SEARCH AND DESTROY TP VOL 01 (O/A)
(W) Atsushi Kaneko, Osamu Tezuka
From the cinematic mind of Atsushi Kaneko (Bambi and
Her Pink Gun) comes a contemporary reimagining of the
timeless, Eisner Award-winning Dororo, by "God of Manga"
Osamu Tezuka (Buddha, Astro Boy).
This is a tale of rage. Rage against hypocrisy, injustice, exploitation, and
the wrongs done to a child who grew into a righteous killer . Complete in
three volumes, Search and Destroy transplants the vengeful action of Dororo
from feudal Japan into a dystopian future where mercenary robots known
as "creatures" serve the human elite and victimize the city's scrabbling,
desperate masses. The violent death of one of these creatures connects an
orphaned thief named Doro with a mysterious girl in a stinking animal hide
that conceals deadly cybernetic implants. Who is this mysterious girl? How
is she killing, one by one, the city's most twisted and powerful creatures?
Originally serialized from 2019-2021 in the Japanese manga monthly
TezuComi, Search and Destroy is a brilliantly-crafted thriller about an outsider
looking for meaning and vengeance in the unjust world that took everything
away from her. Kaneko populates a stunning, high-contrast setting that echoes
postwar Cuba as much as Tokyo with an unforgettable cast of scrappy heroes and
skin-crawling monsters on a nonstop ride full of action and suspense. This authorized
retelling updates the rebellious '60s spirit of the original Dororo for the equally
tumultuous 2020s, mixing Tezuka's signature dark yet playful storytelling sense
with Kaneko's own wide range of influences, which include Western cartoonists
like Daniel Clowes and Charles Burns as well as filmmakers like David Lynch. The
result is not only one of the best sci-fi manga of recent years, but also one of the most
visually rich and distinctive works of graphic storytelling in any genre or language.
Atsushi Kaneko is a Japanese manga artist from Sakata, Yamagata Prefecture. His
two books, Bambi and Her Pink Gun and Soil, have both been published in France.
Bambi has also been published in English and Soil has been adapted into a television
drama series. Osamu Tezuka (1928-1989) was a Japanese manga artist, cartoonist,
and animator. His prolific output, pioneering techniques, and innovations in genre
storytelling earned him such titles as "the Father of Manga," "the Godfather of Manga,"
and "the God of Manga." (STL292052) (DEC231458) (C: 0-1-2)

(W/A/CA) Atsushi Kaneko
The second volume in manga creator Atsushi Kaneko's cyberpunk retelling of the timeless, Eisner Award-winning Dororo by "God of Manga" Osamu Tezuka.
Hyaku has been betrayed. A fearsome killer, her body more machine than flesh, she has learned the truth: Her human body parts were bartered away when she was a baby, and what remained was left for dead. Filled with incandescent rage, Hyaku embarks on a vengeful rampage to dismantle the monsters who took her apart and violently reclaim what she has lost. But as she replaces her cybernetic implants with the flesh and blood she has been denied, a new emotion sets in: fear. Fear that her human body will be too weak to finish what she started - and fear of what she might learn next about her own past. Will her anger and ruthlessness be enough to propel her to the final showdown? Or will revelations about the depravity of her world consume her, along with everyone around her?
Originally serialized from 2019-2021 in the Japanese manga monthly TezuComi, Search and Destroy is a brilliantly-crafted thriller about an outsider looking for meaning and vengeance in the unjust world that took everything away from her. In a stunning, high-contrast setting that blends the post-Cold War former Soviet Bloc with a gritty futuristic Tokyo, Kaneko populates his story with an unforgettable cast of scrappy heroes and skin-crawling machine-monsters on a nonstop ride full of action and suspense. The result is not only one of the best sci-fi manga of recent years but also one of the most visually rich and distinctive works of graphic storytelling in any genre or language.

Kane's research prowess and determination to bring Hal Foster's creative process to light. This uniquely intimate view of Foster's creative process is a long-awaited dream come true for Prince Valiant fans.
Over the course of these volumes, Kane annotates with painstaking clarity and thoroughness 366 penciled layout pages, 40 character sketches, and 577 text pages of Foster's descriptions and instructions for each panel.

