Daybreak Originals

Have y'all seen the originals for DAYBREAK?I know, normally you're all like "That old fogey Brian Ralph? Yeah, sure he was a part of Fort Thunder, but he doesn't do Chippendale/Brinkman-style horror vacui comics where you can't tell up from down. He's all about putting things in boxes or whatever." But then I'm all like:That's right folks. 20 panels....

Pascal Girard's BIGFOOT

Let me introduce you to a wonderful new book by the Quebec (and, as of recently, Montreal) based cartoonist Pascal Girard.BIGFOOT is a reflection on youth and budding romantic feelings.

This Weekend In Toronto: THE ONE OF A KIND SHOW

THE SELVES artist Sonja Ahlers is in Toronto for One of a Kind show, which sounds pretty epic and crazy over the top as it spotlights 800 artisans for 10 days!

May I Suggest A Book For You, Ms. Palin.

Sarah, there's this nifty little book full of pictures that totally explains which Korea is our ally. It doesn't even take that long to read!And while I'm busy suggesting books for you, if you read this other nifty book, you'll be able to understand who was freed from house arrest from where and why the other week. And, it's now even in paperback,...

Everything! by Lynda Barry

We weren't actually going to announce anything today because it is Thanksgiving after all but my general sour mood exacerbated by lazy and oddly exclusionary year-end lists and unfathomable comics press coverage caused my wisecracks to reach a fever pitch and it seems they were taken at face value by Tom Spurgeon at Comics Reporter so I might as well...

Gosh, shucks.

Sometimes as a publicist, you feel like your publicity mailings are going into a black hole. So, it was nice to read novelist and critic Jeff Vandermeer's blog and what it's like to receive a box of D+Q books:"Other [publishers] stand out by a mile because they’re recognizably coming at readers from a unique or interesting perspective, and because they vary their formats and design approaches while remaining true to some central focus. Drawn & Quarterly always puts out cool books. When they come in the door, I can’t just throw them on the...

Cartoonists are celebrities in France.

So the big hub-bub in the office is that Le Dernier Cri published a Johnny 23 which is a version of Toxic which is the Cornelius name of X'ed Out and debuted it at Charles' gallery opening for the book last week in Paris. Crazy, right? But soooooo awesome. And though it looks "pirated" with the fake foreign lettering, and reconfigured artwork, it's...

Denys Wortman at the Museum of the City of New York

By now, you've heard at least something about our Denys Wortman project--Denys Wortman's New York. In brief, James Sturm uncovered thousands of drawings in a shed on Martha's Vineyard by a long forgotten ash-can artist and daily newspaper strip artist. Comprised almost entirely of single-panel gag format strips about New York City drawn in a gorgeous...

Woodrow White, Sitting Is Not Selling!

I am getting grief around the office for not posting an APE report, but to my defense, I did have camera issues. Well, here we have a video from Chris Anthony Diaz, which is better than any photo report I could have done, and maybe will still do. (if i can find the cord to my broken camera to see if anything can be salvag...

Top Graphic Novels of 2010

It looks like those lists are going to start dropping (or already have.) They will almost certainly make me hang my head and shed bitter tears for many a talented cartoonist as well as other excellent publishers. Here's hoping that all the lists don't suffer from a botched even-handedness or lazy Amazon search. This has been an amazing year for comics.Why,...
