of the Western genre with wild abandon. Villadsen’s absurd vision of the old West features exploding prostitutes, menstruating cowgirls, mysterious gender- bending, and much more; when the dust settles, the rip-roaring ride that $19.99 Hardcover is Cowboy ultimately reveals itself to be a heady interrogation into gender Comics & Graphic Novels / Literary identity and queerness.

CRYPTOID By Eric Haven

Famous monsters of Haven-land!

Cryptoid is a book about monsters — giant monsters, tiny monsters, robot monsters, cosmic monsters. Some work for the benefit of humankind, others are agents of chaos. These bizarre creatures are depicted in a series of interconnected stories, which take place within different planes of existence. Trippy and deadpan, the stories share the perspective seen from a world gone horribly wrong (sound familiar?). Haven’s comics, at first glance, look like standard genre fiction, but upon closer reflection become as disorienting as a house of mirrors, as layers are peeled back and worlds behind worlds are revealed, including our own, despite the fantasy trappings. These surrealist, self-reflexive, and superbly rendered comics surprise at every turn and showcase an inherent joy for the comics medium. $14.99 Hardcover Comics & Graphic Novels / Science ERIC HAVEN lives in San Leandro, CA with his wife.

FATHER BOY By Moa Romanova; Translated by Melissa Bowers

Tinder matches go wrong all the time — but not like this.

Every young person knows that most matches one finds on Tinder likely harbor some combination of dubious intentions, dubious life goals, and dubious (if not absent) sources of income. The Gods seem to want to prove this truism wrong when Moa — broke, depressed, and living with a group of transients above an old store — matches with a very famous celebrity on the popular hook-up site. Not only does the 53-year-old like Moa — he also immediately gives her the support, validation, and motivation that not even her therapist can provide. The older man seems to genuinely believe in her, and even encourages her artistic ambition by offering financial support. However, Moa soon discovers that there are strings attached, and her would-be savior is not motivated purely by philanthropy, as the relationship grows more and more troubling. Drawn in a gorgeously contemporary style that echoes de Chirico and $24.99 Hardcover ’80s design, Romanova delivers a riveting work of autobiography.

THE COMPLETE WORKS OF FANTE BUKOWSKI By Noah Van Sciver NOT FINAL COVER NOT The complete trials and tribulations of America’s worst writer are collected at long last.

What happens when you’re considered a “writer’s writer” that no writer’s ever read? Enter Fante Bukowski and this comprehensive volume collecting the wonderfully delusional saga of his bumbling life. Living in a beat-up motel and consorting with the downtrodden as well as the mid-level literati, Fante Bukowski must overcome great obstacles — a love interest turned rival, ghostwriting a teen celebrity’s memoirs, no actual talent — to gain the respect and adoration of critics and, more importantly, his father. The Complete Works of Fante Bukowski assembles all three volumes of Noah Van Sciver’s multiple Eisner Award-nominated series skewering the all- important and pretentious male figure. Mining his interest in pathos and the $34.99 Hardcover human condition, Van Sciver has created a character study, warts and all, with Comics & Graphic Novels / Literary empathy and absurdity of a self-styled author determined that he’s just one 388 pages, full color, 6⅓" × 9⅓" more poem (or drink) away from success.

Fante Bukowski is filled For other books by Noah Van with sharp, extremely observant gags...” — The Sunday Guardian Sciver, see page 23.

I THINK HE’S CRAZY! By B.K. Taylor; Foreword by Tim Allen; Afterword by R.L. Stine

Torn from the pages of National Lampoon.

For fourteen years, cartoonist B.K. Taylor regaled and baffled the readers of National Lampoon with the good-natured goofiness of his odd suburban family, “The Appletons,” and his innocent cast of Canadians who encountered the outside world and the trials of everyday life in “Timberland Tales.” Now Fantagraphics brings you the complete collection of Taylor’s own special brand of off-center wackiness with I Think He’s Crazy!, showcasing the complete run of “The Appletons,” “Timberland Tales,” and his other crazy creations. Talyor’s art is richly, realistically, and subversively detailed. At first you might think he’s playing it straight, but take a closer look …

THE ROUGH PEARL By Kevin Mutch

An aspiring digital artist contends with his bleak prospects — and his own Ativan-addled mind!

Thirty-something Adam Kline is one sad sack. He’s stuck in a thankless university adjunct position, surrounded by pretentious academic boors, married to an ambitious woman sick of supporting his starry-eyed pipe dreams, and completely ignored by the New York art scene. Miraculously, though, things seem to be looking up for hapless Adam. A promotion appears on the horizon, a high-end art dealer expresses interest in his work, and a talented and intriguing student of Adam’s rekindles his creative (and other) passions. However, there’s just one problem — his mysterious medical condition keeps blacking him out at the most inopportune times, and slowly blurs his perceptions of reality and fantasy … In The Rough Pearl, Xeric Award-winning cartoonist Kevin Mutch skewers $22.99 Paperback Original theory-spouting academics, sleazy art dealers, and obnoxious over-sharers.

NOBODY LEFT WE ARE NOT ALONE By Mr. Fish

The renowned political satirist asks the burning question: is there a left left?

What does it mean to be a “leftist” in America nowadays, particularly when members of the left compare themselves to those who exemplified the term during the 1960s and ’70s? Can there even be a true left anymore when our political center has moved so far to the right? In consideration of previous generations, have we abdicated our critical thinking and genuine love of life? Has our marketing and the blatant commodification of information made

PORTRAIT OF A DRUNK SHOULD WE ENGAGE IN COMBAT? By Florent Ruppert, Jérôme Mulot, and Olivier Schrauwen; Translated by Erica Mena

CERTAINLY Guy is no master mariner, with a clipped red (or black) beard. He’s just an NOT ordinary member of the crew — able enough, but also a lazy, cowardly liar, a drunkard, and a thief. He urinates on bar counters and vomits in ladies’ restrooms.

“Fantagraphics… has published and championed many of the finest “Fantagraphics publishes the best comics in the world.” —Wired cartoonists working today.”—John Hodgman, “Fantagraphics [is] raising bars and smashing boundaries with every “One of the foremost publishers of comics, graphic novels and related mammoth step they take. 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 The Comics Journal 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 underground comix 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 ( 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.).
