The world of The Cloven: a place where facts are malleable; where genetic ''experiments'' live in the margins beneath the freeway. Where secret societies make all the real decisions about the fate of our world, where billionaires filled with hubris insist on tweaking the universe for our own good, where fear and anxiety seep from people''s pores so that we d rather believe the scripted television news than something we''ve actually seen; and yet where searching for one s place in the world - searching for one''s home - is still the most powerful yearning of a person''s soul.

These interviews delve deeply into the moral, aesthetic, and intellectual foundations of Schulz''s worldview and his art. They reveal a man at once humble and self-deprecating, but also assured of his talents and success. Some days he feels like the hopeless, downtrodden Charlie Brown, while other days he revels in being an artist made rich and famous through the sheer mastery of his art.

The work in Mindviscosity has been created in the wake of Furie''s transformative experience as the creator of Pepe the Frog - a character meant to provoke joy and laughter only to be appropriated and subverted by others for genuinely sinister purposes. Furie''s recent paintings seemed leavened by his experience, as his unsettling menagerie of creatures seem content to withhold their true intent. Despite Furie''s use of inviting colours and friendly cartoon iconography, Furie''s richly visual imagination plumbs darker depths.

Widely considered to be one of the best comics strips ever created, George Herriman''s Krazy Kat detailed the comings and goings of a lovestruck vagabond ''Kat,'' a malicious mouse, and a diligent dog just trying to keep order.

In the fall of 2018, the Greatest Band in the World - Tenacious D (comprised of Jack Black and Kyle Gass) - added its most crucial work to an already scintillating catalogue of rock greatness: Tenacious D in Post-Apocalypto: The Movie (released on YouTube) and Post-Apocalypto: The Film. Now, with Post-Apocalypto: The Graphic Novel, Tenacious D adds the final piece to the Post-Apocalypto universe - and it even comes complete (via download/streaming coordinates) with the audiobook version, voiced entirely by Black and Gass, and all of the songs from the album!

Two years after he published The Underground Sketchbook in 1964, Tomi Ungerer conceived The Party - a take-down of the super rich, as savage as anything George Grosz or Ralph Steadman put on paper. Each full page or spread is accompanied by a hilariously incongruous caption, lettered in the author''s hand, creating an irreconcilable dissonance between image and text. Each image is a masterpiece of hideousness, the book itself a succession of smug, bloated, drooling, lascivious, ostentatious monsters. In The Party, Ungerer''s unleashes one of the most caustic moral imaginations of any cartoonist, each slashing ink line dipped in scorn.

Atlantis exists, and is immersed in a sea not as deep as you might thGiorgio Carpinteri''s sheer graphic brilliance - featuring aspects of Futurism, Cubism, Russian Constructivism, and German Expressionism with echoes of Bauhaus and distinct whims of Art Deco - would be enough to carry this brilliant fantasy, but Aquatlantic is also a lyrical, allegorical masterpiece exploring the relationship between the conscious and unconscious, the known and the unknown.

"The second of two volumes presenting all four hardboiled graphic crime novels by Jean-Patrick Manchette and Tardi.

In Run Like Crazy, Run Like Hell, philanthropist Michael Hartog hires Julie, just out of a psychiatric asylum, as a nanny. But he plans to fake the kidnapping of his son, Peter - and frame Julie for it.

The Day the Rats Vetoed Congress is Ralph Nader''s fable of struggle and strategy, tenacity and triumph for our troubled times.

Gleefully and generously illustrated by famed political cartoonist Mr Fish, pulling no punches in bringing his stunning graphic sensibilities to bear on this modern fable of vice and virtue. When The rats Attacked the (Fat) Cats is both a fable of citizen action and a call to advocacy. You may just laugh yourself serious.

Releasing simultaneously with the Toronto debut of Chong''s dance-theater production ''dancing with the universe'', this graphic novel is an inspirational tale and a powerful work of graphic medicine.

This graphic history traces spying and surveillance from legends to the present.

Every young person knows that most of the matches one finds on tinder likely harbour 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. Drawn in a gorgeously contemporary style that echoes de Chirico and 80s design, Romanova delivers a riveting work of autobiography.

This is a boundary-pushing collection of short comics stories. Flat, digital candy colours are juxtaposed against lush, fully painted pages; representational naturalism veers into wildly surreal abstraction; pixelated panels are interrupted by swaths of bold chiaroscuro. Musturi subverts readers'' expectations, over and over again, of how style dictates form, and in doing so, also challenges himself.

Galvan''s characters navigate a candy-colored world of geometric energy. Departments of inhumane resources dehumanise the people it is purported to protect; information is determinedly mined like the gold of the 21st century that it is; induced suicidal thoughts are a tool to manage overpopulation. Like Black Mirror, Galvan''s near future is less paranoid dystopia than it is a logical extension of things to come, where the malice of large corporations manifests in small, everyday ways.
