    2nd Edition - 1st printing.

    Written by John Jennings and Damian Duffy. Cover by Ashley A. Woods.

    In 2010, Professor John Jennings and Dr. Damian Duffy compiled and published a 176-page collection of art and essays celebrating the vibrant African American independent comics community.

    Black Comix featured over 50 contributors, including Dawud Anyabwile, Eric Battle, Kenji Marshall, Afua Richardson, Larry Stroman, Rob Stull, Lance Tooks, and many, many more. It met high praise throughout the industry and quickly sold through its respectable print run despite interest and demand-used copies now fetch $60-150 on Amazon and eBay. Flash-forward eight years: the comic industry has changed a lot since then, and the amount of African American talent continues to grow and amaze. While huge strides in diversity have been made, John and Damian felt the time was right for another spotlight on the topic. Rather than simply reprinting the first edition, considering the number of fresh new voices and changes in the industry, a whole new volume felt necessary. This massive volume will be a brand-new milestone spotlight on the amazing diversity in comics today.

    Art and cover by R. Crumb. Edited by Jon B. Cooke. Introduction by Drew Friedman .

    The Book of Weirdo is the definitive and hugely entertaining examination of WEIRDO magazine, renowned underground comix cartoonist Robert Crumb's legendary humor comics anthology, which was originally published throughout the 1980s. A "low-brow" counterpoint to Art Spiegelman and Francoise Mouley's rather high-faluttin' RAW comix publication, WEIRDO influenced an entire generation of alternative and neo-underground artists.

    This hardcover anthology features the complete story of the well-recalled comics magazine, along with testimonials from over 130 of the publication's contributors and interviews with WEIRDO's three editors: R. "Keep On Truckin'" Crumb, Peter "Hate" Bagge, and Aline "The Bunch" Kominsky-Crumb.

    Breakdowns Portrait of the Artist as a Young %@*! HC (2008 Pantheon) 1-1ST

    1st printing.

    By Art Spiegelman.

    The creator of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Maus explores the comics form - and how it formed him!

    This book opens with Portrait of the Artist as a Young %@&*!, creating vignettes of the people, events, and comics that shaped Art Spiegelman. It traces the artist's evolution from a MAD-comics obsessed boy in Rego Park, Queens, to a neurotic adult examining the effect of his parents' memories of Auschwitz on his own son.

    The second part presents a fascimile of Breakdowns, the long-sought-after collection of the artist's comics of the 1970s. Breakdowns established the mode of formally sophisticated comics that transformed the medium, and includes the prototype for Maus. Pulling all this together is an illustrated essay that looks at the sixties as the artist pushes sixty, and explains the obsessions that brought these works into being.

    Poignant, funny, complex, and innovative, Breakdowns alters the terms of what can be accomplished in a memoir.

    Hardcover, 10-in. x 14-in., 72 pages, PC/PB&W. Mature Readers

    Cover price $27.50.

    1st printing.

    By Art Spiegelman.

    Now in paperback from the creator of Maus, a completely original autobiography, the story of his life as a comix artist.

    Breakdowns is the chronicle of Spiegelman's story, featuring vignettes of the people, events, and comics that shaped him. It is told in three ways-in 20 pages of comix that give us the story of his rebellious adolescence, a section on the work he did in the 1970s as an underground comix artist (this book brings back into circulation-and restores-the work of his first book, Breakdowns, out of print for 30 years), and an 8-page essay in which Art looks at the role of comics in the 1970s and how, in ways he didn't understand until much later, it was already coalescing into a medium whose resurgence now is evident everywhere.
