THE LIFE OF A COAT Written by Natan Alterman, Illustrated by Batia Kolton

The whimsical lifespan of a coat—as it’s lovingly worn by each child in the family.

When the father of a large family makes a beautiful winter coat, little does he know how much use it will get. Little Gedalia wears the coat with pride all year, but when it gets too tight for him — he’s a growing boy, after all — it’s given to his sister, Yeshaya. Thus begins the journey of the coat, as it’s passed down from child to child — from the sweet Haya to the rambunctious Efraim and so on — falling apart bit by bit during their play until it’s in tatters. Drawn in a clean-line style with a pleasingly muted color palette, The Life of $12.99 Hardcover a Coat is a charming portrait of a loving family.

REINCARNATION STORIES By Kim Deitch

The celebrated graphic novelist returns with his magnum opus.

Over the past three decades, Kim Deitch has been one of the most vital graph- ic novelists the medium has to offer, including classics such as The Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Alias the Cat, and The Search for Smilin’ Ed. His new , Reincarnation Stories, feels like the apotheosis of his career, an ambi- tiously sprawling tour de force exploring the concept of reincarnation. When Deitch was four years old, he began having memories of a time when he wore glasses. The problem was, he had never actually worn glasses. Then, one day, young Deitch was sitting on a bench when an elderly man approach- es him, excited. “Is it possible? Sid! SID PINCUS! Good God, man! You’ve changed. You’re smaller! And where are your glasses?” From there, Deitch weaves a dizzying maze of reincarnation stories that spans the past, present, and future of human history, with appearances by Frank Sinatra, monkey gods, a forgotten cowboy star of the silver screen, a $29.99 Hardcover tribe of Native Americans that have successfully resettled on the moon, and a Comics & Graphic Novels / Literary parallel reality where Deitch is the creator of best selling kids books featuring 280 pages, black and white, 8" × 10 ½" the Young Avatar, who helps marginalized souls lead better lives and Territory: E • CQ: 10 in his secret identity works as a carpenter.

UNDERGROUND SKETCHBOOK By Tomi Ungerer; Introduction by Steve Brodner

Republishing a heralded masterpiece by the award-winning children’s book author in a newly designed edition.

Originally published in 1964, Tomi Ungerer’s infamous Underground Sketchbook became a notorious aesthetic talisman among in-the-know cartoonists and fan connoisseurs, revered for its audacious visual wit, and coruscating and absurdist humor, spoken about with awe among the tribe of cartooning lovers. It is the first book in which the award-winning children’s book illustrator lets loose, a blast of social commentary, dada-esque observations, and existential angst. Jonathan Miller, in his introduction to the original book, described the work as “an iconography of this bewildering, centrifugal universe. Ungerer illustrates a world where things are coming apart, where the old unquestioned entities are at best provisional arrangements, loosely thrown together and never to be relied upon.” Sound familiar?

THE HOUSE By

The award-winning cartoonist returns with his most personal work to date.

In Paco Roca’s intensely intimate and international award-winning graphic novel, The House, three adult siblings return to their family’s quaint vacation home a year after their father’s death. They each bring their respective wives, husbands, and children there with the intention to clean up the residence and put it on the market, but as garbage is hauled off and dust is wiped away, decades-old resentments quickly fill the vacant home. Through flashbacks into each sibling’s memories — the fig trees they grew up climbing, the pergola they never got around to building, the final visits to the hospital — Roca gives us a glimpse into domestic moments of joy, guilt, and disappointment while asking what happens to brothers and sisters when the only person holding the family together is $29.99.

ATOM BOMB AND OTHER STORIES By Wallace Wood with

An outstanding collection of EC war stories illustrated by a comics grandmaster.

When the famed artist Wallace Wood teamed up with legendary writer/editor Harvey Kurtzman to create stories about men in combat, the result was some of the best war stories ever put to paper. Together, Wood and Kurtzman delivered outstanding, deeply human battle 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 to sailors. Wood and Kurtzman pulled no punches in depicting the utter folly, madness, and horror of war — especially in the title story, which depicts the bombing of Nagasaki from the viewpoint of the victims on the ground — a shockingly controversial point of view in 1953! Atom Bomb and Other Stories collects all the combat tales Wood and $29.99 Hardcover Kurtzman did together for EC’s Two-Fisted Tales and , plus Comics & Graphic Novels / Historical other war stories Wood did for EC writer/editor as well.

Since 1976

“Fantagraphics… has published and championed many of the finest “Fantagraphics publishes the best comics in the world.” —Wired cartoonists working today.”—John Hodgman, The New York Times “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 (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.).
