1st printing. Immediately following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Nora Krug connected with two anonymous subjects-"K.," a Ukrainian journalist, and "D.," a Russian artist-and began what would become a year of correspondence. Diaries of War transforms Krug's weekly communications with K. and D. into an intimate, illustrated epistolary format. In both the graphic adaptation of Timothy Snyder's On Tyranny and Krug's own memoir, Belonging, Krug touched on difficult, contentious topics, from personal and societal identity to political conflict and more, with immense skill and compassion. She brings the same moving thoughtfulness to this collection. With millions of Ukrainians displaced, injured, or killed as a result of the conflict, Krug provides a personal look at the sorrowful effects of war on an individual level-such as loss of resources, emotional and existential distress, displacement and disconnection. Softcover, 128 pages, full color. Cover price $18.00.

1st printing. Story and art by Phoebe Gloeckner. Inspired by illustrated novels of the Victorian period, Phoebe Gloeckner incorporates the diary she kept as a teen-ager in this new highly praised illustrated novel. Her character, Minnie, has been described as, "funny, possessing a precocious intellect, at once worldly and incredibly naïve, full of sexual energy, and emotionally immature." The lively writing has been compared to that of the young William Burroughs or perhaps "Charles Bukowski trapped in a young girls body." At once devastating and arousing, Gloeckner's rich illustrations add a dizzying dimension to the tale. Softcover, 302 pages, Text (with B&W Chapter Illustrations and comic strips). MATURE READERS. Cover price $22.95.
