Marble Season is the all-new semiautobiographical novel by the contemporary master cartoonist Gilbert Hernandez, the co-creator of the groundbreaking Love and Rockets comic book series. His first book with Drawn & Quarterly, and one of the most highly anticipated books of 2013, Marble Season features Huey, his family, and their neighbors, who tell the untold stories from the youth of the American comics legend and his cartooning brothers and fellow icons Jaime and Mario, and their large family that grew up in 60s suburban California. Marble Season subtly and deftly details how the innocent, joyfully creative play children engage in such as shooting marbles, backyard plays, and treasure hunts change as the children encounter name-calling naysayers, abusive bullies, and the value judgments of other kids. An all-ages story, Marble Season explores the redemptive and timeless power of reading and role play in childhood.
Be sure to look for the Free Comic Book Day edition with excerpts from this new Graphic Memoir.

The Copra Compendium collects the first three issues of the new nearly sold out action series, 72 full color pages with a couple of new bits of extra art. It’s the perfect jumping on point and a good chunk of comics in one solid package.
You've heard about it. We've talked about it. So so much. Probably to the point where you're tired of hearing it...but I don't care. Just flipping through this when it came in, the feel of the paper, the look of the ink on the page, the whole package...it just reminded me of being a kid and reading comics. Like finding that weird one off issue in a dentist's office or somewhere and only ever getting one part of the story, causing you to spend the rest of your collecting years obsessively searching for a comic that you can only half remember the cover of, let alone the title. But it is for this that Michel Fiffe is awesome. He brings you the comic that you remember from your dreams, the idea of how cool that issue was when in actuality it was probably something like, Stormwatch or something, and takes you on a boom tube ride across imagination with a healthy dose of stupid, pure, fun. Please do yourself a favor and get this book. If you already have it, buy it for a friend. Because friends don't let friends not read COPRA.
"BLOOD FOR THE SPIDER GOD"

Devil on one shoulder - angel on the other. One tells you to do bad things, the other . . . well, you get the idea. Bad news for a recovering alcoholic if the "good" one is MIA. Between a liquor-gulping demon and a mummified cat hell-bent on mucking up his fragile stability with esoteric trappings of Egyptian Gods, it's all about to make our hero's day hit the proverbial fan.
Ted McKeever is weird. Straight up. His comics read like bizarre artifacts one might find crumpled next to overflowing trash bins in a New York subway tunnel, read under a flickering, sickly yellow light that allows for only a fractured view of the complex puzzles McKeever builds in his seemingly nonsensical works.

Comics Should Smell Good!! ep. #26
Casey and Piroshky Boy return with a heaping of shiny comics to brighten another dark, rainy Wednesday here in Seattle. This week brings us a double shot of time traveling Thor smackdown; sexy strip clubs painted in sleazy orange in blue; Psychic spies; hardcover EC horror awesomeness and the cutest li'l batman you've ever seen. Plus, from the darkest forests of Canada, the return of...THE METAL!!
4/10/13
From deep within the mysterious land of Canada comes a resounding, ear bursting riff of awesomeness that can only mean the return of one thing....THE METAL!! Finally back in stock after a record sell out of about two days, we once again have snowmen, vikings and the blackest of black metal lurking on our shelves, infecting the puny mainstream comics with their occult Canadian magics!! Courtesy of our friends at Lounak -- Becky Cloonan, Andy Belanger and Karl Kerschl!!
Karl Kerschl, artist of The Flash, Teen Titans: Year One, and Assassin's Creed, introduced his webcomic 'The Abominable Charles Christopher' in 2007, following the adventures of a dim-witted sasquatch through a world of colourful animal characters. In the few years since its release it has won several awards, including the Eisner Award in 2011 for Best Webcomic. Rather than follow a traditional publishing model, Karl decided to self-publish a hardcover edition of the first chapter, which sold out almost immediately.
Now that same book has been reprinted in a beautiful softcover edition which we are excited to offer. Featuring a new painted and spot-glossed cover, this family-friendy book will be right at home in the company of comics such as Bone and Mouse Guard.
Inside the front cover is a “This book belongs to” page, so you can
personalize it for yourself or as a gift to loved ones.
Andy B's 40 pages of pure black and white mini-comic destruction, in a blood red, hand stamped 7" record jacket with a color cover. 7"x7".
1430. In the bitter dark of the Transylvanian winter, Vlad Dracul and his brother narrowly escape their Turkish captors, fleeing into the woods and almost certain danger. There he is entranced by a mysterious witch- but when a prophecy arises that claims their child will be the Antichrist, Vlad is forced to make a difficult decision for the future of his country, the Order of the Dragon, and his son: DRACULA!
BLACK CHURCH is one part The Omen, one part Game of Thrones, and all parts METAL!

The critically acclaimed short story that sold out of it's initial print-run of 1,000 in just two months is back in stock! It also ships with a free WOLVES bookmark, while supplies last.
As a lone hunter tracks an elusive beast through the forest, he reflects on his life and past love through a series of flashbacks, bringing the story to a climax that is as romantic as it is violent. This powerful mini-comic lends itself to multiple read-throughs, never giving concrete answers but (like the best enigmatic endings) leaves your own conclusions satisfying
The much anticipated follow-up to 2011's WOLVES, THE MIRE is a self-contained story set on the eve of battle, when a humble squire is given the task of delivering a letter to a decomposing castle in a swamp. Met with mysterious apparitions, he slowly unveils the truth about why he was sent there, as his past is re-written over the course of twenty two pages.