EPHEMERATA SHAPING THE EXQUISITE NATURE OF GRIEF HC
(W/A) Carol Tyler
Drawing upon her own bereavement, renowned comics artist and writer Carol Tyler emerges from a decade long period of grief to create an allegorical masterpiece.
During collisions between life and death, estrangement and loss, Carol Tyler turned to her pen to face facts and extract meaning from the oddly sacred experience. Exploring realms metaphorical, half-imagined, and all-too real, she explored previously uncharted emotional territory for herself and others, in a work that is both painfully intimate and philosophically rich.
An artistic advancement nearly forty years into Tyler's comics-making career, The Ephemerata features Tyler's most breathtaking picture making ever - fine, dense brush lines complemented with occasional color washes or highlights - and formally stunning cartooning. Combining art and text in multiple ways - in the traditional comics panel grid, as words-and-illustration, as organically flowing images surrounded by floating text - she depicts the inner monologue of a fallible human being grappling with questions of profound relevance. Tyler's memoirist skills also rise to the fore, excavating and colliding scenes from her history, delineating with sensitive intuition ways in which the inevitability of grief is built into our lives and our loves. To struggle in the face of loss is a universal experience. To turn it into this compassionate, deep and beautiful book takes a true artist. (STL379102)

DEATH IN TRIESTE HC
(W/A) Jason
Enter the topsy-turvy world of the Dadaists and Surrealists in this new suite of graphic short stories by the internationally acclaimed cartoonist Jason.
The cartoonist known as Jason returns with a collection of three short graphic stories, connected by an absurdist thread, showcasing his idiosyncratic cultural obsessions, clear line style, and deadpan humor.
The title story, "Death in Trieste," sets the scene in 1920s Berlin, a bustling cultural hotspot in the shadow of the coming Nazism. Here, a host of unlikely characters - time-travelling David Bowie, Rasputin, Nosferatu, Marlene Dietrich, and more - are all connected by a group of Dadaists who perform the art of rationality through madness. In "The Magritte Affair," a wisecracking pair of detectives must crack a case involving art forgeries, masked men, and mysterious disappearances - all linked to the surrealist world of the famous Belgian painter. Finally, in "Sweet Dreams," Jason reimagines the New Wave artists of the 1980s as X-Men-esque superheroes. While this supergroup easily dispatches such supernatural threats as living mummies, animated suits of armor, and rampaging golems, they soon face their biggest challenge yet, as a giant meteorite hurtles toward the Earth.

JASON UPSIDE DAWN HC (O/A)
(W/A/CA) Jason
In this absolutely bonkers comics collection, Norwegian cartoonist Jason follows his most oddball impulses, presenting to readers an intergalactic assortment of his weirdest, wildest short stories yet. A dinner date devolves into a Dadaist farce. Death decides his victim's fate over a high-stakes game of chess. Kafka is ensnared in a confounding bureaucracy of his own imagination. Spock beams down to 1920s Paris to live a double life as an avant-garde painter. Hitchcockian thrillers, literary adaptations, and homages to classic EC comics abound. Dinosaurs! David Bowie! Vampires! Elvis! Welcome to the cosmic gumbo of Upside Dawn. Norwegian cartoonist Jason is beloved for his signature dry wit, deadpan humor, and elegantly minimalist style. His newest compilation of short comics stories leans into the playful and experimental, as he mixes and matches genres, mashes up low and high brow culture, from Star Trek to Georges Perec, and leads readers through dizzying twists and turns - in sum, a beguiling collection for both stalwart Jason fans and the blissfully uninitiated.

GOOD NIGHT HEM HC (O/A)
(W/A/CA) Jason
Three interconnecting short stories starring Ernest Hemingway comprise the latest graphic novel by the beloved Norwegian cartoonist Jason. Ernest Hemingway stars in three interconnecting short stories in this graphic novel. Paris, 1925. Our story begins when Hemingway meets Athos, the last Musketeer, who, together with several more friends of Hemingway, travel to Spain's Pamplona for the fiesta. Festivities and complications ensue.
Paris, 1944. The second story starts the day after the liberation of Paris when Hemingway, now a war correspondent, decides enough is enough, and takes action to end the war for good. With a group of adventurers and resistance fights, he parachutes into Germany to do just that.
Cuba, late 1950s. Our literary lion is in his twilight years, writing his memoirs, remembering his first and second meeting with the seemingly immortal Athos. Mixing fact and fiction, Jason has imaginatively recreated one of America's greatest and most controversial writers of the 20th century. Jason hails from Oslo, Norway, but currently resides in Montpellier, France. He's won multiple Eisners, a Harvey, and an Inkpot award. (STL186902) (JUL211643) (C: 0-1-2)

