SATIRICAL MASTERPIECE THAT USHERED IN THE GRAPHIC NOVEL ERA TO EUROPEAN COMICS... FINALLY AVAILABLE IN ENGLISH.
One of the earliest full-length, standalone graphic novels to be published in Europe, and certainly one of the best and most original, Ici Même was serialized in the adult French comics monthly (A suivre) in the early 1980s and then released in book form. A quarter of a century later, this dark, funny, consistently surprising masterpiece has finally been translated into English. An unexpected yet smoothly confident collaboration between the darkly cynical Jacques Tardi and the playful fantasist Jean-Claude Forest (of Barbarella fame), You Are There is set on a small island off the coast of France, where unscrupulous landowners have succeeded in overtaking the land from the last heir of a previously wealthy family. That heir, whose domain, in a Beckettian twist, is now reduced to the walls that border these patches of land he used to own, prowls the walls all day, eking out a living by collecting tolls at each gate. His seemingly hopeless struggle to recover his birthright becomes complicated as the government sees a way of using his plight for the sake of political expediency, and the romantic intervention of the daughter of one of the landowners (who has her own sordid history with the politician) engenders further difficulties, culminating in an apocalyptic, hallucinatory finale. Set in Tardi's preferred early 20th century milieu, You Are There is drawn in his crisp 1980s neo-"clear line" style, gorgeously detailed, elegantly stylized, with impossibly deep slabs of black: You Are There is a feast for both the eyes and the brain.
With over 30 graphic novels under his belt (a half-dozen of which have been translated into English), JACQUES TARDI is considered the leading European cartoonist of the generation that came of age in the 1970s. He lives in Paris with his wife, the singer Dominique Grange, and their cats. There are worse things to be linked with than the image of a naked Jane Fonda spinning in zero gravity, but it should be stressed that JEAN-CLAUDE FOREST's career in comics stretches far beyond Barbarella, the 1962 sci-fi romp that ushered in the era of adult comics first in France, then worldwide. He died in 1998 at the age of 58.

Story and Art by David Lapham. YOUNG LIARS raises some startling new questions, including: Where is this place Danny and Loreli have found themselves trapped? How did a retail giant come to control a whole region of the Arizona desert? Is it the beginning of an alien invasion or just the crushing wheel of progress? Folks say it all started with a sandwich, a loogey and an unfortunate case of mistaken identity. They say if a butterfly flaps its wings in Montana, a million people could lose cell phone coverage in Tampa . . . or something like that. Watch that misquoted eastern philosophy in action in a sad little tale called "In Our Town/When The Whore Came." This time, it's the truth. Cover price $2.99.

Written by Arvid Nelson. Art by Matt Camp and Dave Stewart. Thirty-four years after a massive nuclear war, New York City is almost entirely submerged in caustic water and dominated by brutal gangs who live in a semifeudal society in the city's battered skyscrapers. Zero is a 'trash man,' hunting down renegade gang members while he dreams of escaping across the seas to the now-mythical continent of Africa-a supposedly flourishing land untouched by nuclear fires. In this issue, after a guerrilla strike throws JOCOM's plans into a tailspin and a mysterious metal briefcase goes missing, supposed agents of a powerful African prince have hired Zero to track down JOCOM's precious case. Zero sets out for the most dangerous part of the city, where he will have to face some cold facts about his past and a murderous gang he once led. 'Arvid Nelson's post-apocalyptic series Zero Killer suggests something as complicated and personality-driven as Give Me Liberty in its prime . . . Matt Camp's finely detailed art and Nelson's ear for simple, punchy dialogue and characterization make for solid hooks.' The A.V. Club Arvid Nelson's alternate-history thriller returns!
