Visionary cartoonist Jim Woodring has chosen to illustrate an unclassifiable 1920 novel by the legendary British writer David Lindsay.

Woodring’s drawings capture the writhing currents of interacting forces that lie beneath the wonderfully arcane prose. Featuring an introduction by Alan Moore. Beehive Books, 2021. ...More.

MISS FURY JOY DIVISION Signed An original graphic novel. Signed bookplate by Billy Tucci! Writer Billy Tucci, along with artists Maria Laura Sanapo and Edu Menna, delves into the deep dark secret of the Nazi regime.

This rarely discussed, dark tragedy of history remains starkly relevant today.

ANATOMY OF COMICS Highly Recommended. By Damien MacDonald. Very well illustrated, a full-blown museum exhibit in a book — entirely from the original art and fully curated with notes.