PETRA CHERIE HC
(W/A) Attilio Micheluzzi
Published for the first time in English - and the first time in color - the classic Petra Ch rie by Italian master Attilio Micheluzzi follows the dramatic adventures of a mysterious heroine during the end of World War I.
Set during World War I and originally published in serial format from 1977-1982, Petra Ch rie follows the adventures of Petra De Karlowitz, "Ch rie" to creator Attilio Micheluzzi, who addresses her throughout the book. Born to a Polish businessman and the most beautiful woman in Paris, raised in Canton, China, and now based in neutral Holland, she is a spy who answers only to herself. Evoking but cleverly eschewing stereotypes of the femme fatale, Petra is equally at home in the cockpit of an airplane and behind the wheel of a motorcar. More than that, she is an endlessly fascinating enigma and one of the most iconic characters in Italian comics.
In short, thrilling tales across sky, sea, and land, zipping from Northern Europe to Mitteleuropa, from the Balkans to the Bosphorus to the nascent Soviet Union, Micheluzzi grapples with an era when Europe's borders were in flux and battle lines were often blurred. Petra steps in where national allegiances come into conflict with our common humanity.
Attilio Micheluzzi, an architect by training who grew up between Istria, Libya, and Naples, brings his international experiences and his keen sense of perspective to his work. In the tradition of the Corto Maltese adventures and stylish look of Guido Crepax's Valentina, Petra Ch rie is the touchstone book in Fantagraphics' comprehensive Micheluzzi library, prepared in collaboration with the author's daughter Agnese Micheluzzi.

FAREWELL SONG OF MARCEL LABRUME HC (O/A)
(W/A/CA) Attilio Micheluzzi
The first 21st century English language translation of Italian master Attilio Micheluzzi, a rousing adventure story that takes place in the Middle East during World War II.
The first act of this thrilling two-part adventure tale takes place in Beirut in 1941, when renegade journalist Marcel Labrume crosses paths with the beautiful and mysterious American millionaire Carol Gibson, who the Germans suspect of being a spy. With the help of Labrume, the young woman works to deliver a Jewish man wanted by the Germans to Palestine. Then, in 1942, Marcel Labrume is captured during the Battle of Bir Hacheim and becomes a prisoner of war. With his usual style and aplomb, and by the skin of his teeth, Labrume manages to narrowly escape death.
Marcel Labrume is Fantagraphics' first entry in its planned Micheluzzi library, which will reprint all of his most significant works. Micheluzzi is one of the most iconic graphic stylists of the European comics scene known for his elegant line and stunning draftsmanship. He drew many graphic novels between 1974 and 1990, mostly of adventurous stories grounded in historical reality with a patina of romanticism, in the tradition of Milton Caniff and Hugo Pratt. Micheluzzi's artwork in these Fantagraphics editions have been meticulously and lovingly restored by the artist's daughter Agnes Micheluzzi and will be the finest reproductions in the artist's career.

FANTAGRAPHIC UNDERGROUND BREAD & WINE HC UPDATE ED (MR)
(W) Samuel R. Delany (A) Mia Wolf
Bread & Wine is Samuel R. Delany's autobiographical graphic novel about how he met a homeless man, Dennis, who became his partner.
Written by Black, gay science-fiction writer, professor, and theorist Samuel R. Delany, and drawn by multi-media artist and cartoonist Mia Wolff, Bread & Wine is a graphic autobiography that flashes back to the unlikely story of how Delany befriended Dennis, and how they became an enduring couple-Delany, a professor at Philadelphia's Temple University, Dennis, an intelligent man living on the streets. For casual readers and fans, Bread & Wine is a moving, sexually charged love story, with visuals informed by Wolff's sensitive portrayal of the couple's physicality. Her black-and-white, pen-and-ink work not only expressionistically represents the characters' "body language" and the bustling New York setting but is also filled with impish art references and visual puns. The scholarly potential for the book, based on the poem "Bread and Wine" by the German lyric poet Friedrich Holderlin, not only encompasses queer, African American, and graphic novel studies, but also exploration in the literary and paraliterary academic fields.
This updated edition includes a new foreword by the novelist Junot Diaz, the earlier edition's introduction by Alan Moore, commentary by the book's protagonists, Delany and Dennis, and a new interview with Delany and Wolff. (STL380170) (C: 0-1-2)
