Comic books in 'Cigarette'

2nd Edition - 1st printing. By Daniel Clowes. A vicious satire of pop culture and the commerce of art from Dan Clowes is a brutal and scathing peek into the insular, pathetic world of the comic book industry, as seen through the eyes of antihero Dan Pussey, creator of the smash superhero comic Nauseator. From cradle to grave, Clowes presents the complete saga of Young Dan Pussey, mercilessly skewering the business and medium of comics, bouncing from art to commerce to culture high and low. Clowes not only parodies the superhero genre, but also his own peers, from his publishers and fellow authors at Fantagraphics to artistic heavyweights like Art Spiegelman. Through it all, Pussey dreams endlessly about having sex with a woman, but even those fantasies degenerate into superhero scenarios. If you think Comic Book Guy on The Simpsons is pathetic (and hilarious), wait 'til you read Pussey! Softcover, 7 in, x 11 in., 56 pages, B&W. Mature Readers Cover price $8.95.

The mission is on. Wallace and Kittering are being sent to Afghanistan to look for the information hidden by David MacMillan before the Taliban arrested him as a suspected spy. Left behind, Tara finds herself with a little too much time on her hands and no real outlet for channeling her energy. Sure, she still has appointments with the staff psychologist to discuss any trauma following her run-in with the Russian Mafia, but that doesn't really scratch the itch. Instead, Tara settles for a night on the town and the distractions it has to offer. The latest in the ongoing espionage saga by noted author Greg Rucka (Detective Comics) features slick artwork by the team of Brian Hurtt (Captain America #50) and Christine Norrie (Hopeless Savages), with a gorgeous painted cover by Dr. Mid-Nite artist John K. Snyder III. MATURE READERS b&w, 32pgs. Cover price $2.95.

Written by Greg Rucka. Art by Brian Hurtt. Cover by Scott Morse. It's the first ever Queen & Country spin-off series! Set in the mid-80s, Declassified focuses on Paul Crocker as a young secret agent about to learn some of the hard lessons that will make him a lifer in the spy business. A botched escort of a defecting enemy agent out of Berlin has put Crocker's abilities to do his job into question, and when he receives terrible news about another agent back home, he even loses confidence in himself. When he leaves his nice home, his new wife, and the complacent world of desk jockeys and paper pushers behind him to meet another defector in Prague, will he be saying goodbye to them for good? Can he make the tough choices that will keep him alive? An off-shoot of Greg Rucka's Eisner-nominated series, Declassified is a whole new facet of an already multi-leveled comics story. Plus, Brian Hurtt makes a return engagement to Queen & Country, following his groundbreaking collaboration on Skinwalker. 32 pages, B&W. Mature Readers. Cover price $2.95.
