We're still celebrating our own Free Comic Book Day, so join the party. See available issues here. We have several fine graphic novels this week, from ones on Bix Beiderbeck and David Bowie, to the true and poignant story of a girl who rises from poverty to Rebel Queen to Parliament, and my favorite, Superman Smashes the Klan. Plus new art books, a new Carson of Venus novel, and more. Here's our new catalog, ready for you to download. It's fun to have one of Frazetta's early Conan paintings for our cover. This first appeared as the cover to the paperback Conan The Conqueror, 1967. |

BIX By Scott Chantler
"A marvel of imaginative illustrative narration..." Highly Recommended. From the acclaimed Eisner Award–nominated creator of Two Generals and Northwest Passage comes a gorgeous and spare illustrated exploration of the rapid rise and tragic fall of 1920s legendary jazz soloist Leon “Bix” Beiderbecke. Told in stunning illustrations, at least five per page, like a daily comic strip. But this is a near-wordless graphic novel -- it reminds us of Krigstein's famous "Master Race," it is so cinematic and beautifully paced. Bix was the most innovative jazz soloist of the 1920s after Louis Armstrong, but his life was tragic. Gallery 13, 2020...More. Item Code: BIXH Hard Cover, 10x7, 256pg, Tritone $29.99 $26.99 |

It begins with the rise of Bowie's career from obscurity to fame, paralleled by the rise and fall of his alter ego, Ziggy Stardust.

PHOOLAN DEVI REBEL QUEEN
French graphic novel. Highly Recommended. By Claire Fauvel. A fascinating new graphic novel, translated from the French, and an absolutely true story. She rebelled against the ancient tribal rules (read: women are the property of their husbands) of India. At the age of 11 she became wife for a much older man. She ran away when he raped her. From that point on, there were few choices for her, but there was her ambition and thirst for revenge. She was saved from death by a handsome young bandit, which was her entry into becoming the Robin Hood of India--albeit, a bit more blood-thirsty. NBM, 2020. Mature Readers...More. Item Code: PHOOH Hard Cover, 9x11, 224pg, Full Color $34.99 $29.99 |
